Popoi (EntityTopic, 7)

From Compile Worlds

(Difference between revisions)

Latest revision as of 22:45, 27 October 2015

Popoi is an demonic cat puppet in the Puyo series and a major antagonist in Compile Worlds. He is thought to be the evil mastermind behind both Puyo Puyo Fever and the Pre-Meteor Arc shenanigans, and is widely known more for his terrifying(?) power as a dark mage than he is as Ms. Accord's pet puppet. Though his legacy as a villain lives on to this very day, he has mostly been an omnipresent threat; only appearing in 2 episodes. It is his antics that spurred the creation of the Anti Dark Magic Alliance. Recently however, he showed up aiding Accord in doing good... albeit rather reluctantly.

Biography

Popoi's past is widely unknown. It's not even sure where he came from or why Accord came to be his main tool in his destructive schemes. Regardless, he eventually came to be the "Prince of Darkness", pretending to be Accord's idiot puppet cat in order to draw suspicion away from himself and to his pawn. In an act of betrayal of conniving wit, Popoi came to be in possession of Accord's Flying Cane, though why is uncertain. Popoi was defeated by both Amitie and Raffine, sending Popoi back to his puppet form for a very long time. Recently however, he has completely separated from Accord.

Popoi's motives are as mysterious as his origins. Much like Ekoro and Accord, Popoi is a bit of a nomad and a hider; hiding places and never staying in one place too long. What has been seen of Popoi shows that he appears to be extremely sadistic, as all of his victims are slowly and/or painfully tortured, blackmailed and traumatized. He is also a master of manipulation, as shown by the fact that he is able to control both Accord and Tarutaru as willing pawns. Apparently, he also has an acquired taste for Norwegian Black Metal, calling Draco a racist asshole for dissing on it.

Popoi's power is quite uncertain, unlike that of nearly any other Compile Worlds antagonist thus far. Judging from past events, Popoi is stated to be an extremely powerful dark mage, though this has never been seen. However, he has been able to shrug off multiple attacks, suggesting a strong resistance to normal magic, if nothing else. Also of note is that Popoi is a quick-escape artist, able to make epic get-aways at the most convenient of times. He is also a shop keeper in his spare time, and is implied to be able to share his near-invulnerability with Accord.

Etymology

The origin of Popoi's name is not known at the time of this revision. (Or maybe just not by the person writing)

Trivia

Popoi has only appeared in two episodes.
- In both these appearances, he was played by User:Black Amendment... who will ~~eventually~~ never play him again.
It is interesting to note that in Puyo Puyo Quest, Popoi refers to only the puppet form of Popoi, while Black Popoi refers to the demon cat version seen in Puyo Puyo Fever. Whether that means that the demon Popoi is canonically called Black Popoi or not is a mystery.

-'''Popoi''' is a [[demon]]ic black [[cat]] that is also a [[puppet]]. He first appeared in [[Puyo Puyo Fever]], under the ownership of [[Ms. Accord]]. The [[two]] were quickly revealed to [[Plans to take over the world|be in cahoots]] to [[rape|violate]] their <[#linkfarm [item [[Amitie]]|[[Raffine]]] [tpl fellow students]]> with a [[flying cane]]. Needless to say, this plan almost [[fail]]ed, and were it not for the [[convenience]] of a [[giant mallet]] pulled from [[hammerspace]], Popoi's sinister allegations would have surely been exposed. In the subsequent games, Popoi [[plays dumb]] by pretending to be Accord's [[sarcasm|sarcastic]] alter ego, lashing out in blunt, cruel words. However, [[Zoh Daimaoh]] and [[Akuma]] revealed the [[stupid]]ity behind it all and tried to ruin the dynamic duo once again. Popoi once again narrowly avoided being exposed by turning himself into a [[projectile]] [[weapon of mass destruction]].

-[[You|No one]], even us at [[Kumizone]], knows exactly whether ''Popoi the [[Demon]]'' and ''Popoi the [[Puppet]]'' are [[one]] and the same, or are two different entities.  One might ask "who cares?", but this relationship serves as the second biggest [[plot hole]] [[SEGA]]'s created and [[Dancing Mad|danced around]] to date, the first being [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], of course.

-Nevertheless, the exact nature of Popoi has been speculated.
-Popoi has also made small appearances in the on going [[Subete PuyoPuyo]] role play, as documented below.

-== Appearance in Subete PuyoPuyo ==
+== Etymology ==
+The origin of Popoi's name is not known at the time of this revision. ([[User:Chao|Or maybe just not by the person writing]])
-Despite being nearly [[omnipresent]] the entire time, Popoi has become one of the main antagonists of Subete PuyoPuyo. Many of his evil deeds have affected a member of the [[ADMA]] in someway or another, and thus it is their personal goal to off him, though it is fairly difficult to do so since his appearances are so sparse. He is shown to have a sarcastic wit, demonstrated when he insisted to [[Mikki]] that he was a [[Pool filter]]. He is also capable of heavy [[dark magic]], and though the extent of this power is not clear, he could use it to [[black mail]] or even [[possession|force Accord to do things against her will]]. [[Log:RP/Subete PuyoPuyo/2|The Satan Arc]] also revealed that Popoi is fluent in [[Italian]] and has a taste for [[Norwegian]] [[Black Metal]], claiming he has "[[The best|the finest]]" taste in music because of it (though this in itself is questionable).

-Popoi first appeared in the Satan Arc, for a brief appearance under Accord's ownership. He and Accord frantically tried to pretend there was nothing [[Lemres|suspicious]] about their relationship, though in the end made it more awkward. Popoi then [[teleport|vanished as mysteriously as he appeared]], no one suspecting the plan he had in store.
+== Trivia ==
+*Popoi has only appeared in two episodes.
-Popoi then was semi featured as a prominent villain of the Accord Arc, where it was revealed at the very end that he had orchestrated the entire ordeal, possibly to kill Accord herself. Popoi made his only in person appearance in the entire arc, and his second appearance to date, in [[Log:RP/Subete PuyoPuyo/7|Episode 7]], where he reveals he and Accord used [[TaruTaru]] to learn the secret location of [[Draco's Hut]], the temporary and crowded HQ of the ADMA at the time. Popoi attempted to enact a survival [[game show]] called [[Jump to Conclusions]], but failed due to the stubbornness of the ADMA. Eventually Popoi's sharp tongue lashing annoyed [[Witch (Madou Monogatari)|Witch]] enough to shoot a [[lightning bolt]] off at him, but he seemed seldom fazed. During the confusion and chaos, [[Sig]] exploded in an emotional [[rage]], giving Popoi and Accord the perfect cover for their escape, taking the still caged TaruTaru with them. Later Accord confessed Popoi was pawning her the entire time as she burned to death. In light of her unfortunate circumstances, the ADMA renamed themselves and swore to avenge Accord by killing Popoi. He hasn't appeared or been mentioned since. With his whereabouts unknown, and the rise and fall of the vile [[Ekoro]] (psych!), he vanished into obscurity.
+**In both these appearances, he was played by [[User:Black Amendment]]... who will <s>''eventually''</s> never play him again.
+*It is interesting to note that in [[Puyo Puyo Quest]], ''Popoi'' refers to only the puppet form of Popoi, while ''Black Popoi'' refers to the demon cat version seen in Puyo Puyo Fever. Whether that means that the demon Popoi is canonically called ''Black Popoi'' or not is a mystery.
-Both times Popoi appeared, he was played by [[Son-X]], informally known in the chat logs as ''Yellow Puyo''. He has expressed explicitly he will not reprise the role for the inevitable Popoi Arc, or any future cameo appearences.
