Generally, most information logged here is the bare necessities, and some of the only hard rules within Ponporri and its lore. While questions are welcomed and answered within the Discord, remember that the lore is meant to help guide and offer the first steps into character creation, not confine players into a strict style of play.

Pon [plural: Porri]
A typical everyday pon resembles a fluffy fox, usually with a long, soft tail and large ears. These inhabitants are considered the common citizens of the galaxy, with intelligence comparable to that of Earth's humans. However, not all porri look alike — some may have different tails, extra limbs, or unexplainable oddities. Since porri are born from dream energy, their appearances can vary greatly from the considered "norm", if there even is one. No matter how a pon looks, or how many other porri share their traits, every one of them is simply a pon.

Starseeds and Newborns:
All porri come into being in one of two ways: through a starseed, formed when a falling star is infused with passing dream energy, or as a newborn, created when the dream energy of porri mix together.

Starseeds may emit a soft glow, produce faint tinkling sounds, or even wiggle and bounce slightly! Though they usually cannot see or remember events that happen to them while in this form, powerful experiences that occur around them can subtly affect their future growth or personality.

Newborns, on the other paw, are vulnerable and small, needing protection and safety from the vast galaxy they call home. They need the care any baby might, depending on their makeup and abilities.

Shapeshifting:
Porri can shapeshift, changing the dream energy that makes up their form into another shape at will. Every pon has a dreamform, which is their original fox-shaped self that is always accessible. In addition, most porri also have a "humanoid" form (that can vary vastly in appearance). Any other form they can take is unique to them, with some porri deftly swapping through many forms at will, while others keep a small handful of forms close to their heart.

Hmmm.... it seems like the information about this topic has been scribbled over by a newborn. I'll have to rewrite everything... and babyproof the lab. ​

Born from smaller pools of dream energy, dreambeans are naturally drawn to the magic that flows within porri. Many choose to share their lives with a pon, forming deep, familial bonds — those especially close can even walk through their companions dreams!

On rare occasions, a dream from a sleeping pon can be so powerful that it'll manifest into a dreambean! The bond between a pon and a dreambean created this way is often even stronger, with some pairs able to communicate telepathically.

It is up to the player how intelligent a dreambean is, or if they can communicate with other dreambeans and porri.

Along with having a dreamform, every pon is made of dream energy. The specific energy that forms the core of a pon is known as their starprint, named by the nature of the dreams that created them. A Sweet Dream pon is born from warm, wholesome, and happy dreams, while a Night Terror pon comes from darker, eerie, or nightmarish ones. However, a starprint does not define personality, and it’s considered impolite to assume that one’s starprint might affect their behavior or personality.

Children do not inherently inherit their parents starprints — parents who both are a Sweet Dream can still have a child who is a Night Terror.

Most creatures in Ponporri are born from dream energy and magic, though, as with all things, there are exceptions. For the porri, creation begins when a dream attaches itself to a falling star, forming a starseed, or when dream energy mingles with other forces to bring forth new life in the shape of a newborn. Porri do not experience pregnancy, and depending on the Shard they inhabit, many may not even know what that concept means.

Porri can bring new life into existence either intentionally by encouraging their dreams to intertwine with another’s or sleeping under a star shower, or by the whim of the temperamental galaxy they call home. Typically, the galaxy's magic will place children near their intended parents when the creation is deliberate. But, in cases of chance, the results are chaotic and often not even witnessed, with newborns or starseeds finding themselves scattered across the cosmos, sometimes not even placed alongside their littermates.

Vivid Breedings:
Some breedings attract unusually powerful dream energy, infusing the litter with colors and traits unseen in either parent. These strange occurrences are known as vivid breedings, and they can result in an endless array of unique and unexpected features in the offspring.

IC vs OOC:
For shop purposes, IC and OOC breedings determine whether the resulting children are recognized as part of their family and whether their dream energy remains linked to their parents.

• IC (in-character) breedings keep all children connected magically to their parents and littermates, allowing them to continue their family’s lineage. The resulting children will have their certs noting their parents IDs, and advance the generation by 1.
• OOC (out-of-character) breedings, on the other hand, produce children whose dream energy does not link to their “family,” creating an entirely new generation with no existing ties (all children will become a Gen 1, with no marker of their parents). No magic can ever reveal who their creators once were.

The choice between IC and OOC breeding is permanent, so please be certain before deciding which path your breeding will take!

What Can and Cannot Happen:
Any adult pon may breed with up to three other unrelated adult porri. Related porri cannot mix their dream energy, no matter the attempt. Porri are also unable to breed with children or dreambeans.
