Character

Characters are the NPCs and the player character in the Baldi's Basics series, which can be students, school faculty, and other entities in the Schoolhouse or Super Schoolhouse alike. While almost all of the characters are obstacles to challenge or get away from, Baldi is the only hostile character who possesses the ability to end the game by catching the player themselves in the whole series.
== Description ==
All of the non-player characters are designed as 2D sprites (non-plus), similar to the items and environment objects. For the game's weird bizarre purpose, the characters lack stylistic unity. The characters' sprites are scanned with CGI models, flash animation or 2D drawings, and realistic photography. To fit the game's nostalgia themes, most of them are edited with a dithering effect and a lot of size reduction.

==Trivia==
===General===
*The idea of characters appearing as 3D models, drawings, or photo-cropped may be based on the Cartoon Network animation series The Amazing World of Gumball where it also has a lack of stylistic unity on characters.
*All 3D-model characters (Baldi, It's a Bully, 1st Prize, Mrs. Pomp, The Test, , Cloudy Copter, and Johnny seen from the elevator) are made in a 1999 3D-modeling and animation program called Anim8or.
*All 2D-drawn characters are made in GIMP (Chalkles and Johnny), Paint.NET (Beans), and Microsoft Paint (Playtime).
*Animals are the only characters that are made in pixels.
*Principal of the Thing and The Test are the only characters that are not really seen without the dithering effect.
*All NPCs cannot look through windows, so they cannot see the player through them. There is a poster in the Schoolhouse that explains this. However, the player can see them through windows.
*Out of all the characters in the series, only three have appeared in every single game/demo. Those three characters are Baldi, Principal of the Thing, and It's a Bully.
===Baldi's Basics Plus===
*Sometimes, NPCs can enter a room without opening a standard door or pass through the swinging door. This is especially common when they are faster than the player's running speed.
*Since V0.3, all characters are faster than in prior versions because the aforementioned version increases the overall speed of the game.
===Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash===
*There is a Doppler effect where the characters' voice lines randomly change pitch and are distorted. For instance, it commonly happens with Gotta Sweep when sweeping characters.
===Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered===
*, , and Crazy Baby are featured in the conspiracy board.
