The Glorious History of Poof Poofs wrote:Imagine, if you will, the deepest, darkest corner of the universe. Long ago, a small planet once known as Urb sat in this very corner; the remainder of life in a galaxy on the brink of death. As the light dwindled from the galaxy's single dying star, so did the hope that anything would survive in this virgin wasteland. The people of Urb mourned the loss of their only home as complete darkness enveloped them. As a final effort on the part of the people of Urb, with what meager power remained, they set their two brightest scientists aboard a rocket destined for the furthest reaches of space. This was in the hopes that they would carry Urb's legacy, memory, and the future of their civilization to a new world outside of their galaxy. As the two scientists gazed wistfully back upon their now lifeless planet, they thought only of their family, friends, and the tremendous responsibly entrusted to them. These thoughts did not last very long, however— probably due to the fact that they were fish people, or that the fact they were almost immediately discovered by a vagrant Poof Poof, or the fact they were actually quite delicious. The Poof Poof, on the other hand, was quite satisfied.
What Are They? wrote:Honestly, to describe a Poof Poof is a difficult task. Some could call them fluffy axolotls, others swear on their mothers that they're just glorified gecko-cats. Most just call them exceptionally cute vacuum cleaners instead of bothering trying classify what family they belong to. They have short, stubby legs seemingly evolved for the sole purpose of wiggling into tiny places they don't belong, gigantic eyes which they utilize to steal a cookie or thirty while you're distracted, fluffy gills which can be used to breathe in everything from water to zero gravity, and whiskers that feel vaguely gelatinous in nature and are often scented. However, Poof Poofs hate having their whiskers being touched, and it isn't recommended if you don't want your entire hand to end up in their stomachs. They have tails that can paddle them through the perilous environment that is space with ease, and thick, puffy fur used to protect them from the sub-zero temperatures. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of a Poof Poof is its stomach. Round, bouncy, and colorful, the stomach seems to be made of a substance resembling rubber, and can hold so much more food than seems physically possible for such an itty bitty creature. The ear-like anatomies on both sides of a Poof Poof's head are speculated to be used to intimidate opponents, such as a colorful dinosaur frill might do so, but their exact purpose is unknown. Frankly, a lot of things about Poof Poofs are unknown. They're just such odd little things!

Staff Rules wrote:Moderators
✦ Moderators must be able to deal with arguments in an unbiased, peaceful manner, and also act with a certain level of maturity. Something that a normal member could do may be frowned upon solely because you are a mod. People will turn to you for guidance, and you should be prepared to answer questions in a friendly way.
✦ Do not abuse your power. You weren't chosen as a mod in order to harass people or rub in your capabilities, but to help people feel welcome and teach them about the lovely creatures that are Poof Poofs. Treat everyone with respect and kindness!
✦ Put effort into what you do. You don't need to create a Picasso masterpiece of kind deeds, but remember that laziness is not a good trait in a mod! If you intend to answer a question, answer it to the best of your capabilities.
✦ You will receive one unlimited edit custom MYO per month for your work. You may make this yourself, or find someone else to design it for you. You may also gift it or trade it for other Poof Poofs/MYO's only, if you desire!
✦ Please don't try to answer something you aren't entirely sure about. If you have doubts that your answer is correct, message the owner beforehand and confirm it! Spreading false information can be frustrating for everybody involved.
