Avgins were once one of the fragmented Sigonian clans located in Sigonia-IV. They were comprised of members of the Avgin race and worshipped Gaiathra Triclops. Eventually, the clan suffered a massacre by the Katicans during the Kakava festival. It is believed that Aventurine is the last living Avgin.[1]
Description[]
Individuals of the Avgins possess attractive facial features, unique beautiful eyes, and high emotional intelligence. Although these features enhance their charisma, they are also causes for jealousy and hatred from others.[2] As a result, the Avgins face prejudice and defamation to the point they've become infamous, with some describing them as liars, social manipulators, and two-faced thieves.[3][2]
Culture[]
Contrary to some other civilizations, the Avgins follow a religion removed from the Aeon belief system.[1] Their Mother Goddess is known as Fenge Biyos or Gaiathra Triclops. The Avgins believe SHE is the goddess of fertility, travel, and trickery. The Mother Goddess is often depicted as a left palm with three eyes. The Avgins worship their goddess through spoken prayers alone, as they believe that more pompous means of worship do not reflect HER humble nature and only serve to distance them from HER.[4]
May the Mother Goddess thrice close her eyes for you, keeping your blood eternally pulsing.
May your journey be forever peaceful and your schemes forever concealed.[5]
The Avgins see the world through the body of their Mother Goddess, believing that landmarks are merely parts of HER body. According to them, on the last day of each calendar year, the Mother Goddess' body must perish to be reborn the next day. Thus, they celebrate the first day of the new year through a festival known as the Kakava Festival.[2]
The Avgins also show fondness for well-made patterned fabrics and jewelry made of precious gemstones, especially turquoise meteorites, whose beauty rivals that of the Mother Goddess' divine body.[2]
Additionally, the Avgins understand the benefits of friendship and value trickery.[6]
History[]
Due to Sigonia-IV's harsh environmental conditions, only a small number of intelligent civilizations are able to survive on the planet.[1][4] The inhabitants of Sigonia are known as Sigonians and share a common language. Despite this, Sigonians have fragmented into numerous clans, with many sharing a vendetta against one another. Until the IPC's intervention, they participated in numerous wars between each other.[4] Among these clans are the Katicans and the Avgins, the rivalry of which lasted Amber Eras and once even led to a bloody conflict known as The (First) Katica-Avgin Extinction Event.[1]
When the IPC's Marketing Development Department arrived on Sigonia, its head, Oswaldo Schneider, led an operation that established a compromise known as "Sigonian Sovereignty", which united the Sigonian clans and allowed them to expand interspatially.[4] The IPC then granted the newly-formed political entity a legislative seat at the Interstellar Congress.[1]
However, due to the other clans' prejudice against the Avgins and the Katicans, the two clans were excluded by other Sigonians from the compromise and, instead, through a parliamentary decision, were banished to the desert. Additionally, the Sigonians used the opportunity to promise Avgins autonomy, thus removing themselves from the responsibility should any conflicts occur between the two clans.[4]
Second Katica-Avgin Extinction Event[]
Years after the banishment, the Avgins and the Katicans continued their disagreements. Eventually, the Katicans began to plan a mass genocide due to their vendetta against the Avgins, who, upon realizing this, requested help from the Marketing Development Department, to which they agreed. The genocide was planned to take action on the day of the Kakava Festival. Despite their promise to aid Avgins against the war, on that day, the Marketing Development Department failed to participate. As a result, thousands of Avgins were killed or went missing, marking the end of the Avgin clan.[7] Kakavasha would seemingly be the only known survivor of the attack, and he would eventually make his way up through the IPC as a member of the Ten Stonehearts, known as Aventurine.[1]
