ALRIGHT I finally got done with those Pac-Man Gijinkas
Except they’re less gijinkas and more like... pseudo-OCs??? I went too hard in the fucking paint with this one lmfao
I’ll be talking about them in this thread

OKAY so the story takes place in Pac-Land because ofc it does
Pac-Land is this wacky giant island in the middle of the ocean where all kind of strange and fun things happen
On this island exists many kinds of fantastical creatures, like ghosts and fairies and stuff

One type of creature that exists here is called a Pac-Person
They’re basically the same as humans, but their skin comes in all kinds of vibrant colors, and they have elongated noses, kind of like Pinocchio
Their general purpose (besides just existing and vibing)... (cont.)

Is to keep the peace of Pac-Land and stop any evildoers from usurping the balance
What’s more, there’s a family lineage of Pac-People who become the main protectors of Pac-Land, called the Pac-Man
This role is passed from parent to child upon death, so children of Pac-Men (cont.)

...must train to fulfill their eventual destiny.
The current Pac-Man is a mild mannered guy known as Paku Pakuma, a mild-mannered guy with a voracious appetite and a sense of justice
Nowadays, Paku works as mayor of Pac-Land, but back in the day, he was a tough fighter

Paku’s current outfit is a simple button up shirt with a black tie and black pants, but he still wears orange gloves and his (lucky!) red boots, like the original does

His powers are similar to the ones he has in the Smash Bros. series— Bonus Fruit, Power Pellets, etc.

Back in the day, Paku saved Pac-Land multiple times from various threats, but his most powerful opponent had to be the powerful and evil Ghost Lord, Spooky (yes, THAT Spooky), who along with his many lackeys, had terrorized Pac-Land before finally being destroyed by Paku for good

Alongside Paku fought a Pac-Person named Puka Pukami, who had fallen in love with and married him after they took down Spooky together, gaining her the nickname “Mrs. Pac-Man”
Nowadays, this stylish but sweet heroine pursues her dreams in showbiz as a top tier actress

Puka can be found in many outfits, but her favorite would have to be her beautiful red sleeveless dress, complete with dark red velvet heels, yellow ball earrings, and her signature red bow that she always wears on her head

(Also fun fact, Puka LOVES all kinds of coffee lmfao)

Puka has powers similar to that of Pac-Man’s moveset in the Pac-Man World series- she can Rev Roll, where she rolls in place before dashing forwards at high speeds, Butt Bounce, which is exactly what it sounds like, and also create miniature Power Pellets that explode!

Paku and Puka were together for many years, eventually having a son who would become the heir to the Pac-Man name
And THIS is where the protag of our story comes in!
Meet Paku Pakuma Jr. (or just Jr.), a fun-loving, mischievous Pac-Person with the same love for food as his dad

Jr.’s outfit is a white hoodie with a pattern on it, blue jeans, red converse shoes, the same orange gloves as his dad, and his lucky blue cap

His powers are both that of his mother and father, making him a versatile fighter with tons of potential

Jr. is much more interested in having fun than he is for training to become the next Pac-Man, but the encouragement from both of his loving parents (and them reminding him of his responsibilities) motivate him enough to give a damn... but only so much!

ANYWAYS let’s talk about the villains now
Unbeknownst to the Pac-Man family, and Pac-Land in general, there is a sinister figure lurking in the shadows
The Ghost Witch of Netor (YEAH that Ghost Witch from New Adventures on SNES) was an avid follower of Spooky, (cont.)

And upon learning of his destruction, became distraught and angry, immediately vowing to revive her master once again
She had then learned of the Ultimate Power Pellet located somewhere in the mayor’s building of Pac-Land (under tight security), capable of granting any one wish

In order claim this Ultimate Power Pellet for herself, she created many ghost lackeys in order to cause enough havoc and mayhem to leave the Pellet unguarded, then use it to revive Spooky!
Unfortunately for her, not all of the ghosts came out perfect, in fact only few of them did

There were four ghosts in particular who wouldn’t listen to anything she said, more interested in doing their own things
Frustrated, she threw these ghosts out, leaving them to fend for themselves in Pac-Land
At first, the ghosts didn’t really know what to do now, until... (cont)

...they had learned of Paku Jr., the next Pac-Man, and took an interest in him
And so the Ghost Gang was born! Four hooligan ghosts who went around causing mischief and being frienemies to Jr., much to the poor boy’s annoyance

(I’ll go over them all after I split the thread lol)

OKAY HERE WE GO let’s go over the Ghost Gang
First, of course, is Blinky, the brash and boisterous leader! With his red pompadour (which was hard to make in most of these creators -_-“), he’s Jr.’s (self-proclaimed) rival and has a mean competitive streak

Blinky’s outfit is the classic black leather jacket, white t-shirt, blue jeans combo, with snakeskin shoes and his super cool shades!
Blinky is capable of going fast enough to become like a comet, crashing into his targets with great force!

Next is Pinky, who is absolutely CRAZY for Jr., enough to be her (self-proclaimed) girlfriend!
She’s the friendliest of the ghosts (especially with her beloved), and the least likely to cause mischief. That being said, she’s a crazy elaborate schemer, and a good strategist

Pinky made her outfit to resemble Jr.’s, so she wears a pink hoodie and jeans, white shoes, orange gloves, and a light pink choker necklace
She’s able to quickly teleport to nearby locations, even multiple times in a row if she wants
(This helps her sneak kisses on Jr.’s cheeks)

Next is Inky, the creepiest and lankiest of the ghosts, and Jr.’s (self-proclaimed) nightmares given form!
Inky loves to be as unnerving and scary to others as possible, from jumpscares to creepy stares and everything in between
(He’s secretly a bit of a goof, BUT DON’T TELL HIM)

His only articles of clothing are a black long sleeve shirt, and black sweatpants— he wears no shoes
His main powers are his stretchy limbs— yeah, like Luffy LMFAO
But also like Necro from Street Fighter, in that he uses these powers to stretch in weird (and creepy) ways

Finally, we have Clyde, the stout and smart one of the group!
Unfortunately, Clyde is also a huge coward, ready to run at the first sign of trouble
He is Jr.’s (self-proclaimed) nemesis in wits, constantly thinking of ways to outsmart him (however most of his plans are kinda bad)

Clyde wears a navy blue suit with matching tie (as he says, “any intellect must be well dressed”), black dress shoes, and the classic anime swirly glasses
He’s the physically strongest of the ghost gang, which WOULD be a useful power, if he wasn’t such a scaredy-cat

And so, these four troublemakers make things difficult for our hero, who must also deal with the Ghost Witch and her own army of ghosts
Can Paku Jr. use the powers he’s inherited from his parents and fulfill his destiny as the next Pac-Man!?

Welp! There ya have it!
I made... another goddamn story
Lmfao I hope you guys at least enjoy it
It was honestly really fun to make
