Bassdrive

Leader
Mid Bass, Main Rapper, Main Dancer




Sings all the heavy, growly mid basses, such as wobble and vowel. Likes to think of bass drops as rapping, though he does take care of any actual rapping and adlibs, as rapidly spoken or "hype" words are his responsibility. Vocal powerhouse with quite the range, and the ability to make many, many simultaneous sounds.

Can sing. His raspy synthsong has a much more forceful, driving quality to it than that of Synthlead and Synthwave, but is generally less smooth and sweet-sounding than theirs.

His dancing is very powerful and flashy, and he takes full advantage of being able to make precise robotic movements to match the energy of his bass. Even when he's not center stage, he loves to make energetic, exaggerated movements that draw the crowd's eyes to him.

Likes to make chirps and growls of manipulated bass; does not speak with words unless he must. On rare occasion, he will drop the robotic filter when speaking. His voice is just as dark and gruff without it.

His thylacine serves as a visualizer. When he speaks, cyan stripes appear along his spine and grow in length according to the sounds he makes. The intensity of their glow indicates his volume. When he is silent, only the mask on his face is visible. The lightning markings on his wings occasionally flash to his singing, typically to rough, rapid sounds. Threads of lightning may string themselves between his wings, adding their own buzzing music. Additionally, his blue lionfish markings can glow in the dark. His underbelly stripes flash in a wave-like rippling motion, starting from the throat, to match the vibrations of his bass. His teeth markings and the rings on his arms and legs can glow brightly like his eyes and thylacine, while the rest of the patterns tend to have a softer glow. The blue teeth that line the outsides of his lips are all markings save for the two large fangs that protrude from his mouth.

Bassdrive is the creator of the Clan's sonic weapons, and has taken charge of the creation of other music androids, named Masters (as in master recordings).

The Masters are able to wirelessly communicate in order to sync up their instruments and create songs. They can rapidly suggest, improve upon, and agree on upcoming melodies as they are singing. The songs, once finished, are stored in each individual android's sound library. Though they can store the complete song, or any sound they choose to, they cannot sing an instrument if it is not theirs. However, any song or sound can be downloaded from (or uploaded to) them by plugging cables into their electronic brains. These cables are fashioned to look like headphones or earbuds, and they are plugged into the ears of each android, which cleverly hide the secret ports. It is not uncommon to see the androids wear them as accessories, as they often share new songs and sounds with each other.

All of the Masters have glowing eyes and glowing markings of some sort. They are also all capable of normal speech (and singing), though some prefer to make their voices sound more robotic. They can all, however, suppress these features in order to pass as normal dragons if they so desire.

As well as creating more Masters like himself, Bassdrive has discovered a way to fuse his sonic weaponry into skeletal battle androids, called Blasters. They possess large reservoirs of specialized, rechargeable magic that allows sound to be used as a versatile weapon. AlphaOne and AlphaTwo are the largest and most powerful of the Blasters, and smaller, more mobile Blasters are on their way.

Blasters, when in use, are able to receive wireless signals from each singing Master and combine them. Then, using a different magic effect for each Master, they blast out the combined instrument streams as complete songs, which are saved in their song libraries for ease of future use. Songs can be uploaded or downloaded in the same way as Masters, using the special headphones or earbuds. Blasters, being more like magical megaphones than electronic instruments, cannot produce any original sounds themselves aside from normal speech, which they generally do not use. Fortunately, they may play songs without applying magic to them, and they are often seen having fun at raves, where they can easily take the place of speakers.

The colors of the Blasters denote their different abilities. The Blue line carries all magical effects associated with EDM, while the Red line carries all effects associated with Metal. A new Purple line (the Bassline, he likes to call it) is in development, which will have the same magic effects as the bass cannons. These same colors can be seen in the Masters, and is a pretty good way to tell what kinds of sounds may come out of them.

Although not finished with the current Blaster projects, he is already finalizing designs for multi-purpose Blasters, which will be able to utilize all three types of magic and will subsequently have all three colors on display. Though versatile, he says they will have to consume massive amounts of energy to equal the output of any three Blue, Red, or Purple Blasters, and will need to rest far more often as a result.

A prime example of the type of songs the Master Blasters create:
Riot - Overkill
