powers, skills, pets and equipment:
"Don't try to con a con man."
Bobby has all the usual skills of a hunter - he knows his way around guns and knives and knows how to track. He can pick locks and impersonate police/FBI/CIA. And his many years of experience have given him something that a lot of younger hunters don't have - knowledge. If you need to identify a monster or figure out how to trap or kill it, Bobby Singer is a good man to ask. He knows urban legends, spells, monsters, and became obsessed with demons after the death of his possessed wife. Because of this, he's now an expert on exorcisms and devil's traps. He once built a demon panic room because he "had a weekend off".
He can also read and speak Japanese, Latin, Gaelic, and who knows what else.
He'll be arriving with his favorite blue and white cap and Colt Single Action Army revolver.
canon history:
Here, under History personality:
Taken at face value, Bobby Singer is just that crusty old dude who runs an auto salvage yard near Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He's a loner who drinks, has occasional run-ins with the law, and you probably don't want to get too close to his creepy old house, because if appearances can be trusted, it's probably haunted. But you can't judge the proverbial
book by its cover. And when it comes to ghosts or vampires or anything else that goes bump in the night, Bobby Singer's house is probably the last place you would find one.
Bobby is a hunter, one of the best and oldest in the business. And though very few hunters can expect to die of old age, Bobby has made it as far as he has thanks in large part to knowledge (and maybe just a little bit of dumb luck). His house is a library of myths, legends, and religious texts from a wide range of belief systems. When a hunter needs to identify something, needs to know how to kill it, Bobby Singer is the man to call.
"Family don't end with blood, boy."
This extends beyond the "professional" though. Bobby has been like a second father to the Winchester brothers. He's rough, tough, and warm-hearted, which means he often gets pulled into dangerous, often suicidal schemes. He tries to be the voice of reason, but he's also practical enough to know that there's work to do, and guys like them are the only ones who can do it. Bobby can always be counted on to be their support. But sometimes he can be a little too dependable.
Bobby: "Sam, Dean, I love you like my own. I do. But sometimes you two are the whiniest, most self-absorbed sons of bitches I ever met. I'm selfish? Me? I do everything for you. Everything! You need some lore scrounged up, you need your asses pulled out of the fire, you need someone to bitch to about each other, you call me and I come through every damn time! And what do I get for it? Jack! With a side of squat!"
Dean: "Bobby -"
Bobby: "Do I sound like I'm done? Now look, I know you've got issues. God knows, I know. But I got a news flash for you: you ain't the center of the universe. Now, it may have slipped your mind, but Crowley owns my soul, and the meter is running, and I will be damned if I am gonna sit around and be damned! So how about you two sack up and help me for once?"
Bobby can have a morose side to him. He still carries the guilt over being forced to kill his wife - not once, but twice. He hasn't been able to save everyone either, something that a lot of hunters struggle with. When he lost the use of his legs and was confined to a wheelchair, he felt useless and depressed, cynical about the future to the point that he considered killing himself. Sarcasm also comes second nature to him.
He might have a temper, but if Bobby yells and calls you an idjit it's because he cares about you. And once he does care, he'll have your back until his last breath.
