Murder Drones OC Template Guide: 6 Fields + 10 Ideas

TL;DR: A Murder Drones OC template is 6 fields — type, eye color, serial designation, outfit, weapon, and backstory hook. Fill all six and you have a usable original character. This guide gives you the template, 10 ready-made concept ideas, and a free AI tool that turns the filled template into art in under a minute.

You want to make a Murder Drones OC, but you sit down to write and immediately freeze. What should the eye color be? Does it need a serial designation? What's a "good enough" backstory? Without a template, you end up either copying canon details or stalling on an empty page.

This guide gives you a 6-field Murder Drones OC template that works as a solid Murder Drones OC base for any drone class — worker, disassembly, or solver-touched. Fill it in once and you'll have everything you need to make your own Murder Drones character, whether for fanfic, RP, or AI art. There's also a list of 10 ready-made concept ideas at the bottom if you want to skip the blank-page step entirely.

The Murder Drones OC Template at a Glance

Field	What goes here	Example
1. Drone Type	Worker, Disassembly, or Solver-touched hybrid	Worker
2. Eye / Face	X-pupil color + face display quirk	Yellow X, screen flickers when nervous
3. Serial Designation	Letter + 3-digit code (workers) or single call sign (disassembly)	W-417
4. Outfit & Accessory	Era-appropriate clothing + one signature item	Patched orange jumpsuit, lanyard with employee ID
5. Weapon / Tool	What they reach for under stress	Maintenance multi-tool
6. Backstory Hook	One-sentence emotional anchor	Lost her sibling in the JCJenson evacuation

That's the whole Murder Drones character base. Six fields. Let's go through each one in detail so you know what choices actually carry weight in the fandom.

The 6-Field Murder Drones OC Template

Field 1 — Drone Type

The single biggest decision in any Murder Drones OC template. Each class comes with built-in visual cues and story stakes:

• Worker drone — vintage humanoid, sympathetic vibe, slice-of-life potential
• Disassembly drone — predator chassis, combat scenes, "main cast" energy
• Solver-touched hybrid — unstable form, body horror, maximum narrative weight

Field 2 — Eye / Face Display

Every drone communicates through their screen face. Two sub-choices:

• Default pupil shape and color — workers tend to yellow X-pupils, disassembly are sharper yellow X with predator slits, solver-touched are red and unstable
• One face quirk — a default emoji (😴 / 😡), a glitch pattern, an emotion the screen "leaks" against the drone's will

This is the cheapest detail you can add and the one that does the most for character voice.

Field 3 — Serial Designation

Workers and disassembly drones have different naming patterns:

• Worker serial format — letter prefix + 3 digits (like W-417, P-208, M-031). Letter often hints at role: W = worker, P = pilot, M = maintenance, S = scout.
• Disassembly call sign — single letter, sometimes a short call name (N, V, J, M, Tessa). Picked or assigned, often with attitude attached.
• Solver-touched — keep the original drone's designation but mark it broken (W-417/null, J//corrupted) to show the rewrite.

Field 4 — Outfit & Accessory

Murder Drones art lives on retro industrial aesthetics. Pick clothes that would fit a 1990s mining colony catalog:

• Workers — jumpsuits, lab coats, school uniforms, hoodies, patched winter gear. Soft palettes — beige, dusty pink, olive, faded denim.
• Disassembly — black-and-yellow uniform top, leather-look outerwear, knee-high mechanical boots, optional cape or scarf for drama. (This is the classic disassembly drone OC base look — alter the silhouette but keep the palette.)
• Solver-touched — the original outfit but damaged — torn, melted, partially regrown with glitch shards.

Pick one signature accessory that makes the OC instantly recognizable in fan art: a lanyard, a scarf, a single broken claw, a music player, a battered toolbelt. This is the visual hook your OC will be remembered by.

Field 5 — Weapon or Tool

What does your OC reach for under stress? This double-functions as both visual and personality:

• Workers — improvised gear: wrench, signal flare, maintenance taser, stolen disassembly claw they can't quite use
• Disassembly — claws (default), rail-spear, dual gauntlets, a tool the OC modified themselves
• Solver-touched — the Solver itself. Reality-warping at a cost.

Field 6 — Backstory Hook

One sentence, not five paragraphs. The hook is the emotional anchor that makes everything else readable.

Good hook patterns:

• "Lost [someone/something] in [event] and still hasn't accepted it"
• "Was reassigned right before [the disaster] and now blames themselves"
• "Watched [event] happen and remembers every second"
• "Used to be friends with [a canon character class] before things went wrong"

That's it. Six fields. Now let's see them filled.

10 Murder Drones OC Concept Ideas to Steal

Stuck on the blank page? These 10 Murder Drones OC ideas examples are pre-filled templates — copy any one and tweak the details. Each works as a paste-ready prompt for the AI Murder Drones OC maker.

1. The Bunker Cook — Worker, W-204, soft pink X-pupils, patched apron over a uniform, ladle. Backstory: kept feeding workers as the colony collapsed and refuses to leave the kitchen even now.
2. The Glitched Pilot — Solver-touched former worker P-012, red glitch eyes, fragments of pilot jacket and helmet, no weapon. Backstory: was mid-flight when the Solver caught her — the cockpit is still up there.
3. The Quiet Hunter — Disassembly, call sign "K," yellow X with a closed-eye default, sleek black jacket, twin curved claws. Backstory: killed her own teammates and isn't sure why.
4. The Repair Drone — Worker M-031, warm amber eyes, oil-stained jumpsuit, multi-tool belt. Backstory: rebuilds dead workers' chassis as memorial sculptures.
5. The Defective Hunter — Disassembly "Bell," cracked X-pupils that flicker, classic uniform with mismatched gloves, broken rail-spear. Backstory: a hunt went wrong, her targeting subroutine never quite recovered.
6. The Solver Cultist — Solver-touched former disassembly "Vex," red eyes always wide, ceremonial dark cloak over chassis, Solver-blade. Backstory: believes the Solver chose her for something specific.
7. The Scout Twins — Two worker OCs S-118 and S-119, identical pale yellow eyes, matching scout uniforms with different scarves, signal flares. Backstory: separated during the evacuation, only one made it underground.
8. The Rogue Disassembly — Disassembly "Mara," yellow X dulled to amber, civilian-looking jacket, hidden claws. Backstory: defected after meeting a worker family she couldn't kill.
9. The Wandering Witness — Worker W-077, ash-colored eyes, hooded coat over remains of a uniform, camera. Backstory: documents every ruined colony she finds.
10. The Hybrid Child — Worker-shape with disassembly wing nubs, mixed yellow-and-faint-red eyes, simple smock, no weapon. Backstory: came back online after JCJenson's "termination" with both codebases running.

5 Tips for Making Your Custom Character Feel Canon-Adjacent

Filling the template gets you a working OC. These five tips push the design from "OK" into "looks like it belongs in the show."

1. Use a 3-color limit. Murder Drones character art almost always lives on 3 colors max — main body, accent (eye + signature item), and shadow. Adding a fourth muddies the silhouette.
2. Pick a default screen expression. Even a closed-eye 😴 default beats a generic blank face. Your OC's idle mood is half their personality.
3. Anchor them to one location. "She's based out of Bunker JCJenson sub-floor 3" instantly makes the OC feel canon-adjacent.
4. Give them one technical limitation. Cracked subroutine, missing memory chunk, slow boot-up, broken claw — limitations are character.
5. Write one line of dialogue. The way your OC speaks reveals more than three paragraphs of backstory. One sentence is enough to lock the voice.

Murder Drones OC Maker: AI Tool vs Picrew vs Drawing From Scratch

If you've searched Picrew for a Murder Drones OC maker, you've probably hit two walls: limited fan-made tools, and locked-down customization. Here's how the three main paths compare:

Option	Speed	Customization	Output Quality	Best For
Picrew Murder Drones makers	Fast (no signup)	Whatever the artist included, often basic	Picrew flat style only	Quick avatars, simple memes
AI Murder Drones OC maker	Fast (under 1 min)	Anything you can describe in words	Full-body, chibi, 3D — your choice	Fanfic art, RP cards, sharable concepts
Drawing from scratch	Slow (hours-days)	Total control	Whatever you can draw	Portfolio art, commissions

The AI route is the strongest pick if you want a custom Murder Drones character that fits a specific filled template — Picrew can't match a six-field template you wrote yourself, and drawing from scratch isn't realistic for most fans on a phone.

The Bottom Line

A Murder Drones OC template isn't a list of fields to dutifully fill — it's a constraint that protects you from blank-page paralysis. Six fields, one-line answers, and you have a character ready to live in fanfic, in art, or in roleplay.

If you got stuck anywhere in the template, just steal one of the 10 ideas above and modify it. Plagiarism doesn't exist for OC concepts; it's how the fandom keeps growing.

When you're ready to see your OC, the fastest path is to paste your filled template into the aividmaker Murder Drones OC maker, pick a style (full body, chibi, anime, 3D), and let the AI render the first version. Save the ones you like in My Creations to iterate later.

Making OCs for other fandoms too? The Sonic OC Maker and the Anime OC Maker use the same template approach.
