Murder Drones OC Type Guide: Worker vs Disassembly vs Solver
TL;DR: Murder Drones OCs come in 3 types — worker (warm, sympathetic), disassembly (predator, snark), and solver-touched (horror, freedom). This guide breaks down looks, roles, and personality for each class, with a free AI generator to bring yours to life in under a minute.
You've binged Murder Drones, fallen in love with the fandom, and now you want to make your own original character. Then you hit the first big decision: should your drone OC be a worker drone, a disassembly drone, or something Absolute Solver-touched? Each Murder Drones OC type has its own look, story role, and personality range — and picking the right one shapes everything else about your character.
This guide breaks down the three core Murder Drones OC types side by side, with the kind of design details you actually need before you start generating art.
Quick Comparison: The 3 Murder Drones OC Types
| Type | Original Purpose | Look | Eye / Face | Personality Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Worker Drone | Built by humans to maintain off-world colonies | Smaller, humanoid, vintage uniform vibe | Yellow X-pupils or full screen-face expression | Anxious, loyal, curious, hopeful |
| Disassembly Drone | Sent by JCJenson to wipe out rogue worker drones | Taller predator class, claws, transformable wings | Bright yellow X-pupils, sharp grin | Cocky, lethal, sarcastic, secretly soft |
| Absolute Solver Hybrid | Drones rewritten by the Solver code, no longer either class | Unstable mix — humanoid frame with disassembly traits and red glitch effects | Red / shifting glitch-red | Tormented, divided, powerful, unstable |
Now let's dig into each Murder Drones OC class with the design cues you'll want to lock in before generating.
Worker Drones: The Vintage Maintenance Class
Worker drones were the original drone line — built by humans for colonization tasks like mining, maintenance, schoolwork, and infrastructure. Their design language is deliberately retro: stocky humanoid frames, screen-displayed faces, soft color palettes, and clothing that looks like it came from a 1990s industrial uniform catalog. Yellow X-pupils are the iconic worker eye, but many workers show emotion through full-screen face displays instead.
A worker drone OC works best if you want a character who feels grounded, sympathetic, and pulled into events bigger than they are. Workers are the everyday people of the Murder Drones universe — bakery clerks, mechanics, schoolteachers, scouts — which gives you huge room for slice-of-life stories or quiet romance angles before the apocalyptic chaos hits.
Good worker drone OC traits to design around:
- A specific colony job (Scout team? Lab assistant? Pilot? Bunker tech?)
- A signature outfit color and a personal accessory (jacket, scarf, tool belt, lanyard)
- One emotional anchor: who or what they're trying to protect
- A screen-face quirk (a default emoji, a glitch, a recurring expression)
If you want to build one fast, just describe their colony job, eye expression, and personality in a single sentence — the dedicated worker drone OC maker on aividmaker handles the rest.
Disassembly Drones: The Predator Class
Disassembly drones are the show's predator class — manufactured by JCJenson and dropped on Copper-9 to hunt rogue workers. Their design is built around lethality and presence: taller and slimmer than workers, with clawed hands, transformable wings, bright yellow X-pupils, and a chassis that reads as both robotic and almost vampiric. The show's main cast — N, V, and J — are all disassembly drones, which is why this Murder Drones OC class is the most recognizable to fans.
A disassembly drone OC is for you if you want a character with combat presence, snark, and an inner conflict between programming and personality. The most interesting disassembly OCs aren't pure killers — they're drones quietly questioning what they were built to do, the way the main cast does. Lean into that tension.
Good disassembly drone OC traits to design around:
- A unit name with a single letter or short call sign (like N, V, J, or M)
- A weapon preference (claws? rail-spear? something improvised from worker tech?)
- A flaw that humanizes them — bad memory, mercy streak, attachment issue
- A pre-Copper-9 backstory (where did they hunt before this colony?)
Disassembly drones are also the easiest to render in full-body OC art because of the dramatic silhouette. If you want a full-body design with combat poses and wing details, use the disassembly drone OC maker on aividmaker and add "full body, dynamic pose, wings extended" to your prompt.
Absolute Solver Hybrids: The Glitch-Touched Class
The Absolute Solver is the show's central mystery — an unknowable, reality-warping force that infects drones and rewrites them from the inside. A solver-aware or solver-touched OC sits in the most flexible (and most popular) creative space in the Murder Drones fandom: not bound by either worker or disassembly anatomy, free to look unstable, glitching, partially transformed, or fully corrupted.
A Murder Drones absolute solver OC is the right call if you want narrative weight, body-horror potential, or a character whose visual design itself tells a story of loss and change. The Solver isn't a personality — it's a condition. That gives you space to write the host as deeply complex while letting the design carry the horror.
Good Solver-touched OC traits to design around:
- The base drone type they were before infection (worker or disassembly?)
- Visible glitch artifacts — red glow, broken polygons, second mouth, multiple eyes, missing chunks
- A moment of corruption — the inciting incident in their backstory
- How conscious they still are (fully aware? slipping? fully consumed?)
The Murder Drones OC maker supports solver-style generation out of the box — just add words like "absolute solver, red glitch eyes, unstable form" to your prompt and you'll get a usable concept on the first try.

5 Quick Tips for Designing Any Murder Drones OC
Whether your OC is a worker, disassembly, or solver hybrid, these design choices keep them rooted in the Murder Drones aesthetic.
- Pick one strong color. Murder Drones art lives on tight palettes — yellow/black for disassembly, soft pastels for workers, red/black for solver. Don't dilute with three accent colors.
- Give them a screen expression default. Every drone communicates through their screen face. What's your OC's idle mood — tired emoji, half-closed glare, static glitch?
- Design their silhouette before the details. If a fan sees only the silhouette, can they tell which drone class it is? That's the test.
- Pick a fight stance, not a "neutral pose." Murder Drones art almost never poses characters standing still. Your OC should have attitude even in their reference image.
- Anchor them to one location. Bunker JCJenson? Outpost-3 colony? The crater? Tying your OC to a known spot instantly makes them feel canon-adjacent.
Which Murder Drones OC Type Should You Make?
- Pick a worker drone if your OC story is about everyday life, hidden trauma, or the human side of the apocalypse.
- Pick a disassembly drone if you want combat presence, sass, and the most "show-accurate cast" feel.
- Pick a solver-touched OC if you want maximum creative freedom and the heaviest narrative weight.
Honestly, fans also love hybrid origin stories — a worker drone slowly being consumed by the Solver, or a disassembly drone learning empathy from a worker friend. Some of the most-shared OC concepts in the fandom blur the lines. Don't feel locked into one class.

The Bottom Line
Picking your Murder Drones OC type is the single biggest decision in drone OC design — it shapes look, role, voice, and story arc. Workers carry warmth and stakes. Disassembly drones carry presence and combat energy. Solver hybrids carry horror and creative freedom. None is "better"; they're just different doors into the Murder Drones universe.
Once you've picked, the fastest way to bring your drone to life is to describe it in plain English and let AI render it. The aividmaker Murder Drones OC Maker supports full-body, chibi, anime, and 3D styles, and you can save your favorites in My Creations to iterate on later.
If you make OCs for other fandoms too, try the Sonic OC Maker or the Anime OC Maker — same fast workflow, different worlds.
