Charger

Charger is the nonbinary teaching assistant seen in the Virtually Gifted cartoon series, and can be considered the secondary antagonist of the series. He takes the role of the secondary helper in the challenges and assignments Virtual Reality Headset proposes for each of the students in his Virtually Gifted Program, but his job of dealing with VR does run into snags sometimes. His charming and friendly voice is provided by.

Appearance
Charger takes the form of a dark green charger that's used to provide power to certain mobile electronic devices. He sometimes has a charger wire attached to him, but he is usually seen without one, and feels most comfortable without it stuck into him.

Charger usually has a calm looking smile on his face when xe's viewed on screen, or a nervous one depending on the situation.

Personality
Compared to his nearly insane work partner VR Headset, Charger is a lot nicer of a person and is much more friendly to most of the students around him, rarely showing aggression to any of them for any reason. This is because doing so goes against his life motto. He can be somewhat corny and immature at times, making strange jokes and acting "hip" and "funny" in an attempt to sound cool and relatable to teens, which usually backfires and makes him look like a "boomer" to the rest of the group. Charger doesn't seem to mind that name though, at least not openly.

That being said, Charger is also displayed to have a more soft and sensitive side, as he tends to get caught in the trap of caring a little bit too much about what other people in his social circles happen to think of him. This care for his own image can cause him to cry at some parts of the narrative for comedic effect. That being said, despite VR treating him kind of badly, Charger takes it on the chin and seldom gets upset at the headset's acts of cruelty, but he does seem to get bothered by it, which may get explored into later. He also does treat VR badly to an extent, being a bit of an archnemesis to him and fighting for comedy's sake.

Charger, as a teacher of many, is shown to be odd and eccentric, yet well meaning and noble, never seen resorting to violence to solve his trials and tribulations. Instead, Charger tries using kindness and logic in order to get things done in a calm and engaging way. He even likes making the lessons he helps direct to be fun and exciting for the students to enjoy, implying he's more lax and reserved. As a result, his social standing among the classroom group is considerably higher than that of VR Headset, and VR is a bit aware of this. Charger tries to make friends with several characters he meets, leading to varying levels of success and failure, depending on who's the character in question,

Further showcasing his worth to the dichotomy to the show, Charger also shows more planning and organization skills than VR, and has an easier time dealing with bad circumstances than the former. This ability to handle stressful and negative situations serves to showcase Charger as a rather adaptable and somewhat intelligent individual whenever the time calls for such a person to appear. Charger is also more emotionally stable and more capable of talking about his feelings when the time calls for it, showing that the charger boy views himself with a fair level of respect and understanding when compared to the former device. That being said, Charger can lose sight and get sidetracked when searching for himself.

Overall, Charger is best described as a corny and lovable oaf who's sensitive and charming, and tries his best to make the Mcfinny Public School experience an enjoyable one for everyone. Will this be easy? Or even possible? Stay tuned, you little biscuit, you! For the answer just might make ya giggle!

Abilities
Being a demigod, Charger has some powerful abilities that he can use in his day to day life. That being said, he doesn't often use these powers for evil, showing the device to be pretty calm and restrained from doing evil acts.
 * Rapid Construction: Charger has the ability to build things extremely fast, with little resources needed. This shows him to be a very powerful engineer.
 * Great Understanding Of Technology: Charger possesses a wide understanding of tech and science, being a device xemself. Xe uses this to build devices easily and effectively, which is aided by xyr former skill of constructing items and buildings rapidly.
 * Regeneration: If harmed or "killed", Charger can hop right up in mere seconds, almost as if nothing happened to him. This quality is great at showing him to be a hardy and difficult to defeat individual.
 * Channeling Power And Electricity: Charger's core generates electricity when he is angered or otherwise stressed, and if he uses his cord, Charger can manipulate it like a staff and use it to blast beams of electricity that can harm objects or power other things. He rarely does this in the series, due to being a pacifist in his own words. He can even extend lightning from his hands without the use of his cable.

Coverage

Trivia

 * Charger is shown to be smaller than a fair bit of the characters in the narrative. Even VR towers over them. This aspect of him is somewhat acknowledged for comedic purposes, and it shows him as being a "short genius"


 * VR Headset shows annoyance at Charger on quite a few occasions, but sometimes seems to like xyr presence. Charger is mostly fond of VR and seems to be close to them, yielding different reactions from VR depending on their mood at the time. That being said, that does slip into more of a feud as time passes.
 * Charger was invented, like VR was, and has a human inventor that he views as a parent of sorts, but he doesn't know where she is posted at these days. This contrasts VR, who talks to their "father" regularly and secretly hates him (implying the relationship is tense)


 * Charger is noted to be one of the LGBT characters of the series, being nonbinary (specifically a demiman/demiboy) and using either he/him or xey/xem pronouns to refer to himself. He is also stated to be andro-romantic, or only into people who are masculine/men. These traits are slightly similar to that of VR Headset. This commonality seems to indicate that the two may have a bit more in common than previously thought.


 * Charger is one of the few characters in the series that curses. He rarely does this, however, claiming that "naughty words make one a naughty kid".
 * Charger is revealed to come from the Derzanos, along with VR Headset. He also knows Derzani fluently, but seldom speaks it.
 * Charger's favorite season happens to be spring.
 * Charger is one of the few characters that seems to like Viewer's personality, and the two are on good terms.
 * Charger mentions having the ability to fight anyone he wanted to, indicating that he has at least some magical powers like VR. Charger, however, remarks that he is a pacifist, believing that fighting doesn't solve one's issues.
 * Charger has an ex that he doesn't like to talk about for reasons yet to be covered.
 * Charger avoids swimming for obvious reasons. He also hates water.
 * Charger likes batteries.
 * Charger's character kind of reflects X from BFB.
 * Charger's design used to be a lighter green and more square. He also had a second port of a USB.
