PUFFLY
The Gigfather
"Founder of GritFly. Posterbird of the Hustle Hoax."
Don’t let the hoodie and head nod fool you—Puffly is no scrappy underdog. He won the lottery, used the winnings to found GritFly (the #1 gig-work app in the Duckiverse), and now lectures everyone on "pulling themselves up by their webstraps." He promises freedom while profiting from burnout, chirping from his branded podcast studio about "mindset" and "hustle," ignoring the fact he never hustled a day in his life. Puffly sells dreams—but only if you can afford the subscription.
Catchphrases:
-
“You get what you grind for!”
-
“I started with nothing—except a little luck and a million dollars.”
-
“If you’re tired, you’re doing it right.”
-
“Flexibility is freedom. Unpaid hours are a bonus!”

Distortion: The Distortion of "Gig Work"
Origin Story (Bio):
Once a tired gig courier dodging predators for tips, Puffly bought a scratcher on a whim and won big. Instead of flying away, he built an empire off the very system that once nearly broke him. “It taught me resilience,” he chirps, conveniently forgetting the part where luck handed him the exit key. Now he runs GritFly—an app that offers zero benefits, vague promises, and plenty of branded beanies.

He’s never actually used his own app. Not once. But he did invest in a new one that charges birds to track their own productivity.

Favorites:
Residence:
The NestEgg — a minimalist, glass-and-steel micro-mansion built atop a cliff overlooking the sea. He proudly claims it's “off-grid” while quietly piping in resources from a dozen outsourced animal contractors. Inside: mood lighting, framed motivational posters (“Be Your Own Boss!”), and a jacuzzi shaped like his logo.
Transportation:
The GigaGlide 5000 — a silent, one-duck personal hoverpod powered by ethically sourced buzzwords. It requires constant recharging from unpaid interns on exercise bikes. Puffly insists it’s eco-conscious because it technically doesn't touch the ground.
