Dave Algebra Class, simply known as Dave in the mod, is a main character in Dave and Bambi. He appears in the songs Warmup, House, Insanity, Polygonized, Splitathon, Interdimensional, Rano, Vs. Dave Rap, Vs. Dave Rap 2, Bonus Song, Five Nights, Overdrive, and Memory. He also appears in the background of the entire Festival week.
Appearance
Dave is a human man in his mid 20's in a wheelchair. He has incredibly short, almost shaved, brown hair, with slightly longer rounded sections on the sides. He has large eyes with small black pupils. His eyebrows are black and appear to be over his hair. He wears a blue shirt with rounded shoulders and darker blue pants. The pants are cut off about halfway down by his prosthetic legs, which are dark gray rectangular plates that are pointed at either end. Dave's wheelchair is a simple dark gray chair with two light gray wheels attached underneath.
In Polygonized and segments of Insanity, Dave is a 3D model made in Paint 3D. His appearance is exactly the same as before, though he appears afraid and panicked now.
In the Corn Festival week, Dave wears an outfit to mimic Bambi's, which is a large green hat, a green short-sleeved shirt, and black overalls with a small corn image in the center.
He turns 3D again in Interdimensional, and he is again distraught.
In the two Vs. Dave Rap songs, he wears black rectangular sunglasses and a blue hoodie, but is otherwise the same as his default appearance.
In Five Nights, Dave wears a security guard uniform that is similar to the Five Nights at Freddy's security guards'. He wears a light purple shirt, a black tie, and a gold badge. He also wears a black hat that says "Security" in white letters. He holds a white mug that says "I <3 [image of pizza]".
In Overdrive, Dave is drawn poorly, but is otherwise the same as he normally is.
When Recursed, if he is chosen as the playable character (and if you miss enough notes), his hair and shirt will turn white, and his pants will turn dark gray.
Personality
Dave is very friendly but competitive, and he can be rather cocky in competitions. He makes friends with Boyfriend and Girlfriend almost immediately, and trusts Boyfriend to help him calm down from a stress-induced 3D incident almost immediately after meeting him.
Dave is incredibly stressed out when he turns 3D. Turning 3D for him is a stress response, after all. It's implied being 3D is an analogy for PTSD, reliving traumatic memories he had as a scientist, as he says "NOT THE LAB AGAIN". He is also very afraid of hurting other people while he is turning 3D; he cares about people even in his stressed out state.
Dave can be a bit irritable at times, as he gets annoyed with Bambi when he jumps to conclusions. He can also be occasionally sarcastic.
He tends to say things he doesn't mean to say aloud when he is upset. For example, he says "Those are real people, I could've got in lots of trouble!" when he finds out his son called 911 (the police).
The full extent of Dave's relationship with his son isn't showcased in the mod, but he is described as a great parent, but a bit strict. He truly loves his son, even if his methods are... strange. This includes chasing him while he picks up presents Dave hid around the house.
Relationships
Dave is best friends with Bambi. They met while Bambi was stealing corn from a corn maze. Some may describe their relationship as rather one-sided on Bambi's side, with Bambi taking more from Dave without giving back, but they are still friends regardless. Dave often visits him at his farm. They sing Splitathon together, and Bambi later invites Dave and his son to his corn festival. Dave often gifts Bambi bricks painted as phones, that function like actual phones anyway.
Dave's son is Tristan. Dave may be a strict father, but he truly cares for his son. Dave is an algebra teacher at Tristan's school (hence his name), where Tristan attends as a student. The full extent of their relationship isn't shown much in the mod itself, with the only real interaction showcased being Dave yelling at Tristan about how he called the cops and that they would find out something he did that was illegal. In the side game Dave's House, it is shown that Dave is strict once more, with him having hidden presents around the house on Tristan's birthday and threatening to spank him if he collects them. Despite this, Tristan does collect them.
Dave's other best friend is Muko, who he is roommates/housemates with. He and Muko are lab partners, and work together in Dave's lab. He is seen in the corn festival week, having went there with Dave. In the Baldi Mod games, Dave's computer wallpaper is he and Muko together, with Muko holding up a peace sign. The two of them share a non-canon but official series called Dave and Muko, in which they are in a romantic relationship. As far as we know, Muko and Dave are not romantically involved in the games.
Dave is friends with Boyfriend and Girlfriend. They meet over the course of his week, and become close enough to be invited to Bambi's farm, and then to Bambi's festival. Boyfriend saves Dave from being 3D multiple times and helps him calm down from the stress. Later, in Memory, Dave tells Boyfriend that no matter where he goes, he will always be there to support him. In Splitathon 2, Dave calls Boyfriend a good friend of his.
Dave's other roommate/housemates is Ruby Man, who appears in the background of the festival week and the background of the song Bot Trot. Not much else is known about them other than that Ruby Man goes to the corn festival with Dave. He is also seen in the game Dave's House as an obstacle Tristan must avoid.
Dave is the creator of Play-Robot, a robot that plays games and teaches students lessons. She is seen in his house, in the song Bot Trot, and in the games as well.
