"Aye, best that we keep to the dark alleyways and stay out of the streets when that potato lad stays around the town. Last night, I heard from the higher ups that he caught Trickster Tomato along with Jester Jalapeño while they were out dealing fairy dust to the locals; that tater hater didn't give either of em a chance to draw their weapons and cut both of em up pretty badly. Heard he came from some sort of ancient order that is over on the far North end of the farm where all them crazies live...
You know what they call themselves over there by chance, Turnip? (𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚) T-Turnip?"

During one of the brightest of summer days, he was carefully cultivated by the Ancient Farmer Father from the dankest soil that laid in the Farm of Eden. The young Spudling seemed to be under a deadly illness due to the dank soil's poor nutrient content and overwhelmingly amount of dankness, but the Ancient Farmer Father did not give up on the poor, young Spudling. The benevolent Ancient Farmer Father provided him proper nutrients, fresh spring water, and gentle dosages of warm sunlight. Although these remedies kept the Spudling healthy into his young, teenage years as a Spud, the Ancient Farmer Father was growing older and frail with every passing day; then came the grim, cloudy morning when he did not rise from his gigantic bed and remained forever in a deep slumber. The Spud, now alone once more, began to mourn on days end for the benevolent god that had not only saved him from peril as a Spudling, but also, provided him all the affection he lacked at the dankest corner in the Farm of Eden. There was no sunlight as angry, dark clouds populated the sky, the water springs wept until she grew barren of water, and the holy Farm of Eden slowly died away along with its master.
Staying in the dying Farm of Eden would only result in the spud's demise too, so he packed what he could and traveled far South, taking with him a mix of happy and painful memories. After days of long, tiresome travel, the Spud collapsed from exhaustion and hunger that had been slowly leeching away his strength. He was found by a group of zealous vegetables that were members of The Holius Sun Order (𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙪𝙣), being generous holy folk, they graciously picked the Spud up from the filthy ground and brought him to his new home. The Spud lived in an isolated church with the other Holius Sun Order members for many years, growing up into a mature, diligent Potato with a strongly serious personality and a incredibly strong faith for the great sun above. He longed to leave the church and spread the church's name across the land whilst smiting any evil that dare crawled out from the shadows into the sun's powerful light, so the vegetable priests held a gathering to initiate the Potato as a respectable paladin of the Holius Sun Order. The Potato was given the sharp Subway Toothpick blade, the strong Bepis Bottle Cap shield, and a set of card board armor that was poorly spray painted gold. With his new paladin gear in tow and a crispy pop tart in hand, the freshly initiated Paladin Potato began his new journey.
To this day, the Paladin Potato travels the vast world, slaying whatever vile evils dare bring forth chaos and mayhem to the innocent lives of vegetables and fruits alike. He saved the fruits of Walmarus from the magically powerful Warlock Watermelon, protected the vegetable tribes of Krogerus from the evil Necromancer Nugget, and even slayed the widely feared Abomination Apple, the consumer of doctors. The renowned paladin also made some trustworthy friends and loyal allies along his journey, fighting along his side as the grand party of fruits and vegetables battled off the world's fiercest evils. Knight Kiwi lent his unbreakable Bendy Straw lance for glory, Cleric Coconut rose his holy tome for the Ancient Farmer Father, Magician Mango gave his mischievously cunning tricks for wealth, and Oracle Orange provided prophesies of the near future with his magical vision. Together, they are a undefeatable force that will continue to battle away the world's most vile, twisted, and rotten evils, one serving at a time...
