I love foxes, inflatables, and cartoony stuff, so I’m all about having fun and enjoying life! I am 24 years old, and I was born in 12/29/2001!

Fritz the fox pooltoy is the adopted son of Pooltopia's mysteriously rich porcupine pooltoy mayor. He often travels around in a posse with his raccoon and badger pooltoy lackies, who follow him wherever he goes. He uses said posse and his status as a rich kid to prank and bully innocent Pooltopians, who are usually powerless to stop him. His deranged, so-called "pranks" range from supergluing an active helium hose to a bystander's belly valve, to hijacking a noble gas shipment vehicle and making off with the goods. Said actions and a lot more have netted him and his posse quite the infamous reputation as an out-of-control gang of criminals with nothing better to do but cause chaos! Because of his inherent wealth and power as part of the mayor's family, Pooltopia's many law enforcement agencies constantly struggle to try and convict him for his misdeeds. And he knows this, frequently bragging to his two cronies about slipping off the hook and sticking it to the cops. This, in turn, gives him one of the biggest and most hugely inflated egos around the entire city-island. But his sheer cockiness also tends to be his downfall, in other ways. There's always at least one Pooltopian who cheers in relief when this jerk finally gets what he deserves! Whenever he encounters Splash and friends, there's always a 50/50 chance of Sean getting provoked by him, sending both of them rolling on the streets and attracting a crowd. Fritz and Sean have a bitter rivalry and history, of which Fritz brings up and mocks Sean for leaving his posse every chance he can get. Unfortunately for Sean, Fritz almost always gets away with this, again, due to having legal protection from any persecution via his dad. Unfortunately for Fritz, Splash, Sean, and Noodle always find ways to foil his bigger, grander, take-over-the-island-esque schemes regardless!
Brainy Noodle is the daughter of a family of scientists living in Pooltopia's Xenon District, located in outer space. She is often regarded as one of the smartest pooltoys on the island, and she'll go out of her way to prove it! Noodle loves to mess around science experiments and various old devices she finds in the Radon District's many scrapyards. This also earns her a slight reputation as being a "mad scientist", which she finds funny to lean into. Given this, Splash and even Sean were scared of her when they first met, but they soon learned her story and accepted her into their friend circle! When she's not tirelessly busy at school and ranking as one of their top students, she's experimenting with some random junk, developing cool programs for her friends to check out, and gaming with said friends. She also enjoys Color Clash matches with Splash and Sean. Another one of her strong suits is inventing stuff, to help her family and friends improve the lives of Pooltopians all over the world! She likes to employ Splash and Sean as guinea pigs for her experiments and inventions, since most everyone else is too scared by her reputation to humor her. Another explanation for this is her invention tests often go awry and end in chaos and explosions (not to mention popping)... Nevertheless, she sees every failure as a stepping stone towards success like a proper scientist, even if her friends don't. Finally, her mother is a doctor in a local pooltoy hospital within the central Helium District, and her father is a world-famous chemist, uncovering the secrets of all the world's elements and their properties for the greater good of Pooltopia!
Nobody in Pooltopia is as consistently grumpy as Sean. Hailing from the toxic wastelands of the Radon District, this sourpuss skunk used to be in Fritz's posse, but left after Fritz started pulling increasingly dangerous pranks on innocent Pooltopians for fun. Now he resents his former partner in crime, and has found new friends in Splash and Noodle. He struggles to find much joy in life, since he believes being a skunk pooltoy makes him a real misfit in society. When he gets angry, he generates and builds up methane inside his body and starts automatically inflating into a huge, ticking stink bomb. Once he's big and mad enough, he unleashes his spray around him and deflates back to normal size, rendering those unfortunate enough to be in his blast radius fainted flat on the floor. He can't really help it when this happens, so Splash and Noodle are always there to help calm him down, as they can barely handle the stench themselves. Oftentimes this can be an arduous task, as Sean tends to get riled up by the smallest things, but his friends are willing to bear the burden...because it turns out his grumpiness may actually be more of a facade. He may not look it, but he secretly enjoys being around his friends, at least a lot more than he ever did around Fritz! He often tags along with Splash and Noodle during Color Clash matches, although he believes winning is more important than just having fun, which leads him to throw fits whenever he loses. Sean is pretty good at gaming and likes to frequent local arcades all over Pooltopia, though this makes him a real slacker at school as opposed to Splash. Nobody knows if he has any other hobbies, but whatever they may be, he ain’t tellin’. He’s got street cred to maintain.
Splash the otter Pooltopian is a very optimistic, happy-go-lucky guy, who often tries to make friends wherever he goes and hangs out with his main ones, Sean and Noodle. He loves said friends, his family, and his home island-city of Pooltopia very much! He makes it his mission in life to have as much fun with his friends as possible, and thus absolutely hates becoming bored by anything, including school and stuff. Even so, he always tries to find a way to enjoy himself during dull moments, even using his imagination to help him study and get good grades in class! He also frequently competes in the weekly Color Clash paintball tournaments with Sean and Noodle, possessing skills which earn him many trophies, almost halfway surpassing that of the sport's greatest champions. Even when he loses, he congratulates the winning team anyway, as long as the match was fun! He dislikes when Sean is being too much of a grump, and his rival Fritz the fox, said to be the son of Pooltopia's suspicious porcupine pooltoy mayor... Popping and body reforming may be normal for Pooltopians, but Splash doesn't like bursting apart without being given a really good reason. He doesn't mind overinflating though, and even enjoys it to an extent, seeing it as part of the fun of living in Pooltopia!
