Meet the epsilon Clan
culture
The Epsilon tend to be laid back and well meaning people. With their strong religious background they tend to not worry about material things and it is difficult to upset them.
The Epsilon are a religious people who believe in balance and equality. They believe that all beings are one with the universe and have a responsibility to care for and learn from one another. They are strong believers in equal rights, body positivity, and animal rights. They believe it is their duty to have open arms for all floss who request help and often open their doors to weary travelers.
The clothing in Epsilon usually resemble Earth's Indian culture, with long thin fabrics and loose fitting pants. They often have drapes and shawls wrapped around their fanciful clothing. Traditional wear is usually decorated and intricate with beads and gold accessories, while more common casual clothing tends to be solid colors with cuffs and rims of bright accents. More modern takes on the epsilon fashion might be considered tacky by some floss, but the bright colors and crazy designs remind the Epsilon of happiness and home.
The food in epsilon is just as colorful as the rest of the clan with strong flavors and spices! Bright reds, greens and yellows are common on their foods and they tend to like savory and spicy flavors.
attributes
Here are some common attributes shared by the members of the Epsilon Clan. Does your floss fit the mold? Or are they an odd man out? Either way these are some stereotypes they may be compared to by other Candyfloss throughout their lives.
- Pacificst; Many Epsilonfloss are pacifists and choose not to fight if they have the option, martial artists train to control their bodies to fight efficiently with little damage to their surroundings and their enemies. Use of pressure points and dodge attacks are key. Because of this assumption floss are quick to assume an Epsilon wont stand up for themselves or others. Though, this is actually rarely the case.
- Noncommittal; Epsilon believe in letting go of material things, and are travelers at heart. Many say an Epsilon cant sit still in one location, job, or relationship for long. They have "itchy feet" and are not dependable. Though they do like to travel, Epsilonfloss don't normally have a hard time with long term relationships.
- Wise; many floss believe Epsilonfloss are wise and noble because of their focus on knowledge preservation and personal introspection. Though this is sometimes the case, being epsilon has little to do with it in actuality. Friends will often come to an epsilon buddy for advice and some Epsilon take advantage of this to start businesses as fortune tellers or counselors.
- Disconnected; The Epsilon's belief in calm minds, and anti-violence tend to give outsiders the impression that they cannot feel strong emotions. Some even go so far as to accuse them of being a hive mind, or made with stone hearts. Accusations like these often result in an Epsilon crying to themselves in secret - because they do have feelings after all.
- Athletic; the Epsilon's focus on diligent physical training and their harsh landscape that requires a lot of foot travel, often give them strong, resilient bodies. Some claim Epsilon are born with lighter bones that allow them flexibility and speed. (though of course that's nonsense) They are not conventionally strong like Gamma or Nu but the Epsilon do tend to be fit, and have high tolerance and stamina.
History
Many decades ago, the Epsilon clan was very different than the one we know today. It was a harsh land, filled with thieves, and street rats. Poverty and gang activity filled their streets and it was a very dangerous place to visit - let alone to live there. The Epsilon leader was an indulgent and lazy king, that cared nothing of his people. He only wished to tax them until they could no longer sustain themselves. He wanted nothing to do with the other clans and, though he was not at war with them, did little to contribute to their congregations. The greedy king had two sons, and when he perished the two fought over the throne. One prince argued his strength and might made him a more fitting king, while the other argued his cunning and ingenuity made him more deserving. Thus began a great war in Epsilon over the throne. Half of the country sided with one prince while half stood beside the other, and the country was split in two warring factions. It was a brutal war that brought death and heartache to all of the Epsilon people. Many years passed and the country remained split in two, until one day out of the depths of the mountains came a humble monk of the name Upahaar Yaatree. This young monk took a stand against the two princes, and when they fought against him, he showed them mercy. He preached to the torn nation about harmony and balance, and touched many hearts. Eventually the two princes came together in an effort to take down Yaatree, but in their confrontation they were instead awakened to his vision of a balanced lifestyle.
The two princes came to an agreement and decided to give Yaatree the throne and unite the kingdom once more, but before they could the humble monk had vanished. Satisfied with his job well done, Upahaar Yaatree returned to his mountains in the cliffs and lived on in peace. The two kings resolved to do as they were taught and rule the kingdom together. Under the rule of the two kings the Epsilon land was more prosperous and joyous then ever before. The kings taught Upahaar Yaatree 's words and it shaped the way their people lived from then on. The kings had many children with their wives and on the 18th (eyo) birthday of their oldest sons they brought their children to Upahaar Yaatree asking him to choose their next heir. To their shock he chose Rhoam, a young kitten and the smallest of all of their sons, one who was born with a disability, who had a difficult time with most things. It was a hard decision to swallow, but with their devotion to their beliefs, and trust in Upahaar Yaatree they decided his word would be law. And thus the split royal family became one again.
leader
Rhoam Maharaj is the gentle leader of the Epsilon Clan. Rhoam is the youngest of 5 sons, and was given the throne under extraordinary circumstances. Though his brothers may secretly resent him for his position they spent much of his childhood teaching him to prepare him for the throne. He is quiet, calm, and a great listener. Rhoam was a frail child and required physical therapy until he was 12 (eyo). Some say he never should have recovered but his will to be strong healed him. He was born mute, but his prodigious telepathy makes up for it very well as long as he is seen in person. Talking on the phone is still something he hasn’t quite mastered yet. Rhoam was raised in a caring family, that consisted not only of his parents and siblings but also his uncle, aunt and cousins. Rhoam has no sisters, but considers his cousins his extra siblings. He had always been very close to two of his female cousins, allowing them to pamper him, dress him up and play girlish games with him. To this day he remains effeminate because of their influence. Despite his attempts to court women he has never found joy in relationships and the idea of marrying makes him quite uncomfortable. It came as a surprise to many when he discovered that he was in fact asexual. With no interest in any floss regardless of gender or orientation, many wonder how he will pass the crown when his time comes, but Rhoam has considered many options. Though many only see his hand henna, very few know that he actually has a full back henna hiding beneath his robes.Rhoam is a diligent worker, and keeps himself on a tight regimen. He carries with him a condensed stone orb that is said to be over 200lbs of weight as a part of his training. He will often move it from his hands, to his tail, or balance it on his head. One reporter saw him fumble it once and it shattered the marble it landed on. Rhoam is of strong mind and body and never stops trying to make himself better. He is a tactical thinker and his opinion is greatly respected by other clans. He often stays quiet during debates but isn’t afraid to let his figurative voice be heard when necessary. He has grown close relationships with the other leaders of the Pzekazi continent, and is often there to mediate between Annalise and Zachari when their clashing beliefs cause arguments. He always knows what to do or say to them to make them calm down or laugh when they're frustrated. It's not unusual for him to go on sabbatical with little notice, and walk North or South to visit his friends for a while and take some time to get away from his troubles. He looked up to by his people and does his best to support them.
“You are not alone, the entire universe is inside you.”
Epsilon territory
Epsilon is located across the center of Pzekazi. The Epsilon Territory separates Delta and Zeta and reaches from coast to coast. The vast majority of the Epsilon region is littered with tall mountains and cliffs. Epsilon Settlements are usually located in basins or plateaus, and can sometimes be found nestled onto a cliff side. With a lack of plentiful flatland, some farmers have taken to farming on the cliffs themselves, though the land of Epsilon is not particularly futile. Statues and temples of all kinds can be found dotted around the many cliff sides in Epsilon. Settlements in Epsilon tend to be humble. The Epsilon treasure their rich heritage and that shows in their architecture, though they do not shy away from modern conveniences like electricity, television, and the internet. The more traditional Epsilon believe these conveniences are to be used as tools for knowledge however, and rarely use them for entertainment.nature
The weather in Epsilon varies throughout the year but tends to be mild in the summer month and harsh in the winters. Rain and hail are common in the southern parts of the territory and at the northern border temperatures rarely rise above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The sky in Epsilon tends to hold a turquoise hue but can fade to white around noon, and as night falls it takes a deep emerald hue. The soil and rocks in Epsilon are a mild reddish brown while the Foliage varies greatly from golden tones, to purples and maroons in certain areas. The cliff sides of Epsilon are topped with temperate trees and mosses and many small oasis can be found nestled on the flatter areas. The small percentage of land that is not cliff side is still very hilly and finding flat land is hard. Forests of white oak and birch wood dot the norther areas while heftier pine forests grace the southern boarders of Epsilon. The great rivers of Epsilon carve their way through the mountainous landscape but rapids and waterfalls make many of these rivers too dangerous to cross by boat.
landmarks
The Cave of Upahaar Yaatree
In the hollows of the Deevaar cliff range, small thin water falls flow down the cliff side, hiding a huge open cave behind their waters. The Yaatree cave is a very spiritual place and it's said that the veil between the spirit world and Caramella is at it's weakest on these holy grounds. Carved into the cave wall is a 50ft statue of Upahaar Yaatree. Saint Yaatree is an ancient teacher and formed much of what the Epsilon's religion is based on even now. Many Epsilonfloss journey to visit the Yaatree caves at one point in their lives to witness it's spiritual pretense.
The Raaja Ka Upadesh Library
The Library of Raaja Ka Upadesh is the largest collection of Candyfloss knowledge in the entirety of Caramella. Throughout it's hallowed halls books of any kind can be found and rented out to the public. The librarians and scholars that work in the Raaja Ka Upadesh library are often sighted as the wisest of all Candyfloss. Glorious statues and breathtaking architecture give these books and scrolls a stunning place to call home. Many Candyfloss flock to Epsilon from other clans to partake in the knowledge and learn from the scholars that teach in universities around Raaja Ka Upadesh.
key locations
Ujjval Shakti
The Epsilon capital Ujjval Shakti is located in the southern half of the country, in the low plains at the foot of the Deevaar cliffs. The Capital city is large but not tall like Nu or Iota. Most of the Capital is built from stone and marble buildings that come to ornate points with uniquely shaped rooftops, and brick paved roads. The tallest building in the city is the Epsilon Royal Palace, it has many courtyards and spires and is looked at as a marvel of Epsilon architecture. The city is lively and there is always celebrations going on in the streets. The Epsilon love to celebrate their planet and spirituality. It's rare to see large locomotives in the city as most floss go by foot through the colorful bazaar shopping centers and lushes parks that line the streets in Ujjval Shakti.
Yaatra Samudr
The coastal city of Yaatra Samudr stands on the rocky beaches of Epsilon. This large city is home to one of the biggest and most influential Epsilon Monasteries, where Epsilion Monks are raised and taught. The ports in this city are often used for travel between Pzekazi and Glykos leading to a large number of foreign floss in the city. The Epsilion Monks love to welcome new comers with open arms and share their knowledge.
New Himapaat
This is the largest city in northern Epsilon, separated from most of their clan by large cliff sides. New Himapaat is often colder than the rest of the Epsilon clan and is more influenced by outside technology from Zeta. This is one of the only places you can find large office buildings in Epsilon and is home to much of the Clan's technological universities. Though influenced by other clans Epsilon in xxx don't easily forget about their religious background, and finding a balance in the different parts of their lives is a must for those who call New Himapaat home.
Sundar Drshy
Sundar Drshy is a small village located on the side of the Deevaar cliffs in center Epsilon. This city is located in the highest altitude of all the settlements in Caramella. The buildings in Sundar Drshy are often separated by large stairwells and cliffs. Getting from one side of the city to the other can be a tough climb but those who live there are used to the constant changes in elevation. Sundar Drshy is home to many beautiful Epsilon landmarks and the view from the village is worth the difficulty of travel.
Town of Bhediya
This small town is located in west Epsilon in the heart of the Bhediya forest. This is home to many of the Epsilon's more "down-to-Earth" floss, and is known for their cultivation of nature. The Town of Bhediya is celebrated as the top tamers and breeders of Paizo dogs and some say the village was specifically built to accommodate the huge packs of Paizo Beast that roam in the nearby forests. Hunting or Poaching animals in Bhediya is highly forbidden, and much of it's surrounding forests and wildlife are protected under Nature Preservation Laws. This doesn't stop shady outsiders from trying to take advantage of the Epsilon's docile nature though. Watch out!

Clan Holiday
skylos Festival
The Epsilon clan is one that reveres balance in all parts of life. Balance in your mind, and body; balance between work and fun; balance between your own needs and the needs of others. Epsilon believe balance will bring inner peace and they all strive for this perfect equilibrium. While much of Epsilon spends their days in prayer, rigorous training and intense study - they balance their studious lifestyles with their beloved massive celebrations!

The Skylos festival is one of Epsilon's many displays of grander and happiness! Floss dress up in their brightest and fanciest surees and robes and joyously dance through the streets with a massive parade! Confetti, candy, and paintlike colored dust is thrown at one another, smearing eachother, and their surroundings with colorful dust! The Epsilon invite all of Caramella to their celebrations and strangers share meals with travelers! The most vivid and rich food is prepared and art is made in the streets all to be washed away in the coming days. As the night grows low the Epsilon settle down in their colorfully decorated homes to share stories and laughs with their friends of new and old! The Skylos festival is reknown in all the clans as the most cheerful and colorful of all the Clans' holidays and isnt one to be missed!
The Skylos Fest is celebrated in May
The Leader Rhoam likes to wear weights on his tail and tied in his hair as a part of his training.
Clan power
Telepathy
The Epsilon Clan’s power is telepathy. They can read the thoughts of others and even mentally communicate with them. The distance and strength of these abilities is determined by training. Masters of this art can speak to multiple people at once and can carry their “voice” over a distance with a louder volume. A select few of the elders can actually sift through minds to find whatever information they are looking for while novices can only read the thoughts that an individual is actively having and sending to them.

paizo pup

Paizo beast
The Paizo are the Floss' perfect companions.They're loyal and protective of their owners and tend to stick right by their side. These big, lumbering doggos can be a hassle to take care of, with their luxurious fur and aversion to b-a-t-h-s, but many Floss will tell you it's worth the effort. Paizo love to run and play and are always there for big wet kisses.

Poulance
The Poulance stand knee high on a Floss, and though they may appear birdlike, they are actually mammals and are incapable of flight. They do sometimes flap their arm feathers to balance themselves or to kick up water or dust to help clean their plumage. The Poulance are usually docile but if one feels threatened it will hunch down, fan it's impressive tail and attack! So be careful!Read more about this pet on their pet page below.
Kinnantas
These adorable furry elephants are a staple of Epsilon culture. The Kinnantas are common in south and East Epsilon and are found wandering the hilly plains in the wilds between villages. The Kinnantas have large flat feet and long trunks, and around their heads they have one long single ear that flows like a veil around their heads. Young Kinnantas are known to clumsily trip on their veil ear when they playfully run about. At the end of their trunks they have Epsilon shaped skin folds that pull back to open their mouths.Read more about this pet on their pet page below.
Kinmaeriffas
The booming sound of the Kinmaerifas can be heard echoing through the cliffs of Epsilon. This herding creature is said to have carved the very land of Epsilon and their roaring trumpets ring out in the hillside as they travel through the region. They are always on the move, never staying in one valley for too long.Read more about this pet on their pet page below.
Phoelance
Unlike their pre-evolved form, the Phoelance can sour effortlessly through the sky. These massive birds are rare to see, and Epsilon legend says if you are able to spot one in the wild that you will be blessed and given good luck. Finding a Phoelance feather can ensure the luck lasts while it's in your possession. The Phoelance are highly intelligent creatures and some legends even say they communicate by implanting memories into the minds of floss who encounter them. They are regal and fierce birds, known to lift their pray up into the air with ease and fly them off to their nests on the tops of the Epsilonion cliff sides!Read more about this pet on their pet page below.
