Killers (will also be updated throughout the story)

The killers do not live together but near each other.

• Artful - he/him
  • Doesn’t speak French that often
    • Only says it when caught off guard

• Badware - it/its
  • Hangs out with Killdroid a lot because it finds it interesting
    • Also hopes to find a way to infect Killdroid with its virus
  • Doesn’t kill Artful since he’s not trying to stop it 

• Harken - she/her
  • Attacks civilians because she knows they make a lot of noise (in the civilians' defense, they were not aware of that)
  • Very timid and shy outside of killing
  • Constantly pesters Artful for his music box
  • Has a pair of soundproof headphones
    • Pestered Killdroid to make them
  • Would probably hold grudges depending on what the person did to them

• Killdroid - it/its
  • Doesn’t kill Artful because Badware somehow managed to convince it that he wasn’t a criminal (oh, the irony)
  • May or may not be turning sentient [author’s note: I do not know how to write characters that can’t express any emotion. it’s simply alien to me.]
  • Clings on to its order very clearly for a sense of purpose
    • Also chooses not to question orders or anything about itself because it believes it is strictly made to fulfill its orders
  •  Loathes Tolerates Badware despite his lack of purpose
    • Does not see his goal of infection as a purpose since it’s not for the better good (I love irony)

• Pursuer - he/him
  • Doesn’t even bother trying to eat Artful anymore because he’s convinced that Artful wears the makeup 24/7 (he doesn’t)
  • Can’t speak a lick of English (or any language for that matter…)
    • He understand English
  • He does not know how to use his sword and he has to walk after using it because it’s heavy ig idk
