## Biography

### Early Life

   Hoagie was the born into the Gilligan family as the first born son of Betty Gilligan and Hoagie Gilligan Sr. His formative years would be the same as any normal child, though their be moments that would still have significant impacts on his his, such as meeting Nigel Uno in Kindergarten. He also possibly met Fanny Fulbright during this period of his life as well.

The first major event of Hoagie's life would be when he went with his family to Japan, for his fathers Carrier Project. Which was a joint effort between the Fulbright Corporation and Sanban Industries, for safer transportation through the air for both civilians and Huntsmen. While in Japan he would meet the Sanban family and get along well with the heiress Kuki Sanban. His time in Japan would also be marked by the birth of his little brother Tommy Gilligan. But his time in Japan would eventually end in tragedy when he witnessed the airship his father built and brought them to Japan in the first place for explode in a Satyra terrorist attack as it was taking off to show to everyone in the country.

He would leave the country feeling a mixture of grief, sadness, confusion, and…Anger. When he boarded the plane Hoagie would use his Tablet to check the network for news on the attack and saw a picture of the airship just after it exploded. Where he saw someone there, perched on the outside of the ship, wearing dark clothes and with long dark hair, and fox ears on top of her head. Hoagie left the country knowing Satyra were the one's behind the attack that killed his father, and that this Fox Faunus was the one that basically pulled the trigger. When he returned back to America he would meet and befriend the new surrogate Faunus daughter of the Uno family Abigail Lincoln. He would later on also meet and befriend the Faunus Wallabee Beatles as well.

One day Hoagie on the SkyWeb under his penname of “Sky King”, would respond to and answer a video posted by Jack Spicer, and solved the formula presented in it. Afterwards he along with the others that responded to the message Double D, Dexter O'Reilly, and Wade Load, would be contacted by the entity known as Bill Cipher in the dreamscape. When he first met Bill he would ask if he could bring back his dad, but Bill would respond he wasn't that good yet. Bill would however give Hoagie the chance to not only continue his fathers work, but also a chance at the answers he sought about those behind his fathers death, and help catching them. Afterwards thanks to Bill Ciphers manipulations Hoagie would leave for Gravity Falls, Oregon for a contest set up by the Northwest family.

### Gravity Falls

When he arrived in Gravity Falls with his family, he along with Jack, Dexter and his grandfather, and Double D with his parents, would all be greeted by Preston Northwest. Who explained that the Grimm avoided Gravity Falls, and how a 'friend' of his made a impressive scientific discovery that could explain it. While also saying to think of the lives that could be saved if this could be replicated, which helped further hooked Hoagie's interest. While waiting for the Northwests to start their contest, he would explore the town. Where he would meet Nyx Kane when he found the Gravity Falls arcade. He would end up striking up a quick but strong friendship with Nyx, and through her meet Mabel Pines.

Later he would be one of those that would help Mabel set up and prepare for the puppet show she was preparing. Where he would end up introducing himself to and getting to know Dipper Pines better. But during this entire incident he would meet Bill again, and learn just what kinda of monster he truly was.

    When Bill tricked Dipper and took over his body, Hoagie tried to stop him and call off their previous deal. But this just caused Bill to banish his mind/soul into the void, but luckily a hiding near by Nyx would see and invoke a Ritual of the Spiral to save him. Which would cause Hoagie to meet one of the Six Founding Spiral The Owl. As well as allow him to return back to his body. He would than quickly rush to the theater, only to find the aftermath of everything, with Dipper already returned to this body.

Hoagie would end up grounded afterwards due to him missing the few hours Bill had tore his spirit from his body, and tossed it into the void. He had come up with the excuse of falling asleep in the library, since he thought it wasn't likely his mother, grandmother, or even brother would believe he was kidnapped by some demon. He would ask his mother if he could go back with the lie of getting his books, which allowed him to write up and send a message to his friends.

Presumably afterwards, Hoagie joined Dipper in his research on the paranormal events and the unsolved mysteries such as Stan Pine’s ‘tattoo, and the mysterious mailbox in the middle of the woods, only to discover it being an omniscient and answered their own questions, including a portrait of what he will be in the future. But never managed to learn the identity of the author of the journal because of Mabel’s disturbing video of her with gummy worms,

    The next major incident would turn out to be where Hoagie along with the Pine Twins and friends tried to help Old Man McGucket regain his lost memories. This would lead to them learning about and facing the memory wiping Cult of Bill Cipher worshipers the Society of the Blind Eye. They would first secretly spy on them wiping Lazy Susan's memory, and than battling two intruders in June and Lila. But the group would end up revealing themselves when June explained the Blind Eyes lair had been set to collapse in five minutes.

This lead to a short chase that ended with all them captured. The Society's leader Blind Ivan would than proceed to explain the society's goals and origins. Though left out Bill Cipher and denied every hearing of him when June brought him up. But before they could get their memories wiped they were saved by two new intruders and rescuers who were revealed to be Hoagie's grandmother Lydia, and Stan Pines both of whom had their youth restored through unknown means. The hostages were witnesses to the clash Lydia, Stan, and later Jasmine Lee had with the Blind Eye. Where the Blind Eye would reveal they were indeed followers of Bill Cipher, by invoking power and transforming into Demon Forms. Eventually things came to a end with the Blind Eye's escaping while their lair collapsed. Though despite this victory, Hoagie and the others failed in their original goal of retrieving McGucket's memories.

### Banished in Pillow World

The next major incident for Hoagie would be on the night of the Northwest Fest, during which Preston would reveal the contest and goal to all the gathered contestants. But while Hoagie was in his room with his family being fussed over by his mother and preparing, they would receive a visitor looking for him in Nyx Kane. Who unknown to Hoagie at the time was being possessed by friend of Bill's and fellow Lord of Chaos Klarion the Witch Boy.

Who than lured Hoagie alone into another room, and than banished him and Nyx into another dimension. As punishment for Nyx's earlier actions in saving Hoagie by invoking a Ritual of the Spiral. The dimension they ended up end had no life and everything was made entirely out of pillows, blankets, and bedding. Which would later lead to it given the simple yet fitting name Pillow World.

It was there where Hoagie learned more about Bill's plans revolving around the portal, as well as the truth about Pacifica Cipher, and Nyx's own backstory as well. Where she revealed to him she was the forced apprentice to a friend of Bill's Klarion, and that when she died rather than a afterlife she would be turned into a Lord or in her case Lady of Chaos like Klarion.

    Hoagie and Nyx would end up spending years in Pillow World, growing up together alone. But overtime their feelings for each other would grow stronger changing from friendship to love. The change in their relationship happening one night where passions and tempers erupted, when the two ended up in a argument that lead to them kissing and more, after that night their lives were changed forever. It was then they inadvertently conceived a baby and Nyx gave birth to a daughter they named Sky Entrapta Gilligan even though they are not married but to least give her his family name. After the birth of his daughter with him adjusting to and taking to fatherhood quite well, watching in pride and joy with Nyx as their daughter grew into a intelligent cheerful child. Who would spend many nights watching Hoagie as he drew up ideas for various machines, and would later join him in his research after learning to read, draw, and write.

Hoagie would also witness life being brought to the formerly empty dimension of Pillow World in a new civilization, thanks to Nyx's Pillownomicon and the power gifted to her by the Blue Fairy. Sometime later Hoagie had accepted and made peace the apparent reality that he would never be returning to Earth, and would spend the rest of his life in Pillow World with the family he had made for himself.

However soon Hoagie would receive a visit in his dreams from a very unwelcome Bill Cipher. Who Hoagie would meet with open hostility wanting him gone. Bill would make a offer for a way for Hoagie and his daughter to return to Earth, but explained that the catch in Nyx having to stay because Klarion has greater claim over her.

Naturally Hoagie refused the deal but Bill would than reveal that Hoagie wouldn't be in Pillow World long anyway, showing a vision of the future where Hoagie in a lab and as a child again somehow was confronted by daughter now older being a young woman in age, expressed her hate for him claiming he abandon her and Nyx in Pillow World to die there to save himself.

Hoagie horrified at this vision demanded Bill tell how that could happen, as he would never leave Nyx and Sky. Bill explained about the portal would be running soon and that it would have major effects across not only Earth but other dimensions like Pillow World, and that a dimensional rift would open on Pillow World allowing return to Earth.

Bill would leave after giving Hoagie knowledge when and where the rift would open, leaving Hoagie with a new plan. Which would be to send Sky to Earth for a chance at a normal life there, at the cost of seeing their daughter grow up or ever seeing her again.

Hoagie along with Nyx would in the next number of years prepare for and dread the day of the rift opening. When the day finally arrived Hoagie after preparing a message for his daughter would watch with a broken heart as Nyx sent their daughter through the rift to Earth, and immediately moved to hug and comfort her as both of them broke down in tears.

The decades following giving up their daughter would have Hoagie with Nyx despite the pain and the hole in their hearts and lives, and the shadows of Bill Cipher and Klarion having over them. The two would try to live their lives and be happy, as they knew that Sky wouldn't want them miserable because of her.

Hoagie would choose to live the following years in Pillow World with Nyx as a happy, though both making sure to avoid having another child.

### Rebirth

Checking himself out when realised he was alive and young again, but knowing what she’s done and her Fate. But uncertain where he was until he met an old man by the name of Stanford Pines and said to meet him that could help stop Bill Cipher, and maybe reunite with his family. When the portal from Earth was opened by Stanley Pines, both he and Ford stepped through to meet everyone. Hoagie received a beaten from his grandmother for not only making his family believed he died, but also having a daughter out of wedlock He listened to the senior siblings’ story of how they were brought up in Jersey, Ford losing his chance to a possibly dream by his brother’s screw up, and make his way to Gravity Falls to study the strange and paranormal.

He found out that it’s been a few days since Sky came to Earth through the portal and told everyone the story of how it happened and his life in Pillow World, while continuously received a sack from his grandmother’s cane. After the Government agency had left Gravity Falls with no memories of the events, he went on to hunt down the one of the remaining members of Bill Cipher's Cult, Bud Gleeful. Confronted him with his grandmother in his home and disrupted his powers with his connection to the Dream Demon severed, pinning him down and almost shot him with his pistol had Lydia not stopped him. Instead they took him away for questioning.

### Gravity Falls Election

### Goblin takes Flight & long awaited reunion

Following his return to Earth Hoagie would secretly start working and preparing for a way to get Nyx back, and take the fight to Cipher and Klarion. His work would eventually bore fruitful results in the form of not only a new armor, glider, and array of weaponry but in the form of a new identity the Grimm Goblin.

After his work was complete he would don his identity in the midst of Weirdmageddon and manage to track down and confront Nyx. Following a battle where thanks to his careful preparations beforehand he managed to turn the tables on both Nyx and Professor Pericles, managing to capture the former.

## Quotes

* Hoagie's message to Nigel, Abby, and Wally: *Hey, Nigel, Abby and Wally.*

*"I hope this message gets to you guys. The library is about the only place in Gravity Falls
that's got Wi-Fi aside from the Northwest Mansion but I don't feel comfortable trying to email you guys from there. I had a bit of a good time here. I made some new friends and I got a have a little fun but I
think something is seriously wrong up here.*

*I am not sure you guys would believe me if I told you everything even if you guys
have experienced weird things before. What I've seen challenges I believe in a world where science explains everything like Doctor Time Space and the Continuums even though you guys don't like that show. I like sci-fi, I like to believe there is more to our world than we know and I like to dream of one day souring among the clouds and seeing everything out there.*

*But lately there are things I've
seen here that I thought was only imaginary, that could never be real and the real scary thing it excites more than it scares me. Ever since my dad's accident I've wanted to find answers, to understand why what happened to him happened. One day I answered a question and it led me here. Now I know that the person asking the question had the answers I wanted but I am not sure I want to know anymore.*

*All I can do is start looking for answers instead of expecting someone to answer them for me and hope I haven't made a horrible mistake.*

*Your buddy, Hoagie."*
