**Current Roleplay Status:** alive, Survivor

## Appearance

Chip is a very small pop with a dark blue head and light blue stick. His head looks like it's been chipped, hence his name given to him by Mango. He wears a blue and pink scarf that his sister gave to him before he left to go to Strandisle, and his right eye has been permanently damaged.

## Personality

Chip is like the little brother everybody wants and also doesn't want. Really depends who you are. He's super nice, caring and friendly and loves to meet new people and friends. He's an extrovert, but can become introverted if he becomes overwhelmed or scared in any way. He's way too gullible and will fall for almost anything, even if it's something really bad. His friends and family mean the world to him, and if anything happened to them, the culprit would get a nice hit in the face. He gets uncomfortable if someone mentions that his voice sounds feminine, or if he seems feminine, but he doesn't mind if you talk about his past and address his past self as 'Comel', which is his dead name.

## Backstory

Note: this is not exactly his real backstory. It sounds almost the same as the original, but I altered it a bit so it made sense with the au :)

**Childhood**

███ was adopted as a baby by 'her' adoptive mother after being abandoned from 'her' previous family. 'She' bonded really well with all of 'her' siblings, but felt really connected to one of them, Mango, the most. ███ was starting to realise something didn't feel right. 'She' never really felt comfortable as a girl. One day, ███ went up to Mango and opened up about everything related about 'her' dysphoria. Mango, being all supportive, helped 'her' discover 'herself' and understand why 'she' felt this way.

At a day at the beach, ███ was running around until 'she' accidentally tripped on a stone and hit 'her' head. A huge crack formed and it took away a lot of 'her' head. 'She' was sent to hospital, and after leaving, came out with a huge hole-looking thing on the side of 'her' head, which made Mango give 'her' the nickname "Chip." Not long afterward, ███, now known as Chip, came out to his family as transgender with Mango by his side.

**Hearing about Strandisle**

Years have gone by; Chips's family are living peacefully in an area guarded from the Dark Forces, completely untouched and unable to be touched... until, after a violent attack on the barrier, the Dark Forces were able to get through the protection, and thus, the family had to make an escape before someone got hurt. During their escape, they discovered a place... an island which was promised to be safe from the Dark Forces... but only 3 people could go. Chip and Mango, refusing to be separated, stayed together. Three of their other siblings refused to split from each other too, and their mother decided to stay with the most unsafe group. After a heartfelt goodbye, Chip and Mango set off to Strandisle, completely unsuspecting of what could happen to them...

## The Roleplay

Chip arrived with Mango feeling all seasick from the travels. They both got out of the boat (after tripping lol) and meeting Vanilla, Chili and Bvp. Chip separated himself from Mango for a bit and ended up meeting Monarch.

Throughout the majority of the start of the roleplay, Mango, along with Chip, take their time to go place to place around the island and create a map in their minds of where everything is.
