late-night Poptropica OC intros and world headcanons…
hey everyone! so… i’ve been coming up with my own canon/interpretation/additions to the not-so-consistent and concrete lore of Poptropica (more of the in-game stuff rather than the books FYI) it’s probably gonna sound super silly, but eh. lemme have fun! :P
so, i realized how there isn’t really any explanation on why your lil’ guy goes around on a blimp and collects medallions… and so i’ve created an lighter-than-air-vehicle-centered guild where Maroon, my main Poptropica OC is a member of, and earns medallions through!🏅
this is all still a WIP, but here’s what i’ve got so far:
in the guild, aspiring pilots learn to fly, maintain and/or build airships, as well as carry out missions to different islands that they can choose to do that are presented on a mission board, and are paid upon completion. a majority of them are cargo transport jobs, but there’s odd job offers, and even more riskier ones like spy missions. they are all set up by other people, companies, organizations, traders/merchants etc.
if a Poptropican completes notable missions, they earn a medallion as well as getting paid. it gives them an incentive as well as bragging rights! 😎
but yeah! i have some more stuff on it, but that’s the basics. i don’t want this post to be too wordy
anyways, onto my two main(ish) OCs, Maroon Ring and Aster! (i still need to figure out a last name for her LOL) if she doesn’t look familiar to you, that’s bc i lowkey forgot about her, oops…. i’m finally starting to work on her again! oh, and she went by a different name previously.
Maroon: my main gal you’ve probably seen! she’s a seasoned airship pilot and guild member with her own ride, the Waxwing! 🌟 she joined the guild to get away from taking upon the family’s pawn shop, and she doesn’t regret a thing! though, on her travels, she sometimes finds herself marooned, (ha get it?) which has led to some interesting counters both on land and air…and had the misfortune of coming across a fleet of Sky Pirates…
Aster: the cunning captain of the mysterious but formidable fleet of Sky Pirates that she leads across the skies of Poptropica! any unlucky air travelers who crosses their path will be captured. despite her stern look, Aster has humble seamstress origins, and creates custom clothing for her crew. yay! 💜
side note: i came up with the Sky Pirates for the 2020 dream island contest, but never got around to finishing anything. so, i’ve made them a part of my own ideas! yippee!
anyways, that’s it for now, lemme know what ya think! i’ve really only shared this all with my friends who aren’t into Poptropica, so i really could use some input from u all! 🫶
