Hi I love your art so much especially your Sky stuff - you seem to have a super cool Sky world as well!! I’d love to hear more about it if you’d be willing to indulge me 🥺
You have some really neat characters and some of them are sort of like a different kind of skyfolk right? Like Thing, Roo, and Canary?
Also please tell Arryn I love her so much
And do you have a reference sheet of her… this is completely unrelated to me wanting to create fanart no definitely not I just want a reference for reference purposes
(you and other creators inspire me to work more on my own Sky world, so thank you!)
AHHH THANK YOU??? I'm so glad I inspire other people here with my little doodles and stuff!!! Keep up with all the great stuff and I'd like to hear about ur lore too!
------------------------------
Actually yeah uhhhh u see, Roo and Canary both are just the two sides of the same coin. While Roo lacks any light, but is a normal Skykid, Canary has a little too much of a light. But still a skykid.
Tumblr media
Roo was once a follower of a cult of Alef (or Resh, our favorite King of Eden). So red shards and weird enchantments extinguished his light. And while light prevents skykids from growing or dying (thank u Megabird), Roo can grow (that's why he's like 7 feet tall), but since he's a skykid, not a spirit or not even a human, he has no "soul" or "blood" equivalent. He's like an empty vase. So if he shatters, he won't be able to reborn like normal skyfolk. Basically he's just?? Literally empty. No voice, no light, no ability to fly, and he uses others candles to light his own so he could understand other kids. Like a bench in Sky, lmao.
And Canary is so full of light it keeps bleeding out of them. That's why they can't grow nor can't they age, even mentally. They're just a little energetic ADHD creature forever trapped in their moth-like mind. So naturally Canary has like 4 or 5 different Sky guides who watches after them, Askian included. Also since their light is stronger than any other's, they can actually communicate with other light creatures and Forest's rain won't drain them. No one knows what caused this, but Tala thinks Canary might be not one, but several skykids trapped in one body after some kind of an accident happened at the Orbit.
And… Well… Thing is a completely different story.
Tumblr media
It's a very weird "memory" of an older world's creature that got trapped in caves of the Forest. So, naturally, possessing an unknown ability to survive, it took form (or even possessed, who knows) of a Sky chibi. It's mask is it's actual face. Since no one actually knows what Thing is, they refers to it as, well, "Thing". Because it's clearly a thing, lmfao.
But being trapped inside of a dark plant (or whatever) made this little fella kind of aggressive. It possesses a great amount of hatred towards Skyfolk and spirits equally, because it believes that it was everyone's fault the Forest was poisoned. Also hates big cities. Guess why.
All in all, yes, they all are considered weird and kind of uncanny for other skyfolk, but while Roo and Canary are skykids, Thing is a cryptid.
Also yes. Arryn. She's very pleased to hear that! Would u also agree to be her new friend?
I uh… I hope this can pass as a reference....?

Obsessed with the aurora concert in sky cotl and how much the twst students would freak out if it happened on twisted Wonderland - like in the Magical Shift stadium or something
I may write a separate mini story about that (not canon to my fic but just to explore how they'd interact with the setting/everything that's set up prior to the event (stage for trying out the aurora's voice instrument, the stands selling capes/cosmetics, the seesaws, etc.)
[I'll put a readmore here for POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR AURORA'S CONCERT IN SKY]
As well as how some of them would feel during the concert - because if I felt all excited when playing on my switch I can only imagine the elation some of them would feel at being there. Idk how to explain it haha I'm probably missing a ton of clarity here.
Some of the songs would likely resonate more with certain people - I think the first years would really enjoy 'Warrior of Love' because of the energy and freedom they might feel during it! Lilia would probably be moved most by the performance of 'The Seed' given his past and the focus of the song in the concert.
And Rook would be gushing about how gorgeous aurora looks throughout - especially when she turns big!
ALSO YOU GET A GLIMPSE OF REBIRTH NEAR THE END! Imagine the awe that the cast would feel seeing as they would have never experienced such an astounding sight before then. Some groups may even link together like you can while going through there
ALSO QUEENDOM BEST SONG! Aurora helping everyone fly around and stuff AAAAAAA I love the concert so much I am not normal about it in the slightest lololol
The whole cast gets their own cape each - it only works in certain settings since they aren't skykids and don't have the same magical core, but each cape is unique and tailored to their tastes and personality

I just came across your Sky kid art and holy shit it’s beautiful. I’m honestly feeling a bit inspired by it because I’ve tried drawing Sky kids with more animalistic features before but it never looked right to me but goddamn I love the way you draw them <3
ahhh thankyou!!!!! i really like playing with the different ways to interpret the cosmetics, especially with the animal masks/capes. theyre really fun to try and stylize differently for different skykid personalities!
and now im realizing its been FAR too long since i drew cotl stuff,,,

Age Regression in Sky
Ahhh idk what to make for my first writing post, so im rambling about cute agere stuff for the world of sky children of the light since theres nothing for it
Tumblr media
Age regression would be so cute and fun in sky!! there'd be so much fun stuff for tiny skykids to do, especially when you include all the different props for activities, or seasonal quests that are best done with multiple people!!
im thinking there'd be tons of big sib/lil sib dynamics as well as general cg/little dynamics
littles could spend ages running around Daylight Prairie catching butterflies, going to the Cozy Hideout, or going to the Sanctuary Islands!
Caregiver skykids could take their tinies out ice skating in the Valley of Triumph!
Im going crazy at the thought of taller regressors using the chibi mask or temporary height spells to be as tiny as possible
Alternatively, smaller caregivers using temporary height spells to become giant! Easier to carry their little ones around
Props!! There are so many cute props in sky and they'd be so cute for regressors to play with. The seesaw, swing, campfire snack kit, plushies, and picnic baskets are the sky props that come to mind first, but most of the props in sky could be fun or useful.
The last bullet point for this is about the friend actions players can do with friends in their friendship trees! I personally adore all of the friend actions, but for this, the first one that comes to mind is the lvl 1 and 2 play-fighting actions you can do!!!

I had a dream where TGC had some plans to release a little more Elder lore AND give us something cool related to the Elders. Basically, I remember there being something about Daleth and lore in a season dedicated to a bit of his memories, and everyone was freaking out over Elder lore potential.
They were ALSO freaking out bc TGC had said they'd be giving each Elder a similar season and at the end you'd gain the ability to visit them out-of-season and unlock a spirit tree with them to unlock cool stuff like some more Elder-inspired cosmetics, and the ability to hug them (not clue how they expected to achieve this since hugging normal QGs is already broken, I expect the Elders would just pick you up??). The Elder trees were INSANELY slow to unlock... I think they took a special currency forged from ascended candles? Like hearts but with those and they cost like 20 at least each node... I think it was intended to be an endgame reason to keep playing.
The biggest reason this was a Big Deal was that every skykid got this one thing called an Elder's Blessing. Just one. And it was like an ascended candle tier unlock, required to unlock the very last node on the Elder's tree.
Just one.
I have NO idea what the last node was. Some cosmetic? A literal blessing in some way, shape, or form? Just a cutscene about the Elder being happy you dedicated so much light to helping them? Whatever it was, a lot of people were upset bc "oh no I need to have everything" and that kind of stuff, but personally I thought it was neat for them to actually make some things unattainable no matter how much you whale, and by a personal player's choices. Especially if it WAS some kind of ability; it would be downright ridiculous to stack all of them. Like making a character build in an rpg, you gotta pick and that was really neat.
Anyway, I then remembered we were doing the Elders' seasons in order like their STAR pins, remembered how far away Tsadi's was, and woke up immediately in despair

Doing more worldbuilding (especially as I work on story stuff for Light to Home) and I love the idea of skykids being reincarnated into other light creatures over time.
After numerous times of being reborn they shift, so next time you get mantas swooping in towards you or you deep call and get the aid of butterflies, it's just a past life trying to help out just a bit more

Okay, I got into sky awhile ago from your season of childhood au. BUT I have sooo many questions! Who’s Resh? What happened? What’s going on???? I can’t find any lore anywhere except fans and maybe the Aurora concert. Help???
Resh is...... Complicated......
Resh was.... The king of the kingdom and he wasn't a very good person....
He's the one who figured out there was power in the darkstone and in going after said power pretty much destroyed the world and made the connection between the spirits and Megabird all muddled. The cycle of death and rebirth was broken and interrupted. That's why the Ancestor Spirits need the Skykids to bring them back and stuff.
The lore is actually very vague and extremely open to interpretation. Pretty much anyone you ask has their own slightly different thoughts on it.
That's one of the reasons everyone is so excited about the Aurora concert. It implies some pretty big things (Aurora actually BEING the Megabird aka GOD for one, and lore about life in the kingdom prior to the fall for another), and also it's a really unique experience.
Very little of the lore is ever solidly GIVEN to us. Almost all of it is up to how you see and experience the world. I'd be happy to answer any more specific questions you have, but to try and explain it all generally isn't something I feel I can really DO very well, especially not at this moment. But my ask box is ALWAYS open and I'm more than happy to try and help you understand anything that's giving you trouble!

The Sentinels from Stray remind me of the Krills from Sky: Children of the Light
Both use blue lights as a searchlight which turn red if you wander into said searchlight
Both get easily distracted if you hide in/behind something

Hi lotus! :] I am attempting to participate in the ask game. I don't know how it works but I think I should send you like an emoji? Yes.
I'm curious about 📌, 🎶, 🏳️‍🌈, 🍀, and 💕.
I hope youre having q wonderful day! :]
I’m glad you asked! Hi!!!!
📌 how did you find your hyperfixation? 
I Think I was looking for Mappy content i haven’t consumed several years ago, found it, forgot for another three years, and then found it again. Of course, I wouldn’t care at all had i not played the original arcade game.
🎶 if your hyperfixation has songs/an ost, what is your favorite song from it? 
Funnily enough, the shiftylook Mappy ost is just royalty free stuff. And I won’t lie, I’ve been searching for it for a month or so with my friends. They’re ten years old at least, so the endeavor is almost fruitless. But I can tell you about how much i LOVE the namco sound chip, which i’ve also been searching for for ages with no luck...... Being a fan of Mappy is so hard in this society.
💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them! 
There aren’t many characters but I find there’s something to like in almost all of them. Mappy isn’t my favorite but I do have the most to say about him and i want to study him in a lab (i am goro). 
So like. I can’t exactly say he isn’t intelligent, he really is. But god is his judgement heavily clouded sometimes. His hubris makes him short sighted, considering he didn’t forsee that the jailing of Goro would result in the closure of Nyamco, which would tank the city’s economy, thrusting a good chunk of people into unemployment. I think that would be reasonable for Mappy have to at least assumed. I also kinda think he has a huge ego and i want to see him cry. Despite said ego my man is hanging by a fucking thread for real. i think he could snap at any second. i want this to happen. ALSO to add to the ego thing i love how much he fucking talks for no reason about how he Was a cop. like in episode 1 he starts going on and on like had he not said anything Skykid literally would not have known he was The Cop That Shot That Painting and Lost His Job also i’m glad he lost his job actually. fuck the police. Anyways Mappy has a lot of problems and ailments. Tell me why he thought it was a good idea to Re Steal the artwork that Goro stole. Mappy what the fuck. YOU JUST PUT GORO IN JAIL FOR THEFT. Idiot. I love this stupid mouse. i love thinking about how everything he does is like. 99% probability of things Mappy would do for Goro. like this man has him downloaded as a pdf.
 🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you? 
First of all not a single character in this show is neurotypical. ESPECIALLY not dig dug. i think most people would assume he isn’t but like. he isn’t. he’s the king of neurodivergence. 
Second of all We All picked up on the Homoerotic Tension in episode one where Mappy is talking about how he’s gonna put Goro in jail and Goro’s like no u wont~ and they have a back and forth. and even if you don’t read that particular scene as gay you at least CANNOT ignore Goro’s “i miss you” in that very same episode, or his very direct “I love you” in episode 7, or his ENTIRE SPEECH to mappy in the finale. Literally ZERO hetero explanation for Any of what Goro says in those moments. anyways Goro is gay. the cat is a homo. I also think he’s gnc as fuck. but that’s a little more self indulgent of an hc. as for the others Mappy is bi ace (just like me fr), dig dug is trans (just like me fr), sky kid also. 
🍀 do you have any kins or comfort characters from your hyperfixation? 
....................... kin Goro jhgfjgfjhsgfsfg

Looks like there's been a few minor updates to the animations in Eden
Idk how recent they are because I don't do Eden that much but we now do the 'don't go emote reach before dieing rather than just stopping and putting a hand over our core
Tumblr media
It was really hard to get a screenshot but you can just about make out that this person was kneeling and leaning forward before disintegrating
The other thing is, has the walk animation in the Inbetween (glow kid limbo) changed? I don't remember the skykids holding one arm out the whole time, I think it used to be the same as the stumbling animation

More Ingo and skykid things because @rns-skyblog and I had a conversation and I have more ideas because of it. Honestly at this point this has become some sort of au.
(And this is way longer than the last one, so bear with me again):
Ok so, remember when I said that Ingo starts getting a little protective of the skykids because of their antics? Well, while that is the case, I feel that the skykids are actually the ones being MORE protective and worried about him.
Because they know how much vulnerable and fragile he is compared to them, and that combined with their need to help him and what happened with the little prince, makes them have a great fear of him getting hurt and dying.
Of course, they’ll have to go to other spirits like the Quest Giver from the season of dreams and the Belonging Grandma to sort of learn how to take care of a living person, ‘cause you can’t tell me that creatures that barely have to worry about taking care of themselves would have any idea of how to care for someone who doesn’t.
Especially when it comes to the food aspect, because they don’t know how to cook (because the don’t need too) and the food that they do eat is made of light. Eventually the grandma has to start giving cooking classes for them and those end with… various results (most of them with either the food or the place set on fire).
Still, they would be the most successful at making him look less… ragged than he is in Arceus (I’m sure they themselves don’t mind torn clothes but they would INSIST on trying to fix his hat and coat).
Eventually however, the worry becomes so great that one night one of the kids decides to offer one of their winged lights to Ingo to temporarily turn him into a light being so he doesn’t get hurt as easily (and in hopes that it makes him less likely to starve to death, since light beings don’t need to eat as far as I know).
I’m pretty sure their companions would be at their throat if they found about that offer, but I’m not sure if Ingo would even accept the winged light or not, especially if he knows already that the kid is basically ripping an important part of their body to give it to him.
Either way, if he ends up accepting it or not, the skykids would eventually start being less protective of him when they realize he can take care of himself just fine. But still they sometimes insist on tagging along with him in certain places since they know that, with winged light or not, he is going to get one-shoted if he receives enough injury.
And by “certain places” I mean especially the Golden Wasteland. They are very hesitant on taking him there since it’s the most dangerous and corrupted place of their world (apart form Eden), but when they remember that they need to pass the wasteland to get to the Vault (because for Ingo that entrance at home isn’t open yet) they just sigh heavily and go there.
Of course they could just use the wind paths since it’s way safer that the fall to enter the realm,but those would likely make Ingo very dizzy. Besides, scaring skykids it’s funny, ok?
And when they arrive they almost get a heart attack when in the first krill encounter Ingo tries to save a moth that is spotted by it and it attacks them, but when it leaves and they realize that the two evaded it just in time, the practically run to him crying and hug him as hard as they can. And also scold him, like “Don’t you ever scare us like that again!”
Speaking of hugs (to get out of the “worrying skykids” part of this), it’s common for them to hug him if they feels that he seems sad and lost and needs comfort. Also, some of them take the size potion to get to his height and hug him better.
Also they get him a hammock to sleep next to the campfire in the Praire’s cave. Sometimes they cuddle up with him for extra warmth.
Initially Ingo has problems understanding the skykids because to him their words just sound like honks, so they end up relying on the emotes to communicate with eachother. It gets to the point where even when they show him the ways to properly understand them (like accepting the white candles or using the tables and stuff), he practically has all the emotes and their meanings memorized.
Likewise, the skykids quickly learn to not just trust his face to know his true emotions, since as we know, he acts completely different of what his almost permanent frown shows.
And by learning quickly, I mean literally the next day after he arrives (where he gives them the scare of their lives when he loudly wakes them up in the morning).
I think the kids would also find his behavior quite funny and endearing. Like, they may not completely understand all that train stuff and the way the phrases things, but they still sit there as he talks and listen with wonder.
Some may also think of it as a clue of what his job used to be. Sure they won’t guess that he was a pokemon trainer or one of the bosses of a subway system, but his orderly behavior and how he seems to announce things and stuff may lead them to believe he was the leader of some sort of thing, or someone who’s job was to keep everyone in line or something like that (if they don’t know what “conductor” means, of course).
Sometimes they try to get him to join in some of their antics since staying still all day is not his thing. Most of this ends with him worrying for their safety when they do something dumb or him doing something that makes everyone laugh (like playing the flute or the horn as if they were train horns).
And also, while I think they wouldn’t exactly get that far in terms of giving him back most of his memories, I’m sure they would help Ingo realize that the “person that looks like him” (cofcofEmmetcofcof) must be related to him in some way.
Personally, I think the similarities between one individual and another doesn’t really mean that much to a skykid because they are all born looking the same regardless if they are born together or not. BUT, they also know that certain clothes and things are associated with certain groups of people (like the rhythm outfits being associated with the spirits of that season).
So when Ingo tells them about this man, they come to the conclusion that either they must have worked together or were somewhat close. But this may lead to some angst when Ingo realizes that he forgot about someone who not only was close to him but also probably misses him and he doesn’t have any idea of how to reunite with them.
But don’t worry, it doesn’t last very long! Because some time later, someone else arrives in that world as well… But first I have to explain why on earth that (and also Ingo’s initial arrival) happened in the first place in this mess:
Basically after the events of the game, Arceus tried to send Ingo to his home but for some reason he couldn’t and he accidentally sent him to the sky realm. And the Megabird, who noticed it, is confused by the presence of a living human among the skykids.
So while the skykids are helping Ingo and stuff the two beings are practically arguing with eachother about the situation (like “Why is a human from my world in yours?!” and “Why did you send a living human to my world?!”).
And while they are arguing with eachother, someone tries to come to Arceus. But before they can even try to get his attention, the pokemon god sends them away in a portal, not even noticing who was coming to him. And that someone was Emmet, who ends up falling of the sky in one of the realms and ends up unconscious.
(Meanwhile Ingo feels some disturbance in the force but doesn’t think much of it)
Later he is found by two of the moths who got attached to Ingo, and initially they confuse him for his brother (for obvious reasons), and although confused by his white outfit, they just think that he just finally decided to change his clothes.
But when Emmet wakes up and sees them, he ends up startling and scaring them because he confuses them with Pokémon trainers and his demeanor is very different from his twin’s.
The skykids are caught off guard and very confused. Why is Ingo smiling? What are Pokémon? Why does his voice sound different? Why is he asking us so many questions?
But moments later the roles are instantly reversed when the skykids practically kidnap take Emmet for a flight and he ends up hanging on for dear life. When they finally make it to the ground he is just absolutely freaking out,the kids realize that he isn’t Ingo, and they are even more confused.
And they they realize something… wide grin, white outfit, looks like Ingo…Holy Megabird!
Skykid 1: It’s him! It’s the guy Ingo was talking about!
Skykid 2: ??
Skykid 1: You know, the fact that he looks like him, his coat is white instead of black,and the fact that he is still smiling despite the fact that we kiiinda scared him?
Skykid 2: Oh right!
The skykids are get very excited and try to take him to Ingo, but because Emmet doesn’t understand anything they say and is still scared by the experience he rejects their hands and backs away.
The duo tries to show him that they know Ingo and want to take him to his sibling, but even when they manage to communicate part of the message Emmet ends up misinterpretating their actions and when they still insist on holding his hand he ends up running away and they chase after him.
Emmet manages to hide somewhere and the moths can’t find him. But then they get an idea. If the brothers are so similar, then Emmet may have some of the same habits as Ingo. So…
One pulls out their horn, and plays it like Ingo does. And the moment Emmet hears it and peeks out of his hiding spot, the other skykid just, snatches the horn from their friend, yeets it at Emmet, and it ends up hitting him so hard he gets knocked out.
Skykid 2: Hey!
Skykid 1: What? (stares back at Emmet, who is now in the ground) It worked.
Later they carry him back to Ingo and the others while he is unconscious.
After Emmet finally wakes up, and Ingo remembers his brother properly and they embrace eachother , Emmet is still distrustful of the skykids because of what happened, but when he starts walking towards them his brother puts his hand on his shoulder and says something along the lines of “I know what you are thinking, but don’t” (because he has been here long enough to know that this kids are way more durable and powerful that they seem).
Eventually however Emmet starts warming up to skykids , especially when he realizes that they made sure that his brother was fine and safe. Although if Ingo accepted that winged light before, I’m not sure if his sibling would take that well initially.
I also think it would be hilarious that, even after the twins reunite, some of the skykids can’t still connect the fact that they are siblings and instead think that Emmet’s similarities to Ingo are because he brought his items from him (like how one buys cosmetics from spirits).
And their companions, who already know they are related, are all like 🤦‍♀️.

"You should never underestimate wasteland." The veteran says, as he pours some tea in a chipped teacup. "Many folks come here for krill dodging and paying their respects for the Elder. But most of them are outsiders that don't know how bad things can get if they don't watch their step. Especially now when the wastes are more dangerous these days."
You ask the veteran why the wastes are so dangerous now. But after you said it, you realised you just asked someone who is considered "chatty" in a fading town with a population of 20 and now you're in for some long story. Damn.
The veteran puts a cup of tea on the worn table in front of you. He sits down across you with his own cup and started to ponder.
"I think it was around 6 seasons ago when the wastes started to become more dangerous. Back then, we only had to worry about the dark dragons that stand in our way while we travel to the temple to go to Eden again.
Few settled in Wasteland, that's why you only have our fading town in this ol' place. Historians usually stay at our place when they want to divert from the path. Something about finding the ruins of some temple. Golden wasteland wasn't a wasteland from the beginning, you know? Although, many of them don't return. Heh, sometimes they become permanent residence in this town saying they like the look of our small houses and tents.
But then some non historian kids started to go off from the path to the temple. Something about seeking power to survive stormlock.
Well, as you would expect, many don't come back like the Historians. But sometimes, some of them do come back, but they got a wicked look going on. Their faces are gone and they look like shadows that creep around the world. And they start going off on some magic they found, real powerful stuff they'd claim. But when they show it to you, you just feel that overwhelming sense of dread, like when a krill passes by you. And you can even feel the light draining from you.
Although skykids of many different backgrounds like to pay our town a visit, we don't like folks who deal with the dark, so we chase them back to whatever hole they decided to crawl from. That usually turned for the worse and few of us lost our homes because of it.
I don't know what they did or saw beyond those windwalls, but whatever it is, it's against the bird and I suggest you don't go snooping around for it too. Some of those kids are still roaming around this realm and they all are looking for trouble. There's an eccentric shopkeeper that has a shop set up in wasteland. No one's caught them yet, but don't buy anything from him. They're known for scamming kids. Lil' moths are often warned to be weary of faceless skykids who pretend to be friendly. Thankfully not many go on these little expeditions anymore after it was started to be seen as taboo over there in Prairie and Valley.
There were a few here that did come back in one piece though. They've become guides and that's how our little town got our name. They're shady lookin' people but most of them mean well. Many of them are pretty strict though and they don't accept discounts on their prices. And they really hate the group of thieves that started to sprung up in the realm about 4 seasons ago. They're bunch of bullies, I tell you. I remember finding a beaten up moth that was robbed of all of their candles and left to lie on the edge of our town. Poor thing didn't know what happened or why they hurt then. They were so scared that they didn't want to leave my side.
Speaking of thieves, I remember when some kid waddled into our town with a guide. She had these little bull horns growing out from out of her head. I've never seen anything like it. But when she came to this town, she looked as if she lost a quarrel. Her nose was bleeding and her knees were badly scratched. I thought the guide was a bit harsh on the poor girl when he kept dragging her around by her collar. But when both of them came into my shop, it turned out she wanted to rob him but got floored instead, so now she had to repay him for breaking his staff. And then you know what happened after she paid off her debt? The old coot decided to take her in as an apprentice!
She's a lot different now, albeit still a little harsh on the tongue. She wanders around the town and helps where she can. She's an excellent guide now and she's fun to have tea with. Such a shame though, she lost one of her friends to Tenebra syndrome and now she's working with a quack in the forest to find a cure.
Ah but if you're looking for a good guide, I suggest you go ask one of the older ones. They know what lies beyond those windwalls better than us locals. The bull horned gal's mentor is still in town, although they rarely talk to each other now. He can get you through some interesting spots.
By the way, your order for your staff is gonna cost 50 candles. What do you mean that's a rip off?? Do you know how badly you damaged your staff!?"

ok that last sadist animation just really pushed me over the line so here ya go XD
Techno hoards items, especially Krill Eyes. He mostly keeps to himself and doesn’t have many friends. He is considered rather dangerous to other skykids though because of his skill with krills. He currently lives on the snowy mountains of Valley with Philza and Ranboo
Dream was Techno’s apprentice. He was old enough so that he wasn’t considered a moth when Techno took him in, and he learned from Techno for some time before going off on his own. He has his own group of friends and crashes with them from time to time. But lately...some stuff has happened.
also this is specifically dream smp :3

Sky oc: Wren
Tumblr media
Wren
She/Her
Spirit/Ghost Manta traits
Head Priestress of the Vault of Knowledge
Bisexual
Lives in a small area near the temple in Vault, dedicated to the Head priestress
11 Stars
Wren is the intelligent and analytical head priestress of the Vault of Knowledge. As such, she knows the in and outs of the entire realm, the names of everyone who lives there, where she can find each member of the guard and where everything is stored. In short, a very good organizer.
Not only that, she is also very good at communicating, not only with the skykids under her command or the other realms, but also with the Vault Elder Lamed. She executes all her tasks well and efficiently, making her a very capable and unquestioned leader.
Behind all that, Wren is totally the person to go home, grab a cup of instant noodles and watch anime late into the night, if that stuff would exist in Sky. She's very nerdy, with a ton of special and slightly unusal interests. Ever wanted to know what the stones in Isle consist of, in detail and how those materials came to be?
Wren can tell you. She will probably tell you too, as she's unafraid to tell anyone everything about what she's currently interested in.
Favourite spots:
Vault temple
On top of the giant lamp in starlight desert (perfect to relax and stargaze)
The various archives and storage spaces in Vault
Relationships with other characters
Lamed, The Vault Elder
They get along very well
Believes in her principles
Friendly talks, friendly banter
A dream team
Calls her 'Lady Lamed'
Abyss:
Best Friends since they were Moths
Hurrys to meet them at the Vault entrance if she knows Abyss is going to visit
Some people think they wouldn't get along, due to Wren talking a lot and Abyss almost never speaking
But plottwist
They both enjoy each others company a lot
Wren is able to tell what Abyss is thinking or wants to say by body language alone
Baku:
They have the same level of excitement
He's very curious and Wren knows a lot
Wants to teach him, but he gets bored if she takes too long to explain
Hmph
Memphis:
She notices Memphis interest in her job and his desire to be a guard
Tries to help him with theory
Both are a bit distant, but overall friendly
Zephyr:
They interact regularly, due to how close Forest and Vault work together
She respects him, as he takes his job serious and does it well
She considers him almost a friend
Karma:
Karma's crimes are well known to her, she read through the files
No wonder they are in the forbidden section
She thinks Karma's research, although unethical, is interesting and worth looking into
But not in the way Karma did
No way
Ray:
If she would meet Ray, she'd give her a piece of her mind
How dare she attack Abyss like that?
And in front of other people, especially moths??
Unbelievable
Changes and edits might happen in the future!
