OOoo, alrighty. Get ready for a ramble (i apologize)

1. Do your Sky OCs know about Prince Alef and King Resh?

So I myself do not know much about Prince Alef and King Resh, heck I am confused on whether or not they were the same person. Therefore, this does affect my ocs in regards to the Prince and King. Regardless, most either know very little or nothing. Even though most of my ocs are reincarnations of an ancestor or past light creature.

Most information on the topic is only rumors or what little the murals and archive give. The spirits and elders do not give much input either as it is either vague answers or no response. It seems whatever they did made most not want to remember or think about it much. Zara and Altair have the highest chance of knowing more about the Prince and King than any of the others as one was a scholar in vault and the other a powerful light creature with connection to the megabird in their past life.

Opinions on the Prince and King from the boils down to 3 main answers: empathy for one and loath for the other, tragic/unfortunate souls, or nothing.

2. What seasons/days were they born in?

I can only give seasons or rough time frames on when they came as sky kids as I don’t have dates yet.

Mana, Naos, and Iasma existed way before any season and later during the Sky kid era did they all gain a Sky kid form through some strange phenomenon. The rest are either natural born Sky kids or reincarnations. Now, season wise:

Mana = Gratitude, Zara = Lightseeker, Lance = Prophecy, Naos = Prophecy, Shiro = Dreams, Altair = Little Prince, Vera = Flight, Koro = Performance, Spector = Performance, Iasma = Shattering, and Rui = Aurora.

3. What inspires you?

I assume you mean my inspiration for the ocs aside from general inspiration. Most of my inspiration comes from fan theories of the Sky kingdom or concepts that were either offical or fan made. For example, the idea that sky kids are reincarnated ancestor children eventaully was added to my ocs lore. Uh…maybe a bit too much as only Vera and Spector are natural sky kids. I can’t link or pinpoint specific sources so I suggest just looking up Sky lore speculation yourself as there is quite a bit for how rarely the game gives it or explains it.

One main inspiration is player diversity. Most of my ocs are either inspired by friends or kinds of players/experience one could have in the game. A few examples: Mana is a moth even though she is a vetern player; Naos is a crab lover and stacker; Iasma is one that loves to being near dark creatures and the darker areas of the realm; Shiro is a reference to bullied moths; Lance refers to those that are busy with irl life so are barely on; Zara being a fan on lore and wanting to help any; Altair being guide even when most of his friends are no longer around; Vera finding new glitches or creating new ways to have fun in the world; and so on.

Design wise, offical art work from current and old concepts. A few fan ideas from myself or others are sprinkled in, but most is offical inspiration. Tweaking in-game cosmetics or making new ones aids in separating my ocs from canon and gives more wiggle room to branch out.
