Popp is a young man with light skin of average height and build. His black hair is worn in a messy pompadour-like hairstyle with a yellow bandana tied around his forehead.

The surcoat is embroidered with the symbol of Avan in the front.
 
After the battle with [[Crocodine]] at the kingdom of Romos, he is rewarded with a set of [[wayfarer's clothes]] more befitting of his bravery and deeds. This outfit is still quite similar to his original one but with a darker green jumpsuit, a black and white [[Wikipedia:Surcoat|surcoat]] with a white insignia over it, a white belt, along with gloves and boots in a lighter shade of green. After becoming [[Matoriv]]'s student, the young mage is gifted with the [[Shining staff]], a long yellow mage's cloak worn around his neck, and a bizarre belt featuring a design of Matoriv's face on the buckle.
 
Popp's fourth outfit is a [[magic vestment]] given to him by [[Princess Leona|Leona]] upon arriving to the kingdom of Carl. It is lightweight green cloth armour with yellow and red sections throughout, a long red cape, shoulder pads, gloves, and a gold medallion on his chest with the same insignia seen on his wayfarer's clothes. The vestment is made of sturdy cloth with excellent heat resistance, allowing Popp to cast Medroa without burning his right hand. However, this outfit is irreparably damaged during the first battle with Dark King Vearn, who burns it easily with his powerful fire magic.


He is arrogant and cowardly, having a tendency to get carried away when the going gets tough, but he is compassionate and cares about his friends. Popp highly regards his master Avan.

His wand, the Magical Booster, was a gift given to him by his master Avan.

* '''[[Donk]]''': A high-powered gravity spell that crushes enemies with intense pressure. It takes a lot of MP to cast, leaving Popp drained afterwards.
* '''[[Frizz Cracker|Medroa]]''': An extremely powerful spell developed by Matoriv that combines the positive heat energy of a [[Frizz]] spell and the negative heat energy of a [[Crack]] spell. It requires intense concentration and focus from the Mage.
* '''[[Five Finger Flares]]''': Popp attempts to replicate this technique from [[Flazzard]] in desperation during the battle against [[Zamza]]. However, since he did not have a lot of magic power remaining, he was only able to send out three Kafrizz spells from his fingers. Matoriv discourages him from using the technique in the future as it could shorten Popp's lifespan.

Appearance and Personality

Popp is a young man with light skin of average height and build. His black hair is worn in a messy pompadour-like hairstyle with a yellow bandana tied around his forehead, which he always wears even when changing clothes. Popp's original outfit when he met Dai on Dermline Island consists of a green jumpsuit with a black surcoat worn over it, as well as darker green gloves and boots with white lining. The surcoat is embroidered with the symbol of Avan in the front.

After the battle with Crocodine at the kingdom of Romos, he is rewarded with a set of wayfarer's clothes more befitting of his bravery and deeds. This outfit is still quite similar to his original one but with a darker green jumpsuit, a black and white surcoat with a white insignia over it, a white belt, along with gloves and boots in a lighter shade of green. After becoming Matoriv's student, the young mage is gifted with the Shining staff, a long yellow mage's cloak worn around his neck, and a bizarre belt featuring a design of Matoriv's face on the buckle.

Popp's fourth outfit is a magic vestment given to him by Leona upon arriving to the kingdom of Carl. It is lightweight green cloth armour with yellow and red sections throughout, a long red cape, shoulder pads, gloves, and a gold medallion on his chest with the same insignia seen on his wayfarer's clothes. The vestment is made of sturdy cloth with excellent heat resistance, allowing Popp to cast Medroa without burning his right hand. However, this outfit is irreparably damaged during the first battle with Dark King Vearn, who burns it easily with his powerful fire magic.

He is arrogant and cowardly, having a tendency to get carried away when the going gets tough, but he is compassionate and cares about his friends. Popp highly regards his master Avan and often thinks about what he would do in dire situations. His courage is tested many times throughout the story, but he never wavers in his loyalty to Dai.

He decided to run away from home when he became awestruck by Avan's power and decided to become his apprentice, being disowned by his family in the process.

Abilities

Popp is a Mage, specialising in casting different offensive spells such as Frizz and has even mastered more advanced spells such as Kafrizz and Crackle.
