RK Series History

The following is a comprehensive summary of the RK Series up to RK800

Everything here is mostly headcanon. There are multiple elements from canon taken into consideration: the most prevalent being the RK Series was a project aimed at creating androids with more autonomy. Everything else is purely from my imagination. It’s probably helpful information, as it’s a big part of the lore for my Connor.

Research Notes:

The RK Series is a line of highly advanced models intended for governmental reconnaissance and espionage. The following summarizes the RK Series up to its current design:

RK100—Adam (Deactivated: November 2026)

Initial model and completely original program designed by Elijah Kamski 

First development of pre-construction software. enhanced sensory modules and modified biocomponents meant to increase power and endurance 

Introduction of enhanced sensory processors to aid in auditory and visual perception, as well as a rudimentary vocal imitation software to assist in disguise

RK200—Markus (Released: June 2028) 

Introduction of moderate autonomy in an android prototype 

Refinement of pre-construction software to allow for better predictions outside of combat situations: providing more options based on spatial awareness

Increase in durability and processor speed

Installation of personal care/domestic assistance software before being gifted to Carl Manfred 

(Note: Kamski began designing the Zen Garden, but never implemented it into the RK200 before release)

(Hiatus in RK Line following Elijah Kamski’s resignation. Reinstated by Dr. Vasquez in 2033) 

RK300—Odin (Deactivated: December 2033) 

Combined combat protocol software (developed by Dr. Vasquez for GI Series androids meant for the Infantry) with pre-construction technology. 

Model passed basic physical trials and combat simulations 

Deemed obsolete due to failure to meet standards for reaction times and endurance for more advanced trials

RK400—Damon (Deactivated: October 2034) 

Refined preconstruction software to allow for real-time responses 

Modified unique coolant system to prevent overheating

Introduced more complex obstacle courses to 

Passed physical expectations of RK Series

RK500—Neo (Deactivated: July 2035) 

Introduced specially designed module for problem solving

Began mission simulations, including infiltration, navigation and escape situations

Refused to complete missions in extreme conditions; model deviated during times of high stress

Deemed failure; model deactivated and series software modified

RK600—Cato (Deactivated: March 2036) 

Added modified psychology module and installed Zen Garden program

Modified vocal imitation software to be more refined—RK600 now able to perfectly imitate speech and vocal patterns of anyone it has come in contact with

Passed all trials involving the use of psychology/manipulation to accomplish mission simulations

Used Zen Garden remote access to control the model briefly during deviation that prevented the completion of a mission simulation. 

Deemed failure: model self-destructed immediately after being released from remote control

RK700—Aidan (Deactivated: January 2037) 

Began psychological directive—fear-based initiative to complete tasks; android praised/punished based on choices 

Edited Zen Garden interface to allow human engineer to speak to android through Amanda avatar. Amanda avatar to be used as a guide/confidant to prioritize decisions in times of high stress (Note: android kept unaware that human engineer was behind the Amanda avatar)

Deemed failure due to hyperfocus on completing missions regardless of moral conflict

(Change in directive: RK Series to be used to end the deviancy crisis that has begun to spread)

RK800 —Connor (Released: August 2038)

Zen Garden program modified by Elijah Kamski to make it a network interface [a single virtual reality in which multiple bodies can enter] (Note: Dr. Vasquez held a conference with Mr. Kamski before working on the new RK model) and installed into RK800 to act as an independent AI

Modified social module to create more adaptive personality

Modified preconstruction software to allow for reconstruction

Introduced real-time sample analyzer to assist in crime scene investigation and cataloging of deviant blood samples

Deployed to DPD to assist investigations involving deviant androids.

Personal Data Entry

Author: Dr. Nikita Vasquez; RK Series Lead Engineer

It took me a while to figure out what word I should use to describe this idea, and I think I’ve got it. 

Insane.

But I can’t just throw away Kamski’s advice. We’re only going to have one shot at this, and if we don’t take it, it could mean the end of CyberLife and an uncertain future for AI. Kamski’s right, with deviancy becoming a widespread problem, it’s only a matter of time before an all out war breaks out. These next few months are going to be hell. If I perfect the RK800, it’ll be more than just ending the “inevitable” android revolution, it’ll mean saving humanity from mass extinction. Failure is no longer an option.

So I'm writing the Great British Bake-Off AU headcanons for Altaïr, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Arno and Jacob. Each character has a one point dedicated to their backstory and how they have learned to bake.

It turned out pretty wholesome.

And now I'm tempted to turn it into "what if Assassins lead a wholesome, domestic, modern lives?' headcanons instead.

I'm as though as a marshmallow when it comes to the domestic stuff 🥺.

I know that not everyone is interested in such boring content, especially in the AC fandom, but it does draw my attention.

Like don't get me wrong, I do argue a lot and don't accept any misogyny or shit. I will 100% fight you!

But I also like to make brownies (I'd write tiramisu but that'd be stereotypical af) in my kitchen that I've spent way too much time to decorate, take a long warm bath while reading a good story, wrap up in a blanket burrito and just cuddle with a meow meow in a peace of my own four walls.
