SilverVale Lore - The Mochibun Invasion
Added 2024-04-02 14:13:34 +0000 UTCIn the furthest reaches of the cosmos lives a race of immortal rabbit-like aliens commonly known as the Mochibuns. The Mochibuns have conquered most habitable planets in their universe through a tactic of warping spacetime in order to breed with the ancestors of any intelligent race they come across. This creates a quantum paradox that results in an alternate universe being born where the Mochibuns have already colonized and spread throughout the planet. An empire spanning galaxies and a few multiverses requires a lot of energy to maintain. Thankfully the Mochibuns have perfected the quantum gestation accelerator, a machine that takes the sex cells of the Mocibuns and any compatible species in order to construct and collapse parallel universes in an instant, thus creating the energy of 4.3 big bangs a second. Their empire is so immense, by the time it would take to tell 1% of their deeds, a dwarf star would have enough time to go through its entire life cycle. Instead of trying to capture the entirety of the history, let’s focus on their latest conquest, a planet called Eris.
Eris sits about 1500 lightyears away from Earth, smack in the middle of its solar system’s habitable zone. Before the Mochibun invasion, Eris was a simple planet with no civilization to speak of. Several early life forms lived in relatively small scattered tribes that rarely interacted with each other. The one connecting thread between all early fables that spread throughout Eris was the presence of the Mochibuns.
Your average Mochibun can range from 3’ - 12’ tall depending on genetics and the gravity of the planetoid they were conceived on. They vary in color depending on their flavor and fillings. These aliens are partially composed of what some earthlings refer to as Mochi. This gives them very soft and stretchy bodies that also can functionally take any impact and still spring back to its original shape. If any force is strong enough to break the bonds of Mochibun DNA, it would also be enough energy to cause a microscopic tear in space time due to the gravity intensity required. This often gives a Mochibun the advantage in at least pointing where their atoms will be scattered across in the event of their separation. This does not result in death for a Mochibun. This would be the human equivalent of banging your knee on a coffee table. Hurts like a bitch but your day is barely impacted in the grand scheme of things.
Living under the rule of the Mochibuns has been received with mixed criticism. While many laud their efficiency, scientific discoveries and several heroic deeds, their expansion has unfortunately sucked up all the air out of the room for any other species to become an intergalactic juggernaut and their dominance over planets often causes explosive conflicts with the local population. In the eyes of their mighty empress, they are spreading the joys of their immortal existence. To many of the planets, they are nothing but aggressive colonizers changing their homes into drug farms and sex dungeons, the cornerstones of the Mochibun economy. Even among many top officials in the Mochibun government there is dissent about how they should proceed given their turbulent history. As of now, Eris is a few hundred years deep into Mochibun colonization and so far, the population has been accepting for the most part. As the Mochibuns know well though, anything can change at anytime.
