thad (murder drones)

Cyn — An indirect enemy, but extremely dangerous.
Cyn is one of the greatest threats in all of history.
Thad doesn't have an extensive personal rivalry with Cyn like Uzi does, but he is among the characters who end up fighting for survival during the final confrontation.
In the end, Thad helps the other survivors during the chaos and remains alive after Cyn's defeat.
Murder Drones +1
Relationship: enemy of Thad's team and a threat to the very survival of the Worker Drones.

Absolute Solver — Main threat
The Absolute Solver is not simply a personal enemy of Thad; it is a much greater threat to the entire existence of drones.
It is an entity/program capable of producing phenomena that surpass the normal capabilities of Worker Drones, and is directly linked to Uzi, Doll, and Cyn.
Thad ends up becoming an indirect adversary of the Solver simply because he is siding with Uzi and the survivors who are trying to stop its expansion.
Murder Drones +1
Relationship: existential enemy.

J — Direct enemy
Serial Designation J is one of Thad's clearest enemies.
During the attack on the colony, J demonstrates enormous physical superiority, and Thad tries to resist even knowing that he has virtually no chance of defeating her directly.
Later, Thad and Lizzy end up facing J again.
For Thad, J represents exactly what he hates most:
A powerful enemy who believes that Worker Drones are inferior.
Murder Drones +1
Relationship: declared enemies.

Chad — Friend and colleague
Chad is another schoolmate associated with Thad's social circle.
The two have a casual friendship, being part of the most popular/athletic student group.
There isn't as deep a history between the two as there is between Thad and Uzi, but Chad is among Thad's known friends.

Doll — Old friend
Doll was Thad's classmate and part of the school's social circle.
Before Doll revealed her true nature and her powers related to the Absolute Solver, she was considered Thad's friend.
However, when Doll begins to pursue his own path of revenge against V and starts using the Solver, the relationship breaks down.
Therefore:
Doll → former colleague and friend.
After → hostile/indirect relationship.

Khan Doorman — Ally and authority figure
Khan Doorman is Uzi's father and an important figure in the colony.
Initially, Thad admired the Worker Defense Force and believed that Khan was something of a hero for protecting the colony with his doors.
However, when Thad realizes that Khan was unwilling to confront the Disassembly Drones directly, he becomes deeply disappointed.
Despite this, the two eventually end up working together.
In "Mass Destruction," Thad, Lizzy, and Khan participate in an attempt to confront J.
Murder Drones +1
Relationship: admiration → disappointment → alliance.

V — Unlikely Ally
Serial Designation V is a much more complicated relationship.
Initially, Thad has every reason to be afraid of her. V is a Disassembly Drone that participated in the attacks against Worker Drones.
However, after N and V start working with Uzi, Thad begins to accept V as an ally.
He continues to know that V is extremely dangerous, but he comes to trust her.
At the dance, for example, Thad initially shows fear when V appears, but later joins the other students once she is accepted into the group.
Murder Drones +1
Relationship: former enemy → ally → friend.

Lizzy — Close friend
Lizzy is one of Thad's closest friends.
The two are schoolmates and have a very relaxed dynamic. Lizzy usually acts like the popular girl at school, while Thad plays the role of the athlete/"cool kid".
Despite their differences, they spend a lot of time together.
In "Mass Destruction," Lizzy even takes Thad out of the colony because she has a plan related to what's happening, and the two end up facing a situation involving J together.
Murder Drones +1
Relationship: close friendship, with a lot of companionship.

N — Friend and ally
Serial Designation N starts out as a natural enemy of Thad because it is a Disassembly Drone.
But N is different from the others.
After N starts helping Uzi, Thad gradually stops seeing him as a threat. The two end up developing a relaxed friendship.
N even saves Thad during events involving Eldritch J. Thad comes to trust him despite his origins as a Murder Drone.
Murder Drones +1
Relationship: friendship + companions in survival.
How does Thad see N?
"He's a Murder Drone... but he's a nice guy. It doesn't make much sense, but it works."

Uzi Doorman — Best friend / classmate
Uzi Doorman is probably Thad's most important connection.
From the start, Thad is one of the few students who doesn't treat Uzi like a freak. While most students prefer to avoid her, Thad talks to her normally and shows her respect.
He also shares Uzi's dissatisfaction with the Worker Drones' attitude of simply hiding behind the colony's doors.
Their relationship is based primarily on friendship, respect, and trust. Uzi also saves Thad in dangerous situations, and he later demonstrates that he is willing to help her when she needs it.
How Thad sees Uzi:
"She's strange... but she's one of the few people who actually does something."

One night, Thad received a strange signal.
His screen flickered.
For a moment, the whole world seemed to disappear.
Then he returned.
But something was different.
Their sensors registered an unknown energy source nearby.
Green.
Weak at the beginning.
Then it became increasingly intense.
Thad walked to an abandoned area of ​​the colony.
He found deep marks in the metal.
These were no ordinary footprints.
These were marks left by something that had crossed the region.
His screen lit up.
GREEN.
Thad stood motionless.
This definitely wasn't here yesterday.
He knew he had to go back.
But he heard a noise.
Metal scraping against metal.
Thad clenched his fists.

• Excellent.
  A shadow appeared among the wreckage.
  Thad assumed a fighting stance.
  Let's find out who's more scared. The creature attacked first.
  Thad swerved by a few centimeters.
  The blow destroyed a structure behind him.
  He realized immediately that he couldn't compete in strength.
  So he changed his strategy.
  He used the wreckage.
  He ran.
  He jumped.
  It slid under a piece of metal.
  And he struck the enemy with all the strength he possessed.
  CLANG!
  The impact wasn't enough.
  The creature attacked again.
  Thad was thrown against a wall.
  Your screen is showing interference.
  He tried to stand up.
  One of the legs gave way.
  For a few seconds, he remained completely still.
  Then he heard a voice through the communicator.
  Thad?
  He recognized it immediately.
  His friends were looking for him.
  Thad looked at the creature.
  Then on to the communicator.
  And she smiled.
• I am fine.
  He wasn't there.
  But there was no need to mention that.

Before Copper 9 turned into the frozen hell we know, Thad was just another student at the colony's school.
But there was one thing that set him apart.
Thad hated being still.
While other Worker Drones spent their time trying to ignore the reality outside the doors, he practiced combat moves, competed with other drones, and looked for ways to improve his physical skills.
He knew he couldn't beat a Disassembly Drone in a direct fight.
At least not yet.
"One day I'll manage to take down one of these guys," he said.
Most people laughed.
Thad was laughing too.
But deep down, he was serious. Seeing a Disassembly Drone for the first time completely changed his perception of the world.
The metallic creature descended from the sky like a predator.
It was fast.
It was brutal.
And it seemed virtually impossible to destroy.
Thad realized at that moment that all the scary stories told by the other Worker Drones were true.
But he also noticed something else.
Fear could control you.
Or I could teach you.
Thad chose the second option.
He began observing the movements of the Disassembly Drones whenever he had the opportunity.
Every attack.
Every mistake.
Every weakness.
Each pattern.
He didn't just want to survive.
I wanted to understand how they fought. As the events of Copper 9 became increasingly dangerous, Thad began to abandon the idea that only the colony's gates could protect them.
Drones needed alternatives.
And Thad began training other Worker Drones.
Nothing sophisticated.
There were no large weapons.
There were no armies.
Just metal, scrap metal, and determination.
He taught simple things:
How to run.
How to dodge.
How to work as a team.
How to use the environment.
How can you not freeze in fear when faced with a creature far more powerful than you?
"You don't need to be stronger than the enemy," Thad said. "You just need to be smart enough to survive him."

Thad is one of the Worker Drones that best represents the idea of ​​"I'm not simply going to accept my fate."
He is:
Courageous: does not usually run away immediately when faced with a threat.
Confident: believes he can overcome problems even when the odds are against him.
Sarcastic: uses humor and provocative comments to defuse dangerous situations.
Competitive: loves challenges and has a strong sporting spirit.
Loyal: doesn't easily abandon his friends.
Protector: when someone is in danger, their first reaction is to try to help.
Impulsive: sometimes acts before thinking.
Resilient: even after witnessing terrible events, continues trying to move forward.
Behind all the confidence, however, lies a fear that Thad rarely shows:
The fear of being useless when someone really needs him.
It is precisely this fear that drives him to train harder and harder.

Thad retains the distinctive appearance of a Worker Drone.
Its body is made of dark metal and compact mechanical components, with articulated arms and legs. Its black visor occupies a large part of its face, allowing its digital eyes to express emotions through luminous symbols.
In the version based on the image, his eyes have an intense green glow, making his expression particularly menacing when he is angry or concentrating.
He wears a dark uniform, complemented by yellowish details and his characteristic sporty look. His metallic hair is styled upwards, reinforcing his youthful and confident appearance.
Despite being a robot, Thad possesses quite human-like body language: he often places his hands on his hips, assumes defiant poses, tilts his head when confused, and clenches his fists when he decides to confront a threat.

Thad is a Worker Drone who, despite living in a world where survival depends on remaining hidden behind the doors of a colony, has always had a different attitude from most.
While many drones prefer to obey school rules and stay within designated safe zones, Thad has a more impulsive personality. He enjoys challenges, competition, and, above all, proving that a Worker Drone doesn't have to be defenseless.
His confidence, however, doesn't stem solely from arrogance. Thad quickly learned that, in Copper 9, courage can be just as important as strength.
After the events involving the Disassembly Drones, Absolute Solver, and the progressive destruction of the colony, Thad came to understand that surviving didn't simply mean hiding.
It meant being prepared to fight.
