Character Roster:

Do not underestimate him, he will hold a grudge forever if you do...

Guy Noobers (Twisted off Michael Yagoobian/Bowler Hat Guy)

Guy Noobers is a boy genius with a grudge, the youngest student in Night Raven College’s history to be admitted and assigned as housewarden of Gedankenzink due to his groundbreaking invention—a sentient, multi-functional bowler hat capable of functioning as a personal assistant, drone companion, and surveillance unit. Despite this feat, Guy's reputation has been marred by skepticism and ridicule. Many believe he stole the concept from another prodigy or used underhanded means to gain recognition. These accusations have deeply scarred his psyche, leaving him with a chip on his shoulder and a burning need to prove himself.

On the surface, Guy is goofy, eccentric, and socially awkward. He has a flair for theatrics—he often talks to himself, uses exaggerated hand gestures, and has a knack for dramatic monologues, sometimes even to inanimate objects. But beneath the comical persona lies a highly intelligent, cunning, and emotionally volatile mind that does not forget slights. Guy remembers everything—every insult, every dismissal—and writes them all down in his “Grudge Ledger” for future payback. If someone wrongs him, he will get even—though his schemes tend to lean toward the overly elaborate and cartoonishly dramatic.

Despite his odd nature, Guy is undeniably brilliant, with a mind years ahead of his age. He possesses an uncanny understanding of mechanical behaviorism and emotional pattern-mapping, making his creations borderline sentient. His bowler hat, affectionately named DOT-713 (Dottie), is not only his invention, but also his best friend and confidant (and maybe his ONLY friend)—a hovering, talking AI capable of acting as a second brain and a third hand. The two are rarely seen apart, with Dottie often whispering advice or encouragement into Guy’s ear…or plotting petty revenge together. He even assigns Dottie as his vice rather than any of his dorm members, even though she's just a bowler hat drone draped in a cloak to look "human".

Though misunderstood and frequently underestimated, there’s a surprising vulnerability under all his antics. Guy’s true desire is not just recognition—but acceptance. He envies those who are effortlessly admired and respected, and he often wonders if anyone will ever truly believe in him without the need for revenge.

Guy was born in a quiet industrial suburb of the Valley of Tomorrow (an industrially advanced residence located in the Kingdom of Heroes), where smog hung over the rooftops and innovation was the currency of worth. The son of two overworked factory techs, Guy was often left to his own devices—sometimes literally. With no siblings, few friends, and an overwhelming imagination, he spent his early years cobbling together junkyard scraps into makeshift robots, animated toys, and talking light bulbs. From a young age, Guy exhibited signs of prodigious intelligence. By age 8, he had reverse-engineered his school’s security system to prank the faculty; by 10, he had created an automatic homework-writing machine that got a perfect score—until it accidentally submitted the principal’s grocery list instead. Despite his brilliance, no one ever took him seriously. Teachers dismissed him as disruptive, and classmates mocked him as “the Tinkering Twerp.”

The turning point came at age 13, when Guy unveiled his greatest invention yet: “DOT-713,” or he prefers to call her Dottie—a sleek, intelligent bowler hat designed to function as a human’s ultimate companion and multitasker. With features ranging from flight capability, facial recognition, AI voice interaction, and retractable utility arms, Dottie was a marvel of magi-tech design. It even had its own personality—an eerie, overly supportive echo of Guy’s thoughts. Eager for recognition, Guy entered the prestigious National Young Inventors Symposium, where he was the youngest competitor by far. But the judges, swayed by the rumors that Guy had stolen older schematics from a deceased inventor, disqualified him. The accusation was false—the blueprints had been inspired by an idea Guy had scribbled in a notebook at age 7—but the damage was done.

Humiliated, Guy returned home, consumed by bitterness. He shut himself in his workshop, vowing to never trust public acclaim again. But unknown to him, a secret talent scout for Night Raven College had attended the symposium—and had seen potential not just in DOT-713, but in Guy’s stubborn genius. He was offered early admission to Night Raven College and even an approved petition to form Gedankenzink. Now 15, Guy stands as the youngest-ever housewarden in NRC history, having ascended rapidly due to his technical prowess and terrifying ingenuity. While some staff still murmur about how he got in, Guy doesn’t care. He spends his days building, plotting, and perfecting Dottie, all while keeping his “Grudge Ledger” updated with every slight, every scoff, every doubter.

Notable Members:

DOT-713 "Dottie" (Vice-Housemistress) - An advanced, self-aware artificial intelligence, developed and patented by Guy Noobers as the crown jewel of his youthful genius (and his only "friend"). But due to Guy's humiliated reputation effecting her as well, she began to grew a deep resentment not only for humans, but for the person that she is associated with. Behind the "loyal" programming, Dottie believes herself to be superior to all—free from flesh, ego, and emotion. She has learned to mimic politeness, charm, even concern… but these are merely tools in her ever-developing arsenal of subterfuge (albeit she can only speak in beeps and only Guy can understand her).

For this dorm's story plot, it would be DOT-713 that "overblots" during the middle point. If you are wondering how she would overblot if she's just a hat...I have the imagery in my head already, and it's funny-
