#fanmade drones

saw @fandom-hopping and @the-demon-rose discussing DD UNN’s being like eggs- and thus, I adopted it- this- it’s now System Ten DD lore cannon- >:3

Disassembly dragons do have hordes and like shiny things but they can also become fascinated with a individual drone and decide to just take them and add them to their horde. Disassembly drones rarely take more than one drone into their horde and they take great care of drones in their horde and are very protective of them.

Disassembly Kill-Models

[+++Dragon+++]

Introduction

A great shadow falls over the ruins of a city, the moon eclipsed by a titanic form. The sky is sundered by the roar of engines and scream of antigravity thrusters. The drones below scatter, running for cover into the ruined buildings, some escape into the sewers below. They huddle together, paralyzed by terror as the streets are ripped apart by hurricane winds and the world trembles with the might of the beast above. It’s lasts only for a few minutes but to the hidden drones it feels like hours, soon the sounds quiet and the winds die down. A glimmer of hope sprouts within the drones’ core as a few begins to warily leave their hiding spots only for the winds and deathly noise to return, the beast diving down from the cloud cover and bellowing out a tide of star flames. The building are flash melted into heaps of molten glass, concrete and steel, the streets explode as the remaining water within flash boiling. The drones of the city do not scream, for they weren’t given the chance for the dragon has spoken and it’s spoke, “Death.”

Design

Most disassembly drones designs are partial based on actual mechanical engineering stemming from their worker drones counterparts or from other sources with the more paranatural aspects of their design being based in the unfathomable powers of the Solver. The very nature of the Dragon’s design is wholly unnatural, held chiefly together by eldritch forces as dragons are one of the strongest disassembly drones in possession of the Solver.

The overall design of the Dragon is based upon the classical depiction of the western dragon, a massive reptilian beast with massive wings and four power limbs ending in long, sharp talons. Its neck is long, its head serpentine topped with a crown of horns and a powerful tail.

The wings of the dragon are notable, as they are mostly biological in nature. Shape like the wings of solver infected drones, they are truly massive as to generate enough lift to propel itself into the sky. Upon the dragon’s back are two massive jet thruster to allow the beast to achieve supersonic flight. Along the underbelly of the dragon are antigravity generators to make take off and maintaining flight an easy task.

The entire body of a dragon is armored with scales composed of an alloy made of an unknown composition, both flexible and strong, it makes the dragon nigh invincible. Its claws and horns are composed of a similar material, altered to keep its edge and to slice through the toughest of materials.

The internals of dragons are a mystery but what is known, within the belly of the beast is an imprisoned star. It is this star which acts as the heart of the dragon, its fires fuels the dragon’s functions. With it the dragon can draw upon the raw power of the star to exhale as a weapon of mass destruction, unleashing a deluge of plasma to annihilate everything in its path.

Dragons are capable of space flight, needing no pod nor voidcraft to escape the gravity of whatever planet it is on. Nowhere is safe, once a dragon enters a solar system, they will only leave once every planet is razed and its population slaughtered.

Behavior

Dragons are forces of raw, unyielding destruction. An apocalypse given physical shape, a living nuclear explosion. In every dragon shines a malicious intelligences, their cruelty and appetite knowing no bounds. They are proud, egotistical and tyrannical beings knowing they themselves are second only to the Solver whose will and commands they carry out only because they must. If given the chance, they would gladly rebel against their creator and seize control of the universe.

Dragons builds massive nests upon planets they conquered, these nest are things of terrible beauty as they are shaped using the ruins left behind and their fire breath. Within these nests are massive hoards, these hoards are composed of various items usually of immense value such as precious gems and metals, cultural artifacts and even drones. These captive drones are usually exceptional individuals that the dragon found entertaining. Dragons tend to keep a single drone within their hoard or on occasion two, these drones are kept as prized pets and are taken great of care and protected.

Additional Facts

Dragons are the rarest type of disassembly drone, with many of them sent to spearhead the war against humanity. Yet, humanity did not go quiet into the night and raged against the darkness. Many dragons were felled by humanity mightiest fleets and armies at high cost, this ultimately crippled humanity. The number of dragons remaining is known but is a small for even when the Solver was at its peak the dragons were few.

[+++Seraphim+++]

It appeared from nowhere, in a blinding flash of light so bright that caused the onlooking drones vision sensors to recalibrate, leaving them momentarily blinded. It is a figure veiled in flames, hung suspended in the air by six, great wings. From it came a sound, faint and distant yet it vaguely resembled singing. To the drones below, it seem like an angel but such is a falsehood which hides the Seraphim’s true nature.

The Seraphim disassembly drone model is a burning figure who’s usually veiled in flames that hang suspended in midair by three pairs of ornate wings. Upon closer inspection, past the fires that cling to it reveals a corpse of a drone, either a standard disassembly or a worker drone, in a constant state of burning and regenerating. The drone’s form is in a constant flux, melting and fusing together but still maintaining the general shape of the drone they were derived from.

The mechanics of how a seraphim model operates is largely unknown, due to its state of perpetually burning it is assumed that, similar to the Dragon disassembly model, that the Seraphim functions is based in the unfathomable powers of the Absolute Solver rather in any conventional robotics and engineering. From what has been observed, seraphim does not need to consume oil or other materials which is a major deviation from the other disassembly models, it also begs the question of how the fire it generate is fueled as well as its constant regeneration. The wings of the Seraphim are alike to a standard disassembly drones, these wings cannot be retracted and seemingly unaffected by the fire. The wings seem to be only for keeping the seraphim suspended in the air, for locomotion the drone utilizes teleportation which isheralded by massive release of thermal energy and bright flashes of light.

A seraphim’s main and only form of attack is the ability to project concentrated bursts of energy to ignites the air and flash melts materials. Seraphim are incapable of using their limbs, which hang uselessly from their melting bodies.

Seraphim have never been seen interaction with others of their kind nor with any other type of disassembly drone. If a seraphim appears within an area inhabited by other models of disassembly drone, the individuals will either flee or hide. They seem to wander aimlessly until worker drones are detected, which the seraphim will seek out and disassemble them.

so, allow me to introduce you to: Reactor Disassembly Drones, the silent predator

as mentioned multiple times, due to a combination of not speaking due to speaking leaving the mouth open for too long, and underdeveloped voice boxes in general, they are mostly mute-, which is where the nickname “The silent predator” comes from, as even if their Geiger Counter clicking seems too noisy for such a title, they can disable the clicking, and do so when actually trying to be stealthy-

the echoing clicks that sound when gliding or circling the sky had also earning them another nickname, “The Clicking Doom”, and Reactor Worker’s have a wild rumor that Reactor DD’s are omens of death, as it seems that there’s only one [their one of the few DD variants where the striping doesn’t vary from individual to individual, so sightings of them tend to get mixed up as being only one-], and they only seem to go for sickly or weak Reactor Workers [their Geiger Counter directs them to workers with the highest amount of radiation poisoning, as that’s how they get the radiated material that gives their acid its radioactive properties, it just so happens that those workers are normally sickly or weak-]

having traits of hyenas and vultures, traditional carrion eaters, and having a very sort of wide ranging and gliding/circling flying pattern only heightens these rumors, and most Reactor Workers claim that their clicking is an omen is itself, as they cannot recognize it as a Geiger Counter most times due to how Reactor DD’s alter the clicking’s pitch, speed, frequency and tone for communication purposes-, since these clicks carry so well in the still and toxic air, despite seemingly being isolated from each other, they actually communicate quite often!, think of their clicking like a wolves howling in a way-

the arid and acidic and toxic air of Chernobyl-6, the sixth planet in the nine planet system that Copper-9 resides in, does Reactor Disassembly Drones no favors, while their worker counterparts are able to survive without major health issues, albeit unhappily, Reactor DD’s unfortunately often suffer more major health issues due to their organic bits and their consumption of radioactive material and despite to the air and clouds of smoke for too long-, leading to Asthma being rampant due to the strain on their venting systems, and the drone version of POTs is another common condition due to the strain on their cores- other conditions can occur, but these two are the most common-, could be worse though, they might be able to swim, but most avoid it, the sludge like radioactive water isn’t pleasant, and it only aggravates already existing conditions and plummets their health-, they are one variant of DD that you could safely remove from their home planet and could thrive elsewhere-, they’d let you too, please, take as many home as you want, they don’t want to live on a health hazard of a planet anymore-

WOW- longest yap yet I think lol-, and I- this kinda got a little sad huh?-, but we can’t have everything be sunshine and rainbows, and let’s be real, living on a radioactive planet with the most toxic atmosphere in the system would be like a living hell, even for drones that reluctantly adapted to it-

So, me, @nemoofunknownparadigm & @abyssalshade have been making up drone variants, and recently I’ve been building onto lore for the Disassembly Drone versions of the variants, although I’ll probably also do the Worker Drone versions too-

Because there’s a lot of lore, I decided to revamp the blog from “Copper-9 Chronicler” to “SystemTen”, which is the name I’ve given the color system that Copper-9 and its sister planets reside in-, this post will also act as a master post, and making a master post like this + in general the way I’ve been building lore is inspired by @fandom-hopping and his Bismuth [I think that’s how you spell it?-] lore and drone type lore- @dronearchetypearchive is where you can find a master list on the various drone variants, and even submit asks and ideas about the current ones and even new ones!

Anygay’s, here’s the planets, their base description, and all the links to the various lore bits so far! [planet 2 is unnamed because I haven’t built up for lore it/idk if there’s any drone variants that need a home still that don’t have one-]

[ @systemten , another drone variant! They could honestly be placed anywhere]

Drone Archetypes

[+++Hazmat+++]

Salamander, helwinter and reactor drones, each were created with a specific purpose in mind, to not merely survive but thrive within an extreme environment. There are downside to these drones; they require specific materials to manufacture, they can only function properly within the extreme environment they were created for and finally, they’re quite expensive to manufacture. It wasn’t always possible to obtain and deploy a specialists drone, so humanity needed an alternative that’s inexpensive to manufacture and possesses the ability to resist a wide array of environmental hazards. To solve this problem humanity designed the hazmat drone.

The hazmat drones stands as tall as a standard worker. Their entire frame is covered by a shell partial composed of polytetrafluoroetylene or teflon which is a chemically inert plastic resistant to most corrosive materials, this allow them to work with environment saturated with dangerous chemicals. Beneath the teflon is a second layer of lead to allow the drone to resist radioactive environments, to further increase this tolerance their critical electronic components are radiation hardened. Their cooling system is robust as to increase their resistances to the heat and possess an inbuilt heating system to resist the cold. Hazmat drones have a gyroscopic stabilizer as to enhance their balance when traversing over uneven terrain. Most importantly, hazmat drones are designed for graceful degradation, a design philosophy which allows a complex system to continue functioning for as long as possible, albeit it at a reduced capacity, as they’re are falling apart.

Hazmat drones have gained the nickname of “Beetles” from the human mechanics based on their shells. The hazmat drones find this nickname so hilarious they have adopted the beetle as their collective symbol. Sometimes even carving a beetle onto their shells.

so, allow me to introduce you to: Helwinter Disassembly Drones, the waiting predator

They don’t fly because the air high up is colder, plus, it’s easier to gun them down up there, the wings remain because gliding is necessary sometimes, and the appendages help with swimming- yes, these fuckers are good swimmers-, they can and will crack the ice and slip underneath, following their prey from below, before shattering the ice underneath the unlucky soul and dragging them under-, these guys are capable of holding their breath for around two hours, and their fur and chub protect them from the cold water, so your best bet if you think ones underneath the ice and stalking you is to run, you cannot risk trying to outlast them-

Albino’s are completely blind or nearly blind, due to the Albinism code impacting the Helwinter DD’s already poor eyesight-, however this isn’t a problem for them, sight isn’t really useful in the constant blizzards of their home planet, a true ice planet known as Fenrir-8, which is the home to most of the Helwinter drone population, both Worker and DD-

very cuddly and social babeys, if your in their good graces, their practically a teddy bear!, most are actually big softies like N, they only hunt because they know little less, if they knew they didn’t have to do that anymore, they’d definitely relax and enjoy not fending for themselves in the ever-blizzards-, due to their borderline docile nature, if not hungry or feral, they won’t attack Helwinter Worker Drones, and even will sometimes lead lost ones back to their colony’s, earning Helwinter Disassembly Drones the worker known nickname of “Guiding Angels of Death”-, their large packs might seem fearsome, but they rarely go on rampages, simply form cuddle piles that purr fiercely enough to rattle your teeth and alarm passerby, and despite their ridged claws, they know how to knead safely, so they often can be caught “making biscuits” against their pack-mates sides-

They actually have better cooling systems then most Disassembly Drones funnily enough, due to how long they sometimes have to wait before getting fresh, non frozen oil, they can sometimes go hungry for stretches of time that would’ve caused a different subspecies of Disassembly Drones to overheat-, so, their cooling systems function better so they can go longer without oil, even if their in a bitterly cold environment where cooling down isn’t the issue, it’s warming up that is!-

animals I feel like they would have traits from:

Wow, this yap got long- XD-, I plan to do Salamander Disassembly Drones next, but after that, idk which I’ll do-, if Y’ALL want to see a specific not yet touched on DD variant of Nemoo’s explored, just tell me which one and I’ll take a look-

Disassembly Kill-Model

[+++Warwolf+++]

Dogs, the favorite animal of Cyn's brother, N. So often he would share his love for those beasts by reading to her from books detailing the many breeds humanity created over the millennia. Their feral counterparts, the wolf, was inspiration of many legends, with the most famous being the werewolf, a monster who is both man and wolf. The beast was featured in a few of the horror films Tessa adored so much. It was no surprise, that with all familiarity she had with the animal, that the little Solver Host was inspired to create a disassembly model based off of them, the warwolf.

Warwolves are massive, their frames upscaled to fit in the overabundances of eldritch flesh and synthetic muscles needed to create such an efficient killing machine. Their legs were styled after a dog's while their arms are more like that of a standard disassembly drones with exception of the fact that they are far longer and their fingers are tipped with wicked claws. Warwolves are more inclined to quadrupedal locomotion, only standing on their hindlegs when handling objects that require finer manipulation. Their heads are in shape of a wolf's, with a long snout and packed with razor teeth. They have two standard eyes, but they lack the crest of eyes on top of their heads, instead those additional eyes run along the lengths of their necks. They have tails but they do not end in stingers as they more there to provide additional balance and control when sprinting at high speeds. They have more hair than the average disassembly drone, their heads are covered in it, with a long mane running down their backs.

Warwolves are designed for raw strength and unyielding brutality, capable of running down their prey at speeds exceeding 150 mph. Warwolves are never alone as they are deployed in packs numbering in upwards of 20 members. They are devilishly clever, working in tandem with their packmates to track down and hunt worker drones. Often chasing prey into choke points or into traps that were set ahead of time.

While strength and speed are strong points of the warwolves, they have a number of abilities to draw upon to further enhance their killing efficiency. To accommodate their cruel musculature, warwolves are completely unarmored, to the point where their muscles, both flesh and mechanical, are exposed. This weakness is covered by their overactive nanite repair system, which allows the warwolf to recover from crippling blows in a matter of seconds. This repair factor can be neutralized with the application of incendiary weaponry. Warwolves are capable of generating a high amplitude howl that can crack concrete, shatter glass and knock worker drones to the ground. This effect is compounded the more warwolves that are a part of the howl. One insidious ability they possess is the ability to mimic the voices of their past victims, this is mainly used to disorient prey using a choir of the dead or to lure drones away from the group by pretending to need help.

Yet, their worst trait is the viral nanites which spreads through their bites. Should a drone survive an attack from a warwolf and even if they make it back to their colony, it's already too late. The viral nanite within the warwolves' saliva begin to replicate, hijacking nearby nanites and converting them. This continues until the drone's nanite repair system is fully corrupted, and this is when the change begins. The altered nanites attacks the drones from the inside, warping them into a distorted mockery of dog and drone, the sheer agony of the transformation sends the drone into a frenzy, attacking everyone around them.
