Current Characters: n/a
Character: Rob
Canon: The Amazing World of Gumball, after he vanishes in "The Future"
Age: 13
Background Information: Rob was just a normal background character at Elmore Junior High, not even important enough for the main characters to remember his name. At some point, he was deemed a mistake by the world and sent to the Void. He later managed to escape when Gumball and Darwin broke in to rescue Molly, but the experience deformed him and left him with amnesia.
After Gumball and Darwin found him living in their house, Rob told them that he was nobody and didn't know where he belonged. Gumball said he could be the bad guy since they didn't have one, and this jarred Rob's memory, including them leaving him in the Void. That made him pretty keen to take on the role. He was really bad at it at first. Eventually Gumball and Darwin helped him come up with the villainous name Dr. Wrecker and helped focus his plans on, well, wrecking things. Rob kept this up for a season, but found that he didn't like the villain life.
That was when he really became a bad guy. He ditched the Dr. Wrecker personality, then got a magic universal remote control and tried to send Gumball to the Void to take him out of the show that Rob now knew he was in. Rob ended up reneging on that plan when Gumball saved him after Rob was sent to the Void again. Rob tried to move on to another nemesis after this, but Gumball won back his hate.
By the last season, he was aware that Elmore was going to be sent to the Void, symbolizing the end of the show. He first tried kidnapping Banana Barbara, who could paint the future and even change it, but was again foiled by Gumball. He later posed as the school superintendent and tried to transform everyone into actual living human beings to keep them from being sent to the Void, but the students fought this and he was uncovered. Before he could explain, he was knocked out, only to awaken just in time for the Void to take the whole show.
Personality: Before, Rob was another one of the friendly gang at school. He went to the party at Tobias' house, he participated in group gossip, and he happily greeted people he knew when he passed them in the street. He was even kind enough to catch the DVD Gumball and Darwin were chasing as it fell into the sewer despite the fact that they were the reason he was down there in the first place. But he had justifiable negativity then, too. He was very angry when Gumball and Darwin forgot his name and tried to brush him off, and ended up throwing the aforementioned DVD away when they still couldn't remember him.
Rob completely changed once he was deemed a mistake by the world and sent to the Void. For one, he's become very dejected. The initial experience was certainly enough to cause this, but being left by his potential saviors only made it worse. Then his lack of a role in Elmore, thereby being a nobody, was clearly hurtful to him. He also had to deal with the fact that due to being erased from the world, everyone had forgotten him. Another look at what causes him to be depressed is when he is shown sadly yearning for his old body after he rewinds time with said remote, as he resents his new broken form.
On that note, he also feels quite victimized by the whole ordeal. He directly blames Gumball for everything that's happened to him, which is interesting because Darwin was equally involved, if not a bit more so. This is likely because Rob has realized he's living in Gumball's show. He tells him he only has himself to blame for the things Rob has done because Gumball being the hero makes Rob the villain, which he never wanted to be in the first place. However, this complex and his hatred toward Gumball for all of this turns him into the bad guy regardless.
His anger has become far more prevalent, as well. He still gets mad when someone (or let's be honest, Gumball) gets his name wrong, but now he can become enraged simply by something not going his way. He talks about how angry Banana Joe made him when he was trying to be his nemesis and his plan failed. He also had trouble controlling his temper when trying to get Joe's mother to paint something that might change the future of the show ending. Unsurprisingly, however, no one gets him angrier than Gumball. Even though Rob was the only one who remembered the time Gumball saved him and they reached a truce, the kid was still able to annoy him enough for Rob to snap and go right back to being his nemesis.
As a villain, Rob can be quite malicious. In his early days in the role, he would often proclaim that he would destroy Gumball and everyone he loved. His plans slowly evolved from Wile E. Coyote-esque traps, to putting a bomb on the school bus, to intending to tear apart Gumball's family and send him to the Void. Even when he tried to be Joe's nemesis he set up complicated devices to, quote, obliterate him. Later, when Rob was trying to stop the show from ending, his only plans were still very evil in nature. I mean he literally named his superintendent disguise "Evil" (pronounced differently, but still) and acted like a dictator over the school to force them to become humans instead of trying to talk to them and explain what was going on.
Still, he is very determined and resourceful and won't give up if he sees any hope left. In spite of being completely ignored by Gumball and Darwin when they first entered the Void, he followed them and clung to the van they escaped in to make his exit even though the energy of it was ripping his body apart. In his earliest days as the bad guy, his traps always ended up failing and were completely unnoticed, but he tried 563 times. Although Rob's plan with the magic remote was to just emotionally separate Gumball from loved ones, when Gumball's intervention caused it to go much worse and effectively kill some of the Wattersons and Gumball's girlfriend, Rob was perfectly fine with going with that outcome at first since it still achieved his overall goal.
As horrible and cruel as that sounds, it was all undone by Rob because deep down inside, he actually still cares about other people. He rewound to before most of the things he did with the remote because Gumball had tried to save him and he couldn't go through with leaving things as they were. Before that, he joined in on the song much of the cast sang to teach Bobert about love. Then in the final season, he went out of his way to try to keep the show from ending, albeit using villainous-type plans, but his heart was definitely in the right place. Even though he was the bad guy to all of them, he truly wanted to save everyone from the fate of being left in the Void.
Abilities & Inventory:
• As a cartoon character, he can survive things that would be fatal to real people like explosions and falling from great heights. He just ends up with whatever injury is funniest. This is not to say death is impossible from the same things, it just depends on the situation. Another character died from a one-story fall, for example.
• This probably will never come up, but you can actually use a standard remote control on him.
• It's not exactly an ability, but here is some information on his body.
• All he's bringing is his now useless cell phone because I don't think he has anything else he's held on to in the first place.
• For one dreamotion ability, I would like him to have lightning-based magic. Just because the static thing and being on a TV show makes me think of electricity. It'll probably be like standard video game spell attacks, but I'm still deciding.
• The other dreamotion power I'd like him to have is weapon creation. Except for him, it'll be completely ridiculous weapons. Things that most people at a glance wouldn't consider to be actual weapons. For example, on the show he used a magic universal remote at one point, not that he'd manifest that here. He can also make ridiculously good weapons like a bazooka as he gets better control, but that will only be while dreamwalking.
Suitability & Plans: I think Rob fits because wanting to shape his own destiny is part of his story. He would love to build a world without Gumball, and while he's not doing it in Elmore, it should still be enough. He also wants to become who he wants to be instead of just the villain, but not having done much else it could take him a while to get away from being a bad guy, or maybe he won't be able to do it at all. That's an interesting path I'd like to explore.
While he's not really social in most of his appearances, being around people who won't hate him for things he's done (at first, we'll see what happens) and can actually remember his name should get him to open up again; he used to have friends before he was sent to the Void. The fact that his plans are usually ridiculous and cartoony might make for some fun moments in game, too. Characters from Elmore who would count as NPCs quite literally come in all sorts, so that could spice things up at some point. And frankly, I just really want to play him.
