History Characters / MurderDrones

* KilledOffScreen: While her husband's death is shown, her death isn't.

* OneLetterName: Their names are just a single letter; their full titles go by "Serial Designation [Letter]". Though, considering their origins, the single letter names aren't necessarily required as the serial designations of N's squad are carried over from their previous Worker Drone forms.

* ConspiracyTheorist: In "The Promening" Khan puts Uzi's StringTheory papers in a vault labeled "NORI'S KOOKY INSANE STUFF", indicating her mother was the same way as Uzi is. "Cabin Fever" however reveals that many of her papers were about warnings that the Disassembly Drones were coming long before they arrived and that whatever she was working on at the abandoned company facility might have driven her insane as a result. "Mass Destruction" suggests they were less "theories", and more what little of her scattered memories she had resurfacing, as she tells N that her mind get scattered from the time of the core collapse to her initial "death", a page from her notebook reading "I think the entity of previous pages purged files from my memories. It's sent something to eliminate the other hosts", implying the Solver itself wiped her mind to make it easier to eliminate her.

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: As indicated by how her eyes flash yellow at the end of "Pilot", it's implied her programming is starting to become like that of the Disassembly Drones she's spent the whole story trying to kill. Later episodes reveal she instead was affected by the Absolute Solver, which made Doll into an oil drinking serial killer like the Disassembly Drones. "Cabin Fever" goes both ways; her Absolute Solver powers give her organic wings and a tail, making her look like the Murder Drones in their combat forms.

-->'''Keybug:'''[bruh.jpg] 💀

** Not to mention what it did with Tessa's corpse shows a drone body as a skeleton underneath her skin.

* ButtMonkey: It gets caught in a tug-of-war between Uzi and Doll, it is kidnapped by Doll, twice and finally when Tessa briefly gets it back, she spins it on her finger, making the poor roach sick.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last time the Keybug is seen is in "Dead End" when Doll uses it to go deeper into the lab. By "Mass Destruction" however, it is nowhere to be found.

* MeaningfulName: Yeva in Russian means "life", which fits to the fact that she saved Nori from the Absolute Solver.

* PhlebotinumRebel: From the perspective of the Absolute Solver, not [=JCJepson=], interestingly enough. Being exposed to the software "Patch.2.1.8" (presumably the same patch carried within the crucifix-shaped USB sticks) allowed her to retain her sense of self while still having access to her Solver abilities.

* YouAreNumberSix: Was known as Subject 048

* AlphaBitch: Her being a school student who ruthlessly bullies people she doesn't like gives off this vibe.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Her constant saving of discarded drones while being the only known human to ever treat them like people instead of tools got her killed and her corpse used as a puppet by one of them.

* {{Jerkass}}: While the Solver is occasionally falsely polite, it's also incredibly smug and constantly talks down to its victims just before murdering them in an incredibly brutal way.

* PoweredByABlackHole: {{Implied|Trope}}, with the Absolute Solver having at least ''something'' to do with singularities. The 'heart' of "Eldritch J" disappears into a black hole when N kills it, Nori's RoomFullOfCrazy includes drawings of singularities, and N's flashback on touching the "Zombie Drones" video includes a shot of what looks like a black hole as well.
** In addition, Cyn's comments about being "the Solver of the Absolute Fabric, the Void, the Exponential End" further deepen the link to black holes, though it's uncertain as to if Cyn is claiming these as three different titles (marking Cyn ''as'' "the Void") or as one title with the latter two declarations being clarifications (marking Cyn as something that ''solves'' the Void).

* SatanicArchetype: The Absolute Solver is a deeply powerful and deeply malevolent force that possesses and corrupts Drones into twisted and violent monstrosities, and it was heavily implied to have taken hosts in Zombie Drones by [[DealWithTheDevil making deals with them to get out of their desperate situations]]. "Mass Destruction", as part of its ReligiousHorror motif, blatantly compares it with the Devil. [=JCJenson=] scientists, led by one inexplicably dressed in papal attire, tried to contain it by binding a possessed Nori in a church and using a device with a pentagram light display to immobilize her when she tried to attack. The USB patch to "exorcise" it takes the form of a holy cross.

* TheSociopath: The Solver has no concern for anyone besides itself, and despite showing mild concern for Tessa it doesn't seem to have her safety as a priority. The Solver's only real concern seems to be enjoying itself by slaughtering as many people as it can.

* CuteAndPsycho: Is pretty adorable-looking, but is also the most bloodthirsty of the Disassembly Drones seem so far.

* FauxAffablyEvil: She speaks in a polite tone even when she's brutally murdering someone or nonchalantly taking witness to someone's remains, and also offers the occasional mischievous laugh. Surprisingly, she never ''actually'' directly insults someone despite said false politeness, but on the other hand, she acts incredibly insensitive - to such a degree than even N in disgusted by her.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Possessing strange powers seemingly connected to the Absolute Solver, Doll is clearly not just another Worker Drone, nor is it known whose side she's on, considering she keeps Lizzy from letting the Solver in, with the hologram glaring at her before disappearing. In "The Promening", the ambiguous part is completely dropped, as she's revealed to be a ''major'' SerialKiller with a minor HairTriggerTemper. Notably though, she does promise to get help for Uzi's Absolute Solver, suggesting she's not completely bad. [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's looking for a USB that will exorcise the Solver out of her in fear of it possessing her. When a Solver-infected Tessa kills her, her last words are to warn Uzi to 'Fight Back']].
* AntiVillain: She's hinted to be one as early as "The Promening", when, despite her [[SerialKiller horrific body count]], completely murderous tendencies and MoralMyopia, she immediately stops attacking Uzi upon realizing they have the same powers, and empathetically promises Uzi that if she finds her "solution" to their shared predicament, she'll try to help Uzi too. She furthermore doesn't hurt Uzi ''or'' her father when taking the Keybug from them, which is more than she previously did for nearly everyone else who was in her way. [[spoiler:"Dead End" and "Mass Destruction" reveal that Doll's end-goal is to retrieve the anti-Solver patch so that the Absolute Solver can't turn her into its host, which, as she briefly comments, will also prevent the Solver from being able to use her to destroy Copper 9 as it destroyed Earth -- however, to achieve that end, Doll is furthermore willing to sever her tenuous partnership with Tessa, and ruthlessly attempts to send the latter, Uzi and the Disassembly Drones to their deaths by Sentinels. Still, when it's clear that Doll has lost and isn't getting out alive, she ''does'' spend her final minutes encouraging Uzi to succeed where she failed at beating the Solver and saving herself]].

* AssholeVictim: Her circumstances and motivations are very much tragic, and her demise is nothing short of horrific [[spoiler:when the Absolute Solver attacks her and devours her heart-core after manipulating her]]. But it's very hard to feel ''too'' sorry for Doll, since she brutally slaughtered dozens of innocent Workers including her classmates, some of them even for no other reason than ForTheEvulz, [[spoiler:and she succeeded in causing V's death while attempting to feed Uzi, Tessa and the Disassembly Drones to the Sentinels instead of working with them]].

* VillainsDyingGrace: After being mortally wounded, her LED screen flashes the text "''fight back''" at Uzi in Russian, encouraging her not to let the Absolute Solver consume them both, [[spoiler:before the Solver devours Doll's core]].

* RightForTheWrongReasons: In Episode 2, he snarkily suspects that Uzi's software is faulty as explanation for her lack of fitting in in class. Subsequent episodes have increasingly demonstrated that he was very right about Uzi's software being abnormal and different, [[spoiler:with her Absolute Solver abilities,]] just not in the way that he thought she was.

** It's revealed that she's looking for a USB that will exorcise the Solver out of her in fear of it possessing her. When a Solver-infected Tessa kills her, her last words are to warn Uzi to 'Fight Back'.

* MoralMyopia: Doll attempts to call Uzi out for working with the murderous Disassembly Drones, pointing out they're the reason why both their mothers are dead. This might have had more impact if Doll herself hadn't been mercilessly slaughtering her classmates in pursuit of her plan to get revenge, or if she hadn't needlessly and sadistically murdered several more classmates minutes prior just ForTheEvulz.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: In Episode 2, he snarkily suspects that Uzi's software is faulty as explanation for her lack of fitting in in class. Subsequent episodes have increasingly demonstrated that he was very right about Uzi's software being abnormal [[spoiler:with her Absolute Solver abilities]], just not in the way he thought he was.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Doll attempts to call Uzi out for working with the murderous Disassembly Drones. This might have had more impact if Doll herself hadn't been causing countless numbers of Workers to "mysteriously disappear" or work with the company that's killing them.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Khan's behavior in the "Pilot" tends to stand at odds with his depiction in the series proper, largely due to the original plans for the character having him be the ''BigBad''. Khan in the "Pilot" is depicted as a flat out HateSink, a FakeUltimateHero and DirtyCoward who left his own daughter to ''die'' while being more focused on his obsession with doors, and is shown even before then to be emotionally abusive to Uzi. In the series proper however, he's depicted more as a BumblingDad who struggles to understand Uzi more than anything, and immensely regrets his failings as a parent. While the series ''does'' try to bridge the gap by showing Khan considering his abandoning Uzi to be MyGreatestFailure, the transition is still rough, and the immediate episode after he's depicted as dense dumbass than an actually negative aspect of Uzi's life.

* {{Manchild}}: Downplayed. He has the look and general personality of a socially awkward teenager, but he sometimes displays traits more similar to small children such as apologizing with a crude, crayon drawing. It typically results in him being EndearinglyDorky, to the point the Worker Drones can't help but grow fond of him despite him ''being'' a Murder Drone that tried killing them resently.

* HazyFeelTurn: While she can be generously said to have befriended Uzi and Lizzy, and has helped the former on several occasions, she shows no remorse for any of the horrible things she does. Quite frankly, despite essentially becoming an ally of Uzi's, she's still more than comfortable undertaking any violent action she desires (including indiscriminate murder) as long as N is safe.

* CameBackWrong: Despite being able to regenerate his entire head, he temporarily loses the past three hours of his memory and was unable to identify Uzi as a Worker Drone. This ends up contributing to his HeelFaceTurn even after being fixed.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They're also essentially robotic vampires, given they need to drink the oil of Worker Drones with their jagged teeth to stave off fatally overheating, [[WeakenedByTheLight sunlight is deadly to them]]; and they possess [[VoluntaryShapeshifting limited shape-shifting]], [[{{Flight}} jagged-looking wings]], SuperStrength, wall-crawling abilities, endurance and a HealingFactor of eldritch proportions, and a tendency to sleep hanging upside-down like a bat. The PTSD attack that N's gaze induces in Khan which causes him to back off also seems like a metaphorical take on a vampire's hypnotic gaze. The three known Murder Drones also apparently started out as the same type of drone as the people they now prey upon before they were modified into their current forms. It also appears that destroying their torso, which is likely where their cores are located, is the one thing that can physically kill them, similar to how vampires can be killed via "steak in the heart".
