Cutie PaM, you're the reason why. I love you so, I don't want you to go!
Cutie PaM
PaMs are a race of mermaids that evolved into human form and possess amphibious characteristics, able to survive on land and in water. However, their natural habit is the depths of the ocean where they live in a magical underwater city called Pamlovia!
PaMs primary source of nourishment is the sacred pineapple fruit, of which a regular regimen bestows them with the ability to survive underwater, command the water currents at will, and communicate with all creatures of the aquatic world.
PaMs are an extremely playful bunch and have been known to throw the most extravagant parties across the sea!
Their favorite party pass time is smoking elaborate hookahs filled with dried purple pineapple leaves, which are mildly intoxicating. With the pressure of such an esteemed image to uphold, it helps to relax and do something a bit naughty every once in a while.
There are a small group of PaMs that have become cyborgs. This came about as a result of a plot from the Ciphons. The Ciphons are shape-shifting creatures that cause PaMs much suffering.
The Ciphons tricked Cutie PaMs into letting them into their sacred pineapple gardens. Once in, the Ciphons planted an undetectable poison into the fertile grounds of their fresh young pineapple fruits.
Once the pineapples were harvested and enjoyed during meals and hookah parties, many PaMs fell gravely ill. Some never recovered and their names are forever etched into the Book of Eternity as heroes and women of great prestige.
Thanks to the quick thinking of Princess Niobe of Pamlovia, many PaMs lives were saved, but it came at a tremendous expense.
Princess Niobe quickly sought the council of the infinitely wise Psyopuras and they agreed to help. However, in order to prolong the lives of the gravely ill PaMs, the Psyopuras only choice was to make them into cyborgs like themselves.
Once the PaMs health fully recovered and they woke up, many were terrified with their new cyborg form. Eventually, they became to accept their disposition and many of them developed special gifts. One of them in particular turned into the greatest rockstar that ever lived - and they called her Pamadeus!
The Psyopuras are radical feminists and have dispatched all males from their society, or reduced them to positions of indentured servitude. To continue their lineage, the Psyopuras have created an elaborate fertilization ritual where they harvest the reproductive essence of males from neighboring kingdoms and genetically modify them to only yield female offspring.
If by some chance a young Psyopura gives birth to a male, the newborn will be cast out into the sea on a raft left to its own defenses. Historically, many of these outcasts have found refuge in The Nemanyo Kingdom.
There is also rogue element of the Psyopuras that love gambling. However, gambling is strictly outlawed within the code of the Psyopuras and those who are caught face a severe penalty, up to death.
This rogue group of Psyopuras, including some high ranking officials, created a digital pixelated playground called The Bagaverse where they are able to interface their consciousness into this simulated reality and continue to exercise their penchant for playing games of chance. It also allows them to play out their maladapted desires for becoming a man.
