Poppins/World of Eve

About
Poppins of the World of Eve are one of the early creations of Mother Eve, alongside the Kalars and Dragons. They are short, slight demihumans, about the size of a human child. Poppins are gifted with a natural inclination towards mechanics and construction. They often create machina, extremely complex mechanical devices that can be used in their defence, though they are known to allow their projects to roam the land and sea autonomously. Poppins also have a supernatural resistance to extreme environments, able to survive the temperatures of magma, to breathe underwater, and more. Despite these resistances, they are not strong in combat, and rely on machina to keep enemies at a distance.

Poppins have also been given a powerful sex drive, which combines with their supernatural endurance to create a species of sexual savants. Unfortunately, this also makes them easily distracted, unable to focus on non-sexual matters, and while they would be slow to admit it, their greatest breakthroughs in machina are in the field of sexual toys. Unfortunately for the Poppins, their child-like bodies tend to repulse potential sexual partners from other species.

A small number of half-poppin, half-humans exist. These hybrid children have all of the supernatural powers and sexual drives of full poppins, but at lesser extremes. They stand slightly taller and have slightly larger builds, but remain smaller than the average human being.

History
Little is known of poppin history prior to the modern age. Poppins live primarily in the town of Poppins on the island of the same name, in the Kingdom of Humpty. The poppins provided their services to the Kingdom of Humpty on numerous occasions. They also provided work to the Central Empire during the Arthur Tragedy, creating the Battleship Digamma. Taking the construction of the ship as a work of treason, Queenbelle of Humpty condemned the poppins, who remain pariahs within the kingdom to this day.
