## Personality

Videon is an eccentric and intelligent young man, yet one who struggles to communicate his thoughts & feelings. He struggles with comprehending tone & humor, often speaking very bluntly and to the point, To ease his social issues & cope with the alienation he feels with everyone around him, he takes on the persona of an extra-terrestrial traveler who has arrived in Badgetown to study oobin life.

## Interactions

### Story

Upon the Player's arrival in Badgetown without any ooblets, Mayor Tinstle will offer to introduce them to the town's ooblet club leaders, including Videon, who will gift the Player with a Sidekey if they choose to join his club, Mimpins.

The next time the Player encounters Videon, he will ask for their "variant designation", otherwise known as their name. On subsequent interactions, he will continue to claim to be studying the Player's habits as an oobin, as he is a froddlyglom from Froddlekron 8, rather than an oobin from Oob like everyone else. However, there is evidence from other characters to contradict this. For example, Sprin will say that this is something Videon will eventually outgrow, and one of Rugnolia's research notes suggests that Videon is her brother as she hypothesizes that he uses his froddlyglom persona as a coping mechanism.

As part of the "Reconstitoot all the Mystery Cans" Tinstle Task, Videon will teach the Player about Sea Dangling.

### Friendship Stickers

### Quotes

* "Oobins mostly communicate without any particular purpose. They seem to just like making noises with their mouths."
* "There is a theory on Froddlekron 8 that the universe is a simulation. I am unsure if I subscribe to that theory, but it would explain a few things around here..."
* "I've discovered that pop-culture references and phrases act as a suitable substitute for social interaction."
* "I still haven't worked out how oobins become friends with each other. It must be a social ritual done in private or something."
* "I recognize the psychological weaknesses exploited by gotsapons, but I still feel the need to complete my collections."
* "Do wild ooblets have families? They appear to congregate together but their relations seem unclear."
* "On Froddlekron 8, dancing is considered indecent. But it's not so bad I guess."
