The Lambda are a clan that seeks to leave the world better than they found it at every opportunity, and encourage everyone to take it easy, and feel the rhythm of the waves.

The Lambda are a people who have strong ties to their heritage and beliefs. They strive to preserve their way of life even in the busy stressful world. Along with traditional dances, meals, and clothing, the Lambda have preserved their native language and speak it as a secondary language in their clan. (It sounds similar to Earth's Hawaiian language)

The foods in Lambda focus on the rich gummies and taffies that can be harvested from the wildlife in the coral reefs that surround the island, and the rich sweet fruits that grow naturally all around the clan. They are well known for using the husks of their fruits as serving dishes, and their rare gummy fish are renown all across Caramella. The raw sugar that makes up the shoreline in Lambda is harvested carefully by sugar farmers and cultivated to be the sweetest, most delectable raw sugar in the land, used exclusively in the top quality goods that are created in the Candy factories in Kappa. 

Kuʻialua, or Lua is a form of Martial arts that ancient Lambdafloss developed that focuses on joint locks and pressure point manipulation, that has found it's way in many of the tribal dances and celebrations still preformed in Lambda. Having a passive ability the Lambda of old had to defend themselves against the wildlife and enemies before the clans were united. Though this art is not as necessary in the current age, the Lambdafloss still study Lua in the interest of preserving their history and it has become a sort of sport both in combat and dance.

The Clothing in Lambda ranges from the more traditional style to more modern beach-wear.  Traditional garb is revealing with little coverage and commonly open chested on all genders. They are constructed from sea shells, large palm leaves and grasses weaved together to form loose and flowing outfits, adorned with bright flowers and shell accessories. Lamdafloss women like to wear long flowing dresses  that are easy to move in and breathe well in the hot sun. Modern Lambda men find a humorous sort of joy in wearing  brightly colored collared shirts that are painted with scenes of the wildlife and flora of the island. They are a very distinct look and are often worn on top of other tighter shirts or open to reveal floss' bare chests.  

attributes

Here are some common attributes shared by the members of the Lambda 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.

• Easy going ; If a floss knows one thing about Lambda its that they are Easy going and don't care about most things openly. They rarely have strong negative emotions and are always coasting in life, taking the easy way out. Be it a compliment on their control of their emotions and pleasant attitude, or a criticism of their work ethic, most Lambda will have to live with the stereotype and expectation of being easy going.
  
  
•  Generous ; Floss often assume Lambdafloss of being generous souls. They are the friend who will let you crash at their house no questions asked, or foot the bill for you if you're low on cash. With their focus on personal happiness, Lambda are often not attached to many physical things and get by on low income, so are usually eager to share their excess wealth when they have it.  For some this stereotype is welcomed, but for most it can get grating when people always expect you to give.
  
  
•  Unintelligent ; Living on the island, and spending a vast majority of their time outdoors, not many Lambdafloss indulge in technology, things like computers, smart phones and flat screens are hard to come by in the smaller coastal villages that dot the lambda shores. That said Lambdafloss are usually well educated and are much smarter than they may appear at first glance. Many floss are caught off guard when they see that side of a Lambdafloss for the first time.
  
  
•  Lazy ; Some floss see a lifestyle of partying, swimming, and laying on the beach as a lazy affair. The Lambda's philosophy of chasing your happiness rather than sticking with things even when they are unpleasant can rub a lot of floss the wrong way - especially if they were raised in a clan that believes in struggling for your victory. They can never see eye to eye, and the Lambda often pity those who over work themselves just as much.
  
  
•  Heartbreaker ; Be it the nature of their empathic abilities, the exotic sound of their voice, or the tendency to show their bodies off, the Lambda are very attractive to romantic partners. Sometimes too attractive. When jealousy arises rumors go around quickly about Lambdafloss and the manipulation of emotions or their inability to be faithful in relationship. It can make dating a struggle for young Lambda who find themselves the target of these sorts of whispers. Being branded as a heartbreaker can cause many tears for innocent Lambdafloss just looking for true love.
