**Votebrackety** is a male nonobject student seen in the *Virtually Gifted* cartoon series. He takes the position of team captain on Hmm Maple Syrup. Votebrackety's voice isheard as text to speech.

## Appearance

Votebrackety's name is an oddity, but it does explain who he is. He resembles a white square with a large grey letter A inside of it, surrounded by black brackets. This is because Votebrackety is literally a voting comment, as is stated by his title.

Votebrackety is constantly smiling for the most part, even stupidly, for long durations he's on the screen.

## Personality

Votebrackety is considered a robot and not a true object, unlike most of the other characters taking VR's course. That being said, this doesn't mean he's entirely emotionless and uncaring. Votebrackety is actually shown to be a kind and noble person who believes in striving for the greater good. However, he does sometimes whine when things don't go his way, showing him to be selfish at various moments of the series.

Since he's a robot, Votebrackety doesn't seem to fully understand how emotions work and this can cause problems for him to relate to others in certain instances. As a team leader, Votebrackety does his best to lead properly, but can be seen as a slacker on occasion, sometimes making stupid decisions out of laziness mixed with some neglect for common sense.

One of VB's aspirations is becoming co host (or teaching assistance) of the classroom, but VR keeps shooting him down and refuses letting him do so. This is kind of disadvantageous because Votebrackety has the ability to see how the real world views the series. The fact that he keeps asking VR this question in spite of VR's rejections shows Votebrackety as stubborn and unwilling to hear a no.

Overall, Votebrackety is a decent individual who struggles with viewing reality accurately due to his programming.

## Abilities

Being a vote comment and a robot, Votebrackety has strange mannerisms.

* **Ability To See The Real World:** Votebrackety, since he is a vote comment, has the inherent ability to know and see how the world receives Virtually Gifted. He doesn't access this resource of knowledge very often because he thinks doing this is cheating.
* **Breaking The Fourth Wall and Noticing Glitches:** Votebrackety knows he isn't real, and also shows awareness of how VR's unstable influence affects the world around him. He doesn't comment on this much because people would just think he's nuts.
* **B Mode:** If he turns the A on his body into a B..bad things could happen. What these bad things are will be revealed later.
* **Displaying Text:** Votebrackety can display text on his body to say random jokes, but he can also use this feature to make plans. This ability originally belonged to a cut character named Message, but since that character is no longer in the show, Votebrackety now gained this ability. Aside from making plans with this ability, he uses the text function to show jokes.
