Claudius "Claude" Bates

What Claudius Bates lacks in musical ability, he more than makes up for with sheer obnoxiousness. As he fails to compose anything that sounds even slightly original or palatable, aside from the fact that he samples all of his own violin playing for his so-called "classical hardcore", Claude relies on his terrible outfit and personality to gain attention and adoring fans (the majority of which are, let's face it, probably bots). For some reason, this hasn't stopped him in his pursuit of mediocrity, and he in fact takes pride in how much of a clout-chaser he is, possibly to make up for the fact that his mother doesn't love him or something of that kind.

Some animals have warning colors to show that they're incredibly poisonous and should best be avoided. If you could not tell, Claude's outfit serves the exact same purpose. Every assumption you can make about his personality at first glance is probably correct. Not only is he facetious and arrogant, but he's also an eboy, and voted most likely to be the Tumblr sexyman of the ASLH cast 3 years running. This all said, at times, he proves to be more perceptive and capable than he lets on… although he pretty much immediately tosses it aside to devote 100% of his energy to being a public nuisance. Which is lonely, sure, but hey - gotta do what you gotta do for the adoring masses!
