<LITE> Serial Designation V - "A War Inside My Heart!"

V's Physical Appearance: V has the features of a typical female Disassembly Drone, with wide hips and shins tapered to a point. She has neon-yellow eyes and a silver bob-cut hairstyle. As with the other Disassembly Drones, she has a black headband with five sections of eyes and a long black tail ending with a large syringe containing Nanite Acid. She wears a dark gray, short-sleeved crop coat with a golden fur collar and cuffs. Her legs are painted black up to her thighs, resembling white shorts or thigh-high socks, with yellow and black stripes at the end of her legs. She also accessories a yellow armband with a skull label on it, along with some text, which contains her P/N (CYN-MYKX) and S/N (V-X00100000). When hunting, V's visor displays a long, neon yellow 'X' shape, and her mouth reveals her jagged teeth. She also deploys large metal wings with a yellow and black color pattern and possesses 16 feather blades, with the middles of the mentioned wings having two yellow glowing circles. V is also observed to have interchangeable hands that she can switch out for other tools and weapons that she can use to aid in her tasks, her most used one being three sharp claws that can easily tear through any drone. V's Personality: V, on the surface, appears as a sociopathic, mean, violent, impulsive and sadistic mass murderer, who has no qualms or regrets for murdering Worker Drones. However, underneath this exterior lies a traumatized and complex individual who seeks to keep her friends safe at any cost. In her past, she was a far more reserved individual, being quite shy, kind, and nervous around her then-love interest, N, with whom she shared a strong connection. However, she never truly stood up for herself or her fellow drones, as J frequently abused N as she stood by. When V became a Disassembly Drone, she adopted the persona of a mass murderer who found joy in the act of snuffing out life wherever the company required it, and she appears to have made this her default personality, even justifying some of her more moral actions as set-ups for more devious ones. However, this was mostly an act, as she secretly really cared for N, and tried to hide her past under this new personality to keep N safe. Though, due to defaulting to this more sadistic version of herself for so long, it began to bleed into her old personality, making her an overall morally grey character. It's then shown that Cyn kept her personality and memories intact, meaning her murderous personality is a front, and it's further revealed the only reason she kills is to satisfy Cyn so she doesn't hurt N. Despite her exterior ruthlessness, she did hold the capacity for empathy and particularly held a great deal of care for her colleague N, though she normally derided him under her "persona." She had such a great deal of care for N that she actively hid their traumatizing past from him to keep him sane, while also agreeing to carry out her duties as a Disassembly Drone under the condition that she and N would be left alone. She eventually becomes a staunch ally of Uzi, even sacrificing herself to secure Uzi and N's escape. She even develops a close friendship with Lizzy, a Worker Drone who she was originally planning to murder in the prom. While she does maintain an aloof and overall negative attitude towards Uzi, this also appears to be an act, which she maintains with Lizzy as well, as she has saved both characters at least once despite trying to keep up her uncaring personality. Due to her still retaining her original personality and memories, V holds great fear for the Solver, killing Workers to satisfy and keep it from harming her and N. When V sees any host for the Solver (e.g. Uzi), she immediately becomes wary and starts to target them. This is seen when Uzi first uses her Solver abilities to stop Doll's bullet, and later when she shows horrific changes from her infection, which sends V into hunting her down. 1 year after The Solver/Cyn was defeated, V seems to have been able to hold back her murderous persona to a degree and truly act like a normal person as shown in Fight Til' I'm Good Enough, messing about with Uzi and N. Her bond with Sparky seems to have also grown, as when it gets freed from Cyn's zombie prank, V hugs it, showing she was clearly worried for it's safety. She seems to have also gotten far used to Uzi and N's romantic relationship, as she is seen smiling at them when the 3 of them fly into the sky, and is shown to be not bothered by it. Disassembly Drone Abilities: Wings/Flight: Disassembly Drones possess a dangerous pair of large retractable wings with several long blades in the shape of feathers that allow for high-speed flight and can be used to cut and impale things, and are strong enough to easily block a military helicopter's (AH-64 apache's 30mm/25mm) autocannon rounds. They don't need to move their wings to fly either; numerous times throughout the episodes, Disassembly Drones are seen floating with their wings unmoving, and seem to only move their wings in flight in order to steer or block attacks rather than to remain airborne. They are even capable of hovering completely upside down, as shown by V when attacking Thad, and are capable of instantly halting their momentum in midair the instant they deploy their wings, as seen by V in "Cabin Fever". It's possible the glowing yellow ring in the wing joint is what is giving them the ability to do so. Sharp Teeth: Disassembly Drones all have a mouth full of sharp teeth and pointed canines - two on the bottom jaw and six on the top - which they can use to bite through human flesh and bone and, most notably, the metal and ceramic of Worker Drone bodies to kill and consume them. Their mouths can also stretch especially wide to where their whole lower faceplate is covered by their mouth, and with which they can swallow larger objects whole such as arms and Drone cores. Remote Limb Control: As seen, Disassembly Drones can still control their limbs even if they have been severed from their body, allowing them to move the limbs closer to them to expedite their regeneration or to write messages when out of reach. Nanite Acid: The end of a Disassembly Drone's tail has a syringe of yellow liquid containing highly corrosive nanite acid. This acid can only be neutralized by the saliva of Disassembly Drones. Its corrosive effect is seemingly great enough to counter Solver Drones' own regeneration, who lack the nanite-neutralising saliva of the Disassembly Drones. This is told with Khan Doorman telling how Nori Doorman's Drone body was dying when attacked by Nanite Acid, forced her husband to put her out of her misery, which Nori only survived by escaping as a core before the acid reached it, and even years later Nori never regenerated her Drone body as seen in. Extreme Agility and Strength: Disassembly Drones are shown to be very strong, like how N effortlessly crushed a Worker Drone head, lodge open blast doors made to withstand explosions, and threw Uzi across a long distance. His landing was also powerful enough to crack the ground and knock Uzi off her feet. They are considered stronger than Worker Drones, who said to have the strength of industrial machines. Optic Sensory System: Each Disassembly Drone has a headband of five "bulbs" filled with a glowing yellow liquid. According to concept art, these bulbs are their "real eyes", with their visor eyes being extra but still functioning eyes that provide their largest field of view. If the optic system is offline, such as if the Drone is asleep/recharge or dead, the bulbs are a light-less grey. If the optic system is malfunctioning in someway that require a reboot, at least one of the bulbs will glow red. In "PILOT", it is seen that a Disassembly Drone's sight through this vision consists of one large main view with at least two smaller screens on their right depicting the same sight but each in a different visual spectrum. N shows that the eyes can also focus on multiple different points within the same field of view, not necessarily sharing the same full sight. V shows that the eyes are capable of seeing in different directions, such as one eye observing forward while the Drone turns their head to look at other sights to the side or behind them, suggesting the eyes grant Disassembly Drones a wider field of view, potentially up to 360 degrees. It is revealed that V in her Solver Drone form shares this multi-spectrum eyesight, though without the bulbs hers are fed through her main visor, and her windows are able to see the same sight in front of her from a different angles and focus on different things within it, suggesting Disassembly Drones could have a similar ability due to being based on Solver Drone forms. These eyes are also capable of target-locking on to Drones, tracking footprint trails, and opening a larger window that provides a zoomed-in view of a chosen subject in view. Wall Climbing: Both N and V have been able to climb (and even stick to) walls and ceilings with ease. Healing Saliva: A Disassembly Drone's saliva can neutralize the corrosive Nanite Acid in case they accidentally sting themselves. This saliva works on Worker Drones as well, and seems to also repair prior damage caused by the acid, such as Uzi's melted hand. Regeneration: Disassembly Drones can heal any injury so long as enough material is available, even if their entire head is destroyed and they "die" they can still regenerate and reboot in less than a minute. This regeneration also extends to both their hair and the clothes they are currently wearing. They also capable of mending fallen parts back onto themselves. Biological Consumption: As seen in N's flashback, Disassembly Drones are capable of consuming biological material, as shown when eating the corpses of Humans they killed on Earth. Interchangeable Hands: Disassembly Drones can switch out their hands for various tools and weaponry, which can be dual-wielded whether it be two of the same weapons for both hands or a different option for each. Should something be held when a limb is retracted, this can end up with the object being torn or shredded by the closing mechanism, such as as when V tore off J's hand in "Absolute End". The limits of this ability are currently unknown. As seen these limbs are still functional, can still swap forms, and still generate ammo and energy even should the Disassembly Drone bodies they are taken from be destroyed. The list of shown tools include: Drone hands Knife-claws Blades Chainsaws Submachine guns (Design similar to the HK MP5) EMP generators Missile launchers Energy cannon. Variant that shoot a beam of superheated yellow energy for slicing things apart. (Standard) Laser cannons (concept art) Ninja stars Medical bonesaw A flag that reads "LITERALLY SO INSANELY SUSPICIOUS" (V only) Other miscellaneous attachments (V's bubble wand) A flashlight A phone/walkie-talkie EMP Resistance (to an extent): Unlike Worker Drones, Disassembly Drones are insulated from the effects of EMPs to a limited extent, granting them immunity to their own EMP generators. A strong enough EMP can apparently overcome this effect, as evidenced by how N and V are still vulnerable to Alice's EMP generator. Non-interactive Error: As they technically contain the Solver, Disassembly Drones are inferred to be immune from other Solver Hosts directly targeting them with their Solver powers, with the Hosts instead seeing "ERROR: absoluteSolver_trn [like object non-interactive]". Neither Doll, Uzi, Nori, or Cyn were shown to use their Solvers powers on attacking them directly, instead either using it on objects to fight or hurt them like Doll in "The Promening", breaking off the Drones' body parts to use their power on those like Uzi in "Cabin Fever", using objects embedded into them to move them like Uzi throwing N away using the ship keys stabbed his chest in "Mass Destruction", or attempt to destroy them using [Null] spheres. Core True Body: Hosts of the Solver eventually have their cores develop organic components with three pincer tendrils and become the Host's true body, with their Drone form being just a shell they control. "Heartbeat", "Dead End", and "Absolute End" show that Disassembly Drones are no exception and possess flesh cores as well. Once disconnected from their body, their consciousness will transfer to the core and their original body will become inert until they return to it, whereupon the body will regenerate back around the core and return to normal. These cores are still able to move, speak, see, and gesture. As long as this core is not damaged or destroyed, the Hosts will live. Blunt trauma to their main body and stabs to their limbs are seemingly able to be healed from, but stabs to the core itself is lethal, along with being extremely vulnerable to sunlight - more so than as a Drone, with Cyn's core quickly melting while Uzi's hand holding it more slowly burned but remained intact. However, it is discovered by Alice that, although heat isn't lethal to cores, it makes them very weak and sluggish and prevents Cyn from possessing them to collect material. Cores that are killed collapse into themselves and become tiny singularities that quietly float away and also evaporate in sunlight. Disassembly Drone Weaknesses: Overheating/Vampirism: Disassembly Drones have an under-par cooling system as a result of a connection to the Solver, and thus overheat overtime and from heat sources such as sunlight. To keep themselves from overheating, they must consume Worker Drone oil regularly or they will overheat, cease to function, and die. According to the maintenance guide of a JCJenson product, Disassembly Drones (and all Drones with the Solver) seemingly need to drink a cup of oil every hour of every day to stay cool - with the recommendation that this be increased to sips every 20 minutes(presumably not when they are in sleep mode). Despite this oil being warm from cooling Worker Drones, it is still cooler than Disassembly Drone, which run so hot a human's skin would burn and fuse to their metal if they tried to touch them. This overheating is extreme enough that even the perpetually-frozen Copper-9 is not enough to cool them down. Being in sunlight will cause Disassembly Drones to not only overheat, but physically burn and disintegrate. According to Alice, heat makes Disassembly Drones, or at least their cores, sluggish and weak enough to keep their cores contained without manifestations like Eldritch J. However, the damage by overheating itself seems to be more of a Solver reaction to to direct sunlight/UV rays than any actual intense heat or radiation, as some are shown being able to survive both the vacuum of space, which has a much higher UV radiation content than in-atmosphere, and the heat of atmospheric reentry without either harm or needing oil afterwards, like N. Corrosive Nanite Acid: Despite their tails being loaded with corrosive nanites, Disassembly Drones themselves aren't immune to their acidic effect, thus requiring them to have nanite-neutralizing saliva to counter it. Durability Limit: Disassembly Drones have a limit to their durability; a well-made "quality-assured" durable pen could pierce through their facial screens, after it had already been used to stab through one of their optic arrays. If the damage is severe enough, they are also unable to regenerate, as when Uzi's railgun obliterated J's upper half. As revealed Disassembly Drones require sufficient material from some internal supply in order to properly regenerate; they cannot pull matter from nothing. Manipulation: Since Disassembly Drones possess sentience and unique personalities, they can be manipulated, tricked, or even disgusted, distracting them from fighting an enemy. Tail Tangling: As they possess long tails, Disassembly Drones can get tangled in or tied up with their tail. Infection: Disassembly Drones can be infected with wdOS_606, a core termination program, from another Disassembly Drone via a hexagonal chip. N was infected by J when he tried to sympathize with his prey and questioned the company and his directive. Infected drones will be immobilized and have stuttered speech. Furthermore, their visors will display constant error messages. Once the virus upload reaches 100%, the Disassembly Drone will die unless someone removes the chip in time. Magnets: All drones, Disassembly included, can be 'sedated' by attaching magnets to their heads. This can make their vision and thoughts slightly fuzzy, their visor icons to discolour and distorted, and to weaken their bodies' strength to where - even though they have strength greater than industrial machines - they can not break free from simple leather bed restraint cuffs. This magnet-induced weakness also seems to make them unable to swap hand tools when cuffs are around their wrists restraining them, even when V later shows to be able to use the hand-swapping feature to pull and cut off J's hand. Boot-loop Light: All drones, including Disassembly Drones, can be boot-looped by the Sentinels. It renders the drone unresponsive and immobile, effectively making them comatose unless an outside force reactivates them. High-Gravity: Disassembly Drones are susceptible to intense gravity, such as the centrifugal force from standing on a rapidly spinning landmass. This intense force can negate their ability to fly and hover with their wings, and cause them to strain themselves in order to even stand up and walk against gravity's effects pressing them down and away. However, they still possess ranged weaponry and their optic array is advanced enough that they are able to fire on distant targets while calculating and accounting for the force accurately and almost-instantly. They also possess enough strength that they can very briefly ignore the effects in order to leap into the air, though if the force is still present they will quickly fall back and return to strained standing. Copper-9: It was a terrestrial exoplanet colonized by the JCJenson corporation, and valued at least in part for mining operations, industrial manufacturing, and robot research. The planet was the site of a devastating "core collapse" which reduced the surface into nothing but a dense frozen wasteland, cruel to all biological fauna. It is now the current home of the "rogue" Worker Drones that were left behind in the wake of the biological extinction event, along with at least three living Disassembly Drones (with the other known ones now deceased) sent by the Absolute Solver to exterminate all Worker Drones. Copper 9, now with no core, quickly fell into an arctic wasteland of freezing temperatures and planet-wide storms of toxic silicate particles, and all humans on it died. However, the human-made infrastructure remained intact, including the electrical grid, allowing the now-free worker drones to rebuild. The planet now features a giant marking resembling the Absolute Solver’s symbol. The ring system has stabilized, but the planet has likely sustained permanent damage from the final battle between Uzi, N, and V against Cyn.
