Lore Log #1 - The Beginning (Patreon)

In the beginning, there was mochi. The universe came next. This paradox caused the big pop, an explosion that resulted in the sugary starchy stretchy dessert being woven into the very fabric of the universe. All forms of matter are sugar based. This created entire galaxies made of different desserts. Comets containing chocolate, moons made of mochi and planets packed with parfaits. Just like with any universe, these heavenly bodies collided with each other for billions of years. These collisions created complex systems which in turn, created the first lifeforms. Single-celled organisms battled for survival at the microscopic level until multicellular life rose to power. Soon the first complex beings took their first steps on their respective planets. Out of the millions upon millions of species that inhabit the universe, the three most dominant species are the Mochibuns, the Bobabirds and the Chocodoggos. Each species has their own inherent strengths and weaknesses due to seeking survival in their harsh environments. Despite the vast diversity of species in the universe, one common thread connects them all. When new life is created in the universe, it has the form it will have for the rest of its life. It does not grow or change organically. It does not age or degrade over time. It steps out into the world in its fully formed adult body with basic information preloaded into its mind. How to hunt, how to find shelter, how to reproduce. As long as life does not encounter any disease or danger, it could live for as long as the universe exists. Even in the destruction of their bodies, there is a chance for the consciousness to persist and reform their bodies. Each species does this in their own unique way. The Mochibuns have cores that if left unharmed, will allow them to naturally remake their bodies over time. Bobabirds pull the remainder of their bodies together and use cell division to remake themselves. Chocodoggos use what remains of their melty bodies to break down the surrounding matter and rebuild their bodies. The modular nature of these lifeforms allows them to make changes to their bodies at will rather than have change naturally occur over time. In a universe full of functionally immortal beings, the battle for resources is an endless and brutal struggle filled with violent conflict but that’s a story for another log.
