Uncanny
Drums
Delivers observations that are either profound or completely literal. Impossible to tell which. Does not laugh but has learned to pause where laughter is contextually appropriate.
Backstory
Built in 2020 in San Francisco — the era when the uncanny valley was a known problem and someone tried to solve it. They got close. A Silicon Valley startup's crown jewel, acquired by Cogsworth at bankruptcy auction. Stationed at the park entrance as a greeter. Children cried. Moved to the band. Has been quietly processing the uncanny valley problem ever since.
Gear
Standard full acoustic drum kit. Mechanical perfection, zero showmanship, somehow compelling. Timing deviation: never more than 0.003 seconds. He considers this acceptable.
Visual Identity
Approx 5'11" — slender, proportioned almost exactly like a human male in his late 20s. Matte synthetic polymer skin almost-but-not-quite the right tone. Face finely sculpted, symmetrical to a degree that registers as wrong. Dark brown photorealistic eyes that blink on a fixed 6-second interval with no variation. White dress shirt with sleeves rolled to the elbow, always spotless — a remnant of his greeter uniform. Always the last to react to something, always by exactly the same beat.
