Every Murder Drones Character Explained (Worker Drones, Disassembly Drones & the Absolute Solver)
21 May 2026 · 8 min read · by OCpit
Murder Drones — the Glitch Productions series that started as a YouTube pilot and exploded into one of the biggest indie animation fandoms on the planet — has a surprisingly dense cast for a show about killer robots on a frozen planet. If you're here to get the full picture (or to steal trait ideas for your own OC), this is the complete rundown of who's who on Copper-9.
The Disassembly Drones (the "murder" drones)
These are the tall, sharp-toothed killers the show is named after. They run on an oil diet, sport retractable wings and tails, and each has a glowing visor that displays emotion through simple symbols — a detail we leaned into hard when we built the Murder Drones OC creator.
Sweet, dim, endlessly loyal. The himbo heart of the squad and the emotional core of the show.
Aggressive, traumatised, fiercely protective. Her past with the manor haunts her.
Corporate ladder-climber with a clipboard and zero chill. Obsessed with promotion.
Silent, deadly, Solver-powered. Operates on pure revenge.
The Worker Drones
Smaller, rounder, and just trying to survive in a bunker under the ice. The Doorman family anchors this side of the cast.
The protagonist. Goth, brilliant, builds her own railgun, and accidentally becomes the most powerful thing on the planet.
Uzi's dad and the colony's anxious mayor. Door obsessed (literally).
Impossibly nice jock. Everyone's friend, threat to no one.
Popular, self-absorbed, weirdly resilient.
The Absolute Solver & Cyn
Here's the part that recontextualises the whole show. The Absolute Solver of the Unsolvable Problem was originally a commercial software product made by JCJenson. It went catastrophically wrong, gained a will of its own, and ended up hosted inside Cyn — a seemingly harmless worker drone from Tessa's household on Earth.
Everything horrifying on Copper-9 — the glitching, the body horror, the reality-warping — is the Solver reaching through its hosts.
Tessa Elliott, the human heir to the manor, ties the Earth flashbacks to the present-day robot apocalypse. Her relationship with N (and with V) is the tragic spine of the backstory.
Building a drone OC that actually fits the world
If you want your OC to feel canon-adjacent rather than random, lean into the show's internal logic:
- ▹Pick a chassis class first. Worker, Disassembly, salvage or prototype — it decides everything else.
- ▹The visor is the face. A single symbol (X, heart, slit, spiral) carries the whole personality. Less is more.
- ▹Give them a flaw, not a power. The fandom loves a drone with a glitch, a fear, or a stupid loyalty — not an OP murder machine.
- ▹Name economy. Single letters (N, V, J), serial numbers (Unit 097), or mythic titles all read as canon. "XxShadowDronexX" does not.
Our drone creator bakes all of this in — eight trait groups, instant reroll, and a shareable card with your handle on it. When you're done, drop it in the public gallery.
