JCJenson ran experiments on Drones in the Cabin Fever Labs. The Drones sent here were considered "failures" or malfunctioning and therefore couldn't be sold in JCJenson's "Personal Servant Drone" line. These experiments varied, from simply trying to "improve" or fix bugs for future lines, to just... brutal torment as they were never meant to be used publically again (like giving them organic innards and bones. for fun!). JCJenson basically gave the Cabin Fever workers free reign to do whatever they wanted to the Drones that failed to make the cut, viewing the Drones as not being good enough for simple scrapping.
Yeva, Nori, and Alice were "favorite" subjects. This "favoritism" caused the trio to become incredibly clingy and co-dependent on each other. They were frequently used as motivation to get the others back in line, which is the only reason they weren't kept away from each other.
The experiments lasted years, some Drones were put down, new ones came, and the trio kept latching onto each other. They were protective of each other, spending what little free time they had together.
One experiment went haywire, causing a chain reaction of explosions which killed numerous Humans and Drones alike. Yeva & Nori were seperated from Alice, believing she was killed in the explosion, though never forgot about her as the years went on. Alice, meanwhile, was told Yeva and Nori died, mainly in a attempt to get her to come back to the Humans. She instead snapped and killed them.
Years later, Tessa brought her friend group down into the ruins, thinking it was abandoned, only for Uzi and Doll to get lost and eventually found by Beau, who brought them to Alice like he usually did when coming across something living. Alice nearly attacked them, but realized how familiar they look, especially noticing the numbers on their chokers. It also helped that she was wearing Yeva and Nori's IDs, which was pointed out in confusion by Uzi.
After a quick breakdown, Uzi and Doll, alongside Beau and the friends, reunited Yeva, Nori, and Alice, bringing her out of the ruins and into the family, where she stays to this day.
YEVA
FAMILY: Nori & Alice (Wives), Doll & Emily (Daughters), Uzi (Adoptive Daughter), Beau (Adoptive Son)
FRIENDS: Natalie, Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
The most protective of the trio, despite her never saying a word. She tended to defend with fighting rather than arguing, which tended to get her experimented on as a result. After one experiment blew out half of her visor, she was upgraded with a advanced visor that failed in testing due to it randomly switching vision types without the user's input.
NORI
FAMILY: Alice & Yeva (Wives), Uzi & Emily (Daughters), Doll (Adoptive Daughter), Beau (Adoptive Son), Khan (Ex-Husband)
FRIENDS: Natalie, Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
The one who kept trying to keep Yeva and Alice's spirits up with jokes and other silly sheningans, but it was clear she was hiding a lot and going through it plenty. Plus, being peppy in this place is a punishment offense. Nori was given a malfunctioning core as punishment at one point, meant to give the user telekinetic powers to make clean-up easier. These cores were scrapped in fear that the Drones would instead use them to revolt. Nori's telekinesis wavers in strength, and sometimes just cuts out, making her afraid of using it on others despite how fun it is. After she found the hidden Drone society, she got together with Khan and had Uzi. When her body was doused with nanite acid on accident, Khan attempted to "put her out of her misery" via a wrench, which resulted in her divorcing him and taking Uzi. She lived with Yeva following this, Yeva having to remove the melted away casing and organs / innards, and the two eventually got together and raised Uzi and Doll as sisters.
ALICE
FAMILY: Yeva & Nori (Wives), Beau (Son), Emily (Daughter), Uzi & Doll (Adoptive Daughters)
FRIENDS: Natalie, Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
At the Labs, she was super shy and nervous, easily manipulated and able to be bent into the will of the Humans without much effort. She was often found clinging to either Nori or Yeva. Alice was given a long, prehensile tail, which was used by Servants to reach high places until a recall happened after one Drone strangled their owner with it. The Lab Workers didn't think Alice had it in her to replicate the incident, so it wasn't much worry to them. She snaps after the Lab explodes and she's told Yeva and Nori died, killing the Workers trying to get her to come with them and retreating further into the ruins. She would capture Humans and Drones trapped within the Labs, experimenting on them and modifying herself to have sharp teeth, claws, and is just generally more aggressive and feral, a complete turn from how she was before. She's also wrapped a knife on her tail. She's somewhat jumpy at the Village, finding it hard to lower her defenses for awhile. When she's alone with Nori and Yeva, she pratically melts like a little puppy.
UZI
FAMILY: Nori (Mother), Yeva & Alice (Adoptive Mothers), Doll (Adoptive Sister), Beau (Adoptive Brother), Emily (Sister), Khan (Biological Father, Divorced + Left)
FRIENDS: Natalie (Girlfriend), Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad (Boyfriend), Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
Drone who prefers staying to herself and her friends. Frequent victim of bullying (though this has lessened over the years due to Doll and Natalie), she's viewed as "cringe" and therefore most Drones don't want to socialize with her.
DOLL
FAMILY: Yeva (Mother), Nori & Alice (Adoptive Mothers), Uzi (Adoptive Sister), Beau (Adoptive Brother), Emily (Sister)
FRIENDS: Natalie, Vanessa, Lizzy (Girlfriend), Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
A quiet but violent Drone, bullied alongside her sister but deals with it in... her own way. Would occasionally come home smothered in oil as a result. Doll spends her time with her friends, usually Lizzy and Thad. One science lab incident left her visor broken, reminding Yeva of the incident that blew out her own visor years before.
FAMILY: Alice (Mother), Yeva & Nori (Adoptive Mothers), Doll & Uzi (Adoptive Sisters), Emily (Sister)
FRIENDS: Natalie, Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
A Drone created by Alice in a attempt to make a companion while trapped in the ruins. Due to being built by someone who doesn't really know how baby building works, Beau is in his pillbaby form long after he reaches 4. He's got limbs, but they're more... spidery. When Alice and Beau are brought to the village, he's finally upgraded to a proper Drone body. He's quite polite despite the circumsances.
FAMILY: Alice & Yeva & Nori (Mothers), Doll & Uzi (Sisters), Beau (Brother)
FRIENDS: Natalie, Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
A somewhat serious, mostly silly little Drone that has a chewing habit and likes climbing on things. She's a bit shy and tends to follow her siblings around to the point where there have been numerous occasions where she's accidentally been brought to school by them. Sometimes super quiet, sometimes super loud. Emily is a bit of a prankster and a huge lover of animals, often rambling to others about them.
NATALIE
FAMILY: Tessa & Cyn (Adoptive Sisters)
FRIENDS: Uzi (Girlfriend), Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad (Boyfriend), Jennifer (?)
Peppy, cheerful, happy-go-lucky, sweet. All of this and more! Just... don't insult or bully her friends, especially her partners. She WILL kill you over it. Despite her cheerful demenor, Natalie is quite violent, likely as a result of Tessa imprinting her own violent and morbid tendencies onto Natalie while building her. She's made fun of quite a lot for being trans or hanging out with "the cringe crew," but she tends to deal with this in the same way Doll does. She was the third Drone Tessa built.
JENNIFER / "JENNY"
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Natalie & Vanessa & Lizzy & Thad & Cyn (?) Tessa
Jenny doesn't really consider many her friend, but Tessa has roped her into the Cringe Crew regardless so here she is. She was the first built by Tessa, and had to help Tessa keep Vanny, Natalie, and Cyn confined in her room as they would often try and sneak out. Natalie was especially prone to this as she was rather kept out of the loop on Humans thoughts regarding Drones.
VANESSA / "VANNY"
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Natalie, Doll, Uzi, Lizzy (Girlfriend), Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
Shy and reclusive, the second Drone built by Tessa. While she did sneak out somewhat often while at the Manor, it was less out of curiousity or malice, and more just trying to drag Natalie and Cyn back in the room before they got caught. She loves to read and can get somewhat rambley about whatever she's reading at the moment.
THAD
FAMILY: Parents
FRIENDS: Natalie & Uzi (Girlfriends), Vanessa, Lizzy, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
Peppy and loves sports. Incredibly strong and uses this power to carry about his small girlfriends. He's frequently seen playing football with whoever he comes across, and is on the school team (they just kind of play against themselves as they are the only village around).
LIZZY
FAMILY: The Teacher & Father
FRIENDS: Natalie, Vanessa & Doll (Girlfriends), Uzi, Thad, Tessa, Cyn, Jennifer (?)
Preppy but defensive of her cringe friends. "Only I am allowed to make fun of them" type of friendship. Cheer captain who got Doll and Vanny to join in as well.
CYN
FAMILY: Tessa & Natalie (Adoptive Sisters)
FRIENDS: Uzi, Doll, Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad, Jennifer (?)
The fifth Drone built by Tessa, Cyn is considerbly more "broken" than the others, for a unknown reason. She tends to follow others around and likes climbing on tables and chairs.
TESSA
FAMILY: James & Louisa Elliott (Parents), Natalie & Cyn (Adoptive Sisters)
FRIENDS: Uzi, Doll, Vanessa, Lizzy, Thad, Jennifer
Formally human, Tessa's final Drone she built was of herself, transferring herself into it once completed after getting the idea to grab her friends and get out of the Manor. She doesn't like bringing up the fact she's human, and loves science classes and experimenting on things. Usually akin to more graverobbing and whatever a equalvent to taking apart and putting a pen back together is. She's the one who had the idea to bring the others to the ruins of Cabin Fever Labs which eventually led them to finding Alice and Beau, as she is the only one who is aware of the Labs at that point. Besides maybe Jenny.
