Crazy Dave/History

David Zoet Blazing was born on Earth, in Neighborville, California. He had a stable family, with a loving mother and father.

During his early childhood, other children found David to be strange and unapproachable. He briefly met Matilda Lowen during this time, and they became friends before she moved away. He also met Edgar Zomboss around this time, who was the closest thing he had to a friend, despite the fact that Zomboss had dubbed him his 'nemesis.'

In high school, Dave managed to beat Zomboss in the annual science fair, an event Zomboss would never forget. Dave would also never forget that day, but for different reasons - his father died in a car crash shortly after the fair. This affected him greatly, as he and his father were very close.

Eventually, David moved on to college. He was accepted into Neighborville University (which, despite appearing to be a local town college, was actually a pretty prestigious place.) He majored in Botany and was coincidentally assigned the same dorm as Edgar Zomboss (who was now much more insistent on the whole 'rivalry' thing.)

Halfway through the first year, Dave was caught and tried for stealing from a garden center, allowing the Neighborville Police Department (run by corrupt, nasty people at the time) to have him in their palm. He was put under house arrest, allowing him to thankfully continue his studies.

Under the guise of 'drug testing,' the Police Department forced the man into a state of addiction to... well, drugs. They busted him multiple times for having them, repeating the cruel cycle of house arrests and drug testing. It's because of this that Dave gained an irrational fear of medication and severe mental trauma, and began keeping copious amounts of plants in his dorm (much to Edgar’s dismay.)

Despite his struggles, he managed to graduate with a degree in Botany. But again, this happy moment was cut off by the death of a loved one - this time, his mother, to cancer.

Years later, Patrice Blazing, his niece whom he often babysat, began living with him, and he finally kicked the remainders of his addictions. Shortly thereafter he perfected plantlife, the project that won him the science fair all those years ago.

This proved to be useful, as Edgar Zomboss (now with the title 'Dr. Zomboss') soon kickstarted the zombie apocalypse, making Dave and the plants one of the only lines of defense.

Shortly before the events of 'Welcome to Poptopia,' Dave took a cruise vacation, organized by Captain Chestbeard. Unfortunately, the ship was crashed due to interference by Dr. Zomboss, and Dave nearly drowned. This was his first encounter with Poptopia, as Earth's ocean has a cave portal that leads to the planet. There, Meryl the mermaid saved him, pulling him back to Earth's shore. Though he had no memory of the encounter, Dave was left with a shell to remember it by.

During 'Welcome to Poptopia,' he had a dream encounter with Princess Maria Dianne Spectrum, who told him her world was in danger and that she had chosen him and six others to save it. Unable to let the dream go, he created a portal machine to PopTopia and joined up with the rest of the Lucky 7 to save it.
