Bio
THE LITTLEBIGPLANETIAN
Sackboy is a cheerful and friendly individual from LittleBigPlanet with a penchant for creating worlds. He has journeyed across worlds to defeat creatures of destruction such as the Negativatron and the Hoard. He leaves behind him a trail of creativity, sharing his flair with all those he meets. Of all the All-Stars, Sackboy has by far the most versatile and unique arsenal. With so many options to choose from, Sackboy may have found himself too spoiled for choice. But for an individual as creative as he, creativity is no issue.
Intro
Sackboy returned to the village of Loom, having thwarted the evil schemes of Vex who tried to enslave the sackpeople and take over the world. He greeted everybody as he went, on his way to meet the elder sackwoman, Scarlet. Once he reached her, we waved while smiling his usual wide, charming smile. "Hello Sackboy, so glad you could come. I take it you're ready for another adventure?" Sackboy nodded. "Well, it's like this Sackboy. There's a dastardly old fella in another world who wants to make a world without creativity! Can you believe that?" Sackboy was horrified. He lived for creativity. Without it, life would be grey and boring and...grey and boring! "Well, I figured there wouldn't be anybody better to spread a bit of creativity and joy to that world than you Sackboy. So what do you say? I've prepared a rocket for you if you're up for it." Sackboy nodded and smiled, hopping into the rocket. "Good luck, Sackboy! Hope you do well!" Sackboy waved out the window before the rocket blasted into the sky, ready to take him into strange and uncharted territory.
Rival Scene
Sackboy merrily skipped along on his way to find out what all the fuss was about. It didn't seem to bother him that just about everyone he'd encountered so far had tried to attack him, he was happy enough with seeing all these new people. The next one would prove to be the most deadly... "What an incredible creature..." The skull-headed man remarked. Sackboy looked at him, unfazed by his disturbing appearance. "What force of nature created you? Let me guess, a wish gone wrong?" Sackboy didn't quite know what he was talking about, but nevertheless he would try to make friends. He opened his Popit, much to the amazement of Mr. Grimm. "What?! Impossible!" Sackboy placed down a hopscotch mat and began playing. Once we was done his turn, he gestured for Mr. Grimm to have a go. But the reaper was having none of it. He pulled out his scythe. "I see how it is now! You aren't a victim of Calypso, you're a minion!" His skull lit up with green flames. "I'll dispatch of you just like all the rest!" Sackboy became unnerved by the sudden change in attitude and appearance of Mr. Grimm, but he remembered all the other times he had come up against fearsome foes. All he had to do was be brave and trust in himself to win! Yeah, that was it! With new found courage in his heart, Sackboy matched his opponent's aggression and prepared to pummel him.
Outro
Sackboy returned home no worse for wear than when he left. "Good to see you back, Sackboy! I hope it all went well!" Sackboy nodded, trying to explain what happened. Alas without words it was rather difficult. "I would have gone myself, but Loom needs me, y'know?" It was a lie, Scarlet was past her prime, but Sackboy wasn't the cynical type. Even if all the people he met would have preferred to fight him than create with him, it was still nice to see so many new places and people. He headed back home to his own world, ready to use his creativity to make the best world he possibly could. By sharing, designing and creating, he made everywhere he went a brighter and happier place. He thought about this as he looked at his latest project, currently a blank canvas. He then began to glow blue, using the new power he had to enhance his creativity. Whatever this turned out to be, it would be spectacular.

Author's Note
God, I love LittleBigPlanet. Such fun times I had with it way back when the original came out on PS3. Sackboy is an adorable lil' dude and in my eyes was the Playstation mascot during that awkward era between the PS2 and the Knack experiment. I haven't played his PS5 game due to not having the console, but Sony can convince me to buy one is All-Stars 2 gets a release on it. I am aware Sackboy speaks in A Big Adventure, but that ruins the character for me, I always imagined him being mute so mute he stays.
The Mr. Grimm rivalry was a result of everyone else already having a rivalry primarily. I also thought it was funny and was able to come up with the creativity vs destruction, life vs death stuff. I guess I stand by it but I know that's not exactly great reasoning. But humour is the best reasoning for anything.
