PangYa/Characters and Caddies

There are seven characters in PangYa (eight in the Korean version) and nine caddies. Each character has different strengths and weaknesses making some characters better suited to players over others. Characters may be improved throughout the game by buying various items such as clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.

When a player registers and plays the game for the first time, they are assigned a Starter Character (Scout or Hana) based on the gender specified when registering. If you complete the entire tutorial you also receive the starter caddy, Papel. Through Pang or Cookies, you will be able to purchase additional characters and caddies (including the starter character which you did not receive).

Caddies
Caddies, on the other hand, are assigned specific attributes that will instantly improve the players abilities and occasionally give advice to the player about their shots. The longer the player plays with a caddy, the more experience a caddy will get. Each caddie has 4 levels. Caddies will perform more tricks and give more advice as their level increases.

All caddies are available in PangYa.

Papel, Pipin, Dolphini, Quma, Titan-Boo, Tiki, Brie and Lola are available in Albatross18

Papel
Gives +1 to control. Papel is a shopping bag created in the Albatross18 item store to carry all the goodies you may decide to buy. This little mystical being loves to be your companion and after a little time together, Papel will chase after your good shots just like a loyal retriever. As your caddie, Papel will give you better ball control and words of encouragement to help you stay ahead of the competition! The Albatross18 item store is where the Titang and Duostar sell their goods. The Titang design and manufacture all of the club equipment, while Duostar creates all of the potions and game items that you can buy.

Pipin
Gives +2 to power. Pipin is a Cross Chronos fairy who invited Scout to play Albatross18 in the realms of Pangya. Cross Chronos fairies can travel between time and space, and originally, it was a Cross Chronos fairy that brought the warrior hero who saved the island of Pangya from the Demon King. So the story of the Cross Chronos Clan has been intertwined with the history of Albatross18 and the realms of Pangya from the very beginning. Working as a partner, Pipin will give you a lot of help on your journey. She is a good soul who aims to please and will do all she can to make you a better player.

Dolfini
Gives +2 to spin. Dolfini is always out practicing her flying. She uses her little parasol as a temporary aid, waiting for the day that she will be able to take to the skies on her own. When Dolfini was very young, she saw a rocket ship blast through the sky above her head and was told that the rocket was her mother. Ever since then, Dolfini has been practicing to fly so that she can join her long lost mother in the skies. No one has had the heart to tell the little girl from the seas of Pangya that her kind are not able to fly. But Dolfini is just such a sweetheart and so loveable, that being with her will simply melt your worries away.

Titan-Boo
Gives +2 to power and control. TitanBoo is a friendly forest giant who has the magical ability to talk to trees. He is from the industrial area of Ventus, where his clan (the Titans) makes all the Wingtross items and clubs. Ventus is where Sepia Wind and Windhill are located on the island of Pangya. TitanBoo can draw the powers from the forest around him and grant some of their abilities to those he caddies for. This power makes TitanBoo a great asset to have on your side.

Quma
Gives +2 to curve. Quma is an impulsive young man who believes actions speak louder than words. Sometimes, though, he tends to act before he thinks -- which is how he ended up in the world of Albatross18. Pipin invited him, and Quma jumped in without ever looking back. Like his pet, Dolfini, Quma is loyal, trustworthy and the perfect companion as you make your way through the realms of Pangya.

Tiki
Gives +2 to accuracy. Tiki is full of mistakes. She is still just a little witch. Her dream is to grow up to become a real witch and protect the forests of PangYa. As usual, Tiki is spending the day practicing flying using the broomstick handed down by her older sister, Brie. She can barely even fly on her broomstick which is a very basic magic skill. Even though she still falls down and often runs into things, she never gives up and never quits, she just keeps getting back on her broomstick. This alone should be enough encouragement to make you a better player. She is a beginner witch right now, but she dreams of using magic freely just like her older sister Brie. Although Tiki is a bit on the clumsy side, she is a young and determined witch who will work as hard as she possibly can to aid you in your quest to master the game of Albatross18.

Lola
Gives +1 to spin and curve. Lola is always ready to help you out. Even if you make a mistake, don't worry. Lola will cheer you on with her bright smile. She is the daughter of Libera's village leader, but she doesn't look anything like those princesses in the fairy tales. She doesn't need any fancy clothing or special treatment. If you befriend Lola, she will help you in anyway that she can.

Brie
Gives +2 to control and accuracy. Tiki's sister, Brie, is an experienced magic user. With a lot of experience under her belt, she gave her broomstick to Tiki and now uses magic alone to float around. Long ago, she was one of the magicians who made the mystical ball Aztec to fight evil. After that event she became more composed. She started thinking about others rather than just herself. Her personality remains the same though. She does whatever she wants to do. It seems like she is happy that she met you. Brie is flying around spreading joy. Brie can use black magic, white magic, and other magic. When you are tired, Brie's magic will give you renewed strength. She will be the best partner in your travels of PangYa.

Minty
Gives +2 to power and accuracy (Thai Version: Gives +2 to control and spin). Minty is sweet and cute caddie as much as Tiki, her twin. Even though she and Tiki look so identical, Minty isn't clumsy like her twin. From her long practice in "White Wiz", she had finally become a trained witch just as good as her older sister, Brie. And with her full experience, she could become one of the caddies in PangYa very easily. With her magic, Minty can make the hard and difficult things easier for you!
