Appearance

---

Chord's head is inspired off of the Playskool Cassette Recorder, taking on green as the main color rather than red, and the microphone attaching a bit closer to the back. The cord connecting said microphone is tangled. He has yellow blush marks under his eyes, as well as yellow hinges meant to mimic piercings on the bottom of the "lid" and dark green marks meant to resemble stubble. His body is similar to that of a doll, following the same white/green color scheme with visible, rigid joints. He wears a golden F/bass clef (𝄢) necklace and a yellow buttonup with rainbow music notes patterned on it under a cropped brown jacket and gloves. He also wears flared blue jeans with some detailing and a brown belt with a golden beamed note buckle over it, as well as brown heeled boots with yellow laces.

Personality

---

Chord can appear a bit standoffish to some, and would sometimes try to appear "cooler" than he was when meeting new people, but it quickly fell away pretty much every time.

He was quite the romantic, often fully immersing himself in the world and people around him. He highly valued connections with people, and often fostered said connections through his music, whether it be sharing his own or others songs or teaching what he knows to other people.

Sometimes he got a bit in over his head with the ideas he had, leaving himself frustrated, but he finds it difficult to stay upset for long with the friends he has.

Extra / Trivia

---

• Chord plays the guitar, drums, and sings. He's also decently versed in the piano.
• His head functions just as a regular cassette recorder would, and he puts his microphone on a mic stand while recording his music. The cord of his microphone is a bit longer for this purpose, but it's also grown tangled due to him messing with it randomly or kids getting it twisted up.
• Rewinding makes him a little dizzy.
• Has an extensive collection of music (on cassette, of course). In his free time, if he isn’t working on his own music, he often plays some of the songs he owns and “does karaoke” with himself. (Sometimes just mouths over the vocal tracks, but sometimes sings along too. Normally evolves from the former to the latter). He also tends to idly hum to himself.
• His favorite songs are Come and Get Your Love and Southern Nights, which he'd sometimes play for hours.
• His favorite animals are ferrets.
• He knows bits and pieces of Spanish and French, mainly learning it from Gami, but he self-taught Spanish whenever he could.
• As much as he'd never say it, he hates and actively fears silence.

Relationships

---

Romantic

Andy — still working on this one sry.. but they're gay.. waow..

Close

Romeo — For a long time, Romeo was one of the few people he genuinely trusted and clicked with. They had a tight-knit work relationship; that being Chord would often help with the audio setups, music, sound effects etc. for Romeo's shows, and the two would often toss ideas back and forth, but they also spent a lot of time together outside of work.

Friendly

Solar — Unsurprisingly, Solar was a big cheerleader of Chord's endeavours. An avid music enjoyer herself, she never hesitated to break into song and dance, especially having memorized many of the lyrics and choreographies in Chords catalogue.

Neutral

Bonnie - Neutral - While Bonnie is a part of the troublemakers, he always found their pranks funnier than the other two, even if they were at his own expense. He also weirdly felt that they understood each other on some level, but it never really became anything.

Gumby - Neutral - Even if what Gumby got up to was generally less harmful than Bonnie, it felt a lot more annoying. The way she acted so nonchalant about everything also bothered him for some reason.

+ Loopsy, Melodii, Debbie, Hoppy, Claws, Daffy, Ben (details WIP)

Mixed

Gami — The two got along fine. Two technological beings side by side in the funhouse makes perfect sense! They did have things to bond over, and they were often put on promos together, shown as friends... Ultimately, though he honored his relationship with Gami greatly, he could never shake the feeling of jealousy when he saw her. Gami's creation brought on the eyes of another toy company, who offered a partnership to Charles, and as such Chord was made. However, due to many factors out of his control, Chord suffered a bit less popularity than Gami did, feeling a bit distraught with the loneliness it caused him. He knows it wasn't her fault either, but the feeling remains.

Negative

Happy — One of Happy's favorite hobbies was messing up his recordings through... Varyingly drastic means.
