**Hexagon** is a male object student seenin the *Virtually Gifted* cartoon series*.* His boring ass is currently competing on Hmm Maple Syrup, but not many people seem to notice or acknowledge his worth to the narrative at hand. His notably inexpressive and deadpan voice that defines him is provided by freshyvo.

## Appearance

Hexagon, true to his very obvious and literal name, takes the form of an simplistic and orange colored hexagon that appears to be made out of some kind of plastic, given the texture and shine. This trait seems to imply that he's probably one of those elementary school plastic shapes from those geometry boxes found in classrooms. His asset is somewhat flat and lacks most types of shading and depth on purpose, which is a trait that's pretty fitting of his flat and indifferent personality that he's known for.

Hexagon's facial expression is typically read as either that of a neutral or bored expression whenever he's shown on screen. These emotions, or lack there of to be more exact, do seem to serve to complement his apathetic and uninterested personality of not really feeling anything good or bad in the strange life that he leads, so it's logical and makes sense to the narrative at hand.

## Personality

Hexagon's character is noted to be quite bland and monotone on the most basic of principles, and is regarded as one of the most boring characters in the entire series, if not the most so. Hexagon's character writing intentionally makes it so that he's an emotionless polygon that has no interests or hobbies, nor even a proper backstory that could explain why he's the way he is. He's just there, and doesn't really do much to serve or damn objectkind; it's made somewhat unknown if he's even aware of his own uselessness. Hexagon's dry voice performance is also readable as being considerably slow and dry, being almost robotic in its delivery of the various lines that he spouts. This is used for straightman humor taken to the nth degree where something ridiculous happens and Hexagon's reaction is nonexistent and completely absent in an attempt to subvert audience expectation.

One special trait about Hexagon that further suggests his blandness is that he lacks the ability to show any type of anger, sadness, happiness, or any other kind of strong emotion in any situation that one would normally be present. When he is wronged, he would just calmly say that the situation he is in sucks, and when sometime good comes his way, he calmly shows joy by saying “yay” rather dryly and with a completely neutral expression. If he's bored, he's just being himself. He couldn't care less about stuff. His house could be on fire and all he would say is "oh.. that's unfortunate.", like he just dropped a coin. This noteworthy and almost impressive trait of Hexagon not giving a fuck about anything going on in the world portrays him as a rather uncaring character who doesn't really enjoy or dislike anything, but it does give the polygon the benefit of being able to handle dangerous situations and stay level-headed in times of crisis and uncertainty. The question still remains if he'd act correctly in a situation, though.

Because he is so boring and pitifully tedious in his mannerisms and behavioral patterns, most people dislike Hexagon and find him abhorrent to deal with in class, insulting him and calling him the "orange loser". In the classroom, hallways, or even during certain assignments, Hexagon is seen usually doing a random unrelated task, or going on a tangent about unimportant matters like math or science, further showcasing his sheer uselessness and utter incompetence to anyone he interacts with in life. To give the polygon some credit, he does sometimes have the solution to the problems he gets himself into, so his brain is not shown to be completely stupid, but it still seems like something's off or missing when it comes to his persona.

To his credit, though..Hexagon does have a bit of a oracle and all-knowing nature that's tied into his character. He happens to have predictions, and may know something about peculiar stuff that's going on in Mcfinny Public School. This fact is vaguely suggested and supplemented by how he sometimes seems to be watching something outside, like a window, or the ceiling at rare instances. When he is asked about why he's looking outside or somewhere else during the story's events, Hexagon usually just says "Oh, it's nothing." or "Don't worry about it.", but those lines are said with slightly more emotion than anything else he says. This serves in implying he doesn't like talking about whatever he knows, enough to make him almost break his character of just not caring. He also occasionally says lines of self awareness that border onto sounding like stupid conspiracy theories, but end up actually having some basis in reality.

Hexagon also has weird behavioral patterns that do indicate some personality. He often seems to do nothing that is important regularly, stares at people for no good reason, and counts things that often shouldn't be counted. It shows him as boring, but also a bit intrusive. Overall, Hexagon is a boring character with a boring outlook on life and a boring reason to exist. Is there any more to define him? Maybe. Or maybe not. You decide, reader and watcher of the upcoming Virtually GIfted cartoon series...

## Trivia

* Hexagon sometimes counts the exact minutes of a clock directly as an occasional running gag, and this strange behavioral pattern is done to make him seem repetitive and unengaging as a character.
	+ This means he'd say "6:23...." and then, in the next minute, he'd say "6:24.." in the background. It serves to show him as a strange little man.
	+ Sometimes he paces around walking just to tell the time every crossing minute.

* Hexagon also does word puzzles and crosswords as a rare running gag. Sometimes what he's talking about during the puzzle he's filling out has to do with an event going on in the episode as a tongue-in-cheek joke of absurdity.
* Hexagon is showcased as being someone who's very tolerant to pain, and can lose a limb without screaming or even batting much of an eye.
* Hexagon is stated to have his very own website, but shadily declines to give the link to anyone, which shows us he has his secrets, and that he has the ability to code.
* Hexagon views germs as "okay, I guess.", and doesn't seem to care to get dirty; if someone sprayed mud or trash on him, he would barely flinch at that act. This trait of not caring about hygiene bothers the hell out of Thermometer, and, as a result, views Hexagon as a walking illness of filth.
* Hexagon's favorite number is stated to be 1,023,232,232,123 for completely no reason at all.
	+ It's the longest favorite number of a character in any of the other.
	+ He also has a favorite color, which is simply called "alice blue".

* Hexagon is *not* made out of paper, despite appearing as a thin object. He is actually confirmed to be made out of plastic, since he is meant to represent those plastic shapes at elementary schools.
* Hexagon is stated to be good at math. This quirk could be related to the fact that he's based on one of those aforementioned elementary school plastic shapes.
* Hexagon is the only character in all of Virtually Gifted that has the letter X in his name.
	+ His name is also the only one that starts with the letter H.
	+ He is also the only character that's purely a polygon. Or is he?
* Hexagon originally came from THOAB. He is the ninth character to be from this cancelled series of the creator's, and also the second newest of the bunch to be added to VG.
	+ Paddleball, Copyright, Coffee Cup, Baggy, Prize Box, and Origami are the other eight characters with this particular background of history.
	+ In the scrapped project, he seems to have had the same personality that he has in this series for the most part, with major tweaks of course, but there was a difference in his appearance, in that he was originally just a black outline in terms of visual design. This vision of his look was changed when making this show in order to give Hexagon a bit more depth and likability in presentation.
	+ His personality in Virtually Gifted was made into someone who's more mysteriously absent in personality than just doing nothing.

* Hexagon is regarded as being the newest student added to the Virtually Gifted cast.
* Hexagon hates crowds, and sometimes exhibits agoraphobia, having a desire to be by himself when he's like this.
	+ It's the only time he shows any proper emotion.
* Hexagon likes Mondays. This fact is an obvious reference to how boring he is, since only old people would like Mondays.
	+ That being said, the Celebration also likes Mondays, and he's always excited and happy go lucky.
* Hexagon has a family, according to him.
	+ Hexagon's siblings aren't planned on being shown in the narrative, so their personalities are largely unknown at this time. It could be possible that they are all like him, given his stoic lines of neutrality when concerning them, but nothing's ever set in stone. What is known is that Hexagon has 4 siblings: an octagon, pentagon, heptagon and a decagon. The ages of each shape are completely unknown.
* Hexagon has a favorite room in all of Mcfinny Public School, which is the janitor's closet. Why he likes spending time in there is unknown.
* Hexagon might have some things inside him...
