AU inspired by the TV Show, Chuck.
Drones were likely built years ago by JCJenson, which is more like... the Government here. Elliotts have been in charge for generations, with the most recent being James and Louisa.
Before coming to the town they live in now, Yeva, Alice, and Nori worked for the Government, mainly research jobs. Near the end of their time there, they were assigned to the Solver Program, a dangerous and unstable telekinetic power James and Louisa were creating, testing it on Drones to make sure it was safe for them to use. The trio's jobs were to check on the test subjects, reporting changes or even death. Not long before the trio finally left, they learned about the Disassembly Drones, via Blueprints shown to them by co-workers. By the time they're finishing being built, there had been many design changes from the Blueprints shown, meaning Yeva, Nori, and Alice wouldn't recongize them, though felt suspicious. These Disassembly Drones were one of the main contributers to the trio quitting, finding Government Kill Bots to be rather horrible, wanting no part of it.
Between the trio quitting and Uzi & Doll being built, Alice left town to live out in the nearby woods, not really liking socializing. Meanwhile, Nori met Khan, and Yeva met her partner, soon having kids that they raised alongside each other, Uzi and Doll (Tessa was also born a few years later). By the time they start school, the Disassembly Drones have finished the construction and programming stage, entering Beta Testing. Also, Nori divorces Khan and takes Uzi.
When Uzi and the others are in High School, Uzi gets a part-time job at a Hot Topic, and a unknown entity sends Nori, Yeva, and Alice the Solver Program in a self-deleting-upon-opening email. Uzi and Doll opened the email before their moms could, infecting themselves with the Solver Program. Uzi usually has a okayish grip on her Program, though Doll's first go at it was a little... explodey, blowing up half of her face, which she just waves away as a bad skateboarding incident when asked by her parents.
Tessa contacts and informs them that they need to be extracted as they are the only Drones with the Solver Program, the rest of the test subjects died, and the only computer housing the Solver exploded after it was emailed to Yeva, Nori, and Alice. Of course, Uzi and Doll wouldn't go willingly, and both threatened exploding everything if Tessa tried taking them away from their homes, so she reluctantly agreed.
However, since Uzi and Doll were the only ones with the Solver Program, something super important to Louisa and James, and it being dangerous on its own, Tessa sent N, V, and J, who were fully operable for a few years now. These three were usually sent out in super special circumstances, as there are only three of them, due to difficulties in manfacturing them, especially the length of time and the fact the most efficent way to keep them in tip-top shape is feeding them oil. They have high strength, can heal from almost any injury, and top endurace, being able to survive super dangerous situations a regular Drone would perish from, and having constant access to many different weapons.
As they are the only Disassembly Drones, N, V, and J do have to be called out every now and again, but since they're only used in special circumstances, it isn't that often an occurance.
UZI
FAMILY: Nori (Mother), Sarah (Adoptive Parent), Khan (Biological Father, Divorced + Left)
FRIENDS: N (Crush), V, Doll, Alice, Thad
Solver Infected Drone. Uzi gets them both N and V as she works in a mall, and needs the extra protection since she's out in public alot, though once Alice is located, V is reassigned to her. Has to be careful when inviting N over, since there's risk of Nori recongizing him, though this would be easier if the already decided cover was anything but boyfriend / girlfriend. Uzi does grow to realize she does actually love him, finding herself weird for it since N's a Government sent killbot. Uzi works at a Hot Topic and has a decent control on her Solver.
SERIAL DESIGNATION N / "NATHAN"
FAMILY: Tessa & Cyn (Adoptive Sisters)
FRIENDS: Uzi (Crush), V, Doll, Alice, Thad
Uzi's Handler. N is probably the most blunt about the killing nature of the Disassemblers, saying rather frightening things while keeping his peppy tone. It takes N awhile to realize Uzi has a crush on him, as the way he's programmed makes him a bit blind to those kind of things... and also because he keeps mistaking her weird behavior as being Solver related. N will often carry Uzi around in his tail if they need to get somewhere fast, and likes bringing Uzi on night time flights. The two often have lunch breaks together, even though N can't eat the batteries provided, though he does use a water bottle filled with oil. N works at a gaming store across the "hall" from Uzi.
SERIAL DESIGNATION J / "JENNIFER"
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Tessa
Doll's Handler. As Doll doesn't go out into public much, she only gets J, despite being the only Solver Drone to blow herself up. Finds the situation annoying, often having to get Doll to stop her experiments on getting the Solver out herself. J is very dedicated to her job, and thus has eaten Drones she's assigned to way less than N and V, unless instructed to. Never really gets attached to any of the Drones, and her protectiveness of Doll is really just about the Solver Doll houses.
SERIAL DESIGNATION V / "VANESSA"
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: N, Uzi, Doll, Alice, Tessa, Lizzy (Crush)
Alice's Handler, but starts out assigned to Uzi. V was initially working at the mall's food court as cover, though after being reassigned to Alice, she quits and moves out of her and N's house (which was right next door to Uzi's), as it would be easier watching Alice if she moved in with her. Alice never really leaves the house, after all, though she does keep trying to sneak out to contact Yeva and Nori until she learns they don't have the Solver. V's patience is very much wearing down having to watch Alice. Initally refers to Uzi as just "Solver" as a way to make sure she won't get attached like N quickly did, though she slips up a few times, and just drops it by the time Doll and Alice learn that Uzi also has the Solver.
THAD
FAMILY: Parents
FRIENDS: Uzi, N (Crush), Lizzy, Doll
Uzi's close friend. He frequently would visit Uzi at her work to try and make it less boring to her. Thad very quickly started crushing on N, and Uzi, who has absolutely picked up on this, is unsure if she should tell him the truth since N doesn't notice anything's up... again. Thad likes playing sports with his friends, sometimes dragging Uzi into it somehow, and is rather impressed on how strong and fast N is when they play together, due to not being aware until later on that he isn't a weird Worker Drone.
DOLL
FAMILY: Yeva & Father
FRIENDS: Lizzy (Girlfriend), Uzi, N, Thad, Alice
Solver Infected Drone. Doll does not trust the Government (for good reason, considering James wants the Solver Drones dead once the new computer is done, not that she knows), and is trying to get the Solver out of her on her own time, despite J repeatedly telling her to stop and that it won't work. Doll is usually at her own house or Lizzy's, which led to her only getting one Handler despite blowing up her face. Her experiments to remove the Solver don't go much better, as she often has to reattach her limbs or lay down for a few moments because she's too dizzy to walk.
LIZZY
FAMILY: The Teacher & Father
FRIENDS: Doll (Girlfriend), Uzi, N, Thad, V
Doll's close friend, Lizzy's been aware of Doll's side of the situation ever since she walked in on the aftermath of Doll's accidental Solver usage. She had to drag her to the hospital as Doll was more concerned about emails /lh. Lizzy likes teasing J, knowing why she's actually here, yet calling her by her cover name of "Jennifer" anyway. Lizzy will sometimes ask Doll to grab stuff for her if she's too busy scrolling on her phone, and will sometimes make J suffer even more by just making out with Doll while J's watching the two.
CYN
FAMILY: Tessa & N (Adoptive Younger Siblings)
FRIENDS: V, J
Cyn basically had to raise Tessa, as she would frequently be put in her care by the Elliotts refusing to leave her at home with a babysitter since they didn't want to pay anyone. This caused Tessa to get into many dangerous situations, as she had a habit of wandering into the wrong parts of the building as soon as she learned to crawl. Years later, Cyn still stays around Tessa, usually putting in her own input when Tessa contacts a Drone.
TESSA ELLIOTT
FAMILY: James (Deceased) & Louisa Elliott (Parents), N & Cyn (Adoptive Siblings)
FRIENDS: V, J
Tessa is in charge of the Disassembly Drones and Solver Program, for whatever reason, running the experiments despite not really wanting to kill the Drones. She lives more at the Government Building that she does at home, even having a bed there, and has built a lot of the Drones running around (obviously not Cyn, though). She also helped build and program N, V, and J, gaining a lot of skill from a young age. Tessa feels awful about how James wants the Solver Drones dead when the new computer is finished, since unlike other missions where the Disassemblers are deployed, they didn't bond with the Drones they would kill and therefore didn't care about it. Quickly acting without actually thinking, Tessa manages to infect the Solver Computer with a virus, blowing it up the next time it was booted up... again. This had the unintended side effect of taking James out with it, but she's quickly realized it doesn't bother her all that much.
ALICE AND BEAU
FAMILY: Alice is Beau's mother
FRIENDS: Uzi, Doll, N, V, Nori, Yeva
Solver Infected Drone. Alice is a lot more feral than Tessa's records say she was, having moved out prior to Doll and Uzi being built, meaning she's never met them and was pretty giddy finding out they were Yeva and Nori's kids. Alice lives alone in the woods, at least, until she adopts the abandoned Beau, and V gets reassigned to her. She's got knowledge on the Solver, but since it was in a super early stage when she quit, the knowledge isn't really that useful.
NORI
FAMILY: Sarah (Partner), Uzi (Daughter), Khan (Ex-Husband)
FRIENDS: Yeva, Alice, N, V(?)
Keeps nearly recongizing N and V, Nori is a excitable and peppy Drone who divorced Khan a while ago but only recently got with her current partner, Sarah.
SARAH
FAMILY: Nori (Girlfriend), Uzi (Adoptive Daughter)
FRIENDS: Yeva, Alice, N, V
Gulliable. And a clothing thief. It keeps stealing Nori's clothing. Also, it regularly goes to Hot Topic but failed to process Uzi worked there (because its stupid /lh). Finds nothing out of the ordinary with N, V, or J.
YEVA
FAMILY: Husband, Doll (Daughter)
FRIENDS: Nori, Alice, J(?)
One of the Drones that worked on the Solver Program. Quiet and keeps getting jumpscared by Alice.
