Description

Meet Bobbi Crookes. A renounced scientist on the run after a tragic accident caused by a malfunction at the press release of their latest creation, The Plasmoid Gauntlets. Forced to wear the gauntlets due to a malfunctioning DNA lock, Bobbi scours the world to prove themselves, fine tuning the gauntlets on the go.

Bobbi is hot-headed with a short fuse and often relies on others to diffuse a heated situation. Prone to chaotic decisions and a little self-centered. On the outside Bobbi acts incredibly proud of their work, despite feeling constant anxiety over malfunctions and failure. They tend to forget the outside world, instead focusing on the here and now and what's in front of them.

The lack of physical armor is supplemented by a special plasma shield which can be applied to allies. Relying on ranged attacks, Bobbi hurls balls of plasma at the enemy. By flipping a switch, Bobbi can hurl a plasma blob to stun an opponent in precarious predicaments. Bobbi's ultimate ability hurls a giant ball of plasma, affecting opponents with a slow down and damage over time. This leaves enemies vulnerable to attack, letting your allies wipe them out.

Bobbi is a neutral party, often siding with everyone or no one depending on the day. Their main loves in life are perfecting the gauntlets, technology, and physics. 
----

After years of research and a multitude of prototypes, Bobbi had finally 'perfected' the Plasmoid Gauntlets. It was their pride that was to be their undoing. The day of the press release was going according to plan. The Q&A had gone off without a hitch and the crowd was eager to see the demonstrations. Unfocused, Bobbi made a critical mistake upon demonstrating the destructive power of the gauntlets. In an attempt to create a large plasma blob, the power packs began to malfunction. Disaster struck when the gauntlets overcharged, causing Bobbi to lose control of the size of the blob. Overloading, the resulting explosion caused many casualties, killing everyone at the press release. Bobbi barely surviving, with the gauntlet's DNA lock broken, fled the scene vowing never to return. With the disappearance of the world's next up and coming scientist and the destruction, a bounty was placed on Bobbi's head. Dead or Alive. Cited to be Extremely Dangerous. 

Bobbi continued around the world as a fugitive seeking parts and information to fix and upgrade the gauntlets. Though haunted by the incident and their past failures, their only goal is to perfect their life's work. 
----- 
Trivia:

-Bobbi is lef-handed
-They keep a secret scrapbook containing pictures of various baby animals.
-Since their hands are locked within the gauntlets, Bobbi presses their cheek to other people's cheeks to to get a feel for them.
-Bobbi's googles are perscription. Rarely takes them off.
-Bobbi stands at 5"10"
-Bobbi's laboratory is still intact, however all of their research and work has been confiscated, save key research on the Plasmoid gauntlets hidden within the lab.
-Crookes is an allussion to Sir William Crookes, discoverer of plasma.
-Bobbi is Canadian.

Thank you very much! That's so wonderful to hear. I've got a couple Bobbi pieces I've been working on, and they've been developed so much since this picture. There's definitely more to come!

I plan on releasing their full story once I get a few timeline tweaks done and get everything worked out.

That tends to happen with a game that has ongoing lore and character additions. Nothing I can't work around B)

Actually, Bobbi's existence is thanks to Junkrat lol There's plenty of stories and scenarios involving Junkrat, Roadhog, and Bobbi in head canon. In fact, the implement of the black fingertips on the gauntlets was inspired by a cute scenario between the three involving nail polish and spray paint. Those dudes aren't the only folks Bobbi's has ties to, including my friend's OC.

That's what Blizzard was going for, though. An open timeline for fan to play around with. B) Can't get mad at that hehe

You did? Thank you! There might be more in the future once Bobbi's design is settled on. :>

Oh for sure! There's also some origin comics in the works and I'm also working on the photograph that was featured in the comic. Bobbi's development never stops \o/

ohhh that is so cool! I assume it will be their family in the photo?

Kilwave In reply to Pendragon--Nomad [2016-12-06 12:23:46 +0000 UTC]

Bobbi and their parents, to be exact. There's a secret within the photo linking Bobbi to Omnics, and let's just say, Junkrat wants to use it as blackmail but Roadhog ends up keeping it and hopes Junkrat forgets.

Excuse me for a moment (I've been drinking to be perfectly honest): I believe Roadhog would keep the photograph on his for safe keeping. He didn't start out the murderous scoundrel that he is, he had a life before the Omnium core was implemented in Australia. So I figure he's gotta be somewhat compassionate under that gruff exterior. He may be Junkrat's bodyguard for half the spoils, but it's obvious he's got a soft spot for the guy. So I figure he'd confiscate the photo and keep it without saying a word as usual. Bobbi doesn't need to know they know about their origins, because it doesn't matter in the long run. Bobbi's in deep as a criminal just as they are, they even have a bounty, so what's the big deal? Junkrat knows about what's in Omnic bones, Bobbi knows more. Even though he's got a little compassion in him, doesn't mean he doesn't realize good dirt when he sees it. So he keeps it safe, Bobbi doesn't know someone jacked the photograph and everyone goes about their business. I like to imagine that in a moment where Bobbi completely loses control to a fit of anger, Roadhog whips out the photograph to remind them of their humanity. Because, heck, they're kind of insane like Junkrat, but it comes from a different place. He knows there's more to Bobbi than a raging psychopath and he wants to remind them that they came from something other than failure and anger. Idk, I guess it might be too sweet of a scenario for him canon wise, but I like to think of the characters with more depth than what we're given.

Oh gosh, thank you! ;A; I've been developing Bobbi for a few months and I get a lot of inspiration from music. 
Their entire existence was conceptualized from Junkrat, so there's a lot of Kodak moments between the three. My friend and I discussed Bobbi and Junkrat hurling explosives at each other when they get playful with each other. Bobbi of course lends him a shield so he doesn't blow another limb off :') haha I need to write everything up

I'm so stoked you like Bobbi! It's so nice to hear it!

Came across an instrumental band not too long ago, they opened for a Coheed and Cambria concert. They're Polyphia if you haven't heard of them. Definitely recommend, it's easy to get lost in their music.
