My story is essentially the tale of Juan Bobo, only dumber

The Māui of Māori mythology – a name held common with several Polynesian cultural heroes (and of a recent Disney film).  The Māori incarnation was last of the original people created to be born, performed a plethora of amazing feats (largely for the good of those people), and died attempting defeat death in a rather alarming way.

    Perhaps “Bobo” as the name of a monkey was inspired by Professor Bobo of Mystery Science Theater 3000?

      Holy Crap!
      You’re right – I’d completely forgotten about him, but that has to be where the name came from.

    Mindy from the Buttons & Mindy cartoons on Animaniacs is sort of an example of the “Pirate Captain Juan Bobo” archetype, although she’s obviously not a leader per se.

    And, yes, the Doctor Who RPG very much compensates for the impressive abilities of the Doctor by giving his/her player less plot currency. I don’t remember if it was unofficial advice from rpg.net or something written in one of the early editions of the game, but it has been mentioned before that one of the roles of the human companions is to generate Story Points for the Doctor to use due to the paucity on the Time Lord’s own character sheet.
