Commander Video

CommanderVideo (sometimes written as COMMANDERVIDEO, or Commander Video with a space, and often referred to as CV for brevity's sake) is the main character and mascot of the BIT.TRIP franchise, created by Choice Provisions (formerly Gaijin Games). Each game is told from his point of view as he grows and develops as a person. Though despite this, he himself is only playable in Runner, FATE, Runner2 and Runner3.
It was largely believed that CommandgirlVideo was his romantic interest. Choice Provisions have since clarified that the two are simply good friends.
==Design==
CommanderVideo was deliberately made to invoke the design philosophy of first generation video game consoles, namely the Atari 2600. His appearance is very simplistic, even moreso than the graphical styles of the 8-Bit era. He is a black rectangle with spindly pixelated arms and legs and a small, rectangular white visor positioned perpendicular to his body.
==Personality==
CV is a complicated individual, always changing from game to game. In BEAT, he was dim and uncoordinated as an infant. In CORE, he slowly gained a sense of independence and self that enabled him to venture forth in the intimidating world he lived in. In VOID, he initially let his ego run freely, but when he realised his selfish behavior negatively affected others, he learned to be more humble. In Runner, his personality remains mostly unchanged, and he goes on an adventure with his newfound friends, however, he is eventually faced with the reality that some people don't want to be friends, and only wish to bring harm to others. In FATE, he has to come to grips with that fact, and he develops a consuming anger and ultimately sacrifices himself to ensure the death of an adversary. In FLUX, CV is dead, and his spirit has to come to grips with the finality of his actions in life, and he thus learns to let go of the things that connected him to the living world.
In Runner2 and Runner3, CV is mostly unchanged from his persona featured in the original Runner, being lively, adventurous, and always willing to lend a helping hand.
