Serial Designation N

"Other than ingesting their WARM SWEET-oil to avoid overheating and dying?"

- N, explaining why he needs to kill Worker Drones

Serial Designation N, commonly known as N, is the deuteragonist of the Glitch Productions web series Murder Drones. He is a kind Murder Drone with the attitude of wanting to get the job done, but he is oftentimes told by his co-workers that he is useless and terrible, and barely gets respect. He was a member of J's squad.

Appearance
N has features similar to that of typical male Disassembly Drones with yellow neon eyes and short silverish hair parted to the left. Like other Murder Drones, he has a black headband with five sections of lights and a long black tail ending in a large syringe, both with a neon yellow liquid inside. For a while after his head was blown off, one of his headband lights was colored red, which reverted to yellow after his system rebooted.

He wears a black winter coat with a fur collar and a black cap.

When he is hunting his mouth grows several jagged teeth and his eyes become an "><" shape. He also deploys dangerous bladed wings and claws that allow him to easily tear through any drone.

Personality
N is kind, nervous, and also socially awkward. He wanted to be friends with or at least be accepted and acknowledged by his squad, but because of his naive and good-natured personality, he ends up being ostracized.

Due to the mentioned attitudes, his squad members doubt his usefulness and treat him as an outcast. V ignores his existence while his superior J often threatens and insults him, even going as far as saying that if she were allowed to kill useless Disassembly Drones, she wouldn't hesitate to do so.

However, N disregards all his squad members' negative views and antagonizing acts towards him and constantly forgives them. He even goes as far as protecting them as shown when he went to kill Uzi before she could use her railgun to kill the Murder Drones.

He appears to be very trusting of people, as he assumed Uzi was his new squadmate when his systems weren't functioning properly, even wanting to introduce her to his squad. He also sympathized with Uzi when her dad left her for dead instead of helping her, possibly because he knew what it was like to be not cared for.

Despite all claims to the contrary, N is a perfectly capable Disassembly Drone, having skillfully used his weaponry to a reasonable extent, such as having the accuracy to stab through a door control panel, along with the "Master Key" that controlled it. He also is remarkably perceptive and intelligent, having managed to spot Uzi even after she made little to no noise, and acknowledged the threat posed by Uzi's railgun to the Murder Drones.

Abilities
Flight: Like any other Disassembly Drone, N possesses a dangerous pair of large retractable wings with several long blades instead of feathers that allow for high speed flight and can be used to cut and impale things.

Corrosive Nanites: The end of a N's tail has a syringe of yellow liquid containing highly corrosive nanites.

Healing Saliva: N's saliva has the ability to deactivate the corrosive nanites that are produced from the syringe on his tail.

Regeneration: N possesses the ability to regenerate lost limbs or even his head by using an unknown liquid-like substance shown when his head regenerated after being hit by a blast by Uzi's railgun.

Interchangeable Hands: Like other Disassembly Drones, N can change out his hands for various tools and weaponry. He is shown to posses:
 * A cannon that emits whatever the he is thinking about, which was shown shooting out hearts because his head was "in a weird place".
 * A missile launcher which shoots medium explosive missiles.
 * A laser cutting gun that can shoot a laser beam which can slice through anything.
 * Hands with large bladed fingers, which he used to force open the door to the colony.
 * Blades that he used in his fight with V.

EMP Immunity: N is immune to the effects of EMPs.

Vampirism: N has to consume Worker Drone oil to prevent his systems from overheating. It is also implied at the end of the Pilot that direct sunlight can cause him to overheat.

Trivia

 * N appears to have a fascination with retraction or clicky pens.
 * N apparently has a willingness to lick or use his tongue on things. He was willing to let Uzi put her hand in his mouth to heal her nanite wound, and resorted to licking V's blade hand when they were in a blade lock, much to the latter's disgust. Both times he uses the word "repressed".
 * In his system reboot N was shown to possess the character trait "Lovable Idiot".
