Here’s a list of misc headcanons that I have about detroit become human (some spoilers for the game). These are based on food/eating with androids.
- yk-500 models are designed with the ability to eat food. This makes sense because in game Kara is instructed to feed Alice and Rose also makes food for Alice when she would probably know what a yk-500 model looks like.
-yk-500 models, though, cannot use this food for energy like a human child. It’s simply for aesthetics/comfort of their caregiver.
- continuing, all standard care taker and housekeeper androids are able to sample food for quality, taste, more indepth nutritional values, and possible allergins. This includes PL600s, AX400s, and Markus’s model.
- the sophistication of this feature depends on the model.
- also, rk800s ability to sample evidence is a form of this, so in theory, Connor could sample food if he wanted to.
- this also means that in the future, androids may be able to upgrade themselves to be able to at least taste basic food, if not eat it like yk-500s can. Some choose to do this to integrate while others find the concept strange/uncomfortable and decide not to.
- Kara does, Markus does, Connor doesn’t but he does upgrade to be able to sample food more effectively for Hank’s benefit.
