Uzi Doorman is the main protagonist of the Glitch Productions web series Murder Drones. A Worker Drone with an immense sense of individualism, she strives to get even with her creators, humanity (namely megacorp JCJenson), with a homemade railgun against the Disassembly Drones, sent by their parent company to destroy them so they could take back the ruined Planet Earth, aided by turncoat D-Drone N.
She is voiced by Elsie Lovelock, who also voices Meggy Spletzer and Evelyn Claythorne from SMG4 and Meta Runner respectively.
Biography[]
Origins[]
Uzi Doorman was born around the time that the Disassembly Drones arrived on Copper 9. Her mother was supposedly stung by a Murder Drone and her father, Khan Doorman, had to put her down with a wrench (probably a reason why Uzi dislikes her father). Throughout her life she heavily disapproved of hiding behind the three doors, despite its effectiveness. She also disliked her father, because he was the creator of the doors, and was just generally on the receiving end of being a teenager. Uzi also pirated anime over the years, which was the source of her acrobatic skills.
Rebellious Age[]
Eventually, Uzi started finding the pieces to make a Railgun and presented it to her class for her homework, which was actually a word problem on buying watermelons. Uzi gave exposition about the Worker Drones, the elimination of biological life on Copper 9 and the arrival of the Disassembly Drones by orders of JCJenson, their parent company.
Pilot[]
She presented her slideshow and her railgun, much to the apathy of her peers and her teacher, who pointed out what her homework and that her repressed emotional baggage was only worth 2 points on the rubric. The railgun ended up malfunctioning, causing an explosion.
Later, Uzi was in the sick bay after the accidental explosion, where she talked to Thad about her plan to sneak to the Corpse House and find the last part for her railgun and hoping her father will be impressed. Thad questioned if it is necessary, seeing as Uzi's father built doors specifically so they didn't need to do that 'scary sounding emotionally repressive stuff'. Uzi seemingly got angry at Thad, then left, clarifying she was not angry, just generally hormonal. At 3AM, she geared up and stole the Master Door Key from her dad's office. Uzi tried to sneak out, but was met by her dad, who enquired why she was there. Uzi lied to him that she wanted to examine Door 1 as help for her project, and was let out.
After she snuck out to the Corpse House, Uzi found the component she needed, but was attacked by Serial Designation N, who impaled her hand with his nanite syringe and threw her against a wall. Uzi successfully ended up shooting N's head off with the railgun, but N's head reassembled. In desperation, Uzi smacked N's head with a severed robot arm. N responded, "Did you just slap me with that arm?" to which Uzi, who apparently did not know Murder Drones could communicate, said "Holy crap, it talks."
Due to his optical sensors being offline, N mistook Uzi for a new member of his squad, commenting on the fact that she's a bit short for a Murder Drone. He healed Uzi's wound with his saliva and talked about the other two members of his squad, Serial Designation J and Serial Designation V. Uzi realized the landing pod is a spaceship and questioned if N really knew what JCJenson will do with the Murder Drones after the workers are killed. At this point, J and V arrived, and Uzi fled the Corpse House.
N pursued Uzi to the colony, and managed to get the doors open, slaughtering some of the WDF. Uzi ran into her dad, who was shocked and horrified at the state of the doors. N interrupted and impaled Uzi against a wall, dropping the railgun at Khan's feet. Uzi begged Khan to shoot, but instead Khan backed away and closed off the area, leaving Uzi disheartened and N sympathizing with her. Uzi hid as N expressed some of his doubts about JCJenson to J, which prompted J to infect him with a virus. After J departed, Uzi helped remove the virus from N and teamed up with him to stop the two Murder Drones.
At the evacuation spot, V impaled Thad and was about to kill him before Uzi yelled at her to put 'that conventionally attractive male' down. N also chimed in, saying that he wished J wasn't so mean to him, but clarifying it as constructive criticism. The two split, Uzi facing J and N fighting V.
Uzi threw a JCJenson pen at J, impaling one of her sensors. She pulled it out, before Uzi jumped towards her, forcing the pen into her visor by kicking it. After tearing it out, she sent out an EMP, rendering Uzi unconscious temporarily, which caused her to drop to the ground. J was saying her monologue to Uzi who then stabbed J with her tail in her leg, causing her to panic and fall over. Uzi grabbed her railgun and then obliterated J's top half of her body, killing her, while V was tied up by her own tail.
After the two Murder Drones are defeated, the workers celebrate, but Uzi was still angry at her dad for abandoning her to die. She ended up banishing herself from the colony, and she, N and V departed.
Uzi was sitting on a broken car thinking, N staying inside the Corpse House because sunlight would kill him. Uzi said she was just thinking about killing all humans, and started laughing maniacally as her eyes flickered yellow.
Heartbeat[]
In Episode 2, Uzi calls N into the Disassembly Drones' space ship stating she had found something. Uzi looks into a mirror and the mirror shatters as her right eye turns into a mysterious symbol for a split second. A chained up V turns to Uzi and states that it was "weird and concerning." Uzi tells her that it's probably the Disassembly Drones' fault. N enters the space ship and Uzi places the badge she had found on his hat, stating that he was the pilot. N asks Uzi if killing all humans is moral, and Uzi explains to him that the humans are past negotiating since they cut off all communication with the Disassembly Drones, while mentioning that the humans also tried negotiating with Uzi's mom. V then points out how Uzi says the Worker Drones are so "conveniently innocent", but Uzi wants to kill all humans. A fight almost occurs between Uzi and V, however N pulls Uzi away from her to prevent it. N then questions the fact that J was getting orders from someone, and it clearly wasn't the company, which Uzi simply replies with "Stop complicating my murder plan!"
While Uzi and N are outside the lair, Thad finds them and tells Uzi about the recent disappearances of Worker Drones, which convinces Uzi to return to the Worker Drones' bunker. After Uzi arrives at the bunker with N and Thad, N convinces the Worker guarding the door to let him in, and all three enter the bunker. After sneaking into the room where they fought J and V, they discover J's body is missing, this is when Uzi finds something with "AbsoluteSolver" written on it and starts reading it. Uzi finds out that this is a program that activates when the host Disassembly Drone is destroyed, and the program attempts to find material to repair the host's body.
Uzi is then shushed by N as they notice a human hand, attached to a long robotic arm that grabs Thad's leg. N fires a missile into the distance to illuminate the rest of the creature, to reveal a large, centipede-like creature crawling on the walls and ceiling. Right after witnessing this monstrosity, the arm pulls Thad towards the creature, however N throws a shuriken at the arm, cutting it clean off. It then knocks both Uzi and N to the ground, and drags Thad into the darkness.
Uzi and N both run after Thad where they see a hologram of him in an attempt to lure them towards the creature. N throws a shuriken towards it, which Uzi kicks mid-air to give it a boost, and it cuts one of the creature's limbs off, which was holding on to Thad. Thad runs away from it, and Uzi asks about J, which a robotic voice replies that it is trying to repair the host's body, then creates a hologram of Nori Doorman, Uzi's mother, and says she's disappointed Uzi doesn't remember them. Uzi asks N about the hologram but he's nowhere to be found.
The creature then creates a hologram of Khan, rips it apart, and eats it right in front of Uzi. It accomplishes its goal of distressing Uzi when it starts moving in on her. It creates a hologram of N which tricks Uzi into giving it the railgun, and the creature knocks Uzi to the ground and destroys her railgun. This is when the real N appears and cuts the creature's limbs off with his chainsaw hands.
N notices that the railgun was about to explode, so he flies her to a safe distance and shields her from the explosion with his wings, which almost completely destroys the creature. Its heart then crawls towards them only to get impaled repeatedly by N's tail, which it turns into a black hole and disappears. N hears the other Workers approaching, and holds out his hand for Uzi to grab. However, she pushes his hand away in pure terror and asks what Disassembly Drones really are. He understands that Uzi won't come with him so he flies away without her. Right after N leaves, Khan and a small group of other Worker Drones enter the room, and Uzi rushes to her dad and hugs him tightly. Khan looks up at N who quickly leaves the area. Uzi is then shown looking up at her room's ceiling which has pictures and drawings of the creature, and other things that she has witnessed.
The Promening[]
It is the day of the prom, and Uzi finds out that many Worker Drones are recently disappearing, and tries to bring the missing posters to her room, only to find out that her father had removed all of the things she had put on her wall, because he thought that Uzi needed to change, and brought Lizzy and Doll to help her get ready for prom.
They then go to Doll's house where Uzi goes to the bathroom to get dressed.
While she was there, she finds a pile of discarded mirrors in the bathtub, and notices that Doll was approaching. Uzi is able to escape through the ventilation shaft using the discarded mirrors as stairs, and while running outside, N appears and tells her that V escaped.
The two then decide to work together to stop Doll, and when they went to prom, they were surprised that V wasn't killing anyone, and that Doll was the one killing the Worker Drones and using the prom to have a chance at revenge against V for murdering her parents. Uzi and N quickly intervene and prevent Doll from killing V, telling her that humans were trying to force them to kill each other, and that she won't deal with what is happening to her alone.
A fight breaks out against Doll, who almost successfully killed Uzi, before V shoots Doll in the head. The three then investigate Doll's apartment, where they find the bodies of many Worker Drones, along with Doll's parents, and when searching the body of Doll's mother, Doll appears and takes the bullet out of her head and shoots it at Uzi, who stops it from hitting her with her strange powers. Doll feels sorry for her after realizing she was affected by the AbsoluteSolver, and leaves. Uzi then yells that she hates it here.
"Cabin Fever"[]
Uzi decides to investigate her mother's past and look for Doll in Camp 98.7 under the guise of a camping trip, bringing her classmates and teacher along with her. N and V supervise Uzi's class while she goes alone to investigate. While investigating in a small cabin, she stumbles upon a calendar that states that all of the dogs were evacuated before the core collapse and are now immortal thanks to science, to which she lets out a sigh of relief before hearing strange noises and seeing a human hand, making her almost drop her flashlight. She then hears screaming from outside and thinks that someone's in danger, only to look out the window and see N, V, and her classmates canoeing on the frozen lake.
Her jealousy of seeing N being happy with the others and seemingly forgetting about her causes the AbsoluteSolver to activate, breaking the window she was looking out of while she begins to overheat. She starts scavenging through her bag to find an arm she stole from Doll's apartment to feed on, but doesn't as V barges in. Uzi kicks her bag aside as V reminds her to continue investigating "that red-eyed Doll freak" instead of watching them from the window. She also tells Uzi to stay distant from everyone and that she'll kill her next, scratching her visor while saying so. Just as she leaves, she tells Uzi that N has befriended rocks, and that he'll move on just fine without Uzi.
After V leaves, Uzi repairs the scratch on her visor and goes to retrieve her bag. She puts it away and finds a crushed robotic cockroach under it, making her feel pity for it and repair it using her powers. She then sees something peculiar about a set of floorboards, destroying them to reveal a Worker Drone's corpse underneath it, surrounded by papers and more robotic cockroaches.
Just then, one of the cockroaches crawls onto her hand. However, this one was unique; it was larger than the others and was glowing pale green. Uzi tries to slap it away, only for it to crawl away and appear on her other hand, voicing its anger through a holographic display resembling a chat bubble with the text ">:(" written on it. Suddenly, it starts scanning her face and collar, registering her as "002" and opening a holographic display resembling a messaging app on a phone. It sends multiple chat options, each of them being "SUBMIT TIMECARD," "PTO REQUEST," "REGISTER TORTURE CHAMBER COMPLAINT", "END MY SUFFERING (PROMO OFFER DISCONTINUED)," and "CALL ELEVATOR." Uzi questions the elevator, and the cockroach responds with "PLEASE PLACE ME ON PROXIMITY READER (CABIN FEVER LABS)." Uzi asks it where these labs are and what the cockroach is, however it is registered as "Wear his hat. What argue?" and the cockroach replies with "INVALID RESPONSE." In the background, Doll is seen stalking Uzi, disappearing shortly after.
Uzi leaves the cabin with the green cockroach and sees N and V practicing archery with her class, where Uzi uses the cockroach to communicate with N from a distance. She tells him to not let V know that she's there. N, however, calls out Uzi, making everyone else notice her. Just as he realizes his mistake, Braiden shoots an arrow at her, but she catches it with her powers, only for it to mutate into a demented organic mass. As her class starts fearing her, she runs away to another cabin while V attempts to chase her down and kill her.
N stops her, stating that Uzi's just a kid like them, and calls her out for withholding information from him. He goes after Uzi, telling V to look after the campers. V simply leaves the campers to do whatever they want, and walks off. Rebecca and Darren use this as an opportunity to sneak away and make out, going to a cabin that, unfortunately for them, was the same one that Uzi ran off to. Darren attempts to turn on the lights and stumbles upon a piece of flesh. As Rebecca and Darren wonder what was in the cabin, Uzi sprouts from her cocoon, albeit someone entirely different. She then kills Darren and rips Rebecca's legs off, though she manages to escape and warn the rest of the campers about Uzi.
While Lizzy, Emily, Sam, and Braiden try to make sense of what Rebecca had told them, Uzi's eyes flash in the distance, now fully transformed with organic wings and tail. Braiden realizes that she was who Rebecca was trying to warn them about, only for him to get beheaded with the rest of his body set on fire. The three remaining split up as Emily says she thought she read that is was good, though as the book she was reading falls on to the floor and the pages flip open in the wind, it reveals that it is not what the book said.
Sam is seen running into the woods, only to bump into a tree and land upside-down against it. A book then falls from above, onto Sam's head, and as he tries to make sense of the book, Uzi appears, hanging from the tree and crawling towards him. Sam asks her if the book had pictures, to which Uzi responds that it doesn't, and she checked before brutally mauling him.
Lizzy hears Sam screaming in the distance, then sees Emily waving at her in the distance. As Lizzy approaches her, it's revealed to be Uzi using Emily's corpse as a puppet before dismembering her, showing off her organic bat-like wings. Uzi then skitters towards Lizzy and gets ready to attack, only for V to shield Uzi from Lizzy with her wings before stating that she's "Killing her, not saving Lizzy." to which Lizzy simply replies with "Okay, mom,” and faceplants into the snow.
V switches out her claws for blades as she approaches Uzi, ready to deal the finishing blow. She nonchalantly says "New body, same horrors. Huh, Cyn?" though Uzi doesn't know who Cyn is. She begs V to let her talk to N, to which V refuses, making Uzi angry. Just as V is about to strike, Uzi's organic tail appears beside her and bites her arm off, throwing her to the side. Uzi throws V's blade back at her, however she deflects it with her other arm. Uzi then pins her against a tree, and V attempts to shoot Uzi with a missile, only for Uzi to stab her in the side of the head with her own blade, causing her to miss. The missile lands on the ground next to Lizzy, blowing her away.
Uzi throws V onto the ground and pins her down. V attempts to stab Uzi with her nanite tail, although Uzi bites it off with her own organic tail and grabs it with her hand, attempting to stab V with it. However, N appears and picks Uzi up, who stabs his hand with V's tail. Just then, she snaps out of it as N throws her into the sky. N reprimands V for antagonizing Uzi, while she complains that he always takes Uzi's side before N flies off to confront Uzi.
N follows Uzi as they both fall from the sky and they both have a heart-to-heart. Uzi tearfully asks him if he's gonna leave her for everything that she did. N says that he missed her, as before they met, scary stuff was actually scary, and tonight was quite scary without her as well. Uzi admits that she missed him too. He reassures her that they'll stick together using Uzi's tail as a ventriloquist dummy. Uzi laughs and says not to touch it, then does the same thing as N, mocking a British accent just as they both land on the earth with N carrying Uzi in a princess carry style.
Uzi apologizes for what she did tonight, and N laughs it off as he tells her once again that they'll both stick together from now on. Uzi hugs him, which makes Lizzy disgusted while V merely looks annoyed.
The night is done, the horrors are over. The surviving campers make their way back to the bus. The teacher tells V that some of the campers are missing. She looks over at N and Uzi who are sleeping together, as the green cockroach crawls up to Uzi's beanie, then sighs as she takes the blame for all the murders. Meanwhile, as the sun rises, Uzi's hand begins to burn. N notices this and takes Uzi's hand from the sunlight, only for Uzi to twirl it around his, shocking him as he nervously lets go. Tonight's events has only led to more questions than answers, it seems.
Home[]
Sometime after this, N and V get knocked unconscious by Cyn, who tries to hack them in order to erase their memories of the past.
Uzi decides to hack into their memories to stop her, and frees N from a tree and saves him from crows. During this, Khan tries to talk to her, but Uzi angrily shuts the door to her room after he thought she was having a sleepover with N and V. After getting back to N's memories, Uzi and N go to talk to Tessa and J to ask for the key to the mansion's basement, which Uzi is able to get from J.
V, who is possessed by Cyn, attacks them, and J and Tessa decide to fight against Cyn while Uzi and N go to the basement. After her crow was killed by Cyn's solver form, Uzi hacks into the solver and uses it to see the basement, where she and N find out that Cyn was using it to do experiments on Worker Drones' bodies.
When Uzi then tried to leave their memories, Doll appeared and she was forced to leave N's memories, causing Cyn to retake her body and try to kill N. However, Uzi gives Doll her cockroach, and locks the door to her room in Doll's face, causing Doll to leave, which made Uzi able to hack Cyn again and stop her from killing N. After saving N's life, she is able to get N and V out of their memories and back to the real world, and they go find Doll, who is now working for J and Tessa.
Absolute END[]
Appearance[]
Uzi is a worker drone with purple eyes and hair. She also wears a beanie hat over it, black boots with striped long socks, and has a black hoodie. For a brief period her right hand's palm had a hole through it after she was attacked by Murder Drone Serial Designation N, but it was healed by N's saliva. In the epilogue of the pilot, Uzi's eyes temporarily turned yellow.
Mutated form[]
Her mutated form closely resembles that of a Murder Drone. However, the wings and tail are organic. The wings are bony with a corium. The tail has several luminous spots and has a toothed mouth.
Personality[]
Uzi is a rebellious Worker Drone who thinks that all other drones must rise up and stand against their creators, much to the general perfunctoriness of her peers. She is blunt, snarky and mostly cynical in general. She is typical of the phrase 'Bite me!' which is used as form of dismissal towards others.
Uzi perceives herself as an "angsty teen", which she does fit to an extent, and notes that she has "crippling daddy issues" implying that her strained relationship with her father may lend to her nature, and to her "repressed emotional baggage". She is fairly intelligent, being able to build a railgun that could produce enough power to destroy a Murder Drone, even if only temporarily. She’s also shown to be acrobatic from pirating Anime.
After saving the Worker Drones from Serial Designation V and Serial Designation J, Uzi lost hope in the Worker Drones that she once thought could have the potential to rebel against humans, now realizing that no matter how much she tried to convince them, it all ends with uselessness, especially considering how her own father left her for dead instead of believing in his own daughter. This leads her to exile herself from them, and go with N.
At the end of the pilot however, she is shown to have begun to descend into sociopathy, as she seems eager to go to Earth and destroy all humans.
However, in spite of Uzi's typically negative aspects and morally conflicted nature, she does express some empathy to a degree, returning back to her father and eventually back to N after deserting both of them.
Solver/Eldritch form[]
In her Solver/Eldritch form, Uzi is still ambivalent. In this form, she displays the murderous tendencies of a Disassembly Drone with blood thirst. She still has trouble using her new found power.
Abilities[]
| Ability | Function |
|---|---|
| AbsoluteSolver | |
| Glass Shattering | Every reflective surface Uzi looks at gets shattered. |
| Telekinesis | Just like Doll, Uzi can move objects without directly touching them via using her AbsoluteSolver. |
| Matter Destruction | In "Cabin Fever", Uzi is seen breaking the floorboards in the cabin without directly touching them. |
| Matter Distortion/Transformation (?) | Uzi unintentionally transforms an arrow into a grotesque, organic amalgamation using her AbsoluteSolver powers. |
| Flight/Wings Manifestation | In her Solver form, Uzi grows large, bat-like wings made of organic matter. |
| Tail Manifestation | In her Solver form, Uzi sports a tail that has a fleshy creature that resembles a crocodile, with numerous purple eyes and a stinger tongue. |
| Regeneration/Healing | In "Cabin Fever", Uzi is able to repair her visor after having it scratched by one of V's claws, and she also repairs a robotic cockroach after accidentally crushing it with her bag. |
Weaknesses[]
| Weakness | Function |
|---|---|
| AbsoluteSolver | |
| Overheating/Vampirism | Similar to the Disassembly Drones, Uzi has a craving for oil and can overheat if she doesn't drink enough of it. She's also been shown to burn under sunlight. |
Criminal Record[]
Murder: Uzi used her railgun to "kill" N and J in the pilot, both of which revived by absolute solver program and revived as absolute solver program. In Heartbeat Uzi indirectly kills Eldritch J when her railgun was damaged and blew up. In Cabin Fever, Uzi turned into a zombie drone and kills several worker drones for example Braidon, Darren, Emily, or Rebecca.
Trivia[]
- Uzi can be considered as an anti-hero (A hero who has good reasons to commit acts that can be viewed as villainous by others.). Uzi makes a good example, due to humans treating her kind as nothing but tools that'll one day die for uselessness so she had to rebel the humans for what they've done to her and her fellow Worker Drones. Initially, she was considered villainous until it was revealed that her motives in the pilot were actually carried out by the AbsoluteSolver.
- Uzi may be named after the eponymous submachine gun.
- Oddly enough, the name Uzi is an informal variant of the Hebrew name Uziel (עוזיאל), which is traditionally a male name.
- Her signature weapon is her purple railgun/magnetically amplified photon converging accelerator. Real railguns use magnetic fields to metal projectiles at high speeds, and photons are particles of light. This suggests it may be some form of laser.
- In her bedroom, she has various post it notes, about research, to do and doo....
- Uzi is noted by N's sensors to have "plot armor", which is a plot device, which is when the main protagonist is protected by the plot itself.
- After the pilot episode, Uzi eventually shows off signs of her becoming a Disassembly Drone, fans have stated that it was because one of the Murder Drones infected her during their encounter. But later in the series, it is shown these Disassembly Drone like abilities are from her AbsoluteSolver infection, which she has had her entire life due to inheriting it from her mother, Nori.
- Uzi says: “OH MY ROBO-JESUS” which implies the existence of religion and higher entities.
- Uzi is left-handed. This is shown in "Episode 3: The Promening", where Uzi is shown writing while kneeling on top of her desk and groaning.
- This is also shown in episodes as early as the Pilot, where whenever Uzi wields her railgun, she holds it in the left-handed position.
- Uzi's Railgun has a sticker resembling Saiko's emblem, which is fitting since both Saiko (only for singing parts) and Uzi are voiced by Elsie Lovelock.
- Uzi, alongside other characters, were given other voice actors in international versions:
- In Russian, she is voiced by Arina Kolotyuk.
- In Portuguese, she is voiced by Stephany Custodi.
- In Spanish, she is voiced by Cassandra Valtier.
- In Ukrainian, she is voiced by Lem0nka.
- In Turkish, she is voiced by Miray Özdönmez.
- In Japanese, she is voiced by ???.
- In Filipino, she is voice by Janeane Santos-Roco.
