BASICS
Designation : Anthem
Nicknames: Rhapsody, Technosound, synthetic
Gender : Mech
Faction : Autobot
Occupation : Entertainer, musician, warrior, information gatherer
Personality :
Above everything else, Anthem is a kind sparked mech. Old and experienced, he's full of hope and his spark is driven by music. He's a singer and knows how to play multiple instruments professionally. His voice has betrayed him in the past, leading to the death of a few of his symbiotes, reason why he is voluntarily mute. Except for when he privately sings for close friends. Otherwise, he isn't quiet, but he uses the voice of his friend Echo. A bird who perches on his shoulder and voices his thoughts. What often leads to confusion about Anthem's gender, since he's a mech but the bird's voice is her own, and she's a femme. This way his thoughts pass through two minds before being spoken and they can be more controlled.
Besides his music, Anthem knows how to defend himself. He's got good reflexes and while he's by no means an expert fighter, mainly because of a lack of interest towards warmongering, he needs to be able to defend himself to keep his symbiotes safe.
That is, and will always be his main driveforce. His own safety and that of his linked. He does not care much for factions, at the time he joined the autobots because they had the better odds and were kind to his friends. It wouldn't be past him to change sides should that change, though.

Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
Transformable battle axe: A double sided axe modded to also become a guitar when not fighting. It could be modded to coat the blades in a layer of energy in order to improve penetration and burn damage. But at the moment that is lacking.
Standard energy SMG: Improved and modded blaster that fires energy shots, it's rate of fire is very high. (See Hornet SMG from Mass Effect Andromeda for reference.)
Twin energy blades: Two energy blades that come from his forearm and are an extension of it, making it easy to fight with them. Their penetration and burn damage is very high, but the wounds made with them don't bleed.
Gadgets :
Transformable electro-bass: Musical instrument that can be modded to sound like several other string instruments from all over cybertron, as well as become a battle axe for self defense.
Various electro-bass mods and parts to change the sound.
Buffer
Comm. Device
holomap projector
microsized first aid kit for symbiotes
night vision and heat signature vision visor
WinderSynther: Flute-like musical instrument
Abilities :
He can play a wide variety of instruments.
Mass displacement: He can change his size, since between his two alt modes there is a huge difference in size. His spark allows for him to change size at will. The bigger he becomes the more it hurts, if he goes beyond his usual size. He can only downsize until he's 10 feet tall. Not smaller unless using the CD player alt mode.
Listening to spark resonances: He can listen to the different resonance of each spark in short range, usually taking note of it and the energy signatures in order to recognise each mech regardless of any frame changes.
Symbiotic connection: Each of the symbiotes he has a connection to grant him a specific improvement in exchange for protection
Whisht: Massive memory storage capacity
Echo: She is Anthem's voice. And gives him the capability of modulating it and sound like whoever he wants to as long as she has heard the voice before.
Song: The voice and lyrics to Anthem's music, he records every verbal and written interaction he has and stores them all for future references.
OTHER
History: N/A
Strengths :
-He's got his symbiotes and perfect synchronization with every one of them
-He's perfectly capable of self defense
-His overall optimistic attitude and hopeful nature make him a trustworthy ally who most are
happy to have around.
Weaknesses :
- If he lost any of his symbiotes, he would be effectively crippled for a while.
- Because he puts his own safety above others, included groups or the greater good, he can be problematic if working in a group with several other mecha. Whose lives or the mission itself he will never value over his own.
- Because of his nature, Anthem can be rather emotional and he'll let his spark get the best of him. What can lead to emotional outbursts or lashing out at allies should they put his symbiotes and friends in danger.
SAMPLE RP
Anthem waved his mate goodbye as he continued working on the furs, humming quietly. Whisht liked the mechlings, and the other discs, too. He did not yet know them that well. But Soundwave already had several and not that much dock space left. Perhaps he should offer them shelter.
Pulsewave nodded and walked back towards the rest of the supplies team with Trailfire.
"Here we are... lets go!" He said, as Blitzwing picked him up, bridal style, what made the medic snort with amusement. Of course.
Meanwhile, Astrotrain picked up Trailfire. Not Bridal style, simply hanging him over his shoulder as if he were a sack or bolts. But more gently, because he wasn't a sack of bolts. They took off towards the city, flying at high speed over the first layer of the atmosphere, it would not take them more than half a breem.
