PHB Special: Poptropica Alignment Charts

Wazzup Poptropicanos, itโ€™s LJ here, and just as the title suggests, I’ve got a few pretty neat Poptropica alignment charts to share with youโ€”made by yours truly! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ This will be a series divided into three parts, taking place over the next several days. Today, we’ll be looking at a classic alignment chart. Enjoy!

The classic alignment chart template is a straightforward 3×3 grid that evaluates the morality of characters from TV shows, video games, and various pop culture sources. It combines good, neutral, and evil with lawful, neutral, and chaotic along several axes to form distinct categories. If youโ€™re a bit confused, donโ€™t worryโ€”youโ€™ll likely catch on quickly after taking a look at the one I made below.๐Ÿ™‚ Et voila!

๐Ÿ˜‡ Good: Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic ๐Ÿ˜‡

In the Lawful Good (top left) section, I placed myself (and all of you!). This alignment refers to those who prioritize goodness and respect for laws, and I think our character fits the bill perfectly.

In the Neutral Good and Chaotic Good categories (top center & top right), we find Jonas and Mya Wong. Neutral Good individuals are those who aim to do the right thing, even if it means occasionally stretching the rules a little bit. Meanwhile, Chaotic Good folks are those who are willing to challenge authority and even break rules for the sake of positive change.

I see these two kids as potentially interchangeable based on how you look at things. Ultimately, I chose Jonas for Neutral Good because, as the leader of the Protectors, he seems to stick to a set of rules more than Mya. To me, Mya seemed eager to help anybody and everybody, no matter the consequences, which is why I placed her in the Chaotic column. That said, they both have their moments that show they can be flexible in this area.

๐Ÿ˜ Neutral: Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic ๐Ÿ˜

Now, letโ€™s talk about the row of characters who aren’t committed to heroism or villainyโ€”the Neutral (middle) row. Kicking things off with Lawful Neutral, this type describes those who maintain order and law without a heavy moral stance. The Minotaur is a great example of this. Heโ€™s not purely evil or good; he assists us by giving us the ring we need, but only after we conquer his labyrinth and solve the snake puzzle.

In the very center, at the True Neutral (center) spot, is DJ Saturday Nite. People who embody true neutrality donโ€™t lean heavily towards good or evil, law or chaos, and often seem indifferent during conflicts between good and evil. Not caring would be an example. DJ Saturday Nite was absolutely the most chill citizen in Eastman, even with a full-blown zombie apocalypse happening around her.

Chaotic Neutrals are often characterized as wild spirits who resist authority and act on their own impulses. Salerno is incredibly determined and fixated on uncovering evidence of alien life, teetering on the edge of insanityโ€”which is why sheโ€™s been placed here.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ Evil: Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Finally, letโ€™s discuss the evil (bottom) row. Starting in the left column, we have Black Widow as Lawful Evil. Lawful Evil is characterized by valuing order and structure but using those beliefs for selfish gain. Black Widowโ€™s tactic of posing as a chief inspector to steal art and pin the blame on someone else makes her a great example of that in my opinion.

Next is Neutral Evil (center bottom), which I found a little tricky to nail down. From what I understand, itโ€™s all about being malicious and greedy without any particular social alignment. Itโ€™s driven solely by self-interest, with no care for law or chaos. With this in mind, I went with Myron Van Buren who is both ruthless and calculated in his hunting obsession.

A chaotic evil (bottom right) individual is self-centered and disregards all rules, frequently exhibiting harmful and destructive behavior. Doesn’t this description perfectly fit the tyrannical and dictatorial Zeus? To be honest, I can’t think of a more fitting example. He attempted to conquer and dominate all of Poptropica not once, but TWICE, obliterating every island in the process.


Welp, there it isโ€”part 1 of 3! I had a great time analyzing some Poptropica characters and figuring out their placements on this alignment chart. I must say though, I think I had even more fun with the next chart, so stay tuned for that. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I hope you enjoyed the post! Thank you all for reading, and I’ll talk you guys soon. Pop on!

(P.S. You might be inspired to create your own, so I leave you the template.๐Ÿ€)

Wazzup, Poptropicanos! ๐ŸคŸ It’s Pride Month: that special time of year when we shine a light on the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community while also honoring the significant contributions they’ve made throughout history. โœจ Let’s joyfully celebrate the acceptance and pride of the LGBTQ+ community and how far it’s come. ๐ŸŒˆ

Like the real world, our online Poptropica community is home to a diverse array of awesome LGBTQ+ people who have greatly heightened the fandom with their contributions. What better way to celebrate this amazingness than by throwing a party in the Party Time Tower on Time Tangled Island? We’re proud to invite you to join us there!

  • ๐Ÿฅณ WHO: Only the coolest people are on the guest list, and that includes all of you, LGBTQ+ and allies alike. Some of the PHB staff will be hanging out too!
  • ๐Ÿ‘‘ WHAT: Common room parties on Poptropica and chatting it up, creating art, and more all on our Discord chat server, the PHC. Don your most funky and dazzling rainbow outfits to increase your chances of being featured in our recap!

For those who are unfamiliar, LGBTQ+ is a term that encompasses individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. Learn more about LGBTQ+ identities in our post that explores this topic with some very cool Poptropica fan art! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Sadly, members of the LGBTQ+ community often face a lack of respect regarding their sexual orientation or gender expression. However, that will never be acceptable in the Poptropica community! Keep your spirits high during these particularly challenging times, friends. ๐Ÿซถ

๐ŸŽ‰ See you there, Pride-tropicans! ๐ŸŽ‰

Bringing Back the Magic of Poptropica ๐Ÿ”ฎ Fansite Spotlight: Pop Fan Kids

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Enchanted caverns (Twisted Thicket Island)

These things and more still live on through fans like you and I who are determined to build a new Poptropica and to live a new adventure. However, many of these things are hard to find, and theyโ€™re even harder to gather. I’ve always dreamt of a magical refuge to put all of these enchanted fragments together, just like putting together all the pieces of the Twisted Thicket orb together in the heart of the magical forest.

So, I made like an adventurer and island-hopped to many websites (including this one), searching for Poptropicaโ€™s legacy and its pretty wallpaper gifts. I gathered up all the fun Poptropica stuff I could find to bring it all together into a new magical orb for all Poptropicans, young and old, to explore and discover.

By planting that orb into my dormant Pop Fan Kids website, it’s bloomed like never before, and it’s now flourishing into an enchanted forest of its very own! 

A forest never stops growing, though, so if you know any games, activities, or other fun stuff that I missed in Pop Fan Kids, donโ€™t be afraid to let me know!  Simply write your ideas down in the comments section below so I can work my Elf Queen magic. Good luck, noble adventurers!


Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy another post of hers: a Popspiracy on the Mystery of the Mini Blimps!

The Poptropica Help Blog welcomes interesting Poptropica insights from anyone in the Poptropica community with thoughts to share. Interested in writing for the PHB? Weโ€™d love to hear from you!

The Poptropica Kahoot Challenge Recap!

Howdy, Poptropicanos! ๐ŸคŸLast month, over on the PHC, we had our much-anticipated Kahoot game, and it was such a fun time! We had a packed house with 10 players (maximum without Kahoot!+ โ˜น๏ธ) playing the game. A big thank you to everyone for joining and helping make this a success. You guys were awesome!

I thought I’d have to awkwardly fill the silence in the voice chat, but it turned out that wasn’t the case whatsoever. Everyone was full of energy and enthusiasm as they attempted to guess the answers to the 21 questions in the game. How many do you think you can get right?

Sleepy Biker rose to the top by answering 15 questions correctly, earning first place! Just behind were Lazy Kid and Cherry, who each answered 14 questions correctly, finishing in 2nd and 3rd places. Shoutout to runners-up, Magic Poptropican & Bony Bones, as well!

While I was chatting with Sleepy Biker, she remembered that I had drawn her Poptropican not too long ago. As a result, she generously offered her Poptropica Portrait prize to the second-place winner! Here you go, Lazy Kid. I hope you like it. Your character is awesome!

I had a blast putting this together! Iโ€™m sorry if some of the questions were a little too tough but just know that youโ€™re all true fans in my eyes! (I know some of you joked about feeling like fake fans. ๐Ÿคฃ) I canโ€™t wait for our next game night, whether we play Jeopardy, Family Feud, Gartic Phone or something else.

Get Ready for the Poptropica Kahoot Challenge! ๐Ÿค“

Wazzup Poptropicanos, it’s LJ here! ๐ŸคŸWho’s ready to play Kahoot? Mark your calendars. Iโ€™m hosting a Poptropica Kahoot Challenge on Sunday, April 13 @2:30pm PST, on the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC), and youโ€™re all invited to participate! (must be 13 or older)

If you’re not aware of Kahoot, it’s a multiplayer quiz game where players can join by entering a pin on a mobile app (on Android and iOS) or via the website and compete in friendly competition.

Your device acts as a remote control to answer questions displayed on the host’s screen (mine). When the game starts, everyone has to answer the questions before the 20-second timer runs out. Also, the faster you answer, the more points you’ll earn if you’re correct. The player with the most points at the end wins! (see prize at the bottom of the post) ๐Ÿฅ‡

Hereโ€™s how itโ€™s going to go down: To get in on the game, youโ€™ll need to join the Poptropica voice channel on our Discord server. You’ll find it on the bottom left corner of your screen. If youโ€™d rather not share your voice, just click the microphone icon to mute yourself. I know many of you are familiar with how Discord works, but this is for anyone who might be new or not quite in the loop.

For an optimal experience, you’ll need two devicesโ€”one for viewing my shared screen and another for answering the questions. You can try your luck at one device, but personally I find it more difficult to keep up with that way.

You can expect 20 questions that vary from super simple to those that require a bit more thought, so be prepared for anything!

This is a tough one guys…

Other than bragging rights, the player with the top score will receive a portrait of their Poptropican created by me if they would like it! ๐Ÿ˜ Check out some of my artwork to see what you can look forward to. You’ll be able to choose between a more realistic style or a style akin to the OG Poptropica look.

I know some of you are longing for the next Tribal Tournament, so I figured itโ€™d be a blast to play a competitive game together to help make that wait easier. Come join your fellow Poptropicans for a fun time and put your knowledge to the test! Remember, Sunday @2:30pm PST. (Use a time converter to find out what time it’ll be for you.) Hope you can make it! ๐Ÿ€
