★Introduction to Gummi Sharks★
About Gummi Sharks
Gummi Sharks, sometimes called "Sharkies", are furless creatures made of a chewy gelatin substance packed with sugar. They originate from a world entirely made of candy, pasties, and other sugary sweets; even the creatures there are sugar themselves! Despite life being a literal "sweet life", it is a pretty brutal world at the moment. This doesn't really matter to the Gummi Shark population however, as they are not even believed to exist by life outside of the Jelly Sea, and only a few are knowledgeable of what they are. Life is very difficult for Gummi Sharks, so they have their own society to worry about! Their isolated society would be less than ideal in other creatures' eyes. This is mainly due to their values being along the lines of:
"The crueler and more power-hungry you are, the more respected you'll be."
Anarchy appears to be the only sort of official government within it. Yet somehow they are ruled and governed by the many layers of gangs that are formed, most of which are stitched into one network ruled by one intimidating and most powerful Gummi Shark.

What's Most Important to Gummi Sharks?
What is most important to Gummi Sharks? If you were to ask any Gummi Shark this question, the first thing they would say is action. Every action towards a Gummi Shark is met with a reaction. They pay close attention to action and reaction to determine how to treat an individual or how to approach a situation. Due to it being in a Gummi Shark's nature to generalize, they will learn to meet every familiar action with the reaction they've used before. Say, for example, one Gummi Shark poked another Gummi Shark on the shoulder, and the reaction was a punch to the face. Anytime they are met with unexpected touch, the poked Gummi Shark reacts with a punch. If the same Gummi Shark that got punched saw this punching sharkie again, they would assume the punching Gummi Shark is a cruel and ruthless sharkie and treat them as such. Really the other Gummi Shark could just hate unexpected physical contact, but they are now treated as a cruel being.
After you get past the action and reaction, a Gummi Shark would then say power, food, and status are important. Once they receive these, they would look for loyalty, to be feared, and gather information. Many do not get pass level B, but those that make it to level C and fulfill it will look to receive a few luxuries. Some luxuries are wanted more than others... but for the most part Gummi Sharks treat these things as less important even though other species would look for these to survive.
