Meet the Sigma Clan

The Sigma clan is the Space Age Clan. The Sigma are the original clan of the Sourfloss Flavor. They live on the fallen Thymono, half sunk in the sea between Glylos and Psakazi. Their clan is a bright one, filled to the brim with technology and cool inventions. The Sour Sigmas are a very optimistic and happy people. The Sigma have become masters of their lightning ability, using it to power their cities and bodies. Sigmafloss are always looking for ways to leave their moon, Thymono, to get below to Caramella to be with their kind, building all kinds of technology and performing experiments to try and escape their atmosphere. They are all about good vibes and do everything they can to stay happy and pleasant. The Sigma love to gather together and spend time doing cool things and sharing their projects.

culture

Because of their electric power, the Sigma travel in flying cars and other such vehicles using their ability to power them. They all hover off of the ground and are completely made of Thyminite. If you saw one in the sky you might call it a UFO. They come in bright colors and have lots of neon lights, brightening up the skyways. There is no large-scale transportation on Thymono because their moon is so small.

They don’t have a set religion, but are also not like Zeta’s who only believe in science. They have a lot of ideas and tend to believe in Karma, Good Vibes and always being kind to everyone. They are optimistic people and try to be as happy as possible no matter the situation.

Even though Sigma’s don’t eat, they have a lot of really weird borderline alien flora and fauna on their moon that Candyfloss haven’t ever seen before. Sigmafloss burn electric energy to power their bodies instead of food and can either recharge at will or use machines to assist. The food varieties that are available are similar to root vegetables and vine fruit. Most of the flora is super bright and neon colored. They have different colors and flecks of color inside like a jawbreaker when broken open. Normal Candyfloss would not be able to eat their food because of how sour the food is.

Sigmafloss don’t really fight each other and the only time weapons are used is in crime or by law enforcers. Ray blasters that were originally created to protect the Sigma from the wild animals on Thymono have been used in all sorts of crime and very much frowned upon. The blasters are a concentrated version of the Sigma Lightning ability shooting beams of pure electricity.

Sigma clothing is retro futuristic and made from shiny materials, usually holographic or metallic in nature, with shoulder pads, metal accents, and hoops. Their fashion ranges from body suits covered in zippers to crop tops and short skirts. The Sigma prefer to dress boldly in either bright colors or black and whites, enjoying anything that would make them stand out from the crowd.

attributes

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

Techsavvy - Due to the properties of Thyminite, the Sigma were able to accelerate their technology past even what the Candyfloss have been able to create, making them seem very futuristic in the Candyfloss’ eyes.
Hyperactive - Lots of floss, even among the Sigma tend to find their on-the-go attitude and excitement as hyperactivity, not to Kappa standards, but they seem to be a very close second.
Bizarre - The Candyfloss find the new Sigma very strange and bizarre. From their bright colors to their crazy style, the Sigma’s seem to be quite different from the Caramella Floss.
Sickeningly optimistic - Nothing seems to get a Sigmafloss down. They weather problems as best they can and tend to look on the bright side when things go awry. This attitude has allowed them to invent things beyond the Candyfloss imagination as they never seem to quit.
Gullible - The Sigma native to Thymono were unaccustomed to the Candyfloss planet they ended up on and seemingly due to their lack of knowledge of how some things work made it easy for them to believe things that were told to them even if it wasn’t quite true.

History

The Sigmafloss on Thymono discovered the planet and the Floss on it rather early in their history, watching as they discovered electricity and built their cities. As decades passed, the Sigma’s itch to learn more about the neighbors just got worse and worse and they started putting their brain power toward finding a way to communicate with Caramella. The atmosphere is so thick on Thymono that getting large spacecraft out of it is almost impossible so they started small, sending out satellites and telescopes so they could watch their neighbors better and find an opening to get their attention to let them know they were there. Eventually, as their technology grew, a scientist was able to create a small pod that could carry one small something and still escape the oppressive atmosphere. Astras, the leader of Sigma at the time, greenlit the project to use Marsmallows to send down to the Candyfloss each receiving a message to pass along, thinking that the Candyfloss would want to know where the little creatures had come from and would turn their attention to the moon. The first launch was successful and the Marsmallow made it to a civilization however something seemed to be wrong, the Candyfloss weren’t turning the moon at all, they just thought the Marsmallows were a newly discovered species and it also seemed like the little guys couldn’t communicate well those on Caramella even though they communicated just fine with the Sigma. More missions were launched and failure continued to plague the Sigma. Something had to work eventually so they kept trying.

leader

Proto Zoa is the rad leader of the Sigma Clan. He is a super friendly, popular guy who loves to spend time with as many people as possible. Proto is also an engineer, using his high intelligence to help invent and build to make things better for his people, always chasing a perfect world for his people. He’s also fun, shedding the stuffy scientist stereotype, loving to hip hop dance and party. As a young boy, he was an avid hoverboarder which has translated into a love of flying cars as he’s grown up. He loves to spend his free time in the garage, pimping out his rides and always trying to make his cars cooler than all the other ones. He also enjoys spending time with the ladies at various clubs, though he still has not found his star-crossed lover yet, believing that she’s still out there among the stars. Proto Zoa has always dreamed of travelling off of Thymono, so much so, that when he was little he climbed into one of the pods set to launch with a Marsmallow and was almost blasted into space. The scientists ended up stopping the launch just in time and Proto was rescued. Unable to find his family, if he even had one, Astras, the leader, adopted him to be his heir as Astras did not have a wife or family since he had no interest in getting married. Astras ended up being very attached to Proto and they had a very strong relationship, Proto always doing his best to follow in his father’s footsteps and do what is best for his clan.

Sigma territory

Overview
The Sigma clan lives all across the now fallen Thymono moon. They light up the heavy sky with thei bright cities and enjoy the wild fauna and flora of their home. Thymono landed in the ocean between Glykos and Psakazi, submerging quite a bit of itself before coming to rest partially above the water.

nature

Nature
Even though Thymono has fallen from the sky, its heavy atmosphere still hangs over the newly formed continent creating storms that are too dangerous to fly over. The water around the new island was polluted with the radiation from the planet, however over time the radiation has dissipated to non-lethal levels. The plant life of Thymono is bright and colorful, growing in odd shapes not seen on Caramella. The rocks and soil of the planet are made from Thyminite, an element needed in most Sigma technology allowing for their quick growth and advancement over the Candyfloss.

landmarks

Underwater City Ruins
These are the leftover ruins from Thymono falling from the sky and half of the planet being submerged in the ocean. They were all evacuated when the disaster struck and are all ghost towns except for the Taffyfloss that settle in to these cities as they try to salvage the technology and such.

Lake Turbo
There is only one lake that survived the fall of Thymono. It’s waters are thick and goopy, and it also glows and the water is super sour. All of the water was like this on the moon and it’s rarity makes it a high value commodity for all kinds of uses. Floss can swim in the lake, but getting out of the water makes them glow for quite some time afterwards.

Key Settlements

Nuetronica City
This massive city is mostly built above the huge power station that powers the entire moon. At the city center, all of the buildings are raised above the ground with the exposed grid below them while the outer edges of the city has buildings on the ground with a variety of uses. It’s a large sprawling, bright city that brings Sigma from all over to visit.

Phaserville
This city is built in the middle of a crater with a huge dome built over it. The dome is made out of large glass pieces that are hexagonal and great electricity conductors to carry electricity all over the city to power things like lights and the hexagons that move to let in ships.

Holotropica
This amazing city is bustling with festivals and good times. Something is always going on with huge holograms projecting over the city the singers and dancers that perform here. This city is also huge with tourists as when the sun sets, the city turns all rainbows from how the light hits the holograms making the view something to die for.

the City Ship, Atlanta
There is a city built out of a failed ship launch that was supposed to go to Caramella, but unfortunately due to the size of the massive undertaking, the ship broke down before it got very far and without any way to move the now crippled structure, the Sigma decided instead to build within it. The residents live in the original sleeping quarters and it has a huge mall, a main feature also of the original build.

Lunar Villa
Deep in the Thymono jungle there is a small village covered in vines and flora. Very few outsiders have ever visited this village and very few even know that it exists. The natives keep to themselves and live in harmony with the surrounding forest.

The Southern Dock
Another small village is made up of the criminals exiled there from the larger cities. It is a dank, dirty, and poor village with a lot of crime since there is no law enforcement here. Non criminals are not allowed as it is too dangerous for them and this village is also very isolated.

Clan Holiday

Celebrated in January

Long ago the Sigma lived and thrived in the orbit of Caramella on the Moon called Thymono! While on their moon high in the stratosphere they would all come together on this day to call out to Caramella in unison hoping to be heard, they called it the great commotion, and hoped to create enough noise, lights and sounds to be found by the floss on the large planet, but every year they were ignored. Floss on the home-world did notice the commotion however, seeing Thymono light up and flicker. They did not realize this was caused by floss living on the moon, but would just notice it and appreciate it's wonder.

Now that Thymono has fallen the Sigma have changed their holiday to the Neo Firma Celebration! One of joy and jubilation at the success of rejoining the Caramellan population and their rightful place among the other Candyfloss! They still hoop and holler and shoot off bright lights into the air and the whole island of Thymono glows like a raving party for the duration of the event! Floss from all over come to the Sigma clan to celebrate with them on this loud and happy occasion!

The Sigma leader Proto Zoa communicates with others using high tech Hologlasses, one of the many futuristic inventions from the Sourfloss.

Clan power

electrokenesis

The Sigma Clan’s power is the ability to create, control, and manipulate electric currents. The Sigmafloss are born with a current of electricity running through their veins. Much like the Alphafloss's fire, this effects them in many ways. If they build up too much electricity they can be pent up and irritated, so the Sigma have developed ways to manipulate and release electricity. They usually release currents from their fingertips, but can be known to release from other points as well, like their eyes, antennae, and pressure points. Their ability to use and expel their own electricity is directly tied to their energy, and when too much is released they can fall unconscious until they recharge over time. If they are 'overcharged' by being hit with external electricity they can 'short circuit' and will be unable to use their abilities for a longer period of time and be in a considerable amount of pain. Weaker Sigma can only conjure enough electricity to give their opponents tingles, or numbness, stronger ones can taze or incapacitate their enemies, and the strongest sigma can create currents strong enough to be lethal. Control of their currents' strength is very important and is taught young to prevent accidents.

Sigmafloss have learned to use their abilities in many ways. Because it is tied to their energy, Sigmas have no need for sleep, and can instead "recharge' themselves with eternal energy, natural or artificial. Though, sleeping does feel nicer so they tend to do that too when they want to, or when they have no choice. Sigmas are able to call down lightning from the air if thye are strong enough, and can charge electronics that are dead. The Strongest of Sigmas are able to generate such strong electric currents that they are able to have technology that requires a great deal of power, that would otherwise be unable to exist, like flying cars, and holograms in their day-to-day lives. Though, much of this technology requires Sigmas to run them, and thus arent exactly available to the general public.

Sigma exclusive trait

electric material type

Radioactive Material is a Legendary Trait.
The hard body of the sigma trait is non-corporeal, this means it does not have mass and cannot be mixed with other materials unless they can stand alone without it.

The Sigma Clan's special trait is the Electric material type! Sigmafloss' bodies give off an unnatural electric current! Much like Alphafloss this current is always flowing inside of them and can come out in unique ways! The Electricity produced by a Sigma floss glows in NEON colors (colors at max brightness) and pure white but can shift in hue from one color to the next! It can only be 1 color at a time though. The electricity tends to hold a shape of whatever trait it is, ie: a wing, tail, or halo, but can be turned on and off at the Sigma's discretion. The electricity gives off a mild amount of heat and light, and tends to wiggle and zap about, never holding still! When nearby something metal or conductive the electric trait leaps away from the sigma to zap it, which causes a bit of pain to the sigmafloss, so they try to avoid this! When touched the electricity can shock other floss too! The location where a sigma releases their electricity is marked with a bolt shape on their fur or skin. The electric traits burn energy from the Sigmafloss, so when they are too tired or ill, their traits wont activate. The amount of time and strength they can give their traits directly depends on their skill using their Electrokenesis.

Using Sigma technology, Candyfloss are able to explore nearby planets in their solar system, though they are all largely uninhabited.

Clan petpets

glOrbit

The Glorbits are creatures native to the Sigma's moon Thymono! They lived alongside the Sigma in space and now call Caramella their home too! They are small squishy critters who are very abundant and float around in colorful flocks around Thymono! They don't exactly fly, more like float in the air like they're filled with helium! They turn slowly and glide into walls and things when they float about. They can steer themselves and push themselves forward by moving their tentacles but always have a floaty nonsense about their movement. Around them there is a ring or two of space dust that glows and spins around their bodies.

Glorbeast

The majestic Glorbeast is a rare sight, with only 10 or 12 recorded to be living around Thymono at a time. The Glorbit pets very rarely evolve and no one is quite sure what triggers it for them. The Glorbeast are slow moving and calm creatures, who can float in the air or on the surface of the sea surrounding their island home. They are regarded by the native Sigmafloss as great beasts to be protected and adored. If someone is unkind to a Glorbeast it can be punished by law. Glorbeasts are very loving and careful creatures to their children and companions, they lay many eggs each season that produce a large family of Glorbits that they can be extremely protective of. When a Glorbeast is angry it can be a very quick and dangerous creature. It's electric shocks can reach targets up to 100 meters away and an kill on impact. Some floss in history have tried to utilize the Glorbeast's attack as a weapon but the Glorbeasts are stubborn and too intelligent to be manipulated.
