The Noble Cubists Society

The Noble Cubist Society is a renowned organization ostensibly dedicated to the breeding, study, and preservation of gelatinous cubes and other ooze-type monsters. Founded by a group of eccentric scholars, alchemists, and adventurers, the society aims to unravel the mysteries surrounding these unique creatures while "promoting their safe and responsible interaction with the world."
Mission: The Noble Cubist Society is committed to advancing knowledge and understanding of gelatinous cubes and other oozes. Through careful breeding programs, scientific research, and educational outreach, the society seeks to unlock the potential of these fascinating creatures, harness their unique properties, and promote harmonious coexistence between oozes and the wider world
That is how the Noble Cubists Society began.
The Noble Cubist Society is a seemingly innocuous organization. Under the guise of a prestigious kennel club, they specialize in the breeding, training, and underground competitions involving gelatinous cubes and other ooze-type monsters. While publicly presenting themselves as enthusiasts of these creatures, their secret activities delve into the realm of greed and unscrupulous behavior.
Now it is social group of nobles and other upper class individuals who are domesticating and weaponizing gelatinous cubes and other oozes. These oozes are subjected to selective breeding, culling unwanted traits and coaxing out new ones. The Society runs an intensive breeding program focused on producing marketable and high-demand ooze specimens. They selectively breed oozes with desirable traits, often resorting to unethical methods to enhance their abilities or create new variations. Profitability and market demand take precedence over ethical considerations or the well-being of the creatures or their longevity. Some oozes have been bred to be frail miniature versions of their pure cousins, while others have had their poison or acid bred out of them, becoming suitable for pets for the children of the elite. Still others have been taught to mimic other creatures and recreate musculature and pigmentation. A few can even replace appendages with substitute materials such as tree limbs and weapons.
While many compare The Noble Cubists Society in much the same regard as Kennel Clubs and Horse Breeders, there is a dangerous underbelly to them. Much the same way that some participate in underground dog fights, some of the Noble Cubists participate in blood sports with specially bred oozes. Some go so far as to pit these augmented monsters against humanoid combatants. The more experienced the ooze, the better it becomes at these blood sport matches.
Some of the wealthier participants even begun supply their oozes with enchanted items called Cubist Boons. These Boons were created by the members of the society with the express intent to perfectly align the aura of certain enchantments within the morphic bodies of the ooze, Awakening these monstrosities and imbuing them with a malevolence and desire to destroy.

Key Objectives:

Exclusive Breeding Program: The society operates an exclusive breeding program focused on producing exceptional gelatinous cubes and oozes for private and competitive purposes. They selectively breed oozes with desirable traits such as strength, agility, or unique abilities to enhance their fighting potential. The society prioritizes profit and maintaining a diverse range of combat-ready oozes.
Underground Ooze Competitions: Behind closed doors, the Noble Cubist Society hosts illegal and high-stakes fighting events where wealthy patrons wager on the outcomes of ooze battles. These events showcase the combat prowess and unconventional fighting techniques of gelatinous cubes and other oozes, creating an atmosphere of excitement and intrigue among the illicit gambling circles.
Ooze Enhancement and Exploitation: The society engages in unethical practices to enhance the combat abilities of oozes, pushing the boundaries of their capabilities through experimentation and augmentation. They employ alchemical substances, magical enchantments, and even forbidden rituals to improve an ooze's fighting prowess, ultimately increasing its market value in the underground fighting ring.
Discreet Trade and Black Market Connections: The Noble Cubist Society maintains a network of connections within the criminal underworld and black market circles to facilitate the illicit trade of gelatinous cubes and ooze-related commodities. They smuggle exotic oozes, valuable ooze byproducts, and clandestinely obtained magical items associated with oozes, catering to the demands of unscrupulous collectors, criminals, and powerful individuals.
Veiled Public Image: Publicly, the society presents itself as an esteemed kennel club, organizing exhibitions and events where the elegant and refined aspects of gelatinous cubes and oozes are showcased. They curate an illusion of respectability and sophistication, attracting affluent individuals with a taste for the unusual. The society leverages this facade to maintain a steady stream of revenue, connections, and societal influence.
Membership: Membership in the Noble Cubist Society is reserved for individuals who share a passion for both the refinement of oozes and the allure of underground competitions. Prospective members must prove their dedication, skill, and financial influence to gain entry into the society's inner circle. Membership grants access to exclusive events, lucrative opportunities, and connections to the hidden world of ooze fighting and illicit trades.
Discreetly, the society recruits individuals who share their greedy ambitions and lack ethical qualms. They seek out adventurers, alchemists, and unscrupulous scholars who can aid in furthering the Society's goals. Members are enticed with promises of wealth, power, and access to rare and valuable resources obtained through the group's illicit activities.
