My own sandbox that I found after about 10 minutes of hopeless searching. Isn't it fun to have a personal box with sand in it?
My (soon-to-be) involvement in Tropers: The Series.
I've been coming up with my own weird little canon for years now, so I've had these ideas in there for a while. I just needed to adjust them a little to fit into TTS.Characters:
Fuzzy
My main character in the series. He's a young teenager who is often laidback and mature, but can still fall into childish behaviour and is always innocent. He is quite smart and imaginative, but he resents being ordinary, especially in comparison to the other tropers. He always carries around a backpack with infinite storage, a notebook that he is often seen doodling in (and may or may not alter reality), and a ruler that can turn into a katana, which he calls the Katuler. When he is not lazing around or playing video games, he can be seen building extraordinary contraptions or experimenting with the ones he finds in Nowhere. He can build near anything with little to no explanation. At the end of his debut episode, he reveals to the tropers his backstory.
Before his appearance in the series, Fuzzy was an ordinary teenager who often hung out with his two best friends and classmates Pete and Eddie. However, their schooldays were often interrupted by bizarre events, monster attacks and the like. Also, he was often pursued by his arch-nemesis Lord Thingymabob, the King of Objects, who swore vengeance to him for discovering his home dimension, Nowhere. On the day of Fuzzy's debut, he was at on a school trip to a museum, but his school made the mistake of letting the students take the public bus. Pete and Eddie, who were both reckless troublemakers, convinced Fuzzy to stay on the bus with him, where they messed about for several stops. After a while, Fuzzy, the sensible voice of reason in the group, realised that they were lost, and, after an argument, Fuzzy stormed out of the bus, but unknown to him, he had arrived in Tropesburg. He finds the tropers, and, wanting to stay with them, finds a cloning machine in Nowhere to create a clone of himself that will go off and live his ordinary life, leaving him with the rest of the tropers.
- Absurd Phobia: Starfish.
- Badass Normal: He is more or less a normal teenager, his inventions and knowledge of a Pocket Dimension aside.
- Bag of Holding: His backpack is a normal size, but has infinite storage, often containing the most convenient things.
- Cartoon Physics: He can often manipulate this both by himself and with his inventions.
- Deadpan Snarker: He often becomes this when irritated.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He is capable of building anything, and keeps his many ridiculous gadgets in his room.
- Iconic Item: His notebook. He is seen drawing in it a lot, and carries it around wherever he goes.
- In other situations, the Katuler, which despite being a plastic ruler/sword, is somehow an Absurdly Sharp Blade.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Hence, the Katuler.
- Running Gag: One of his inventions somehow makes a hole in the wall.
- Verbal Tic: Humming, sometimes involuntarily.
Peppy the Parrot
- Badass Adorable: Despite being seemingly harmless, he can (try to) defend himself in dangerous circumstances.
- Buffy Speak: He is prone to this.
- Funny Animal: An anthropomorphic talking parrot.
- Keet: A literal bird example.
- Motor Mouth: Being a parrot, he tends to talk a lot. To an annoying extent.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: A baby parrot no larger than a small dog.
Lord Thingymabob
Click here to see his greater form.
Lord Thingymabob, also known as the King of Objects, is Fuzzy's arch-nemesis and a being that has authority over all objects in the universe. However, he has a pompous view of himself, and is often too self-absorbed to be taken seriously. He has two forms, his lesser form being a crudely drawn stickman with a crown on its head, and his greater form, which is used as a suit that he can enter to gain control of, and is a giant scrunched up piece of paper, with a face and crown doodled on top. He has the power of telekinesis, as well as the ability to enter the physical form of objects and control them at his will. He lives in the dimension of Nowhere, the realm where lost things go, where he schemes towards his goal of an object uprising in which objects will take over the Earth and enslave humankind. When things are lost, they are summoned by Lord Thingymabob to become pawns for his object army. However, his plans were thwarted by Fuzzy when he accidentally entered Nowhere, becoming the first human (that we know of) to enter this dimension. Fuzzy was since then cursed to be seen as an enemy to all objects, until the day that he travelled back to Nowhere to duel with Lord Thingymabob for his freedom, and won. In return, Fuzzy was granted an object from Nowhere, and he chose the Infinity Backpack. This didn't stop Lord Thingymabob from becoming his sworn enemy, as Fuzzy was now the only thing standing in the way of his world domination.
TROPES WILL COME PROBABLY NEVER, SINCE I'M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT ADDING HIM.
Locations:
Nowhere
Nowhere is a Pocket Dimension where things go when they get lost. It functions as an Eldritch Location unknown to most humans, with Fuzzy being the only known human to enter it. Note that it is quite similar to "The Void" in The Amazing World of Gumball. It can be entered through constructing the Box Portal, a fortress of cardboard boxes with one on top, acting as the gateway. It is eventually discovered by all the tropers in a forthcoming episode. As well as being the realm where Lord Thingymabob summons lost objects, it is also home to many otherworldly objects with all kinds of wonderful functions deemed too powerful for human use. However, Fuzzy see no problem in entering Nowhere to mess around and check out an endless void of extraordinary objects, much to the annoyance of Lord Thingymabob.

- imo, stuff like this works better when it’s worked in naturally. Great NPCs are found when they’re worked into plots. I don’t have issue with any of the characters, but prepping all these characters beforehand is sort of unnecessary. -Taco Badger
- Insofar as I know myself, I don't think there have been many that've prepped alot to debut. Still, nice episode material! (disclaimer: I debuted in January 2021, and the show goes back to July 2017, which means there may be info that I'm wrong about) -Some Libre
If there's anything you guys don't want, I can always cut it out. I'm not sure about adding Lord Thingymabob and the other stuff, because it feels like I'm kinda forcing my canon into the show. Thanks for reading this page!
