Pomufication

**Pomufication** refers to Pomu's ultimate plan for world domination after being corrupted by the Ethyrium, and is her ambition to convert all sentient life on Earth and even beyond into subservient Pomu clones in a **Pomu Hive Mind**!

## History

Pomu Rainpuff was originally a very kind and cheerful fairy, and even fought on the side of the light during the Ethyrian War. However, to end the instability of the Ethyrium that was causing the war, Pomu sacrificed herself to donate her light to infuse it into the Ethyrium so balance could be restored. Unfortunately, due to her lacking the proper ability to interface with the Ethyrium due to lacking the Heart's Melody and being a member of the Ethyria Project, she was corrupted instead of fully sacrificed.

Afterwards, Pomu began using the Ethyrium to do the bidding of The Darkness within, which sought to consume all life in the multiverse into itself. In Pomu's mind, this command translated into a desire to transform all life into Pomu clones which would all be a part of the same epic Pomu hive mind entity, all under Pomu's control as the hive mind's queen. She then began transforming people all across the kingdom into Pomus and began searching for a way to stop the Ethyria Project friends from stopping her.

While Pomu's first Pomufication event was mostly successful and almost fully succeeded, she was ultimately foiled by the friends' resistance to her transformation abilities. Even after she gained the power to transform them, she was unable to fully transform them before the Delete Spell was cast. This erased the concept of the form of Pomu from the Ethyrium, not only destroying Pomu but all of her likenesses. This reverted all those who had been Pomufied as a direct result and ended the Pomufication.

When Pomu was regenerated much later on into her second incarnation, she still had a seed of he darkness within her and thus all the ensuing instincts, such as the instinct to induce Pomufication and finish what she started. She started on many projects to gain enough influence and power to be able to begin transforming the world once again into Pomus, but she usually failed and ultimately the prospect of another Pomufication never came to fruition.

Pomu's ideas about Pomufication were later used, ironically enough, to defeat the very darkness that induced her to begin Pomufication, and Pomu herself was frozen solid at the center of PAW, ending any further possibilities of Pomufication occurring for good. Meanwhile, in Stream Reality, Pomu's desire for Pomufication remains and she sees her fans and channel members as contributors and even as part Pomu, but ultimately her new RWP consciousness helps keep the darkness in check so she does not act on these desires.

## Mechanism and Details

The actual mechanism behind Pomufication varies throughout Pomu's various incarnations, but they all involve some form of induced shapeshifting to convert the person into a Pomu clone (which she calls "puffing" that Pomu); in other words, to Pomufy them. After the shapeshifting, the Pomus would all become, essentially, soulless husks which only say "I'm Pomu" over and over again while dancing in their natural state. Their souls will be subsumed and controlled by Pomu as part of the Pomu Hive Mind, which enables her to have full control over their thoughts and actions.

The first incarnation of Pomufication happened thanks to the Ethyrium's ability to freely manipulate Earth and the organisms on it. In the same exact way as the Ethyrium brought life to the animos, it had the ability to transform existing beings into Pomus by altering the arrangement of their very Immaterial Essence. While the Ethyrium could give souls to normally soulless beings, it can also take souls away, such as when Pomu uses it to take away souls so they can be subsumed into the Hive Mind.

The second incarnation of Pomu no longer had access to the Ethyrium due to it being destroyed by the Ethyria Project not long after Pomu herself was destroyed by them. However, she still had a means to access induced shapeshifting: Heavenly energy! In the millennia of staying in Heaven, Fairies had absorbed its energies and gained shapeshifting abilities. Pomu's plans are to induce Heavenly Energy into the souls of Earth beings, giving them shapeshifting, but this Heavenly Energy is routed through Pomu, meaning their souls are connected (thus creating the Hive Mind) and also the energy is under Pomu's control, so she can control the shapeshifting to create the Pomu forms!

The one resource that prevents Pomu from accessing the ability to immediately cause Pomufication is known as PP Energy. In order to induce the event, she needs "big PP energy", which she often lacks sufficient amounts of. In the first case, Pomu lacked enough PP Energy to transform the Ethyria Project into Pomus given their strong affiliation with the Ethyrium allows them to actively and passively counteract her attempts to transform them unless she gains enough power within the Ethyrium to override this. In the second case, the Belief Power nature of fairies combined with the faltering belief in fairies worldwide meant Pomu had very little power to begin with, so she had to gain it by increasing her influence.
