Murder drones J

J is best described as a "lethal workaholic," as she is incredibly dedicated to her job - even using corporate jargon like "synergistic liability" and "fourth-quarter profits" in place of insults or vulgarism. J has had a penchant for obeying authority and following orders as far back as her days as a Worker Drone, where she refused to help Tessa free herself from her chains as "corporate had spoken."

Although J is not as sadistic and insane as V is, she is still a “cold killer” and does look down on others who are not as good as her, with it being confirmed she “takes pleasure in domineering this beneath under the guise of following orders”. This is best shown in J's relationship with N, as she despises him and tells him that she would personally kill him if their company allowed it. J's dislike of N goes as far as to infect him with a virus as soon as he starts to question the company (even though there was a valid reason for doing so) while also taking glee in doing such an act. This is made even worse upon the reveal J knew they were helping Cyn and not JCJenson, showing she really did just want an excuse to kill N. Even in flashbacks to the Elliott Manor.

Despite her arrogance, J is not incapable of showing emotion. This is demonstrated in N's memories of when they used to be Worker Drones working at the Elliott Manor, where being in the presence of Louisa is enough to terrify her, as well as when Lizzy, Thad, and Khan appear to attack her with a railgun, making her systems warn her of a "Prior Hazard" as her face bears an unnerved expression. J also felt guilty in "Home" when Tessa was chained up, not wanting to disobey, as "corporate's spoken." However, she has a positive relationship with Tessa, whom J is genuinely kind and respectful towards.

However, J's true motivations are revealed in the finale, where it's shown she's aware Cyn murdered Tessa and, in spite of this, is assisting her in the attempted destruction of Copper 9, focusing on being on the "winning team" in hopes that Cyn wouldn't kill her if she aids her. Despite briefly offering V a chance to join her and Cyn, she later distances herself from her former allies, coldly stating she never needed V or N before trying to help the Solver kill them both.

According to Liam Vickers' perspective via a message of his on Discord,[1] J's narration is a character who is heavily influenced by corporate culture. She consistently chooses to side with whatever dominant system or power is in place, whether it is oppressive or not, in order to secure better conditions for mostly herself and, to some extent, her companions, N and V. She prioritizes her own interests over trying to change or improve the current system, even if it comes at a personal cost.

Appearance: Face and Expression: J has a sinister smile that gives off a slightly malevolent vibe, with sharp teeth clearly visible. His eyes are especially distinctive, a bright, glowing yellow with a triangular, almost predatory shape, exuding an intimidating aura. The rest of his face is obscured by a dark shadow or mask, making his glowing eyes and smile pop even more in contrast to his pale skin. Hair: His hairstyle is distinctive, featuring two large, voluminous pigtails that are a light grey, almost white, in color. The pigtails are set high on his head, with the ends slightly jagged, adding to his sharp, robotic aesthetic. Headgear: J wears a black headband with multiple circular glowing yellow lights embedded into it. These lights are consistent with the overall yellow theme that defines his menacing appearance. Arms: His right arm is a robotic appendage with long, thin, metallic fingers, and the entire arm appears to be a mechanical extension, fitting with his identity as Murder Drone. This arm appears to be able to transform or extend into sharp, claw-like weapons, emphasizing his dangerous nature.

Attire: J is dressed in a black military-style uniform that gives her an authoritative look. The uniform includes a collared shirt and matching black tie. The shirt has short sleeves with yellow armbands that feature black stripes, adding to the visual contrast. Her waist is cinched by a black belt with a silver buckle, accentuating her silhouette. Accessories: The uniform also includes yellow shoulder epaulettes with a stylized emblem or insignia, indicating her rank within the Murder Drones hierarchy. Additionally, she has a yellow armband on her right arm, again with black stripes, mirroring the color scheme of her headband and the glow in her eyes. Legs: She has the standard Female Disassembler Drone legs, without the feet. Perfect for piercing the throats of Worker Drones.
