HISTORY IN-DEPTH: Wiki Gobo started out as your ordinary Fraggle. Thirty minute workweek, a central, natural inclincation toward music and merrymaking, and generally being a bunch of furry little hippies. All that changed when Gobo's uncle, famed "explorer" explorer Travelling Matt found an exit to "Outer Space," the Fraggles' word for the human world. He'd send back postcards, and between those and Gobo's adventures with his friends, his world view started opening up. He became braver, more adventurous (and a bit more conceited, unfortunately), and by the end of the series has made contact with his first human, or "Silly Creature" in Fraggle parlance. It's implied that he's going to start exploring Outer Space himself from there. Of course, becoming more explorative hasn't come without its own perils. Gobo has become injured on multiple occasions through his adventures, such as a broken leg or being knocked totally unconscious for several minutes. He's also gotten his friends in some tough scrapes, and on at least two occasions nearly caused the destruction of Fraggle Rock itself. Of course, these are usually learning experiences, at least until next week's bumps or illnesses. If nothing else, it's given Gobo quite a sense for getting out of trouble as much as he gets into it. PERSONALITY Gobo is, at his heart, a good person. He's supportive and friendly, and is sure to help out just about anybody in trouble, whether he knows them or not. He's curious and explorative, and wants to know about just about anything. However, he can also be moody and depressive, and his rashness and tendency to think He's Right has nearly gotten himself killed on multiple occasions, or has put both him and his friends in danger. To his credit he does eventually come around, and isn't afraid to admit he was wrong, right before helping to clean up. He's kind, just... misguided, and tends to have too many irons in the fire to keep all the plates balanced. Or something like that. For Essence quirks, he'll be a bit more prone to his plans and ideas, and be a bit more of a tinkerer than he was before. ABILITIES WEAPON: Lyre (or other stringed instrument) STYLE: Using his music, he can use Sleep Spells on enemies and Heal Spells on allies; he can unerringly find any path; he can magically create bolt-holes given sufficient earth (it doesn't have to stay earth the entire way), and one will always connect to his home
