Poppy Playtime: Partytime!
By MatchMaker Amethyst
The Smiling Critters are a group of young critters on a journey to fulfill the Playtime Land Prophecy. They were given magical backpacks and weapons as heirlooms passed down to their family generations. The pendants act as sources of magic and storage for their magical gear. Their families are the Magical Guardian Knights of Playtime, called the Smiling Knights.
DogDay: The sunny, strong, and determined leader of our critters! Each trusts him to find the bright side in any situation and to have a friendly word of encouragement should they feel down. He'll always keep his friends going, no matter what. However, if you mess up or hurt his friends, including his BFFL(Best Friend For Life) CatNap, he will turn you into his latest chew toy. His pendant grants him Solar Magic Techniques (HTTPS/powerlifting./wiki/Solar_Magic), Sensitive Smell, and Encouragement: With a friendly word or a simple gesture, DogDay can boost the morale of his team, making everyone feel valued and motivated. He was given the Vanilla Backpack, the Tennis Ball Shield, and the Bone Sword. His rival Nightmare Critter is Baba Chops, whom he finds scary but is unaware of her feelings towards him.
CatNap: He is a calming presence for the critters and ensures he and his friends always have the right amount of sleep to jumpstart the morning's play! CatNap enjoys nothing more than watching his friends sleep soundly. While he would rather sleep all day, he ensures that his friends, including his BFFL, DogDay, don't turn into wild animals. His pendant has the magic of Lunar Magic(HTTPS/powerlifting./wiki/Lunar_Magic), Serenity Inducement: They can induce feelings of peace and tranquility in others, helping to calm anxiety and stress, and Tail Manipulation. CatNap has the Lavender Backpack and the Silvervine Staff. His Nightmare Critter rival is Rabie Baby, whom he finds annoying because she disrupts his sleep, but he is unaware of her crush on him.
Hoppy Hopscotch: Unafraid to hop where others might sit, Hoppy is the friend everyone needs to maintain energy and enthusiasm. While sometimes loud or impatient, she'll always hop beside her friends, even if it means slowing up occasionally to keep their pace. She would often have fights with KickinChicken because of her competitive energy. Her pendant gives her Unlimited Stamina: They never tire, allowing them to perform physical and mental tasks continuously without fatigue; enhanced Speed: Their boundless energy translates into superhuman speed, enabling them to move and react faster than normal humans; and Sensitive Hearing. She has the Peppermint Backpack and the Carrot Spear. Her rival is Allister Gator, and she's annoyed by his lazy attitude. Her rival is Allister Gator, who is annoyed by his laziness.
PickyPiggy: What's more important than play and learning? PickyPiggy knows the answer. A playful body and a keen mind are fueled by what's put into them, so she encourages her friends to eat a well-balanced diet. Secretly, PBs are her favorite food. She has a keen nose for what's edible but can't tell the difference between waxed food and natural food. The pendant had Enhanced Metabolism: Their body can process food incredibly efficiently, instantly converting it into energy. Food Sensing: They can detect whether a substance is edible, identifying toxins, allergens, and harmful ingredients with a glance or sniff. Unlimited Appetite: They can consume massive quantities of food without adverse effects, maintaining their health and energy levels. Picky is given the Citrus Backpack, the Truffle-Seeking Staff, and the Boar Tusk Dagger. Her rival is Maggie Mako, and she's apprehensive about her unhealthy diet.
KickinChicken: The cool kid of the crew, and he maintains that sense of calm through anything, even in the tensest of situations. Knock him down, and he'll pick himself up, brush himself off, and ask: "What's next?" Kickin would pick fights with Hoppy because he wants to show that he's the cool one of the group. His pendant has Stress Immunity: They are immune to stress's physical and mental effects, allowing them to perform at their best even in high-stakes scenarios. Willpower Manipulation(https/powerlisting./wiki/Willpower_Manipulation), and Enhanced Focus: They can maintain laser-sharp focus and concentration, filtering out distractions and staying on task regardless of external pressures. Kickin has the Ylang-ylang Backpack, the Gump Spur Gauntlets, and the Capon Feathered Cape. His Nightmare Critter rival, Icky Licky, is annoyed by his sore loser attitude and would fight with him.
Bobby BearHug: A kind, caring soul, Bobby BearHug shows compassion for everyone and everything. People and places and things, large or small, are all receivers of her love. This attention and affection enrich others, and so does she. Unfortunately, Bobby doesn't know her strength because her hugs can become bone-crushing bear hugs. Her pendant allows Bobby to do Love Empowerment(Love Empowerment Superpower Wiki Fandom), Healing Touch: Their compassionate nature will enable them to heal physical and emotional wounds with a simple touch, bringing comfort and relief to those in pain, and Protective Aura: Their compassion creates a protective aura around them and those they care for, shielding them from harm and negative influences. Bobby's weapons are the Rose Backpack and the Cuddle Claws(in the form of a Heart Ring). Her rival is Poe, whom she tries to help embrace sunshine and show him the good things it has.
CraftyCorn: A conscious observer of both color and creativity in the world. CraftyCorn understands the importance of art and sharing it with others. With crayons, pencils, paint, or words on the page, CraftyCorn can see beauty in anything imagined and given shape. However, she seems to have an obsession with red, which is concerning. Her pendant is strong enough for Reality Drafting: They can sketch or write descriptions of objects, scenarios, or events and bring them into reality. Their creations are limited only by their imagination. Color Manipulation: They can control and manipulate colors, using them to create illusions, camouflage, or even influence emotions and moods. Enhanced Creativity: They have access to an exceptional number of ideas and can think outside the box, solving problems with innovative and artistic solutions. The Jasmine Backpack, the Unihorn Lance, and the Invisibility Colorful Cloak were given to CraftyCorn. Her Nightmare Critter rival is Simon Smoke, whom she finds scary because he tends to be too close to her, and she's unaware that he wants to win her hand.
Bubba Bubbaphant: He is the brains of the critters. Bright and attentive, he keeps his friends steady and always steers them to make intelligent choices; that way, they all might grow up bright and brilliant. When Bubba hears someone solving problems and puzzles incorrectly, he immediately corrects them. His pendant is Strategic Thinking: They excel at planning and strategy, can anticipate multiple outcomes, and devise the best course of action. Memory Mastery: They have perfect or near-perfect memory, can recall vast amounts of information accurately and instantly, and have Enhanced Intelligence(Enhanced Intelligence Superpower Wiki Fandom). His rival is Touille, whom he finds disgusting and unreliable in knowledge. Bubba's weapons are the Lemongrass Backpack, the Trunk Mace, and the Shield of Truth. His rival is Touille, whom he finds disgusting and unreliable.
The Nightmare Critters: They are the rivals of the Smiling Critters. Upon hearing about the Smiling Critters going on a journey filled with magic and adventure, they follow them because, in their own words, they don't want the Smiling Critters to take all the glory and get the chance to show they're better than them. But in reality, the Nightmare Critters wish to join them because they think it's fun and secretly want to prove they can be their friends. However, there are some other reasons. Along the way, they uncover their parents' magical backpacks and family weapons. They also unlock their magical powers because they are descendants of the Dark Knights of Playtime Land, the Nightmare Knights.
Baba Chops: The "black sheep" of the bunch, Baba prefers to keep her space. Like, a LOT of space. TOO MUCH space. She can be distant, quiet, and low-energy, and it usually requires a LOT of coaxing to get her out of the house. Luckily for her, she has some VERY persistent friends. She usually perks up after a while, but we return to the same tune the next day. She's the leader of the Nightmare Critters for some reason and is the rival to DogDay. She has feelings for DogDay, finding him so cute to eat him, but not literally. DogDay is the only person she wishes not to have space with. She gains the Anise Backpack and the Nightfall Axe: A massive, double-headed axe glows with a faint, eerie light. It has the power to summon shadows that can bind or blind enemies. Her magic is Life and Death Manipulation. Fear Inducement: She could emit an aura that instills fear and anxiety in others, reflecting her angsty and reclusive nature. Silent Stalker: Baba Chops could move silently and swiftly, making it difficult for her prey to detect her until it's too late.
Icky Licky: Icky's the type of kid to fall behind in a relay race and IMMEDIATELY pin it on a sore knee, even when that's NOT the case. He's the very definition of a poor sport. Even though he's naturally talented, he's constantly challenging everyone on everything, usually without the outcome Icky expects (don't worry, he has an excuse ready). He is KickinChickin's rival because they're both athletically inclined. Both would argue constantly, making them the first of their groups to start a fight. But secretly, he admires Kickin for his calm attitude and wants to be better like him. Icky gets equipped with the Coffee Backpack and the Toxic Tongue Whip. Each whip lash delivers a potent venom capable of temporarily paralyzing opponents. His magic is Illusionary Tricks: To match his competitive and deceptive personality, he could create illusions to confuse and mislead his opponents, making them see things that aren't there. Venomous Spit: He could spit venom at his enemies, temporarily blinding or paralyzing them, which fits his tendency to blame external factors for his losses. Camouflage: Icky Licky could blend into his surroundings, becoming nearly invisible to sneak up on opponents or escape tricky situations.
Rabie Baby: Rabie Baby couldn't keep a secret if her life depended on it. If there's one thing in the world she loves, it's gossiping, and she's very practiced at it. Rabie has no concept of privacy or boundaries; if she's in the room, you can bet she's eavesdropping on someone. Don't worry; if she ever runs out of juicy secrets to talk about, she'll make some up! She's considered CatNap's rival because he would keep things calm and asleep instead, while she would rather gossip a lot and be like a beauty queen flirt. She is interested in CatNap, finding everything about him charming and alluring. He would be her main target to flirt with, and she likes to tease him about his relationship with DogDay, but it's a way to hide her jealousy toward their friendship. Rabie is equipped with the Bubblegum Backpack and the Mystic Blade; it can bind the soul of a defeated enemy, granting the wielder temporary access to their abilities and knowledge. She has the magic of Vampiric Charm: With her vampire bat traits, Rabie can mesmerize others, compelling them to reveal their secrets or do her bidding. Gossip Whisper: Rabie can magically eavesdrop on any conversation within a certain radius, making it impossible for others to keep secrets from her. Shadow Flight: Rabie can silently glide through the shadows using her bat-like wings, making her presence almost undetectable.
Allister Gator: Allister's an all-around lazy guy. He's chill, sure, but if he could, he'd spend ALL DAY in the water doing pretty much nothing. He isn't a fan of the whole "put in the effort and see that effort rewarded" bit. He's much more a believer of the philosophy: "Good things have to come to me... Eventually. I just need to wait around for it". (He's STILL waiting). He's Hoppy Hopscotch's rival because their energies are very different. Though he instead does nothing all day, Hoppy's energizing spirit may have given him the inspiration to try and not be useless to his friends. He obtains the Sandalwood Backpack and the Lazy River Staff: A staff that can summon a lazy river, allowing Allister to float and relax while the current carries him away from danger. His magic is Lethargy Aura: Reflecting his slacker attitude, Allister could emit an aura that induces drowsiness or laziness in others, making them less motivated to act. Water Manipulation: Given his laid-back nature and love for lounging, Allister could control and manipulate water, creating waves or shields. Camouflage: His lime green scales and army-green patterns allow him to blend seamlessly into his surroundings, making him nearly invisible.
Simon Smoke: Simon Smoke knows he's cool and popular and ensures nobody ever forgets it. Whether showing off for friends or just bragging about one of his accomplishments, it's always a popularity contest with him. Almost always, he wins. In truth, he's a colossal jerk, but he does have a knack for getting away with being one. Even though he is the rival of CraftyCorn, he finds her enchanting enough to be a princess in his eyes. So, he desires to marry her, thinking he might end up super rich, although his feelings may be more profound than gain.
Poe: Poe hates the sun and thinks it is a cruel trick of nature that the world needs in the first place. Most comfortable in the dark, they spend their nights hanging around graveyards, listening to music, and feeling vaguely angry at nothing. They insist it isn't a phase. Their rival is Bobby BearHug. Poe can't stand her attempts to make them embrace the sunlight. They can't even stand Bobby's affections and hugs.
Touille: Touille (pronounced two-ee!) is a self-proclaimed "Trash Rodent." He's a lively conversationalist when he's not busy eating and collecting garbage. He talks a lot, which is made all the more surprising by his having little to say. If you ever need someone to provide "insightful" commentary or some random piece of junk, Touille is your guy. His rival is Bubba Bubbaphant. However, Touille finds Bubba inspirational in wanting to be innovative. So, Touille tries his best to become competent and hopes Bubba will see him as his equal so they can be friends.
Maggie Mako: Maggie is always thinking about her belly. She's happiest with food in her mouth, and believe us, she's NOT picky. She LOVES sweets, but veggies? Yuck. Don't be surprised if she takes your "health eating habits" advice with a dabble of sugar, some chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a big cherry, all while laughing at you profusely. Her Smiling Critter rival is PickyPiggy. She's very annoyed at how too concerned Picky gets about her diet. Due to her shark habits, Maggie can't help but play bite Picky. However, Maggie hates getting fat from eating too many sweets and is trying to limit herself while secretly trying to conquer her fear of vegetables.
