Sloomen

Sloomen are a closed species by CandyMafia.

Once upon a time, the world of Sloomens used to be dominated by humans in the 20th century.

One day, a nuclear war broke apart, transforming all of the millions of inhabitants on the planet into slime as a result. Eventually, all of this slime, throughout the course of many years, accumulated and evolved into slime humanoids that would later go on to develop independent consciousness. Their own individual thought patterns, sentient feelings, and all sensations of self-awareness.

Their ways of thinking grew and advanced.

Currently, the universe of Sloomens is set in a medieval setting with remnants of the previous modern human world still. From what they’ve scavenged so far, they’ve been able to collect artifacts of what they refer to as the Old World, which they are still in the process of studying to this day.

The Sloomens have also grown socially advanced enough to establish a hierarchy of some sorts. For example, Abandoned Sloomens are slime humanoids that have been cast aside from the rest of society due to their deteriorating and moldy appearances, low income backgrounds, and some are even rumored to be cannibals.

Aside from eating food and drinking small amounts of water, Sloomens typically have products that help maintain their bodies. They have baking soda, cornstarch, or other similar things to help make them not too sticky and to maintain the flexibility and cleanliness of their slime forms.

While a lot of Abandoned Sloomens are affiliated with crime life, the main leading factor behind becoming one is poverty. For without much money to afford things like baking soda and cornstarch to help maintain their slime forms, eventually something like mold can develop, which is usually frowned upon since traits like mold are painted out to be conventionally unattractive.

To this day, Abandoned Sloomens are known to be a living social taboo and most of them can be found rarely in the streets and/or more commonly in underground catacombs.
