Baldi

Baldi is the main titular antagonist in the indie horror game series Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning. His hay days, he was popular as a sexyman for his intimidating and scary demeanour in the original game, but with newer instalments/updates released, this has died out with a rework on his personality, now becoming friendly and only pursuing the player as a game of hide and seek. As a result, he has become more of a sillyman nowadays, albeit more contained within the fandom.
==Background Information==
Baldi is the first character the player is exposed to in the game. He greets the player and encourages them to solve math problems to get notebooks needed to complete the game. Upon the player getting a question incorrect (which is forced if it doesn't occur naturally), his friendly demeanor drops immediately, instead becoming an obstacle and threat to the player. He keeps this behavior up until the player either gets caught by him or beats the game.

==Archetypes==
===Big Ol' Eyes===
Some promotional artworks for the game depict him with incredibly stretched out eyes.
=== Distinctive Voice ===
In the original game he has this bland goofy voice to him, but from Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered onwards, it sounds far more emotional and friendly in tone.
===Stylistic Suck/Retro===
The whole game is based off 90s edutainment games with the poorly 3D modelled appearances of the characters.
=== Mad Scientist ===
He attempts to build a shrinking machine and test drives it on himself... it goes about as well as you'd expect.
=== Quotable Catchphrase(s) ===
*"Oh, hi! Welcome to my schoolhouse!"
*"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU FOUND ALL SEVEN NOTEBOOKS! NOW ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS... GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! HEH HEH HEH!"
==Fanon Tropes==
===Fanon Splintering===
With very little info to work off of back then, nearly every artist's interpretation of Baldi's personality varied wildly, from having him be reclusive, to short-tempered, to a completely unhinged maniac.
===Theme Song===
While fanmade, songs such as "Basics in Behavior" by The Living Tombstone and OR30, "You're Mine" by DAGames and "Every Door" by CG5 and Caleb Hyles are often associated with Baldi.
