Afro Guy

Afro Guy is a mysterious glitch Poptropican. He is also very famous in Poptropica.
 * He mostly appears in Common Rooms.
 * Many people have reported him in a game of Sky Dive.
 * If he blinks, his eyes do dummy eyes, then eyelashes, then 3 lines.(if you are looking for Afro Girl <-- go here)
 * He is reported to be found in Reality tv island.

Appearance
Afro Guy appears to be a Poptropican with black or white skin.He wears white singlet and has a black afro.His mouth smiling wide, lined white teeth(though occasionally varies).Sometimes he appears without any hair.

Theories

 * Golden Bug's Theory: Afro Guy is the default poptropican, if Poptropica doesn't know what a poptropican looks like or if they're not finished loading, they'll turn up as afro guy.
 * Bony Shadow's ( girl ) Theory: Afro Guy or Girl is might be the original form or shape of Poptropican,since no Poptropican would have skin that dark or white.So,most likely if an Poptropican is least active an never update their Poptropican's appearances, it will turn up to Afro Guy/Girl since their appearances is unknown.Or,it is Poptropican original sketches,and if Photos pr closet,or anything turn Afro Guy,that means it still your Poptropican,but in Original Sketches. (This is pretty much Golden Bug's Theory.)

Sightings
Bony Shadow's Sightings:


 * Whenever the loading takes too long when I wanted to costumized my outfits with my outfits in my pictures,i just pressed the pictures,even the pictures did not yet appear.Then suddenly Afro Guy appear,and whenever Afro Guy appear,i'm freaking out,screaming,and rush over to my little sister,asking for her help to get rid of Afro Guy.And since then,I always try to wait patiently whenever it's loading so Afro Guy / Girl won't appear.
 * This is most likely happen like a year ago, when I first knew Poptropica; My account suddenly change to an Afro Guy! I was panicking that time,thinking my account was hacked by someone else.I stopped playing Poptropica about like a week, but for some reason, I played Poptrpica agian.


 * I don't know if this is was an error or what,but I've ever seen the other characters turn into an Afro Guy.Now my phobia is Afro Guy.


 * Sometimes when I played 'Sky Dive' my Poptropican changed to an Afro Guy, even she's a girl,or my opponent is Afro Guy,or we both could be Afro Guy.


 * My pictures sometimes turn to an Afro Guy / Girl.


 * When I wanted to shop in 'Store', the model for the costumes suddenly turn to an Afro Guy / Girl.

P.S : Silly Skull's Sightings is VERY hilarious.I'm gonna try it.
 * When the loading has not yet finished, some characters turn to an Afro Guy for a moment.
 * In late May and early June,when i wanna costumized my friend,it sometimes turn to White Afro Guy.

=== Silly Skull's Sighting: ===
 * Afro guy... I've seen him many a time, and once even customized him and went into a common room... Every one wanted to play with me! It was neat.

Golden Bug's Sightings:

 * Sighting 1: I had a poptropica account, then I stopped playing poptropica for a year and forgot my username. I went back to playing Poptropica with a new account, but one day I remembered my old account's username and went on. Just for fun, I friended my old account. I signed out, beat Big Nate island (new account) then signed back in (old account.) In the "recent activity" section, there was a picture of my new account completing Big Nate Island, but it was glitchily flickering. For a split second, my new account was Afro Guy.
 * Sightings 2 and 3: I went to the "Friends" screen, then went back to the "Home" screen (old account). There was still the picture of my new account beating Big Nate Island, and it was still glitchy, but from the neck down, my new account was Afro Guy. (Going back to the "Friends" screen, then back to "Home", fixed this, but going to "Friends" then back to "Home" a third time made my new account Afro Guy from the neck down.)
 * Sightings 4 to a lot: Alternating between "Friends" and "Home" for a few times caused weird results, such as:
 * My new account being afro guy with white hair, girl eyelashes, and white skin, and holding a white rectangle. (Sounds like Brave Boot's sighting, and I called this "Afro Girl").
 * My new account being afro guy with yellow skin ("Afro Dude").
 * On the "Friends" screen, my old account being Afro Dude.
 * On the "Friends" screen, my new account being bald Afro Guy with normal skin.
 * Sighting 7: A few weeks later, my sister created an account. I added myself as her friend and helped her join the Pathfinders tribe (my tribe). After that, the "Photos" and "Closet" were afro guy. (See the picture)
 * Sighting 8: On Earth Day-Don't Be an Energy Hog, Afro Girl was on the TV for a split second. Chances are the stupid Energy Hogs were freaked out.Screen_Shot_2013-04-30_at_6.19.55_PM.png
