Fanboy
“⠀⠀Fanboy's catchphrase„
— Fear not!
“⠀⠀Fanboy to Chum Chum in Pick a Nose„
— Chum Chum, we are gonna rule the school.
Tobias Cranapple III (トビアス・クラナップル三世, Tobiasu kuranappuru san-sei), formerly known as Fanboy (ファンボーイ, Fanbō), and now known as Boy is a hyperactive, eccentric and retarded superhero-in-training and one of the two titular main protagonists (alongside his best friend, Chum Chum) of the Fanboy & Chum Chum franchise. They live in a tree house in the middle of an urban neighbourhood. He and Chum Chum are vigilantes of Galaxy Hills and have been doing so for more than 4 months and 20 days as of the beginning of the entire franchise. They protect the city from Skullgirls and other threats from within its municipality.
Fanboy often enjoys taking credit of a successful defence. Often gloating how he at one time stopped that Skullgirl with just his thumb. While he is very content and grateful with all that he has. He is envious of one thing that his best friend has; and that's coochie. Why? Because Chum Chum be hookin' up like 10 bad bitches a day, the closest thing Fanboy gets in his whole life, is a punch in the dick from Yo.
At school his grades suffer greatly because most of the time he would either sleep in school, get distracted by Chum Chum, or watching Filia from outside his school window, studying a girl's school opposite his, day dreaming about her sitting and farting on his face. Never does he actually have the motivation to do stupid school shit like learning about rational numbers or ratios, if there are two things he hates, its numbers and rational people.
Physical Appearance
Fanboy is a tall ass, bug-eyed, thin human with pale skin and a faint blush. He has a cylinder-shaped head with a flat top, large ears, thick brows, and large eyes. In Secret Club, he is revealed to have short golden-brown hair with two cowlicks at his crown and his initials "FB" shaved onto the back of his head. He's particularly proud of his buckteeth and shows them off with every grin.

In Fanboy And Chum Chum The Masturbation Diaries
Fanboy and his friend become embroiled in uncovering eldtrich conspiracies and had learnt that Kyle and The N.E.R.D.S have been being douches this whole time, to keep an angry ancient group of demons known as Neco Arc away from plaguing the world in cringe. However the internet acting as a real life Necronomicon that it is, allows Neco Arc to reach ever closer to their world, as her dark influence inspires many cults, attempting to bring her to destroy the world.
We see the duo, Kyle, and occasionally Dr. Gastronomical putting a stop to these cringy ass cults from proliferating her strengthening existence and allowing her and her eldtrich brethren no quarter into seducing humanity to their will.
Later he is found beefing with Bob Bobowski who wanted to have to fight Fanboy over a garbage fetish. The two fought but in the end, he lost and had to retreat to the Treehouse. Some wacky episodes later he found Kyle in a dragon tf Area and rescued him to put him back to Oz's House. In the end they defeated Neo EDP445, Zigra, Parappa, and Chop Chop Master Onion in the SECOND FINAL LACKLUSTER BATTLE.

After this, Satan got pissed at the duo so he sent his satanic henchmen to fight them in them, creating what we now know as the Hell On Earth Saga, but Fanboy defeated them with just his brains and now only Vibri attacks them.
Later, Fanboy encountered The Trolls and they bullied Fanboy so hard he pissed himself and then he realized that the Trolls aren't messing around with so he dragged Chum Chum to fight the trolls and they killed them. Chum Chum told Fanboy that they need to defeat the Troll King to order all the Trolls to stop attacking, so Chum Chum makes a squeal so loud made every protagonist in FB&CC attack the trolls. But the trolls kept multiplying and actually became deadly, reckoning force that could ruin the world. Many of them split into teams and they eventually all united to defeat the Troll King in one last battle and won signifying that the earth has been saved and Fanboy could finally rest so he books for a trip to the quite country of Slovenia.

He generally is considered an A-Tier character in the game. His pros are that his attacks have strong reach and are easy to pressure characters away from him, he can also chain decently, making him a nasty fencer. His cons are that Skipper, Kyle, and Chum Chum exists and they will body him, he also has no ranged attacks and can be more easily punished than most other A tier characters.
