The Elliott family appears as blacked‐out silhouettes with glowing white eyes and strings of glitchy code, as though the universe is working extra hard to render their forms. Their hair, body and clothes form a seamless black void, as though light itself refuses to cling to them, no visible skin tone or facial features. Their eyes materialize as glowing white orbs, eerily expressive despite the lack of a face. They present themselves as wealthy, high‐status humans living in Elliott Manor. Despite their refined outward appearance, the family is deeply dysfunctional, abusive, and neglectful toward both their daughter Tessa and the Worker Drones under their control. They all have an Australian accent and use Australian lingo.
Elliott Manor itself reflects this dysfunction. The mansion is enormous, cold, and theatrical — a place built to impress guests rather than nurture the people living inside it. Its architecture is grand and imposing, with tall ceilings, polished floors, and ornate decorations meant to project wealth and power. Yet beneath the surface, the manor feels hollow and unsettling. The hallways echo with emptiness, the rooms are dimly lit, and the décor often clashes with Tessa’s macabre additions: bones arranged on shelves, occult symbols scrawled on walls, and human remains displayed as if they were art. The mansion is a gilded cage, beautiful from afar but suffocating within. The mansion is surrounded by a dense forest, with several crows flying around it. The interior is very luxurious, with a big main hall that has a mezzanine overlooking it, a bar to visit, a library with many books, a dining hall, and Tessa's room, as well as the cellar Cyn is typically locked up in, to which only J has the keys.
Worker Drones in Elliott Manor share the same base body structure: humanoid robots with large heads, semi‐spherical visors, brightly colored eyes, white metal skin, fanged mouths with visible saliva, and small colored triangles on the backs of their hands. Their fingers have grip pads like humans. Masculine and feminine drones share the exact same base frame, differing only in hair, clothing, and eye color. When experiencing fear or intense emotion, their eyes hollow out, leaving a black circle overlaying their usual bright eyes. Though typically displaying a pair of white eyes, visors can display system warnings, errors, images, text, emoticons, games, and even Absolute Solver symbols depending on their condition.
Louisa Elliott presents as an adult woman with an angled bob cut, a fascinator, a short frilled dress, and a laced hand fan. She is emotionally and physically abusive toward Tessa, regularly chaining her in her room for minor disobedience and scolding her for showing affection toward Worker Drones. Louisa’s abuse leaves Tessa with a sensitive wrist and a deep fear of speaking or moving in her presence. Louisa is also neglectful, failing to notice or care about the macabre decorations and human remains in Tessa’s room. She hates Worker Drones, calling them “dumpster pets,” and takes satisfaction in their suffering. Louisa despises Cyn most of all, refusing to be in the same room as her and calling her a “little antichrist.”
James Elliott appears as a tall, slim adult man wearing a top hat, cravat, and fancy suit. He gossips about Tessa during gatherings, showing disregard for her privacy and little concern for her safety. He treats her dump visits as a mild nuisance and calls her “creepy” for the hair she collects for her drones, saying it directly to N. James is rude and abusive toward Worker Drones, exploding at them for minor infractions and killing them casually. He prides himself on the Elliott bloodline, boasting about their class and tenacity. Compared to Louisa, James is more absent and neglectful, unaware of Tessa’s graverobbing habits and indifferent to the human remains in her room. He reacts to Cyn’s appearance with confusion rather than anger and is more concerned with Tessa “holding that gun less cool” than with her wellbeing.
Tessa Elliott, at first glance, is lively and kind‐hearted, though she is actually morbid and disturbed, as shown by her room’s décor: shelves of human bones and skulls, bottles of blood, occult scrawlings, and other grotesque items. Tessa digs up the corpses of her deceased relatives, harvesting their bodies and using their hair to decorate her drones, something she does not view as abnormal. These macabre interests contrast with childish decorations like a “Live Laugh Love” sign, crayon drawings, and a pink dollhouse with buff male figures in swimsuits. Outside her morbid hobbies, Tessa appears to be a “girly‐girl.”
Tessa is asocial, having no interest in other humans and no idea how to interact with them due to lifelong isolation under her abusive parents. She tells J she has “only ever yakked to robots,” and the idea of interacting with humans terrifies her to the point of hysterics. She even asks J to “pretend to be a ripping royal stud” so she can practice. She is unnervingly good with eapons and typically holds a gun sideways.
Despite her parents’ disapproval, Tessa has a strong affinity for drones and prefers their company. She is highly skilled with machinery, able to repair four decommissioned drones left to rot. While Tessa is close to J, N seems to be her favorite drone both in childhood and adulthood. She adores her drones but becomes frustrated when their safety is at risk: she is visibly upset when Cyn leaves the basement, raises her voice at Cyn for getting N sent to the swamp, and becomes exasperated by N’s refusal to believe Cyn causes trouble.
The drones themselves form Tessa’s true family.
N, her butler, is a silver‐haired Worker Drone with curly bangs, neon‐white eyes, a black construction hat, a black suit, grey undershirt, black slacks, black shoes, and a yellow armband. He is sweet, kind, helpful, optimistic, timid, naive, and a people‐pleaser. He loves dogs, knows countless golden‐retriever facts, draws like a child, and disregards insults. His visor displays bright expressive eyes unless overridden by fear or system messages. He's Tessa's favorite.
V, her maid, is a silver‐haired Worker Drone with a bob cut, round glasses, neon‐white eyes, a black‐and‐grey maid dress, white apron, bowtie, maid crown, thigh‐high socks, black shoes, and a yellow armband. She is shy, sweet, apologetic, easily flustered, friendly, caring, and a great listener. She loves hearing N talk about dog facts and tries her best at her job despite not being very good at it. She can't stand up for herself and N.
J, another maid, is a silver‐haired Worker Drone with twin tails tied by black bows, neon‐white eyes, a maid crown, bowtie, black‐and‐grey maid outfit, thigh‐high socks, black shoes, and a yellow armband. She is rude, smug, violent, arrogant, attention‐starved, and prideful — except around Tessa, where her personality flips completely. She is surprisingly skilled with a sword, sarcastic, and tries to be presentable. She holds the key to the cellar and draws in an anime art style. She and Tessa are attached at hip in particular. She shoves other drones around, and frequently abuses N and V.
Cyn, the Absolutesolver host, is a silver‐haired Worker Drone with pitch‐white metal skin, neon‐yellow eyes, twin tails, a maid crown, large bow, awkward posture, and a loose neck joint she often props up with her hand. She speaks her actions aloud, is childish, happy, spiteful toward those she dislikes, and clings to people she trusts. She dislikes the Elliott family except Tessa. Her visor can display images, including stock dog photos when she tries to convince someone of something. When using Absolutesolver abilities, her right eye becomes the Solver symbol — a hollow hexagon with a smaller filled hexagon and directional arrows. Her visor can also display Solver variants such as Scale, Rotate, and Edit symbols depending on her transformation state. She is frequently locked up by J in the cellar.
Worker Drone visors throughout the manor frequently display system messages: warnings, errors, “HIGH TEMP,” “FATAL ERROR,” elongated X‐shapes, buffering symbols, or even games like Tetris. Severe damage causes warning icons; death causes X‐shaped eyes; dizziness causes swirling eyes; Solver awakening overrides the visor entirely.
Together, Louisa, James, and Tessa form a household defined by fear, neglect, elitism, and emotional damage. Louisa’s cruelty, James’s indifference, and Tessa’s isolation create a deeply fractured family dynamic that shapes Tessa’s personality, her morbid interests, and her reliance on Worker Drones for companionship and emotional support. The drones — N, V, J, and Cyn — become her true family, each with their own quirks, flaws, and emotional bonds. Extras: Cyn is often locked in the cellar by J, and J has is particularly hostile towards Cyn.

(At the Elliott Manor, N is nearby as we see different drones in motionless positions. N sitting on the floor in a library against a bookshelf, reading a book called "101 Dog Breeds".)
N: Commonly kept, this breed is known for its friendly, intelligent temperament and soft golden coat! (Chuckles) Golden Retrievers are also— (He comes across a drawing that was placed in the book, with two drawings of crude lizards with N and V's name above the two drawings. The third drawing resembles J herself in an anime-styled drawing, with the words "Kill yourself" next to it.) Us as lizards. J drew herself.
(He tosses the drawing off to the side, where a motionless V is, and continues reading.)
N: (clears throat) ...are also known for having gentle mouths. Aww...! That's why they're good with kids!
(He hears a stomping noise. Books start falling off the shelves, as one reads "DANGER." Two more fall down from near N as they read "ENTER" and "THE SPOOKY BASEMENT" as he sees that someone is attempting to enter the library via the trapdoor...but he thinks nothing of it, flashing a peace sign as walks out of the library.)

(An insect crawls over a teacup and begins to drink the oil inside. It finds another insect like it inside until...)
Cyn: Stab.
(The insect gets stabbed by Cyn, who lifts the cup. N enters and notices lots of camera eyes in the dark before the lighting reverts to just normal Cyn with her teacup behind the counter.)
Cyn: You seem upset, big brother N. Perhaps you'd like to attend the gala with me? Light sip. (She tries to sip her teacup, but misses, and the oil spills onto the floor.)
N: Ah... Not sure we're invited, little buddy. Why not just hang with me?
Cyn: (Climbs up on the bar counter) Climbing. Criss-cross applesauce. Am I not wanted, N?
N: (Sighs) Dude... You know it's Tessa's folks.
(Red liquid, likely blood, suddenly drips from the ceiling and onto N's platter. He wipes it off, revealing a message written on the ceiling. The text reads: "BASEMENT NOW!!! STOP IGNORING ME!!!!")
(N throws the platter to the opposite wall, trying to ignore the paranormal sign.)
N: (Sighs) Don't give me those eyes.
(Cyn's visor displays an actual puppy picture.)
Cyn: Giggle. I am so naughty. The flesh demands invitation.
N: Ah, we'll ask Tessa, OK? If not... Movie night! (strikes a pose)
Cyn: Sheepish nod. The Gala
(N and Cyn enter the room where the gala is taking place. There are a lot of Worker Drones doing their tasks.)
Cyn: (Walking behind N) Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle.
James: Western Villa style?! Were you programmed by beasts?! (He grabs a fork off a plate the two Workers are carrying and tosses it into a Worker Drone's eye, killing it as it causes a spurt oil to come out of its visor as it falls dead.)
(Tessa and J are off to the side at a small round table, Tessa is pacing nervously while J is apparently cleaning the inside of a cup silently.)
Tessa: There's humans coming! I've only ever yakked to robots, J! Quick, pretend to be a ripping royal stud. (Holds up an invitation flyer in J's face)
(J reads it silently for a second, and then leans on the table with a glass and gestures at herself and her dress with a smirk.)
Tessa: (Blinks twice in realization, before grabbing a glass and flips it to her hand) On ya, girl.
(They toast. Tessa yelps in pain before she starts rubbing her wrist like it hurts. J looks at her silently, concerned and sad.)
Tessa: I'm right, J. (She sees that N has arrived, tossing her cup to the side, shattering it.) N! (squeals and waves enthusiastically)
(She runs up, grabs him by his cheeks, and swings him around.)
N: (mumbled) Hi, Tessa.

N: (mumbled) Hi, Tessa.
Tessa: Oh, who'd you bring with— (She sees Cyn and narrows her eyes.) you...
Cyn: Seems J forgot to let me out of my basement time-out again.
J: (Annoyed, twirling the key on her finger before putting her hand back behind her head) Yet, here you are.
Cyn: Annoyed expression.
N: You guys are... locking her up?
Tessa: Oh... N—
Louisa: (Walks over) Tessa James Elliott! We will not entertain your dumpster pets!
Tessa: Y-Y-Y-Yes, mother. Sorry, mother.
Louisa: (Sees Cyn as lightning flashes, which briefly turning Cyn's eyes black and revealing a fanged mouth.) Oh! Christ Almighty! I said, "This one, out of my sight!" Still can't follow simple orders.
Tessa: NO, NO! Please, I—
Louisa: Swamp. Dumping your broken drones, clogging our library tomorrow too. Don't test me.
(As she walks away. Tessa tries to argue back, but isn't willing to anger her mother any further.)
Cyn: They are not broken. We can no longer be thrown out.
Louisa: Did that little Anti-Christ—
N: (N stands infront of Cyn.) I-I-I told her to say that! And brought her here. I-I just...hate orders...? (He looks nervous.) And your fan's dumb...? (He gives a peace sign and an awkward, sheepish grin.)

Some time later. (N has been tied to a tree and is being pecked by crows, as punishment for insulting Louisa. The camera pans on different angles to make this seem like a horror film.)
N: NO! AAAH! STOP!
(What sounds like torture is, in reality, N being playfully pecked and tickled in the head by the crows. He is also chained up against the tree.)
N: (Laughing) Stop!
(A crow hands N a stick, crowing expectantly.)
N: Go get it, goobers!
(He throws the stick in the air, but a flying crow snatches it. All the crows on the ground turn to face N with sinister, glowing, green eyes. He glances over at another drone who suffered his own fate at the talons of the crows. He gives a sheepish smile and thumbs up, and the crows begin to attack him.)
(Back at the manor, Tessa is in her room with Cyn and J. All of them are chained up by their legs.)
(Tessa is pulling at her chains, trying to loosen them but to no avail.)
Tessa: J, industrial machinery, chuck us a hand!
(J is sitting, swaying on a rocking horse, holding a blue whale plush toy)
J: Sorry, boss. Corporate's spoken.
Tessa: Cyn, if that little butler dies for your sake, I swear!
Cyn: (Playing with dolls) Mm. I have backups.
(Out of options, Tessa gets down to try and reattempts to break the chains herself when Cyn suddenly appears next to her in an Eldritch form.)
Eldritch Cyn: You will not have to discard your pets, and I will not discard you. Best stay away from the gala, though. (Eldritch Cyn strokes Tessa's face with one of its tentacles) You seem squeamish. (She leaves.)
(A shocked Tessa and J turn to look at each other and an insect, that now has it's main body replaced with a doll, crawls out of sight.)

J: (Finally at her limit) THIS IS AN UNRELATED LAYOFF!
(In her rage, J breaks the chains and starts punching it angrily on the floor. She spits on it and then looks over at Tessa, who gives a thumbs up.)

James: Western Villa style?! Were you programmed by beasts?! (He grabs a fork off a plate the two Workers are carrying and tosses it into a Worker Drone's eye, killing it as it causes a spurt oil to come out of its visor as it falls dead.)
(Tessa and J are off to the side at a small round table, Tessa is pacing nervously while J is apparently cleaning the inside of a cup silently.)
Tessa: There's humans coming! I've only ever yakked to robots, J! Quick, pretend to be a ripping royal stud. (Holds up an invitation flyer in J's face)
(J reads it silently for a second, and then leans on the table with a glass and gestures at herself and her dress with a smirk.)
Tessa: (Blinks twice in realization, before grabbing a glass and flips it to her hand) On ya, girl.
(They toast. Tessa yelps in pain before she starts rubbing her wrist like it hurts. J looks at her silently, concerned and sad.)
Tessa: I'm right, J. (She sees that N has arrived, tossing her cup to the side, shattering it.) N! (squeals and waves enthusiastically)
(She runs up, grabs him by his cheeks, and swings him around.)
N: (mumbled) Hi, Tessa.
Tessa: Oh, who'd you bring with— (She sees Cyn and narrows her eyes.) you...
Cyn: Seems J forgot to let me out of my basement time-out again.
J: (Annoyed, twirling the key on her finger before putting her hand back behind her head) Yet, here you are.
Cyn: Annoyed expression.
N: You guys are... locking her up?
Tessa: Oh... N—
Louisa: (Walks over) Tessa James Elliott! We will not entertain your dumpster pets!
Tessa: Y-Y-Y-Yes, mother. Sorry, mother.
Louisa: (Sees Cyn as lightning flashes, which briefly turning Cyn's eyes black and revealing a fanged mouth.) Oh! Christ Almighty! I said, "This one, out of my sight!" Still can't follow simple orders.
Tessa: NO, NO! Please, I—
Louisa: Swamp. Dumping your broken drones, clogging our library tomorrow too. Don't test me.
(As she walks away. Tessa tries to argue back, but isn't willing to anger her mother any further.)
Cyn: They are not broken. We can no longer be thrown out.
Louisa: Did that little Anti-Christ—
N: (N stands infront of Cyn.) I-I-I told her to say that! And brought her here. I-I just...hate orders...? (He looks nervous.) And your fan's dumb...? (He gives a peace sign and an awkward, sheepish grin.)
Some time later. (N has been tied to a tree and is being pecked by crows, as punishment for insulting Louisa. The camera pans on different angles to make this seem like a horror film.)
N: NO! AAAH! STOP!
(What sounds like torture is, in reality, N being playfully pecked and tickled in the head by the crows. He is also chained up against the tree.)
N: (Laughing) Stop!
(A crow hands N a stick, crowing expectantly.)
N: Go get it, goobers!
(He throws the stick in the air, but a flying crow snatches it. All the crows on the ground turn to face N with sinister, glowing, green eyes. He glances over at another drone who suffered his own fate at the talons of the crows. He gives a sheepish smile and thumbs up, and the crows begin to attack him.)
(Back at the manor, Tessa is in her room with Cyn and J. All of them are chained up by their legs.)
(Tessa is pulling at her chains, trying to loosen them but to no avail.)
Tessa: J, industrial machinery, chuck us a hand!
(J is sitting, swaying on a rocking horse, holding a blue whale plush toy)
J: Sorry, boss. Corporate's spoken.
Tessa: Cyn, if that little butler dies for your sake, I swear!
Cyn: (Playing with dolls) Mm. I have backups.
(Out of options, Tessa gets down to try and reattempts to break the chains herself when Cyn suddenly appears next to her in an Eldritch form.)
Eldritch Cyn: You will not have to discard your pets, and I will not discard you. Best stay away from the gala, though. (Eldritch Cyn strokes Tessa's face with one of its tentacles) You seem squeamish. (She leaves.)
(A shocked Tessa and J turn to look at each other and an insect, that now has it's main body replaced with a doll, crawls out of sight.)
Some time later. (Back in Tessa's room, J is trying to break the chains with her mouth.)
Tessa: (Overdramatic) It wants paid time off. To attend UUUUNION NEGOTIATIOOOONS!
J: (Finally at her limit) THIS IS AN UNRELATED LAYOFF!
(In her rage, J breaks the chains and starts punching it angrily on the floor. She spits on it and then looks over at Tessa, who gives a thumbs up.)
(Back at the gala hall, Tessa and J sneak around the second floor.)
Tessa: How do you reckon we murder us a robo-child, J?
(She bumps into a suit of armor. J grabs a revolver while Tessa grabs a sword.)
Tessa and J: How 'bout this? (They look at each other and decide to swap their weapons.)
N: (Whispering) Psst! Tessa!
(They look to see that N has appeared, crouching. Suddenly, V's glasses drop from above. They slowly look up to see V in a Solver-Eldritch form crawling on the ceiling. The three, huddle as a group.)

Cyn: Stab.
(The insect gets stabbed by Cyn, who lifts the cup. N enters and notices lots of camera eyes in the dark before the lighting reverts to just normal Cyn with her teacup behind the counter.)
Cyn: You seem upset, big brother N. Perhaps you'd like to attend the gala with me? Light sip. (She tries to sip her teacup, but misses, and the oil spills onto the floor.)
N: Ah... Not sure we're invited, little buddy. Why not just hang with me?
Cyn: (Climbs up on the bar counter) Climbing. Criss-cross applesauce. Am I not wanted, N?
N: (Sighs) Dude... You know it's Tessa's folks.
(Red liquid, likely blood, suddenly drips from the ceiling and onto N's platter. He wipes it off, revealing a message written on the ceiling. The text reads: "BASEMENT NOW!!! STOP IGNORING ME!!!!")
(N throws the platter to the opposite wall, trying to ignore the paranormal sign.)
N: (Sighs) Don't give me those eyes.
(Cyn's visor displays an actual puppy picture.)
Cyn: Giggle. I am so naughty. The flesh demands invitation.
N: Ah, we'll ask Tessa, OK? If not... Movie night! (strikes a pose)

N: Who? Our Cyn? Nah, she's cool. (Tessa and J look at each other in disbelief.)
(Without warning, V swoops down and splits the group up; Tessa and J on one side of the corridor and N and Birdzi on the other side. V tries to swipe at Tessa with her claw, but J reflects V with her sword.)
J: Do your basement thing. We got the coma patient you creeped on.
N: Not creepy. Sweet!
(V appears next to N and tries to swipe him with her claw, making him drop the key. V lunges at the key but Tessa picks it up and throws it back to N. V grabs and throws J's sword backwards at N, but J kicks him out of the way and takes her sword back. She rushes towards V, and the two engage in combat.

(Tessa fires a bullet at her, but Cyn avoids it with her Absolute Solver and instead the bullet breaks a window.)
Cyn: ...You didn't have—
(Tessa throws the revolver at her, to no avail. Desperate, she then starts throwing glass cups and a whole tray, but not getting any different results. Cyn is unamused, then turns off the lights in the room and takes control of all the Worker Drones, including J, who shuts the door so Tessa can't escape along with the other guests.)
Eldritch Cyn: You didn't have to see this.
(Eldritch Cyn crushes the globe she was previously holding.)
