Character Sheet for Ty Roland
Species
Cat-derived Shamichoro + SoundFont-san
Character Description
This is a sona consisting of an anthropomorphic soundbank, with its most beautiful patch being a Shamisen (Japanese instrument). In Japanese mythology, a Shamichoro is a haunted Shamisen, and shamisens in the olden days used cat leather (which is no longer used). So thus this SoundFont-san's sona is a feline to reference that.
Personality
They have a very dreamy personality, and tend to be happy with whatever is thrown at them under most circumstances. They often try to enhance what they run into when possible. They have their head in the clouds and are also neurodiverse and plural. They aren't a fan of corporate work, instead choosing to be self-employed making music for a living, and doing so very well. They are very creative.
Likes/Dislikes
Likes: Most MIDI files, especially Shamisen, classical, orchestral, cinematic, rock, and such, especially General MIDI.
Dislikes: MIDIs loud enough to clip (tons of notes, like 10K), MT32 MIDIs, FB01 MIDIs, and formerly XG MIDIs.

This sona was done as a "why not" based on Tyroland being splittable into a name of Ty Roland, and then it all went from there.
