Perfpals Basic Lore
Introduction
Welcome to the wondrous world of magical plush friends! On Cuddleluna, there exists a sentient plush-species named Perfpals. These creatures are highly intelligent and operate almost just like the human world you live in. What makes them different? What makes them similar to me and you?
What makes up a perfpal?
Perfpals are magical beings sewn together with magical thread. Each perfpal has their own patch and scent tag. Without those two things, they cannot be considered a Perfpal. A perfpal’s patch is its lifesource. Magic supplied by the patch flows through the entire body giving the perfpal life. If one were to remove said patch, the perfpal would pass away. The scent-tag attached to the perfpal’s ear keeps the magic in control. If a perfpal’s scent-tag is ripped off, the magic overloads the body turning the perfpal into a wereperf. Perfpals have a leporidae head, odocoileus legs, and intelligence that sometimes surpasses that of a human-being. Their stuffing can change depending on what thread they were sewn together with. If a perfpal does not have a specific thread sewn into them, they are filled with polyester, beads, cotton, or foam. Their hooves are an exception to this, as they have a flat plastic on the bottom giving them the weight to not be blown-away in the wind. The entire perfpal is scented, and you can usually get a good-hint as to what that scent is by looking at their scent-tag. Perfpals can be scented absolutely anything.
Where do perfpals come from? Where do they go?
When a perfpal loves another perfpal, or many perfpals very much, they can pray to Mother to be blessed with a child perfpal of their own. Who is Mother? Mother is the creator of all perfpals. Perfpals are unable to directly interact with her but she can hear their voices through prayers. There is no explicit design for mother as perfpals don’t know what she looks like. Accounts tell us that she is an old woman who loves her creations very much. Whenever a perfpal passes away, mother lifts them out of the world into a happy paradise.
What do we, the people know, that the perfpals don’t?
Perfpals exist within a table in Mother’s cottage. The cottage is not only the place where Mother lives, but also a plush-store. So, whenever a perfpal has decided that they would like to pass on to the next world, she puts them up for sale in her store. The perfpal will then lose their sentience, and go on as a happy plush to whoever purchases them. What mother really looks like is completely up to your own personal interpretation. The Perfpals creators want you to imagine your own version of a sweet old grandma.
How did the first Perfpals get on Cuddleluna?
A very long time ago, mother first created the perfpal world, Gleamshire. There were 5 original perfpals: Amenhotep, Meiying, Ryuko, Zarvex, and Florian. These perfpals went on to shape the world into what we see today, but unfortunately they all failed at their tasks. They were given ancient perfpals to guide and rule, but they fell to their own weaknesses. While the other four were at war, Florian hid himself and his people. Devastated that her own personal perfpals were turning against each other, Mother removed them and ancient perfpals from the world. Her own OCs, the original 5, were shelved in her room. Ancient perfpals were sold, and mother was ready to give up. But, she couldn’t tear this world away from Florian, the first OC she ever created. She set off to work creating the perfpals we know and love today. She renamed the world Cuddleluna, and placed Florian back inside. She also placed Meiying’s holy army into the world to keep everyone in check. Perfpals don’t know much about their ancestors, nor do they know too much about the original 5, but they do know the dangers of falling down the same path they did.
What does a day in the life of a perfpal look like?
Perfpals do not need to go to work, but some choose to. Every little perfpal has to go to school before they’re an adult, but what they choose to do after that is completely up to them! Perfpals don’t work for their necessities because there are no necessities! Perfpals don’t need to eat, sleep, or drink. Perfpals just enjoy doing those things, so some of them save up money for those things. Depending on where they live in the perfpal world, their living situation could totally change. Most of the time, perfpals just live for comfort and spend most of their days just doing what they enjoy most! Magic is infused into their everyday world which means their environment is highly influenced by it. While a regular perfpal cannot control magic whatsoever (refer to psychic perfpals for the exception) they interact with it all of the time.
What about perfpal love?
Perfpals form lifelong relationships with other Perfpals. While it is not uncommon for a perfpal to remain single, it’s also common for perfpals to have multiple partners! These relationships can be platonic or romantic. Ancient perfpals often had big multi-person relationships to keep each other safe. In this new era, perfpals connect on deep emotional levels with one another. When two or more perfpals are in love, they can even ask Mother to grant them a baby perfpal! This baby will appear in the cradle the two perfpals made for them it is truly meant to be. Just like the real world, in Cuddleluna perfpals get engaged and then married.
What are threads? What do they do?
“Perfpals are sewn together with magical thread.” Well that is that magical thread? The threads you can check out on our threads page allow perfpals to have unique traits. Perfpals are usually born with these threads and they often influence the perfpal’s personality. Perfpals can also purchase threads at a high price and have them surgically sewn into them. In the lore, perfpals are only born with the original threads, but it's important to note that you can change their design to include them whenever. In very rare cases, if a perfpal is left stranded with no way to fix themselves- Mother will sew a new thread into them saving their life. Once the thread is sewn into the body, the perfpal’s traits morph instantly. Not every perfpal obtains every trait from whatever threads they have. If a perfpal was to lose their thread, they would feel a loss of identity. Every thread has its own lore, so we implore you to read the stories of the threads you add to your perfpal!
Then what are ribbons?
Ribbons are also a great way to accessorize your perfpal. They were created by an ancient perfpal named Florian. He is the last ancient perfpal on Cuddleluna and has dedicated his life to trying to create his own thread. They are more limited in their traits, and have no bearing on a perfpal’s personality. Perfpals are not born with ribbons, and they are not surgically sewn into the perfpals body. The ribbon will be magically interwoven into the fabric of the perfpal. Since ribbons have far less magical power than threads, it is painless to remove them. Perfpals simply pull at their fabric with the same intent to remove them as they did to add them.
What is Cuddleluna like?
Please refer to our toyhouse to see specific information on the different places in the perfpal world. While perfpals are technologically advanced, they prefer to live much simpler lives. Architecture and nature live together in harmony and work together to provide places to live for perfpals. There is rich lore of ancient perfpals that still stands to modern times through statues and relics. Curious magical creatures roam the land and are either friend or foe to perfpals. As long as the perfpals love themselves, each other, and the world, the world remains peaceful. If perfpals attempt to start war amongst themselves like they did in the ancient times, the world will destroy itself. Perfpals live how they think would make Cuddleluna happy. Wonder and possibility is everywhere if a perfpal is welcome to find it. The limits of magic, adventure, and love know no bounds, and neither does Cuddleluna. It is truly a world where anything is possible.
