==Plot==
Droners takes place in the world or [[ocean]] [[planet]] called TerrAqua – which is 95% covered by [[water]] with [[Island|islands]] (from [[Atoll|atolls]] to [[Archipelago|archipelagos]]) as the 5% land. Team Tiki – Corto, Mouse, Enki, and Oro – need to win the Whale Cup, the most intense [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|drone]] [[Drone racing|racing]] competition of all time. They'll compete against other [[Adolescence|teenage]] teams from all over TerrAqua, with most flying their G.E.N.I.E.-powered drones through dangerous territory and avoiding even more dangerous creatures. But failure isn't an option for Team Tiki: the fate of their home island, Nuï, relies on their victory!

==Characters==
===Main===
====Team Tiki====
* '''Corto Heilani''' is the 13-year-old female main character and Tikis' pilot. She's hardheaded and confident and a talented pilot who would do anything to save their team's home island Nuï. However, she can be impulsive and sometimes does or says things without considering the consequences. She really likes oromos as food. She has a crush on Sun in season 1, and during season 2, Sun grows distant and Corto warms up to Manta. While she competed to save her island in season 1, in season 2, she enters the Rotor Punch to win access to the Rust Queen's treasure chest, so Wyatt Whale can use Aquae Crystals to power his latest project, the Polar Shield, to stop the polar ices from melting, thus saving more islands from the rising waters.
* '''Mouse Ruto''' is the 10-year-old mechanix for the Tikis. She is also the daughter of the Shorescrubber Ruto Clan leader, Big Moe, and she has an older brother, Vago. Mouse is knowledgeable about Shorescrubber culture and often tries to make Corto stir clear of trouble when they enter into contact with it. Mouse usually tries to reason Corto out of her crazy ideas and impulses.
* '''Enki''' is the 13-year-old enginerd for the Tikis. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about nature and wildlife, frequently taking inspiration from different animals to modify Maroro for different races, but has difficulty understanding relationships with other people. He has a crush on Flora.
* '''Oro''' is the G.E.N.I.E. for the Tikis and powers their drone '''Maroro'''. He is later revealed to actually be an Aquae, which allows him to survive underwater while regular G.E.N.I.Es dissolve upon contact. However, Oro suffered amnesia prior to meeting the Tikis. In season 2, he was revealed to be the leader of an Aquae reconnaissance team but had lost his memories in a skirmish.

===Recurring===
====WhaleCorp====
* '''Wyatt Whale''' is the owner and founder of WhaleCorp, a [[Technology company|tech]] [[manufacturing]] [[company]] that creates drones and uses/creates G.E.N.I.E.s to power them. He's also the drone racing competition's financer and promises the pilot of the winning team will become his new apprentice. His headquarters is on Whale Island, where season 1 takes place. In season 2, with the help of the Tikis, Whale seeks to ask a former friend of his, Scarlet, the Rust Queen, to provide enough Aqua crystals to power the Polar Shield and help stop the rising sea levels. He is unsuccessful, however, forcing the Tikis to compete in the Rotor Punch to get them. While Scarlet is not thrilled, she allows him and Neptune to act as commentators for the races of the Rotor Punch.
* '''Neptune''' is the G.E.N.I.E. for Wyatt Whale. Like Oro, Neptune is immune to water because she is also an Aquae. Neptune will usually take charge when Wyatt Whale is away. Neptune is stricter than Wyatt and thus the droners usually take precautions so she won't find out whatever they are scheming behind her back. In season 1, Neptune was annoyed every time the library's windows were broken, a usual occurrence. While more serious than Wyatt, she is not above doing silly things once in a while, such as accepting strange race conditions to get unbreakable glass for the library.

====Team Pirate====
* '''Shark''' is a Shorescrubber and the pilot for the Pirates. He was raised on Paroa by his Mami Kiki and even made a shady deal to protect her sanctuary from being destroyed.
* '''Max''' is a Shorescrubber and the enginerd (and occasional pilot) for the Pirates.
* '''Ed''' is a Shorescrubber and the mechanix for the Pirates.
* '''Patch''' is the G.E.N.I.E. for the Pirates and powers their drone '''Claw'''.

====Team Starfish====
* '''Deejay''' is the pilot for the Starfishes. He is a D.J. and cares more about his popularity than racing.
* '''Debbie''' is the mechanix/enginerd for the Starfishes. In season 2, she left the Starfishes and joined Manta's new team, the Pack, as both an additional enignerd/mechanix and White Tiger's social media manager.
* '''Shiny''' is the G.E.N.I.E. for the Starfishes and powers their drone '''Aquablaster'''. She is self-centred and vain.

====The Tao Twins====
* '''Sun''' is the pilot for the Tao Twins who develops a crush on Corto. He's blind, but the red gem on his forehead allows him to link to Lotus and see through his G.E.N.I.E.'s eyes. Sun seems to know martial arts and used it to defend Wyatt Whale and Corto in season 1's final episode. In season 2, he grows distant from Corto due to the dire situation his island is in, but he agrees that Wyatt Whale's idea to save all Terraqua is needed.
* '''Monk''' is the mechanix/enginerd for the Tao Twins. Though they are close and he loves his brother, Monk sometimes feels overshadowed by his brother. Just like Sun, he knows martial arts. He also teases his brother and Corto about their crush on each other.
* '''Lotus''' is the G.E.N.I.E. for the Tao Twins and powers their drone '''Wushu'''. Lotus is older than most G.E.N.I.E.s. He is wise and considerate. If the bond between Lotus and the twins is jeopardized, the connection can be lost and render him unable to see for Sun.

====Team Bee====
* '''Flora''' is the pilot for the Bees. She has a crush on Enki. Her island thrives on beekeeping, but climate change has caused the bees to be unable to return to their hives, necessitating the assistance of beekeeping drones to help them. She participates in Whale Cup to impress Wyatt Whale with her repurposed beekeeping drone in the hope he can build more.
* '''Fuzz''' is the enginerd for the Bees. He is supportive of Flora and Enki's relationship, but this does not stop him from teasing Flora about it.
* '''Buzz''' is the mechanix for the Bees. He is supportive of Flora and Enki's relationship, but this does not stop him from teasing Flora about it.
* '''Jelly''' is the G.E.N.I.E. for the Bees and powers their drone '''Bumblebee''', which is a repurposed beeekeeking drone.

====Team Siren====
* '''Mina''' is the pilot for the Sirens. She can be mean and vain, but she has to fight for her place. In season 2, it is revealed that her family has been searching for an old relic of Maelstrom that was lost near Tortuga for generations.
* '''Victoria''' is the enginerd for the Sirens. She is from a high society family and is happy with her role in the team, however, this is not how her mother, Lavinia, likes it.
* '''Laurel''' is the mechanix for the Sirens.
* '''Nemo''' is the G.E.N.I.E. for the Sirens and powers their drone '''Nautilus'''. He has a nasty temper.

====Teach Tech====
* Gavinda Teach is the owner and founder of Teach Tech, a tech manufacturing company that creates drones which are powered by nucleum, an element that is toxic to the environment. She is Adam and Hannah's employer. She mainly asks them to spy on WhaleCorp and steal G.E.N.I.E.s to study so she can destroy her competitor.

====The Cold Kings====
* '''Manta''' is the pilot for the Cold Kings as Polaris Academy's representative. Their drone, named Sub-Zero, is provided by Teach Tech. He is aggressive and competitive. He wants to become Wyatt Whale's apprentice so he can convince him to build war drones as he thinks G.E.N.I.E.s are useless. In season 2, Manta dissolved the Cold Kings and started a new team named the Pack, with Shino and Debbie, and a new drone, '''Jaws'''. He has a successful pit fighting career under the name of '''White Tiger''', but enters the Rotor Punch to defeat his former superior and bully, Pavel. He also develops a slight crush on Corto in season 2.
* '''Shino''' is the enginerd/mechanix for the Cold Kings. He also represents Polaris Academy in the drone racing competition. He tries to be the voice of reason to Manta.
* '''Pavel''' is Manta's previous superior at Polaris Academy. He would temporarily replace Manta as the Cold Kings' pilot but would be sent back after losing to the Tikis. He bullied Manta in the academy and the latter could not say anything due to the strict hierarchy of Polaris. The Tikis, Manta and Shino dislike him, but Manta and Shino are forced to go along with whatever he says, until they see an opportunity to get rid of him, by disabling his bombs during the race. In season 2, Pavel returns as the pilot of a new team called the Blizzard Bosses to compete in the Rotor Punch with his drone '''Gungnir'''. He treats his teammate, Cold, badly. He is happy to finally be able to attack drones contrary to Whale Cup where it was forbidden.

====Team Mirage====
* '''Hannah''' is the pilot for the Mirages and is the younger sister of Adam. Their drone, called '''Fatamorgana''', is provided by Teach Tech. She and her brother are working directly for Gavinda Teach to help her uncover to secrets of G.E.N.I.E.s so she can destroy WhaleCorp. However, her hypercompetitiveness and pride often get in the way of their plans and she would rather win races. She returns in season 2 as pilot of a new team called the Falcons to represent her island, the Sun Empire, in the Rotor Punch.
* '''Adam''' is the mechanix/enginerd for the Mirages and is Hannah's older brother. He is more willing to follow Gavinda Teach's orders than his sister, though this is mostly out of fear of defying Gavinda. He acts nicer to lower the vigilance of his opponents. In season 2, he is revealed to be in hiding and working for Pavel under the pseudonym '''Cold'''.

====Tortuga====
* '''Scarlet "the Rust Queen"''' is the strict but fair leader of the Zealots, a Shorescrubber clan that made their home in and around the colossal Aquae Turtle Titan, Bedawang. She was previously a pilot and actually still participates in underground races under the false identity of the '''Aquae Knight'''. She was involved with Wyatt Whale when she was younger, but their relationship soured after he refused to help her by making war drones. This is why she refuses to give him the Aqua crystals he needs for the Polar Shield. However, she does accept the Tikis volunteering to win them in the Rotor Punch and Wyatt taking the role of commentator for the races. She warms up to him as time passes and the droners actually take note that they are happier when they prepare some sort of surprise for the racing teams, like the labyrinth. She eventually warms up to Corto in private, though it does not stop her from punishing her when she gets into trouble. She is also not above using her status to get what she wants, like when she orders a race to be centred on taking a picture of a mysterious creature not many thought real or when she decided the teams were to find an old relic so she could add it to her treasure, ignoring the fact one of the team considered it a national treasure to their home.
* '''Basuki''' is an Aquae who is loyal to Scarlet. He was sent to stop Antaboga and struck an alliance with Scarlet.

====Team Zealot====
* '''Ifa''' is the pilot of the Zealot, Saatchi's younger brother and the Rust Queen's grandson. He flies the drone Squeele. He wants to make his grandmother proud and sometimes thinks he is failing at it which leads him to make life-threatening choices. While he already disliked Corto, as she frequently teased him for his size, her talents being recognized by his grandmother just made him jealous.
* '''Saatchi''' is the enginerd of the Zealots. She is Ifa's older sister and Scarlett's granddaughter. She is more stoic than her brother. She usually tries to reason or calm him down.
* '''Baba''' is the mechanix of the Zealot. He is very old and only speaks in an old Shorescrubber language dialect which sounds like gibberish to most.

====Team Falcon====
* '''Hannah''' returns in season 2 as the pilot of the Falcons with her own G.E.N.I.E., Kami, which was given to her by Wyatt Whale when she returned to the Sun Empire after season 1.
* '''Hilal''' is the enginerd of the Falcons. He tries to reason with Hannah but mostly puts pressure on her.
* '''Lila''' is the mechanix of the Falcons. She is among the youngest participants of the Rotor Punch.
* '''Kami''' is the very young G.E.N.I.E of the Falcons who powers their drone '''Horus'''. Kami appeared in season 1 after Adam and Hannah stole him from WhaleCorp, but he escaped when one of the Tikis' attempts to make modifications to their drone caused a power surge in the hive. But his playfulness eventually led to him bonding with Hannah, and later Oro, with the latter even acting like somewhat of an older brother to him during the Rotor Punch. However, Kami's playfulness can lead to him getting distracted during races.

====Team Plankton====
* '''Lemanja''' is the pilot of the Planktons.
* '''Scylla''' is the mechanix/enginerd of the Planktons.
* '''Luska''' is the G.E.N.I.E. of the Planktons who powers their drone '''Platypulse'''.

====Other====
*'''Big Moe''' is Mouse's father and the leader of the Ruto Clan. He was once a mecanix in his youth like Mouse, but gave it up when he became Chief.
*'''Vago''' is Mouse's older brother and Big Moe's son. He loves his sister and Buzzball, and is very supportive of Corto.
*'''Loopi''' is a champion Buzzball player hailing from Nuï, but left it to pursue her dream. Corto admires her a lot and she was Vago's rival on the island.
* '''Gato''' and '''Emilia Heilani''' are Corto's parents. They have a grocery store on Nuï where Corto used to make drone deliveries. Emilia is a former champion Buzzball player.
*'''Kass Krane''' is a shopowner from Paroa and a recurring antagonist. He returns in season 2, though he has to hide due to his actions during season 1's finale.
*'''Lavinia''' is Victoria's mother. She was a pilot and wished for her daughter to be one, no matter her thoughts on the matter, going as far as pushing Mina out of that role. She returns in season 2 and reveals she, along with Wyatt Whale and Scarlet, the Rust Queen, were known as the Boomers in their youth, named as such because all their races would end up in explosions.
*'''Jeroboam''' is an old Aquae living in the Pagurd titan close to Paroa and Whale Island.
*'''Otaqua''' is the chef and owner of the Pit Stop, a popular restaurant in Tortoga where many of the teams often hang out. He was a participant in the Rotor Punch's final qualification race, but he was eliminated partially due to the Tikis.
*'''Antaboga''' is an Aqua general who wishes to continue to war against the Terraes and attempts to gain control of the Bedawang Titan to do it. He lives in a forbidden area of the Titan due to its intense cold and controls an Aquae knight suit he uses for combat and to patrol his territory. He will also consider any Aquae not willing to exterminate all Terras as a traitor.
