Description
Grandpa Hickerypuff's Lunar Shinery is a loosely organized group of underground buunaito liqour peddlers of extremely dubious legality. The Shinery is primarily known for their high-proof liqour of debatable legality, produced with iron stills in several well hidden locations about the Candy Kingdom. A large portion of the Hickerypuff family is said to stay within the deep northern region of the Candy Kingdom, both as a means of remaining deeply secretive as well as making it harder for them to be investigated, of course because of this the Hickerypuff's have to regularly fend off schizos while also surviving the harsh winters that beset the north. The Hickerypuff's are most famous for their creation of an extremely high proof liquor known as Luunshine which is distilled using a special mash peppered with fully charged Candy Kingdom chuubanite. This Luunshine mash is known to be extremely dangerous to work with due to it's incompatability with certain herbs and flavors, if the wrong ingredient or too much of one ingredient begins to cause the brew to fall below a certain level of sweetness, it goes critical, igniting the alcohol and causing massive damage to its surroundings. It is for this reason that only the most trusted and skilled of brewnaitos are allowed to even attempt a Luunshine brew and why it has been long outlawed on Candy Kingdom soil, luckily, the clever Lady Hickerypuff has gotten around this by having all Luunshine stills operated in underground mining tunnels, "It ain't on Lunaito soil, it's under it, nora!" In addition to the underground tunneling systems, many Lunaitos have accused the family of robbing chuubanite transports in order to create more Luunshine, citing the intricate pit traps and shovel wielding men and women that appeared from the ground like gophers as evidence that the Hickerypuff family is corrupt and criminal.
The Hickerypuff's have been known to be slightly different from the average luuman, in particular due to the extremely crass and ignoble tone they speak in and their odd accents. Many Hickerypuff's also show signs of minor chuubanite radiation from prolonged exposure and have been known to ingest ludicrous amounts of alcohol, the effects that this has on the newer generation of Hickerypuff's is yet to be documented. The current status of Grandpa Hickerypuff is actually unknown simply due to the overwhelming amount of his children and supporters who also use the name Grandpa Hickerypuff or are Hickerypuff's that are also grandpas, Grandpa Hickorypuff would be nearly a hundred if the original man is still assumed to be alive.
History:
Legally named Grandpa Berryboo Hickerypuff, Grandpa was born to a humble buunaito family in central Candy Kingdom and began working at the age of 14, transporting goods all around nation for a modest but fair amount of coin. It was only by chance that he came to stop at a run down Club Luna that happened to be the workplace of the future Lady Hickerypuff. The two quickly fell in love and eloped together not too long afterwards, creating their very own Club Luna where they worked together as husband and wife for many years. One day, Grandpa Hickerypuff became convinced that there was something missing in the liquor that was sold at his Club Luna, and so in conspiracy with his wife, he began to subtly brew his own liquor to see how it faired amongs other imports. To his surprise, it became a massive hit in his local village and he quickly began to make plans to operate on a larger scale with the help of his wife and children. For sometime the Hickerypuff Club Luna was the place to go if you wanted good, quality, homebrewed liquor that was just as sweet as it was smooth, even drawing in a substantial amount of the Shishilamy population.
Disaster struck when a Luknight of great renown drank a batch believed to be poisoned by a jealous competitor, leaving the Luknight blind and forcing him into retirement. Despite Grandpa's claims to innocence, the royal authorities cracked down on the Club and he and his family were forced to close down and flee, seeking protection from the law in their many business partners who still believed in the quality of their moonshine and respected their diligence and art in the craft. Their connection to Shishilamy remained steadfast when their operations went underground and many are employed as bodyguards and taste testers near Hickerypuff outposts; in fact, the influence of the Hickerypuff's is said to have managed to even reach the Shishilamy continent, increasing shipments of their liquor dramatically. Currently the Hickerypuff family sits as a fairly powerful force in the Candy Kingdom outside of the Luknighthood, something which many find uncomfortable considering their disregard for following the law.
