Sourfloss
Sourfloss are a bright and colorful flavor of floss! With their glowing traits and dark bodies they're a work of art! They have long antennae that they use to communicate their feelings and express themselves and a rich culture of fun, excitement and technology! Hailing from the fallen moon, the Sourfloss are truly out of this world!
About
All about the Sourfloss!History
From Flying cars, to holograms, to food replicators, the Sigma floss are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of Caramella! Once thing they couldnt accomplish however was the ability to travel or communicate with the main planet. For decades the Sourfloss longed to know their brethren on the main planet that they orbited around. They tried for generations to make contact with their mother planet, and the floss they knew lived there. At night they looked up at the city lights that dotted the planet's continents and wondered with it was like on the surface. Eventually the Sigma were able to create a vehicle that could make it from the moon to the planet, they loaded up one of their petpets, the Marsmallows, to test if their invention worked, but none ever reported back... The Leader Proto Zoa dedicated his life to making contact with the mysterious planet, and his strive for this goal helped the Sourfloss make many discoveries and advancements in technology. During a testing of one of his invention something terrible went wrong and the moon Thymono fell out of orbit... doomed to crash down to the planet below! The sourfloss would get their wish but at what cost?!
Comic
The leader Proto did not panic, and evacuated all the sourfloss into the emergency shelters they had built in the center of their planet, here they were safe from the collision. Attempts were made to stop the fall, or lessen the impact, but the best they could do was slow it down enough so that they would not completely destroy Thymono, and half of the planet ended up submerged in water and crumpled with the sea floor below. The leader prioritized saving lives, and minimizing the loss of Sigmafloss during the disaster. Thanks to the quick response from the floss on the surface very few lost their lives, but many floss on the surface were effected by the radiation coming off of Thymono. After some time, the radiation dispersed and floss stopped being effected by it, but the damage was done. Now, with half their planet underwater, and the landscape broken into pieces, the Sourfloss are grateful for their lives, and that they are finally reunited with their true homeland, Caramella. Proto Zoa is now putting his focus on making up for the mistakes that he made, and helping better Caramella as well as the Sigma clan.
Mutated sourfloss!
During the fall of Thymono, pre-existing floss were transformed into hybrids of their previous flavor and sourfloss by the mutant energy of the meteor shower. They were able to retain some parts of the original coat patterns and their flavor traits like wings and tails. These hybrids are known as 'mutated sourfloss'! You may see these floss with mixed traits floating around, but you cannot make new ones. These were limited edition available only during the fall of Thymono event.

The cities on Thymono, where the Sourfloss originate from are large and impressive. Their buildings range from pointed structures, domes, and strange geometry. They are mostly constructed of a strange silvery metal called Thyonite which has an iridescent quality and can be hardened or softened with strong electric currents. Thymonite has a pearlescent shimmer to it that is a staple of Sigma construction. Many buildings in Sigma are built on stilts high in the sky, this is to accommodate flying vehicles that quickly became popular with the Sourfloss. Though, they have trouble running for non-sigmafloss, they are still a popular mode of transportation in Sigma.
The wildlife in Sigma varies from strange creatures like the Masmallow, to more familiar creatures like a variant of the Jawbreaker bat. Plant life in Sigma is colorful and strange looking to most floss. Many plants and animals from Thymono are sour in taste.
Biology
The Sourfloss are unique for many reasons but the most notable must be their ability to glow in the dark, and light up certain markings and parts of their body. Their inner organs and body fluids glow bright and some parts of them can even shift in color!
Sourfloss can eat just about anything, but like the name implies theyre partial to sour flavors! Sigma floss didnt need to eat to survive, instead gaining energy from electric currents, but sourfloss who were born of another clan find sour foods most delicious and nutritious !
The body of a sourfloss is different than most, they are tall and lanky and have thin, slick fur, that repels water unless submerged entirely. Their fur is almost like nylon. They have no ears and "hear" things around them using the antennae that sprouts from their heads. They have glowing blank eyes, and dark fur among other oddities.
Antennae are super important for a Sourfloss! It's their primary way of perceiving the world around them! Sourfloss hear with their Antennae but can also pick up on air waves like radio waves, low frequencies and changes in the weather or magnetic poles! Wow! The Antennae are fleshy and covered in fur and move around subconsciously with the Sourfloss' emotion. They can stretch and wiggle and stiffen but if you tug on one it can hurt a l o t! Touching someone's antennae is a big no no! Unless you're someone close to them of course!
Culture
Sourfloss are a flavor of Candyfloss that were separated from the bulk of the population millions of years ago, and evolved differently on their home, the moon Thymono. Because of the different terrain and evolution the Sourfloss look very different from the other Candyfloss. The technology on Thymono is more advanced then that of Caramella due to the resources available to them, and the Sigma's ability to manipulate and produce electricity! Thanks to a botched attempt to communicate with Caramella, the moon Thymono crash landed in the ocean of the mother planet, and now the remains of their moon stand as a new continent for the Sigma. The Sourfloss are a energetic and optimistic people, eager to celebrate and share with the other floss. Masters of electronics and invention, the Sourfloss are the most advanced of all the floss, and they have a lot to share and give to Caramella.The Sourfloss's language is very similar to the Candyfloss' main language, this is due to television and radio waves that were picked up from the surface world from many years ago! However they do talk a bit differently than most floss. They tend to pronounce things oddly, annd use strange words like "Groovy" "radical" and "Tubular", this is a strange quirk that many find silly and endearing.
The clothing the Sourfloss wear are often strange and eccentric to other floss. With big hoop skirts, holographic glasses, arm communicators and big shoulder pads the sourfloss make a big impact with their rad and totally bodacious fashion. Most of their fashion is consistent of colorful Thymonite that is built to be flexible and comfortable. This is similar to what the normy Caramellans call "holofoil". Some describe the sourfloss' fashion as somehow both retro and futuristic.
Colors!
Color rules for Sourfloss!NEON and black
Candyfloss' color palettes are separated into "Native" and "Foreign" colors. The Sourfloss' native colors are colors in the black zone shown on the gauge to the left, and NEON colors! Neon colors are classified as any hue of color that is at the very top rightmost side of the color gauge! #ffffff White is also classified as a NEON color!
odd colors
A "Foreign" or "Odd" Color is any color that is not Native to the flavor. Sourfloss Odd colors act a little differently than other flavors. The odd color cannot be used on the fur of the Sourfloss. It can only be used on hair, eyes, and add on traits like halos or horns. The body base and markings cannot be odd.black and white
Most Candyfloss cannot use white and black zoned colors together but Sourfloss can! Wow! Like Peppermintfloss, Sourfloss have the rare ability to use Black zoned and pure white together in their palette! Nice! Whites on a Sour must be pure and will have GLOW effect like NEONs do! Awesome! Read more about Candyfloss color palettes in the [General Information] trait chart!

Special traits
Sourfloss have unique bodies!
Mouth!
Sourfloss mouths are pretty similar to a regular candyfloss! They have white teeth with 2 small fangs and their blood color on the walls and tongue! What's this! Their tongue is glowing! Their bodily fluids glow! Their mouth is a flash light! woah!
ears!
Sourfloss dont have ears! So weird! There's just a flat spot where their ears would be! How do they hear? Their antennae of course! They pick up on vibrations with their antennae and hear sounds around them! They can grab their antennae to "plug" their ears! So cute! 
hands and feet!
Sourfloss have weird hands and feet!!! Unlike other Candyfloss' a Sourfloss' hands only have 2 fingers and a thumb! The middle one is longest! Weird! Their feet are strange too! They only have 3 toes! Woah! Still no nails though!!
Eyes!
Eyes on a Sourfloss are blank! They have no visible pupil or iris ring! They are glossy wet and usually have some shadowing showing their form but otherwise have no definition! The NEON eyes will glow when the Sourfloss activates their glow ability! This effect can be turned on and off and can glow different colors on hetero-chromatic eyes!
Eyes that are colored with a black zoned color wont glow and when eyes are closed the glow cant seep through!
Sourfloss eyes still have no brows or eyelashes just like other candyfloss! When they cry the Sourfloss' tears are big and gloopy! They also glow the same color as the floss' other bodily fluids! (tongue/saliva and blood)
Radioactive Glow!
Radioactive glow is a trait all Sourfloss share! This is an ability they have that allows them to make the NEON colors on their body glow bright! When they are young and inexperienced they cant quite control their glow, but as they get older they can control the brightness, turn it on and off at will, and focus on glowing only certain parts of their body at a time. When a bodily fluid like blood, saliva, or tears leave their body they glow uncontrollably and cant be turned off until they evaporate or are washed away! The Sourfloss use their glow to communicate some things as a form of body language. someone flickering their glow can be a warning of danger or fear for example. When a Sourfloss gets scared, angry, extremely happy or excited they can lose control of their glow and do it subconsciously! 
Traits that have NEON coloring and Universal (non Clan Exclusive) material types, can glow too! Wow!Antennae!
The Sourfloss use their antennae to communicate!
Placement
Antennae are always placed in the green zone showed on our mannequin to the left! This area ranges from just above the eyelids to the hairline! Antennae are never in the hairline area, and are usually uncovered by hair, though some hairstyles cover the base of the antennae, it should be clear in your floss that the antennae are not coming from the hairline if this is the case for your Sourfloss. We recommend having a ref to the side with their hair swept back! Antennae cannot be in side of or touching horns, or have spikes growing on them, but they can have halos hovering around them so long as they dont touch the antennae.
emotive Glow
Antennae glow and can change their color! This can vary from any of the NEON colors on the Sourfloss! They tend to change when the Sourfloss experiences different emotions but there's no set key! Someone who knows the Sourfloss well might be able to tell how they're feeling from the color of their antennae however! Antennae can only be 1 color at a time. They can have markings on the stem but not the ends. They don't always match one another. This is common, and all Sourfloss have the ability to change their antennae ends' color.
anatomy of antennae
Here are some requirements for all antennae! Antennae are always fleshy and visibly furry! They can range in thickness from the thickness of a human finger at the thinnest point to about the thickness of a standard soda bottle cap the the thickest point. All antennae are thicker at the base and thinner at the top where it meets the ball. The ball of antennae are always symmetrical and range from the size of a shooter marble to about the size of a ping pong ball 
Quantity
Quantities come in the following options. They can never have 0 Antennae and can never have more than 4. The antennae can be arranged however you'd like as long as they're within the green placement area shown above.| 2 is Common |
1 is Uncommon |
| 3 is Rare |
4+ is Legendary |
Tip Shape
Antennae are usually perfectly round balls, but some can be shaped like simple shapes, and some even have space in between. Common Antannae are perfectly round balls, spherical and solid.
Some rare Sourfloss have shape to their antennae tip that resembles that of a clan soul gem shape. They don't have to match the clan that the floss belongs to, and don't even have to match one another. However they are always solid all the way through.
Admin have the ability to make Sourfloss Antennae that are otherly shaped and even ones that have hollow space in between.
Ball shape is Common |
Clan shape is Rare |
Other shape is Admin only |
Length
Antennae length doesn't have to match! One antennae can be longer or shorter than the other, as long as you have access to both rarities!
Lengths come in the following options.
| Common |
between 6 inches and 1 foot in length. These stick upward when at rest.
Uncommon |
between 1 foot 1 inch and 2 feet in length. These can be held up or hang down when at rest, when hanging they do not touch the floss' shoulders.
| Rare |
Between 3 inches and 11 inches. These are tiny and cant move as much, they usually stick straight, but can have a little wobble. They cannot hang down. They are never shorter than 3 inches from base to ball.
Legendary |

Markings!
The Sourfloss have unique markings! Unlike most other Floss Flavors the Sourfloss have a unique coat type all to themselves, it's the Sourfloss coat type! These coats are special just for Sours and are made up of 2 major parts!
Black base
The base coat on a Sourfloss must be in the black zone on the color wheel! Black markings can be added in a 2nd black hue! These markings are unbound by any rules, and can look however you want them too!
NEON markings
On top of the black base the Sourfloss have NEON markings! These markings have several rules and requirements. Some Sourfloss have 0 NEON markings and are only black on their coat! This doesnt change the rarity though. All NEON markings can glow!
Thin lines that don't touch, not filled in.Color changes are harsh lines.
No gradients or blurred edges
Filled in shapes covering large areas
Touching markings
Color shift is blurred
Blurred edge or gradient
thin lines
NEON markings on the Sourfloss Coat type must be constructed from thin lines. Think of them as outlines. We recommend using a thin brush with opacity all the way up and no pressure sensitivity, this makes drawing the NEON markings super easy! The NEON markings cannot be blurred at all, they can only have harsh edges! Even if you change colors on the same line, it must be a sharp transition! Any lines that touch each other are considered the same line, so be careful to make sure you use black to break up your lines.placement
The NEON markings can only be placed in 5 of the following 10 areas. Be sure to choose wisely where you want to place your NEON markings! 
| Common 1. Biceps (From shoulder to mid elbow, all 4 arms) 2. Thighs (from panty line to mid-knee) |
Uncommon 3. Neck (from clavicle to chin) 4. Forearms (From wrist to mid elbow, all 4 arms) 5. Thighs (from mid knee to ankle) |
| Rare 6. Hands (from wrist up, all 4 hands) 7. Feet (From ankle down) 8. Head (from chin up) |
Legendary 9. Chest/ shoulder blades (From lower shoulder to clavicle) 10. Pelvis/lower back/ Butt (From lower shoulders to panty line) |
