The Faction originated as one of the many [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society|Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]] formed in the [[Prime Universe]] as a result of the [[First Horde]] laying off large numbers of its personnel and imperfectly wiping their minds of their time as Horde operatives, giving them a subconscious itch to form new, similar societies. Its founder was [[Archibald Fishflipper]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies (short story)|The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]]'') Archibald's fashion initially pursued the same goal as its originators, namely researching [[Atlantis#In the Prime Universe|Atlantean]] artefacts, hence picking a sea creature as their emblem. However, they quickly became bored with these pursuits, and pivoted to pranking, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Faction of the Fooling Fish (short story)|The Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'') delighting in old-fashioned pranks like pie-throwing, electrically-charged hand-buzzers or glueing googly eyes to things. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') Their home base in the Prime Universe was a warehouse filled with practical jokes.

=== Contacts with the Cupids ===
=== Contacts with the Cupids ===
The Faction of the Fooling Fish were originally only active on Earth. However, in the early 21s century, they began to have contacts with the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') starting on April 29th, 2019. When a [[Rift]] appeared by chance in their headquarters, connecting to the [[Cupid Homeworld]], the Fish snuck into the Cupid Homeworld and made themselves known to the Cupids by stilling a pie left to cool on [[Colonel-028]]'s windowsill and replacing it with a paper fish. The [[Blue Feather]] followed the trail of crumbs back to the Fish headquarters, where they quickly met the Fooling Fish themselves. A minor scuffle broke out when the Cupids pointed out that it was not, in fact, [[April Fools' Day]], and the Cupids were forced to hightail it back through the Rift before getting the [[Department of Rifts]] to seal the Rift.

A short time later, the Rift reopened, and the Fish entered the Cupid Homeworld again, armed with a brainwashing device they'd recently acquired. They snuck into the [[Department of Documentation]]'s offices and found [[Bibliophile-962]] working on a [[Cupid Fact File]] on the Fish themselves, numbered #444. They used the brainwashing device to make Bibliophile forget his responsibilities and wander out into the wider Homeworld playing prank, while making their own, self-aggrandising additions to the Fact File in indelible green ink. The vandals were caught in the act, however, and forced back through the Rift which was closed a second time. The Blue Feather were assigned the task of guarding the location of the Rift in case it opened yet again.

After CS-NA returned to the Cupid Homeworld and set up a Christmas party there, he invited the Faction, who brought a mountain of snow for whoever wanted to to play in. It was especially enjoyed by [[Larrikin-1029]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'')
