6. Personality: Bobby tries very hard to hide the fact that he’s really kind of a dork. He’ll readily admit to liking video games and math and all those other things, but he does his best to be cool and suave and charming. And sometimes ends up tripping over his own shoelaces and rambling on about nothing at all, but he still does it in a charming way, dang it. He can be a bit of a flirt, though this isn’t always intentional. Above all, he’s incredibly good hearted. He’s very slow to take offense, unless the offense is directed towards someone else. You can insult him all you want, but insult one of his friends and there’s going to be a problem.
He has a great sense of humor, and is always up for a joke or a good laugh, from things like freezing a fireball John’s formed in the middle of class to try and show off and getting John in trouble (back when he could do that, and John would only be amused instead of probably trying to kill him, anyway), to teasing a smile out of his friends. Bobby hides a lot behind his sense of humor and his outward appearance of confidence. He’s worked hard to be the go-to guy, the one who has all the answers, whether it be question number 22 on the math homework, where all the best ice cream is stashed away in the kitchen at the mansion, or ‘hey, where can I get some ice for my drink?’. He tries to be friends with everyone, to be useful and helpful and funny and all those other things that people like. Deep down, though, he’s still a slightly uncertain young man trying to figure out who he really is. Not that he’ll admit that, or at least not to many people. There are very few he lets close enough to actually see what’s under the surface.
Bobby's actually grown up quite a bit relatively quickly. This is mostly due to being in situations where other people's lives, and his own life, depended on him, and the fact that he lost pretty much his entire support structure in not very much time. He's gone from having plenty of friends and family to having to deal with the death of three of his mentors, his parents and brother disowning him, his best friend turning into one of his worst enemies, and his girlfriend vanishing without a trace. While this has definitely had an impact on his life, making him a little bit more confident in himself as well as making him just a bit jaded, he generally doesn't really let it show. He still alternates between geeky and confident, charming and dorky, and refuses to let things bring him down.
That’s not to say he doesn’t know when to be serious, however. With so many of the X-men gone, he’s now one of the people who has been at the mansion the longest. He’s taken a very active part in how things are run, including arguing for keeping the school open during a staff meeting, taking over some teaching, and speaking for the other junior X-men before the final showdown at Alcatraz.. This role and Bobby’s responsibilities to the X-men aren’t something he takes lightly, and when he’s on a mission or doing something X-men related, he is completely devoted to it. He’s absolutely not afraid to stand up for what he thinks is right, or make his opinion known, even to someone he respects (and is slightly terrified of) as much as Logan.
7. Previous Game Developments: None!
8. Appearance: Bobby's hair tends to vary from blond to light brown, depending on the amount of sun it gets and the amount of product he puts in it. His eyes are really, really blue, especially when he's wearing a darker blue or black shirt. He's about six feet tall, with skin that can border between fair and lightly tanned, depending on how much sun exposure he's had. He has an athletic build, lean, but with definition and some muscle from rigorous training. He prefers clothes that are semi-casual but slightly preppy, favoring khakis or slacks and button-up shirts, although he does have a fondness for tee-shirts with random sayings on them and isn't opposed to tanktops and jeans. (His PB is Shawn Ashmore)
