Serial Designation V (2024)

Serial Designation V-X00100000, or simply known as V, is the tritagonist of Murder Drones.

Physical Appearance[]

V has features of a typical female Disassembly Drone, with neon-yellow eyes and a silver bob cut. As with the other Disassembly Drones, she has a black headband with five sections of lights and a long black tail ending in a large syringe containing Nanite Acid. She wears a black, short-sleeved crop coat with a fur collar and cuffs. Her legs are painted black up to her thighs, resembling thigh-high socks.

When she is hunting, her visor displays a long 'X' shape. She also deploys bladed wings and claws that can easily tear through any drone.

Worker Form[]

In N's flashback, V wore a black maid hat with a paired maid dress and round glasses.

Solver Form[]

V grew bat wings (similar to Solver Uzi's) and her right fingers were replaced with claws. Her right hand also had a yellow eye on it. Her visor displayed an 'X' shape.

Prom Outfit[]

During prom, V wore a glittery, velvet sleeveless dress.

Camp Outfit[]

At Camp 98.7, she wore a scoutmaster's outfit, which included a green shirt and shorts. She also wore a wide-brimmed campaign hat.

Personality[]

When V was a Worker Drone, she was far more sane and kind than she currently is, and also more shy.

When first introduced, V appears to be a heartless and sociopathic drone who is incredibly savage and greatly enjoys ruthlessly murdering Worker Drones. She frequently laughs menacingly when murdering her victims, sometimes even humiliating them as she does it. Despite this, she is capable of expressing some empathy, as when N is distraught after an encounter with the AbsoluteSolver, V hides the fact that the chains holding her captive are broken. Rather than escaping and leaving N alone, she moves it back into place, continuing to keep him company. On top of that, she is shown to be somewhat affected by his sadness, implying that she does care for N, even if she doesn't always understand him.

While she initially wanted to kill all the Worker Drones during prom for her pleasure, she was taken aback and seemingly touched that she was voted prom queen as per Lizzy's request. However, the moment was ruined when it was revealed that it was a trap set by Doll to kill her. After being protected by Uzi and N and hearing the former talk about how they need to work together to solve the problem, she sides with them to fight against Doll.

Unlike N, however, V doesn't show remorse for her murderous actions after changing sides, as her response to seeing the various corpses in her room was a callous chuckle and sucking on a dismembered arm. Furthermore, her reaction to seeing the state of Doll's parents was that they "literally didn't even taste that good." The amount of disrespect she showed for the situation was enough to repulse Uzi and N. N even goes as far as to tell V that she sucks for the remark. She would even go as far as sucking on a piece of her kind, as she is seen consuming Disassembly Drone parts when they reach the entrance of Cabin Fever Labs in Dead End (which is filled with Disassembly Drone corpses).

From all indications, V is at least partially aware of the AbsoluteSolver's effect on the lives of herself, N, and J. She repeatedly and intentionally hides details from Uzi and N to protect the latter. When she recognized that Uzi was developing tendencies resembling Cyn's, she immediately attacked and tried to kill her, chiefly to keep her away from N.

V is honorable to an extent, as she only threatens to kill any Worker Drone if they ever step out of line or do anything callous. Additionally, despite not being on the best terms with Uzi, she takes the blame for the death of Uzi's classmates by blaming herself for the murders, claiming that she got hungry and ate them. Over time, she begins to express more concern and respect towards Uzi, as she carries her on her back after she passes out when she could have let her walk on her own. Later, when everyone gets to safety in the elevator while she deals with the Sentinels, V salutes Uzi, placing her trust in her to care and solidify her as a friend.

It is also implied but not confirmed that V still has some romantic feelings for N, as many of her actions are done to protect him, no matter what he thinks of her. She expressed this by planning to go to prom to kill Uzi after identifying her as an AbsoluteSolver host, despite knowing that N would likely hate her afterward.

Biography[]

Pre-series[]

V is a sad*stic Disassembly Drone who, in her past, was once a regular Worker Drone brought in by Tessa to repurpose her as a friend and maid at Elliott Manor, where she grew close to N, J and the AbsoluteSolver possessing Cyn. V was among the first of her fellow manor Workers to have been corrupted with Solver powers by the titular AI, soon helping it massacre a gala at the mansion. Afterward, V was rebuilt by the Solver to be a Disassembly Drone, having an altered personality and falsified memories. Together with clones of N and J, a copy of V was sent to Copper 9 to eliminate all Workers found, unknowingly for the Solver.

Season 1[]

PILOT[]

V makes her first appearance in a flashback with N, in which she is violently killing a Worker Drone. She laughs maniacally and states that she still feels nothing. After, N tries to start small-talk with her by commenting on the planet's toxic death storm, but V promptly snaps, "Oh god! Who are you?" before flying away. Back to the present, she arrives at the Disassembly Drone lair, spotting Uzi attempting to run away before stating "Yo! We got a worker out there I kinda want to practice balloon animal shapes with!". After saying this, V looks around the Spire and asks what happened, to which J replies that N must have tripped and went offline. After J rebooted N's systems, N hurriedly ran away to retrieve and destroy Uzi’s railgun. A flag sticks out from V's hand, reading "LITERALLY SO INSANELY SUSPICIOUS."

She reappears after N manages to get through the doors of the Worker Drones Bunker. She realizes that the ventilation shafts can take them right through the last door and flies into it to kill some Worker Drones. V is about to kill Thad when both N and Uzi arrive. A fight ensues between V and N while Uzi fights J. During the battle, N gets pinned down by V and sees that Uzi is about to get killed by J. He licks V's blade to disorient her, to which V expresses "Ew! What the hell?!" before N kicks her into the ground. V then gets tied up by N with her tail, and N takes her away with him as he leaves with Uzi back to the Landing Pod.

Heartbeat[]

V appears in N's dream (actually a flashback) where she and N are Worker Drone servants at a mansion. V bumps into N, and they then exchange a spark at their hands as both of them touch. V and N look nervously at each other before J suddenly kicks N, interrupting the interaction.

V is in the pod with Uzi, chained up and blowing bubbles. After Uzi shatters a mirror because of the AbsoluteSolver, V calls it "weird and concerning." V would later question Uzi's innocence when the latter wishes to kill all humans in an attempt to provoke Uzi. A fight almost ensues, but N quickly pulls Uzi away from V.

After the fight with the AbsoluteSolver, N returns to the pod feeling upset, during which V asks why she is being punished. As N remains silent, V feels sorry for him and adjusts her broken chains to make them look intact. Though annoyed, she remains in the pod to accompany N.

The Promening[]

V is in the pod with N and two human skeletons (one wearing a tuxedo and the other wearing a dress) that N brought as per V's request. V explains her plan to trick Uzi into letting both N and her into the prom so she can kill everyone there, but N refuses to let V go through with it. After N tells her about J's eldritch transformation and the dream he had about his past, V worriedly asks him to stop prying into those matters and says that if he lets her go to the prom, she will only kill what is necessary to survive. N still refuses to allow V to go along with him and states that they're too dangerous to be in contact with the workers. N then asks V if she is hiding anything and if he can help her; V responds by slicing N's head off, stating that she is doing this for the best of N. With her chain broken, she steals the dress from one of the skeletons and heads to the bunker to kill all the Worker Drones at the prom.

V arrives at the bunker then Lizzy and Doll let her inside. V flies through the ceiling and lands on the prom stage in her red dress, which shocks and scares many students there. V is introduced by Lizzy and is proclaimed the prom queen by default since the other contestants went missing (actually killed by Doll). Lizzy then tells her fellow students that V has changed and is no longer a threat. V then starts to walk forward to the microphone while talking about the gullible nature of the Worker Drones. She is about to go on a murderous rampage before realizing she is the prom queen. Upon realizing this, V decides to murder the students after the prom instead and walks up to the microphone. Suddenly, N and Uzi arrive through the roof to stop V from murdering the students. Lizzy decides to betray Doll and asks V to escape before Doll kills her. Doll suddenly uses her powers to pry the pipes from under the stage and force them through V's arms, pinning her in place.

Trapped, Doll forces V to remember the murder of Doll's parents (that V committed) and then stabs another pipe through her chest. V manages to free her right arm and begins shooting at Doll with her submachine gun hand. However, her attempt is futile, as her bullets are deflected by Doll. Doll then throws a cleaver at her, slicing V's arm off. She forces a fan blade off the roof and throws it at V, but N knocks it away before it can harm her. Uzi then tries to reason with Doll, stating that fighting won't get them anywhere. Doll is seemingly unaffected by these words and is only focused on killing V. Because Uzi and N are in the way, she decides to kill all three at once by throwing two other fan blades at them, but N pushes Uzi out of the way. This resulted in both him and V being dismembered.

Both N and V are retrieving their body parts as Uzi fights Doll. When N grabs a disembodied arm, V snatches it back with her mouth, claiming it is hers. Upon seeing this, Lizzy expresses her disgust and says V looks like garbage. V snaps and calls Lizzy a "frickin traitor." Lizzy responds by stating that V had been manipulating her and was planning to kill everyone during prom. N thanks Lizzy for confronting her, but she and V ask him to shut up. V manages to put her body back together and sneaks up behind Doll as she makes her last stand against N and Uzi. As Doll is preparing to attack the two, V shoots Doll in the head, seemingly killing her. Uzi voices her displeasure with Doll being shot since she wants to get some information out of her.

Upon entering Doll's home, they find numerous dismembered Worker Drone corpses scattered about. V is seen chewing and sucking on a dismembered arm, which Uzi removes from her mouth. While exploring the dining room, N finds the corpses of Doll's parents, and V comments that they "literally didn't even taste that good"; N tells V that she "sucks" in response. Doll then teleports into the room, pulling the bullet out of her head and firing it at Uzi, but Uzi stops the bullet mid-air with her awakened AbsoluteSolver abilities. When Doll realizes that Uzi also possesses the AbsoluteSolver, she pities Uzi and agrees to help her, provided she can find what she is searching for. She then teleports away right as V fires a missile at her.

Cabin Fever[]

Later, both N and V would keep the other students busy during a field trip, as their real mission was to have Uzi investigate and discover more about the AbsoluteSolver at Camp 98.7. V reveals that she is suspicious of Uzi because of her involvement with the AbsoluteSolver. She then warns Uzi to focus on her investigation rather than spying on the rest of the students, even going as far as threatening to kill her if she is to be seen near the group again. V also tells her that N would quickly move on from her death.

V and the students would again notice Uzi when N clumsily shouted for her to come out of hiding. Braidon, out of fear, accidentally shoots an arrow at Uzi. Luckily, she stops it mid-air with her AbsoluteSolver abilities. But, due to her overheating, she loses control of her powers, and the arrow mutates into a fleshy, sentient mass, much to V's horror. Uzi would later run off with V trying to chase her, but N gets in the way again and begins scolding her for not informing him about what was going on, and that Uzi was only a child like himself and V. N then told V to keep watch of the students and flies away to look for Uzi. But V, now frustrated, told them to do whatever they wanted and flew off to pursue and murder Uzi.

She later appears again, seemingly trying to stop a now out-of-control, monstrous Uzi from killing Lizzy. V adds that she came to kill Uzi, not to save Lizzy. V approaches Uzi, whom she now regards as "Cyn." Uzi whimpers and wishes to talk to N, but V wants to ensure she can never do that. An enraged Uzi ambushes and overpowers V, dismembering her left arm in the process. Just as Uzi is about to stab V to death with her Nanite Acid syringe, N appears and prevents her from doing so by tossing Uzi into the sky. He then criticizes V for her actions and flies off to have a comforting talk with Uzi, leaving V alone and disappointed.

When Uzi and N land, V prepares for her rematch against Uzi but notices that N has her under control. She eases up, but Lizzy reappears and expresses her disgust towards N and V. V warns her not to patronize her, but Lizzy calls her a "diva" and walks away. Uzi, N, and V later return to the bus with the remaining campers. The teacher asks about the other missing campers, to which V takes the blame for Uzi's killings by claiming that she ate them because she was hungry.

Home[]

The episode unfolds in V and N's memories of Elliott Manor. At the start of the episode, worker V is standing motionless with ERROR 606 and an 'X' repeatedly flashing on her visor as worker N reads a book titled "101 Dog Breeds" next to her. After N witnesses a few books fall from the shelves as he reads a part about Golden Retrievers, he decides to leave the room where V is standing. Later, when N comes in contact with Uzi (in the form of a crow), he makes his way toward the supposed "scary basem*nt." V is found standing above the hatch of the said basem*nt.

N gently pulls V aside but discovers that a key is needed to enter the basem*nt and that J has it. Right after, V giggles as N and Uzi see her showing a wide, sharp-teethed grin. N and Uzi then run to Tessa and J to obtain the key. However, V, now possessed by the Solver, follows them and fights with J and Tessa as both N and Uzi run back to the basem*nt. V escapes the fight and follows the two to the basem*nt. As Uzi hijacks a Solver camera after her crow form is killed, she notices V behind N. She quickly drags N into the basem*nt and locks themselves inside, preventing V from entering.

Cyn manages to take back control of her Eldritch sentience from Uzi and lets V into the basem*nt. She demands V grab a scalpel that Cyn would use to delete N's memories. V struggles to see the scalpel, having persistent difficulty picking it up as Cyn becomes more frustrated with her. N, however, calms Cyn down and hands V her glasses so that she can see better. She then grabs the scalpel with ease but becomes saddened. Seemingly broken free from the Solver's control, she repeats N's words about Golden Retrievers that he read to her earlier.

Touched, N tries to finish her sentence, but Cyn disarms V and pins her to the ceiling before insisting that she just deleted his OS. V quickly regains consciousness and screams N's name in dismay as Cyn is about to delete his memories once again. However, Uzi regains control of the Eldritch sentience right before N is "executed." She then releases V and she plummets to the ground coughing. N gets up from the chair to check on V. They smile at each other before eventually regaining their current memories. N recognizes Uzi and thanks her but V shouts in annoyance for her to get out of their head.

They return to their Disassembly Drone sentience. They look at each other before V turns her head away from N, blushing in embarrassment. She angrily stares at Uzi before switching her hand into a chainsaw. Later, V, N, and Uzi go outside, stumbling upon Tessa, J, and Doll, who are about to venture to the Cabin Fever Labs. They all look at each other before showing their equal confusion as the episode ends.

Dead End[]

After a short talk with Tessa, V and the others make their way through Cabin Fever Labs after Doll steals the Keybug. As they explore the place, V is captured alongside N, Uzi, and Tessa by Alice and Beau, where she is strapped down to a hospital bed and experimented on alongside Uzi. She is eventually freed by Beau in a last-second change of heart by the latter, as Sentinels break into the room and kill both him and Alice.

As she prepares to protect herself and Uzi, the Sentinels are suddenly assimilated into an organic mess by Uzi's AbsoluteSolver. Once they reunite with Tessa, V angrily berates her for not being able to keep the Sentinels under control like she said she could. Tessa admits that she has not been honest with her like how she was with N. V. stares at Tessa, her anger turning into concern. She is later seen on an elevated platform with her group, aiming her submachine gun at the red-eyed Sentinel.

As she drops down, she notices Doll lying on the ground, seemingly boot-looped, with the Keybug in her hand. Uzi comments on how convenient that was but V instead states that Doll has set up a trap. Uzi disregards her warning and pushes V away, using her AbsoluteSolver powers to retrieve the Keybug from a distance. N suddenly stops her, and he and V look at each other with worried faces. The three then notice Tessa with the Keybug in her hand, and they slowly approach her with V leading the way, arming herself with two submachine guns. When she sees N and Uzi holding hands, she expresses her disgust; in response, Uzi calls V weird.

Suddenly, the previously feigning Doll takes advantage of the situation to steal the Keybug while also releasing Sentinels to the location of the group. She places the Keybug on the reader and jumps down an elevator shaft; an elevator then drops down, cutting them off from Doll. As Tessa prepares to battle the Sentinels, V is seen crawling up the walls to the ceiling.

V manages to catch a bullet aimed at Tessa and fights the red-eyed Sentinel who fired it, using a pair of glasses to improve her vision. Tessa, Uzi, and N rush into the elevator, but as they do so, it begins to jolt and lurch as if about to fall. N worriedly asks V to enter the elevator quickly before it drops without her, but she is occupied with battling the red-eyed Sentinel. As she is about to kill the red-eyed Sentinel, she notices another one ahead of her. The Sentinel tampers with the elevator controls, which forces it back up. The same Sentinel flashes the boot-loop light at V; her glasses fall off when looking away and are destroyed by another advancing Sentinel.

Despite N's pleas to not give herself up because they need her, she slices the cables of the elevator to make it drop as more Sentinels surround her. She salutes Uzi, trusting that she can resolve this. The elevator cables snap as the Sentinels are about to attack, disconnecting V from everyone else. The elevator plummets towards the underground, and V's fate remains unknown.

Mass Destruction[]

When N encounters Cyn in the tunnels, it uses V's appearance to taunt him. She later reappears in N's flashback of him and the other Disassembly Drones slaughtering the human race.

Trivia[]

• V was first shown in the teaser for Murder Drones. She was later featured in the Disassembly Required OST music video.
• She serves as the mascot of Murder Drones, as she was featured in the first official teaser trailer, making her the first character to be revealed to the public.
• Nola Klop, the voice actor for V, worked with Michael Kovach, the voice actor of N, in the horror game Poppy Playtime.
• In her concept art, V had white hair, a sideways halo, a more slender body, and no mouth. Her overall appearance resembled that of an angel.
• V started the series as an antagonist, but her status as a protagonist was shown off in promotional material such as merchandise. After some foreshadowing in "Heartbeat" (where her concern for N is shown), V eventually joins forces with N and Uzi (to a degree) in "The Promening".
  • It's worth noting that while N and J's personalities mostly remained the same when they were turned from Worker Drones to Disassembly Drones, V's personality changed from being a shy and kind girl to a sinister and psychopathic individual. This may be a front to protect N from the truth.
    • If this is true, V might be the only member of her squadron who partially retained memories of her past. Notably, during "The Promening" V becomes visibly concerned then tries to convince N after he mentioned they "maybe grew up in a haunted mansion", implying she indeed remembers the events.
    • This personality slowly dissipated after she got her memories back as she showed a kinder personality (as seen when she sacrificed herself so the rest of the team could go before they got attacked).
