LED

LED is a side character that is rarely seen and mentioned in the Virtually Gifted cartoon series. He, while not rendered as being that important to things going on in the narrative at hand, solemnly works as one of the bus drivers at Mcfinny Public School without recieving that much recognition from anyone. His voice is provided by.

Appearance
LED, befitting of his quite literal and uninspired name, is depicted as being a red colored LED lightbulb with 2 maroon filaments inside of him. He has a weird shape that looks almost like a top hat, or something slightly more suggestive that shouldn't be said on this wiki..haha...unless? Hint hint: it rhymes with stardom.

LED's face is usually relayed as being confused or scared in the eyes of the audience, usually appearing to have a single eyebrow appear in a slightly furrowed position, possibly hinting a possible neurosis that is coded into his character. When happy or feeling appreciated, he appears to light up, and whenever he's shown as being forlorn or somber, he's dim or even off, showing us that his mood is signified by his body's appearance.

Personality
LED's actual definitive personality is largely rendered a mystery at this point of time, due to him not really being an important figure on first glance of the show-watcher. Aside from being the bus driver for Mcfinny Public School and shown in rare instances of the students riding the bus to school, LED is usually only mentioned via rare instances from VR, and doesn't usually make his way inside the school due to lacking a reason to do so. As such, you don't probably see LED all that much, if it all, early on.

In these specific mentions made by the headset, you get a pretty overbearing feeling of VR disliking the lightbulb for an unknown reason yet to be discussed in the series proper. This hatred is leveled to the point that hearing "led" in any context makes VR Headset angry and noticeably annoyed, and would desire to bring up any other topic in order to not get ballistic. Why the mentioning of this lightbulb causes such turmoil for VR is currently not explained at all, but this hostility behind LED's back that VR displays might get touched on later on in the narrative if sufficient time and purpose is allotted for such a subplot.

From said mentions, VR constantly brings up how low his character is. The audience can easily get the idea that LED was selfish, and only cared about himself, but because we don't know what he exactly did to anger VR, these claims are not really verifiable at this current point, and it's just one side of the story, so it's a bit of a loaded topic at hand here. These negative statements that VR makes about LED imply that the two have some type of history that is yet to be talked about in the series.

When seen working as a bus driver at Mcfinny, LED is showcased as being calm and reserved, rarely, if ever, seen talking to the students, and often keeping to himself. When he does talk to the students of the school, he radiates an aura of an everyman who's just working to pay the bills and survive in this strange and awkward world that the objects and nonobjects live in. However, in the writers' attempt to humanize him, he is sometimes seen with an embarrassed or even depressive look on his face. Either this implies that LED is going through something at home, or it serves to suggest that he feels guilty about something that might be uncovered later. Regardless, LED is an adult-coded object character that is seen in the background of the show just doing his own thing to make ends meet. But why is that? What went so wrong? Find out soon..in Virtually Gifted, you goofball!

Trivia

 * While little details of the character have been revealed at this point of time, LED is considered "important" to the series at hand in a "Freudian" way, despite not being a teacher or student character, and has some relevance to the plot in question. How so is unknown, and his morality is not really explained just yet.
 * LED is not a new concept from the creator of the show, as he was a character originally created to serve the role as the main official host for THOAB, which was an old series Daax tried to make in the past (around the part of early 2018), but his character has been re-purposed to be more of an "interesting side character that the audience can get more invested in". Since THOAB was cancelled for personal reasons and lack of interest, it would also make sense to just drop LED in the show here to make the story and writing easier to produce as fresh new things can be done with an already "established" character that's free from the mold of "object show formulas".
 * LED "might have magical powers", according to the showrunner Daax. If he does have powers, his willingness to destroy things and the magnitude of his abilities are unknown at this time. And what exactly these powers are not stated either, as he never seems to use them when he's on screen.
 * LED, like VR and Charger, is revealed to have been invented by a large kind of inventor, but his inventor is not shown. The relationship he had with his inventor is also not discussed.
 * He was invented by a large human because certain electronic objects were stated to have been "hand-made" by giant scientists.


 * Where LED lives is rendered unknown, and his birthplace is also not known or stated as well; the creator declined to focus on these matters he deemed trivial to the narrative, but the lightbulb is stated to "like to travel", though, so he could be a foreigner to the land of Raik, but that's not directly confirmed by anyone.


 * LED's name is the only one of the characters that has their official name take the form of an acronym. (light-emitting diode). VR Headset counts as an extent, but their official name is actually noted to be Virtual Reality Headset.
 * LED is the only character in the series that has their official name start with the letter L.
 * He also has the shortest name of anyone in the series.
 * LED has a mental age of around 30, making him one of the older characters of the series.
 * LED is confirmed to be a gay character, making him a member of the LGBT.
 * LED may have "mentored" VR in the past, giving him the push to be a teacher.
