Kicks’ surrogate guardian who raised her like his own. A kindly old man, living out his final days on a dying planet. He loves soda pop so much that it's where he got his nickname from. Sadly, all of the sodas on earth went flat years ago, and no more supply is coming any time soon. (All the major soda companies left for space, after all). He just yearns for a peaceful life where he can get yummy food delivered and eat with his family on Earth with the time they have left.

STORY SO FAR: Pops loves to order delivery (especially when Kicks is his delivery girl!) During their last lunch break/catchup chat, Pops was distraught to see Kicks lacking in direction and purpose in her life. If only there was some way to help her… Oh well, this sandwich isn’t going to eat itself!
