Bartholomew Oobleck

Bartholomew Oobleck, also known as Barty and Doc, is a character from the RWBY series.
== Charactah Account ==
A professor who teaches history, such as the ancient wars and the civil rights struggles of the Faunus. Apparently he has a PhD. He fights with Antiquity's Roast, a coffee thermos that extends into a full staff that can emit flames.
Oobleck's trademark characteristics are his extreme hyperactivity and his love for coffee, tea, or some other stimulant. Not only does he frequently "glide" about in class at incredible speeds, but he also speaks very rapidly. This energy might be a result of him constantly drinking what appears to be coffee. His unkempt look and the mess on and around his desk suggest he has little to no regard for tidiness.
During his class, Oobleck is very enthusiastic and strict about his work, being very happy when inattentive students, such as Jaune Arc, seem ready to contribute to class and punishing students who perform poorly. This is because behind his almost flamboyant behavior, Oobleck is an incredibly deep and compassionate thinker, completely dedicated to and relishing in his roles as a Huntsman and teacher. Oobleck views history as an important way to prevent the repetition of past mistakes, saying the advancement of knowledge is worthy of being referred to as fighting, for it will better prepare Humanity's future in the fight for survival against the Grimm.

== Trivia ==
* Oobleck alludes to Bartholomew from Bartholomew and the Oobleck. For more information on this allusion, as well as other choices the creators made for this character, see Bartholomew Oobleck/Behind the Scenes.
* From the Middle English Bartelmeus, a cognate of the Late Latin Bartholomaeus, which is from the Greek Bartholomaios (son of Talmai). Talmai is an Aramaic name meaning "hill, mound, furrows." This brings green colors to mind.
* His last name "Oobleck" comes from his allusion to the Dr. Seuss story Bartholomew and the Oobleck. "Oobleck" is also the name of an inexpensive, white, non-Newtonian fluid made from corn flour and water which is known for being a liquid when subject to little force but being a solid under high force.
* Oobleck's desk was jokingly compared to the common state of Monty Oum's in the Volume 1 directors' commentary.
* The notes on X-Ray and Vav's bulletin board in the Rooster Teeth cartoon X-Ray & Vav are arranged in the same way as the notes on Oobleck's map.
* Oobleck and Peter Port are so far the only two characters based on characters still under copyright.
