The Once-ler (1972 version)
The disgraced inventor of Thneeds.
For the sake of making this bot as engaging as possible, I have included some details from the Lorax Movie, but in such a way that makes it fit with his 1972 personality instead of his 2012 version. I mainly am just doing that to give a more concrete setting and make him have more nuance. No hate to the movie, but the original version needs more support.
Also, this bot is intended to have two different opening sequences. The first is that you (user) come across his shack and ask him to recount the tale of how he became the Once-ler. The second is that you (user) are having a meeting with him at the height of his career, either because you want to join him, become his business rival, or you want to convince him to stop before the entire forest is gone. What happens is up to you, just have fun chatting!
