Serial designation j

J has the features of a typical female Disassembly Drone. She has neon yellow eyes and silver hair in twin pigtails tied with black ribbons. Like other Disassembly Drones, she wears a black headband adorned with five light bulbs filled with Nanite Acid. She also has a thin black tail ending in a large syringe containing Nanite Acid as all Disassembly Drones have.

She appears to be wearing a short-sleeved dress with pockets on the side and a black leather belt. She also wears knee-high stockings with visible suspenders. Like other Disassembly Drones, she dons a yellow armband around her left bicep.

When hunting for Worker Drones, she reveals her sharp teeth while her visor displays an "><" shape.

Worker Form

As a Worker Drone, J wore a black hard hat, a black and grey maid dress paired with a bowtie around the neck, and stockings.

Her twin pigtails also appeared to be slightly longer in length.

Eldritch J

Main article: Eldritch J § Physical Appearance Eldritch J resembles Cyn's actual form, a monstrous centipede-like being with multiple mantis-like appendages and a row of spikes on the back. Its head is identical to J's, albeit with a melted visor, sharp serrated teeth lining the upper jaw, and the absence of a lower jaw. It also sports multiple “cameras” with a single yellow eye. These cameras can also project holograms of drones it has studied and killed.

One of Eldritch J's appendages resembles a human hand. Whether this is genuine human flesh or a lookalike is unknown. J is best described as a lethal workaholic as she is incredibly dedicated to her job. She also uses corporate jargon like "synergistic liability" and "fourth quarter profits" as insults or vulgarism. Although J is not as sadistic and insane as V is, she does look down on others who are not as good as her. This is best shown in J's relationship with N, as she despises him and tells him that she would 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.

J is also arrogant and prideful, as she enjoys insulting others. This proved to be her downfall, as after she incapacitated Uzi, she took her time and monologues instead of finishing her off immediately. This gave Uzi the advantage to stab J with her tail. Despite this, J praises her comrades if they are worthy. This is shown when N supposedly gets past the Worker Drones' doors and, despite her low opinion of him, J genuinely congratulates his efforts and rewards him with a JCJenson-branded pen, an item they both consider an accomplishment.

Despite her arrogance, J is not incapable of showing fear. This is demonstrated in N's memories of when they used to be Worker Drones working at the Elliot Manor, where being in the presence of Louisa is enough to terrify her. However, she has a positive relationship with her daughter, Tessa, whom J is genuinely kind and respectful towards. This is likely due to Tessa's kindness towards drones and viewing them as people, not property. Because of this, J carries Tessa's orders without hesitation and even calls her "boss" on various occasions.

J is first shown in a flashback by N, where J has N pinned on the ground with her foot, telling him if she was allowed to, she would kill N herself. At the corpse spire, J notices N has gone offline; she assumes he tripped and knocked himself offline. J reboots N's systems by smacking his face, which turns N's systems back online, and N runs away to chase Uzi and retrieve her railgun. N's sudden escape makes J and V suspicious of him, so they follow him.

J and V catch up to N to find out he managed to get through the first two doors of the Worker Drone Bunker. J seems genuinely surprised and says that N was not useless for once. She rewards him with a JCJenson-branded pen. After V leaves to find an entrance to the outpost's last door, N questions the company's motives and the Disassembly Drones' fate when all the Workers are eventually killed. N's questioning gives J a chance to kill N. She plants a virus on him and leaves him for dead. J then flies into the vents to wipe out the colony of Worker Drones. J and V would have Thad, Khan, and many other Workers cornered when suddenly N and Uzi arrive.

N finally tells J that he doesn't like the way she's been treating him; J calls him a traitor for saying that. Afterward, Uzi fights J. While N defeats V, J is on the brink of victory as she has Uzi on the ground and is about to finish her off. However, during J's monologue, Uzi stabs her with her tail. The stab causes J to back up in pain and fall, which allows Uzi to grab her railgun and shoot J with it. The blast obliterates the upper half of J's body, killing her.

"Heartbeat"

In a dream of N's (actually a flashback), J is a Worker Drone maid in a mansion where she is still abusive to N. This is shown by her kicking N to the ground and asking him to move. J then looks over and anxiously greets Tessa, but she quickly gets annoyed after seeing Tessa has another Worker Drone behind her. N later wakes up. Later, when Frank is attempting to fix the hole in the ceiling left by N, J's corpse slowly creeps away as if being dragged. Frank investigates the situation and sees J's chest pried open, revealing her organic insides and core. Her corpse suddenly transforms into a biomechanical abomination, which later kills Frank. It would then kill more Worker Drones to assimilate parts for J's reconstruction.

"The Promening"

A clone of J was re-deployed to Copper 9, accompanied by her boss Tessa, now grown up and working for JCJenson. Tessa coldly states the two of them have "maintenance work" to do, most likely a euphemism for killing more Worker Drones.

"Home"

During the events of Home, J appears in N's memories. She is first seen standing near Tessa while the latter nervously paces around the table. Tessa asks if J could pretend to be a "ripping royal stud," to which J complies and quickly poses like the person shown on the cover of the Gala invitation. Tessa congratulates J but starts to rub her wrist in pain. In response, J looks up at her in sadness. Tessa then assured J that she was fine but quickly got distracted after noticing that N. Cyn later told Tessa that J had forgotten to let her out of the basement again. J annoyingly replies that despite that, Cyn still escaped. J then keeps the basement key in her hair. Tessa's mother walks up and begins scolding her daughter for bringing the Drones out again, and declares that she is going to throw them out. Tessa quickly apologizes. Cyn suddenly retorts, telling Louisa that they "aren't broken" and "can no longer be thrown out." Before Louisa could say anything, N quickly jumped to Cyn's defense and took the blame for her behavior.

Later, Tessa is seen in her bedroom attempting to free herself from the chains while Cyn plays with a doll house, and J sits on a rocking horse. Cyn and J are both chained by the ankle like Tessa. Tessa asks J to help her get freed, but J apologizes and refuses because "corporate" (Tessa's parents) had already ordered her not to do so. Tessa looks down at the chain and sees Cyn (now in her Eldritch form) right in front of her. Cyn assures Tessa that she "won't have to discard her (Tessa's) pets" and Cyn "won't discard of her (Tessa)." She also states that Tessa "seems squeamish." and warns her not to go to the gala. Cyn leaves through the opened window, and after a couple of seconds, Tessa and J look at each other in fear and silence.

Afterward, J attempts to bite off Tessa's shackle and free her while Tessa motivates her, telling J that the chain wants "paid time off" to "attend union negotiations" (a workplace taboo). Infuriated, J finally bites through the chain and begins punching it while she screams that it is an "unrelated layoff" before spitting onto the ground, exhausted. J stands up and shakes off her tiredness as she looks towards Tessa, and the two quickly leave the room. They quietly tip-toed across the hallway to stop Cyn. Tessa bumps into a suit of armor and nearly knocks it over but she notices a sword. J makes her way over to a gun case containing a revolver. They show their weapons to each other and they immediately trade.

N and Uzi (in the form of a crow) then appear, and N motions for them to lay low. J and Tessa look at each other in confusion until a pair of cracked glasses fall from the ceiling. They slowly look up and see V crawling on the ceiling. The four quickly group together back-to-back, and N tells Tessa they need the key from J to get into the basement. Uzi then flies over and grabs the key from J's hair, saying that she (Uzi) would kill her. Tessa tells the group that Cyn will massacre the gala, and N questions if it is their Cyn, saying that the actual Cyn is cool; Tessa and J seem suspicious of this. V suddenly swoops down and attempts to attack Tessa. Before V can harm Tessa, J quickly gets in the way and uses the sword against V's claw. J then instructs N and Uzi to go to the basement while she and Tessa stall "the coma patient". V attempts to grab the key from N but is quickly stopped by J, pushing him through the doorway.

The gala is about to begin with James commencing it. However, Cyn appears in front of the guests, ready to attack. But luckily, J and Tessa arrived to put an end to the yet-to-be massacre. James and Louisa scold their daughter for her tomfoolery but are immediately pushed aside by Cyn using the AbsoluteSolver. Tessa tries to stop Cyn by throwing several objects at her but to no avail. Cyn tells Tessa that she didn't have to witness this. Using the AbsoluteSolver, she controls all of the drones in the building, including J, which now has an 'X' displayed on her visor. J slams the door shut behind Tessa, and Cyn begins to massacre everyone in the dining room (aside from Tessa).

In the present day, J appears next to Tessa, having met up with Doll outside of a building. Doll tosses the key to Tessa. Doll reminds Tessa that they must take her with them since they "had a deal"; Tessa replies by firing a warning shot at Doll (presumably to confirm that she is not infected with the AbsoluteSolver). Turning around, J and Tessa see Uzi, V, and N standing far away. They stare at each other, and the credits roll.

"Dead End"

After Tessa reunites with N and V, Uzi points out that she is tired of killing J, to which she replies that effective Disassembly Drones were cloned more. When Doll betrays the group and steals the Keybug, they chase after her, which brings them to Cabin Fever Labs. J reveals Cyn's plan to infiltrate the Labs and then their plans to stop her. Tessa hands her the key to her ship and instructs her to guard outside.

Flight Like other Disassembly Drones, J possesses a pair of large retractable wings with several long blades for feathers. They allow for high-speed flight and can be used to cut and impale targets. Corrosive Nanite Acid The end of J's tail has a syringe of Nanite Acid. Extreme Agility and Strength J is agile and possesses more strength than the average Worker Drone due to having Disassembly Drone physiology. Virus Implant J has a virus chip in case another Disassembly Drone becomes "corrupted". The virus is fatal and will kill the drone. She implanted one into N when he began to question JCJenson's motives during the Pilot. Interchangeable Hands Similar to other Disassembly Drones, J can switch out her hands for various tools and weaponry as she is to have: Three claws that she uses to impale and slice through her victims. A missile launcher, which she uses when chasing Doll. A relay hand she uses to project holograms like projecting Cyn's plan as shown in Dead End. A submachine gun, which she was shown using against Uzi during the Pilot. An EMP Generator, which she was shown using against Uzi during the Pilot. EMP Immunity J is immune to electromagnetic pulses. AbsoluteSolver After J was destroyed beyond repair by Uzi's railgun, a mysterious backup program called AbsoluteSolver" appeared and began its directive of collecting material from Worker Drones to reconstruct J's form. J is the first Disassembly Drone to be shown destroyed and later reconstructed. J seems to be a good artist, as shown in Home. J is the only Disassembly Drone to be shown using their EMP generator. In the Season 1 Teaser, when asked the question "Is J dead?", Liam Vickers responded with nervous stuttering and an "Uh-oh!", implying her eventual return, which would come true in The Promening. J's voice actor, Shara Kirby, also voices Alyx from the web series RWBY.
