Chalkles

Chalkles is a chalkboard-dwelling character in Baldi's Basics Plus.

Description
Chalkles appears as a scribbled face drawn in chalk. The circular face is drawn with a "mustache", two buck teeth, a comb-over, a button nose, glasses, and two eyes. The left eye is bigger than the right.

Personality
Chalkles' description from the Principal's office suggests that he loves causing mischief around the Super Schoolhouse.

Main Gameplay
Upon entering the classroom, Chalkles will appear on an empty chalkboard in one of the classrooms, slowly manifesting in it. The player has 15 seconds to leave the classroom before Chalkles pops out. After 15 seconds in the room when Chalkles becomes completely solid, he will pop out of the chalkboard and then rotate around the room while making a creepy laugh-like sound, attracting Baldi's attention to Chalkles' location and preventing the player from escaping the classroom for a few seconds.

Chalkles will stay active for at least 25 seconds. After 15 seconds, he ascends to the ceiling, distorting and clipping through. He will finally leave after 10 seconds. At that time, the player will now be able to open the classroom door.

It is, however, possible to escape the room when Chalkles become solid, by:
 * Using the Principal's Keys to unlock the door(s).
 * Getting sent to detention by Principal of the Thing.
 * Using the Dangerous Teleporter item to teleport out of the room.
 * Being teleported by Arts and Crafters.
 * Going out of the classroom or heading into a whirlpool during the flood event.
 * Using the Portal Poster to go through the walls.
 * Getting off the classroom after Mrs. Pomp opens the locked door when she tried to enter or exit the room.

If the player wears the Faculty Nametag, Chalkles will disappear. Even if the Nametag expires, he will not spawn until they enter the room without the Nametag. However, when using this item after Chalkles spawns, the player cannot open any door right away.

Along with It's a Bully, Beans' bubble gum and using the BSODA to try slowing down or pushing Chalkles will not work.

Other Appearances

 * In Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo, if Chalkles is close enough to an elevator, he can trigger it to close.

Trivia

 * General
 * chk_name.png of the chalkboards used since the early demo first shows a hint to Chalkles' existence. Chalkles later made his first physical debut in the Kickstarter exclusive demo.
 * Although the Principal's Office description refers Chalkles as an "it", mystman12 confirms Chalkles as male.
 * Chalkles' name is likely a pun by the two words "chalk" and "chuckles" mixed together, hence his appearance and laughter.


 * Baldi's Basics Plus
 * The audio files of Chalkles have same prefix as the chalkboards' file name, except that it is capitalized.
 * The way Chalkles spins extremely rapidly and distorts through the ceiling is similar to the way Arts and Crafters does when he is about to teleport the player to a random location.
 * He is the smallest character in the game.
 * This is the only character to only appear inside the rooms but not around the hallways.
 * So far, It's a Bully, The Test and Chalkles are the only characters not to visit the party event.

Glitches

 * Baldi's Basics Plus
 * Prior to V0.1.4 update, there was no fade-in effect when Chalkles is trying to pop out from the chalkboard, though there was in the Kickstarter exclusive demo.
 * In V0.1.5, Chalkles' sprite on the chalkboard could only be seen if the player was on any sides of the chalkboard due to a rendering error. It could also seem cropped when the player was on almost front by the sides. This has been fixed in V0.2.
 * If the player goes into a classroom from another classroom, Chalkles will not spawn in the classroom the player goes into.
