okay skykids I need motivation to draw comics with my Sky OCs… and I do in fact need skykids to put in the background
so if you would be so kind… please give me your Sky OCs! I would like:
Name / nicknames and pronouns
An image or collage of images of them, or a drawing / reference, as well as any notes about their appearance such as scars or different colored core/eyes
Where they live and what their job is
Personality and lore notes like birth season / if they’re corrupted / etc (you don’t have to provide everything since they’ll be included as background characters if I choose to add them)
Feel free to give me multiple or all of your OCs, I won’t include everyone but will make a folder of them so I can add the relevant ones in parts of the comic. This will probably be open pretty much forever so most people will probably have at least one character featured at some point!
Thank you for skykids in advance!!

Just wanted to say that I stumbled across your art today and I LOVE IFOR AND I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM PLEASE
( your art is absolutely amazing )
THANK YOUUUU I’m so happy that you’re interested in ifor 😭💖 Allow me to dump their lore here:
Once upon a time an ancient, nameless skykid made friends with a moth. That moth asked them, “what’s your name?” They pondered a moment, then replied, “I forgot”. The moth, somewhat dense, inquired in a confused voice: “Iforgot? What an odd name. I’ll just call you Ifor”.
Seasons passed. Long after said moth had grown up, sacrificed countless lifetimes, and eventually faded into nothingness, another moth lit that weary skykid’s candle and asked, “what’s your name?” That skykid answered after a brief moment: “You can call me Ifor.”
Ifor is a gratitude kid, and has been around for countless seasons. While most skykids of their age have long since faded into nothingness, they somehow never managed to. And so, they pass their time by seeking thrill wherever they can - anything to impede the boredom, be it dodging krills, purposefully getting krilled, exploring out of bounds, worshipping AURORA, or half-heartedly following along the seasons.
They own a vast collection of cosmetics, and often are seen passing their time by switching up their look. Most often though, they wear their signature tattered dark robe with black boots (halloween pants), and sometimes season of duet’s sleeveless grey pants. Their cape is that of a manta they hunted themselves, and it serves to attract krill’s attention. The krill horn they carry on their back is also used to summon krills. Quite often though, they carry a musical instrument (such as the e-guitar, violin, or piano) in its stead. They’ve had ample time to practice various instruments to perfection.
Due to the constant negative energy surrounding them, and the countless amount of times they’ve lost their light, darkness has started growing on their body. It recedes and progresses like the tide, but most often it can be found on their head and face. Everytime they get reborn, their darkness is cleansed, but their darkness can also wither and die when they experience positive emotions. Positive emotions always come from forming bonds with moths, but it’s only a matter of time before the moth fades and their darkness grows back stronger.
Morally they are ambivalent, their mood changing unpredictably. They will often help redirect krills from other skykids by taking it head on, but sometimes will also lead a krill over to target another skykid just for the sake of it.
Currently, ifor is quite happy as they’ve made some new friends. Only time will tell if these will stay, but ifor has a feeling that at least one of them might. Said skykid is my irl partner’s character, and I very much enjoy drawing ifor with some of the ice melting from their demeanor (soft blushing ifor is my new obsession)
I hope this satisfies your curiosity! Ifor is probably the oc with the most lore I’ve made so far, besides my last skykid oc from like 2020, but i feel much more personally connected to Ifor because I based them off of my own playstyle of the game.
I’ve been playing sky since its release in July 2019, and I’ve had phases where I’ve gotten so tired of it, but just couldn’t quit for real cause of all the time and money I’d spent on it and all the fond memories I’d made (plus the game is just so pretty). I wanted to imagine how those feelings would translate to the character I’m playing as - I imagine they’d be amplified by a lot, so me wanting to quit the game became my skykid wanting to quit life, essentially. Fun stuff, fun stuff. And I do love to be the krill bait when doing wasteland quests with other ppl, so that part is pretty accurate too. And I’m also absolutely in love with the aurora concert and her music in general.
The only inaccurate part may be the “practicing to perfection” - I definitely know my way around the in game instrument mechanics but I’m no where near as good as some of those sky musicians out there hahaha, I do enjoy playing it though.
If anyone read this far then wow, amazing, I love you, hand in marriage please?? Hope you enjoyed my ramblings, @ the like 2 ppl who got this far

Welcome to the first ever Skyblr Hunger Games simulation! Over the next several days, your Sky Kids will be participating in a competition to determine who is the ultimate survivor. This simulation is being run by @skykid-nadir
The Game Plan
The game will take place over several days. Updates will go out two to three times a day, each one covering either a Day, a Night, or an Arena Event. In traditional Hunger Games style, there will be 12 Districts with 2 Tributes each, for a total of 24 contestants. I will be using Brant Steele's Hunger Games Simulator to run the game. Most events will be left as are, but I will be updating some to fit more appropriately into the world of Sky: Children of the Light.
This is an entirely fan-run event. We are not affiliated with ThatGameCompany or with The Hunger Games. All Tributes belong to members of the Sky fan community and the original creator will be credited.
Submitting Your Sky Kid
Each individual may submit 2 Sky Kids to participate in the games. All creators will be credited and their Tumblr accounts will be linked. Please let me know if you would like to be pinged when a post involving your character goes up!
Applications will be open from today until Saturday, April 29 at 11:59 CDTk (GMT+6). After that, I will add each submitted character to the bracket on a first come first serve basis. If you submit multiple OCs, they will appear in the same District. If I am unable to receive 24 submissions, I will supplement the rest of the Districts using NPCs from Sky: Children of the Light.
To submit an OC to the tournament, either message @skykid-nadir (my main blog) or send an Ask to this blog. Submissions should include your OC's name, pronouns, and a picture of them. Unfortunately the simulator I use only allows he/him or she/her pronouns, so nonbinary characters will have their pronouns chosen randomly.
Content Warnings
While the general content of this simulator is so extreme as to be comedic, there is some particularly violent content that might be disturbing to some participants. I will make an effort to add content warnings to anything particularly graphic or violent, but it is possible something will be missed. Deaths are not described in detail but include causes such as suicide, burning, suffocation, drowning, and crushing. There are also multiple events which reference characters losing their minds or stalking others. There is no shame in changing your mind about participating or in requesting a trigger be tagged.

HAND OVER THE HEADCANNON NOW PLEASE
Context
Aight. So first let's talk about how the sky language sounds like and what sounds it commonly uses.
My sky language, in both my headcannon and oc world, has many 'k', 'a' , 'r' and 'v' vowels and sounds, with heavy gutteral sounds like 'g'being used rarely or used as a silent letter. It kind of sounds like if you mixed spanish and japanese together.
(Although if this sounds too complicated you can just read it as is. I usually just write gibberish and then change it to make it sound like the language ex. I take away 'g' and add more 'a' and 'o')
So, how does names work in this language?
Names in the sky language often have two meanings and reading someone's name differently can give different impressions of the skykid. Lets take my skykid oc, Kari, for example. In english we would read her name as Ka-rie, but in the sky language it can be read/spoken as Kai-e or Ka-re. If we read her name as Kai-e, it translates to "Kind child". But if it's read it or say it as Ka-re, it translates to "Furious storm"
Sometimes a name would only have one meaning because it's too short, or a name could have three meanings. In the sky kingdom before the fall, names with three meanings were given to royalty and nobility. In very rare cases, a name could have 4 meanings, and those are only given to holy or religious figures.
Skykids names are often given to them, but some also pick their own names. Once they have a name, they choose how it will be read or spoken and associate themselves with that meaning. To refer to someone as the different meaning of their name when they didn't say you can, can be seen as rude or in worst case scenarios picking a fight/threatening them.
(Also it is possible that two skykids can have the same name, but each one is read differently. This is usually found with twins.)
Here are some more examples with my other oc's names
Mono- Moe-o/M-no (Quick shadow/Mischief, refers himself to the first meaning)
Sila- See-a/Si-la (Healer/Trickster, refers themselves to the first meaning)
Lae - La-e (Flower, only has one meaning)
Juno - Je-no/He-no (Second child/Star, refers herself to the second meaning)
Kari - Kai-e/Ka-re (Kind child/Furious storm, has no preference.)
(of course you don't have to read my oc's names like this. Reading them in plain English is also correct, as I consider that to be their translated names. As a fun game, I challenge you to write your skykids name in the sky language and what meanings are attached to them!)

Hi, I'm BETA, and this is my Mythical/Therian blog! (I know there are basically no Mythicals on tumblr but be the change you want to see in the world...)
I don't have many therian friends, so please feel free to reach out, I'd love to be buddies!!! I follow back!! Just ask me what my main is :3
DNI: Radqueer, TERFS, Anti-endos, I do block liberally, be aware. More info below the cut!!!
Names: Cal/Rocky/Joe Pronouns: None, or it/she Mythical types: Avian (4 yrs) and Kitsune (2 yrs), though I dabble in magical girl stuff occasionally Kintypes: Grey fox/kitsune, reshiram, skykid Fictionkin (in highest order): Biograft (PHIGHTING!), c!Ranboo (DSMP) The Lamb (COTL), Ruby Rose (RWBY))

I can't think of much else to write.... I have a tagging system but it's just exactly what the subject is so it's a little redundant to write here.
It's worth noting though that I don't consistently trigger tag. I'll try to, but I won't always remember since I don't tag anything on my main blog.

hey howdy hello it's yet another rp sideblog to @hyliasblade look i just didn't want to make a whole ass other account for this
this blog is for a skykid oc named fawn. she likes flying, plushies, and dark crabs (even though they keep attacking her)
here's a link to my rules pages on link's blog the rest of the about i'll put here on this post
anyway click readmore for more about fawn
picrew here
Name: Fawn
Pronouns: she/they
Age: eternal child (~10, forever)
Height: 4'1"
Species: Sky Child/Child of Light
I'll be honest, I'm not entirely up with the lore of Sky because it's a bit hard to follow, but here's what I'm going with for the case of Fawn:
Fawn is a Child of Light, a type of being that seems to act as something of a psychopomp in the world of Sky. The Elder spirits called such children forth to the realms of Sky, or perhaps created them themselves, for the purpose of soothing the spirits of the dead that find their way to these realms, and guiding lost Children of Light through the Eye of Eden to eternal light, themselves being unmade and reborn stronger with each trip through the storm that eternally rages in the Eye.
For fun, Fawn likes to play music and put on plays with her fellow Skykids at the Village Theater in the Village of Dreams, practice such performances in the Performance Hall, visit "Grandma" for dinner, and play pretend and hide and seek with her friends.
And now, she's made her way to Tumblr to make it an even brighter place. :)
NOTE: This should go without saying, but I am not comfortable shipping this muse with any other character, in any scenario. Despite being around for quite a while, they are still a young child. There will be no NSFW content from this muse, obviously, and I will not be responding to any NSFW messages that could potentially be sent this way. Save that for my adult muses, please.

Aurora Encore Concert Commissions!
Wow that’s a lot of examples, click for better quality! I’m trying to collect the Aurora IAPs I missed and will be drawing skykids / spirits for those willing to get me these items! First the prices for them, then the available slots, and then what I will and won’t do!
$5 per half body (waist up)
$10 per full body
$5 per simple background (trees, rocks, etc)
$10 per complex background (landscapes, cities, etc)
Just adding some clouds/rain/snow won’t cost anything extra! And now onto the slots! Most are $10 but there is one $15, if you’d like multiple skykids or a complex background you can definitely claim multiple slots. I’ve put a star next to the ones I want the most hehe ✨ the To the Love outfit is definitely my favorite
$10 slots - Runaway Hair + Record Breaker Sneakers; Runaway Outfit; To the Love Outfit (✨)
$15 slot - Giving In Cape (✨)
I WILL do:
Spirits, skykids, elders - you name it! I’ll do corrupted characters too
Light creatures! Price-wise including them in the drawing would either be a simple or complex background depending on the light creature
Anthro skykids (unless it’s a horse Megabird don’t make me draw horses)
Light gore, injuries, blood
I WONT do:
Anything NSFW / inappropriate
Anything bigoted or hateful
Heavy gore
The way it works is I’ll sketch out some possible poses on paper and when you’re satisfied, I’ll start the drawing on digital! I’ll send you progress shots so you can offer input and give you the final thing once I’ve received the IAP!
Because of the 3-day limit before you can send friends IAPs, if you’re interested I’d appreciate you letting me know sooner rather than later so we can exchange QRs (I’m also a daily lighter 😄). Please DM me if you have any questions!
Also even if you don’t plan on commissioning me, I’d appreciate you reblogging this! Thank you!!

Okay you guys REALLY like the idea of a space season, which is!! So reassuring because oh my god I have so many ideas for this, which I’ll be sharing later! Thank you all so much for the support! But for now I wanna clear two things up.
I think I’m going to call the season “Season of Cosmos”! I think the name fits the description nicely without being too clunky or blunt. Thanks to @ttltrashmammal for the idea, and thanks to everyone for the suggestions! It’s harder to come up with a season name than I thought, whew </3 I appreciate you all!
And second, Pluto would not be a spirit in this season… partly because 8 spirits in one season is already way more than the usual, but also because Pluto isn’t a planet. I’ll explain why below the cut, but still, I had a lot of people wanting to see some Pluto representation.
So… I came up with this little Skykid!
I wanted to show some of Pluto’s beautiful colors on the cape and mask, as well as Tombaugh Regio, Pluto’s heart!
I also gave them a little dolly that looks like Charon, Pluto’s largest moon! In fact, it’s so large compared to Pluto that they’re both tidally locked to each other (meaning they both face each other while they orbit around), and because their barycenter (the center of mass they both orbit) is outside of Pluto some people actually consider them a binary system instead of a dwarf planet and it’s moon!
Alright, so as for why Pluto isn’t considered a planet… Fair warning, this is lengthy
For starters, it’s not the only former planet! Back before Copernicus realized that the planets orbit the sun we thought everything in the solar system orbited Earth, and the Sun and Moon were both considered planets!
So we came up with the first rule for a planet; it must orbit the sun! If it orbits another object then it’s a moon or a satellite (we did need this distinction; we called the moons of Jupiter and Saturn planets too).
Once we got that debacle sorted out we started calling all the large asteroids in the asteroid belt planets too. Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, Astreae, Hebe and Iris were all considered planets. I mean, they orbit the sun so they’re not a moon, right? But then we’d have to include every single hunk of space crap we found in the belt, and it’s estimated that there’s 1.1 million to 1.9 million asteroids over the size of 1 kilometer, and millions of smaller particles too!
So we came up with a new rule; a planet must be large enough to reach hydrostatic equilibrium, or in other words to be rounded into a spherical shape under its own gravity. All the objects in the belt came to be known as asteroids or minor planets since they no longer fit the description!
You might point out that Ceres IS rounded under its own gravity… and you’d be correct! Which is why it’s considered a dwarf planet even today! I’m pretty sure it was still lumped into the category of minor planet at the time though, since the term dwarf planet didnt exist at the time and it kept things simple. Please correct me if I’m wrong though, I’d love to learn more about Ceres!
We were comfortable with these two rules for a long time, and when we discovered Pluto it fit right into the category of planet! However we started having some trouble when we discovered Eris, and it 2005 it was named the 10th planet. In fact, Eris is actually larger than Pluto! Or… it’s debated? They’re both very similar in size but we don’t have much data on Eris because it orbits the sun 3 times further away than Pluto, or 68 times further away than the Earth! (In other worlds 68 astronomical units). It’s so hard to observe…
But it brought up the question of where do we draw the line? There’s no telling how many dozens of small Kuiper Belt Objects we’d end up calling a planet, and if you include one you have to include them all…
So in 2006 a third rule was put into place; an object has to be massive enough to clear its orbital path, or in other words it has to be able to clear out any debris in its path with its own gravity. That excludes all objects in the Kuiper belt, as well as all objects in the asteroid belt (so now Ceres can have a place to fit in!). These objects were called dwarf planets! Since then we’ve discovered many more dwarf planets (two of which were called Easter Bunny and Santa because of the times of the year they were discovered, and were later renamed Makemake and Haumea. Irrelevant but fun!).
So that’s why Pluto’s no longer considered a planet! I don’t think of this as a bad thing, if anything it just made it go from being in last place as far as planets go to being in first place as far as dwarf planets go, and it’s been affectionately called the king of the Kuiper belt.
Nomenclature is hard though, and space doesn’t care about exact definitions. The asteroid Vesta is way larger than the Saturn’s moon Mimas, but Mimas is round while Vesta is not. If it hadn’t been impacted by two asteroids Vesta would likely still be round and it would be considered a dwarf planet, but it isn’t round so it doesn’t get that title! And what do we consider round enough to be hydrostatic equilibrium? And all planets have objects in their Lagrange points, they technically aren’t considered clear from the planet’s orbit but they do follow the planet as it orbits the sun! What’s the exact number of space specks we’ll allow a planet to have to still be considered a planet, because I’m sure there’s a planet in some far off solar system that has that exact number!
My point is this is all really complicated and tedious and there are no exacts and I’m in way over my head so! Please don’t argue with me about Pluto needing to be included in the season or needing to be considered a planet. Maybe I’ll give them a spot in the seasonal design, along with a few other dwarf planets, if I have enough time on my hands and motivation to design such a thing. As for if it needs to be considered a planet, take that one up with NASA and not me! (/lighthearted)
(This has all been a lighthearted rant, mostly with the purpose of educating you guys and letting you come up with an informed opinion on your own rather than saying Pluto should be a planet just because someone else told you it should be. I still love Pluto <3 and I love you all too! And if you’ve read this far, holy cow ty? I’m proud of you for learning, go get yourself a snack and have a lovely day <3)

Okay on a lighter note, I want to work on more world building for my sky verse.
Namely, the "ranks" and ceremonies/graduations when skykids go from moth, to (middle? Idk what to call it) to veteran. Celebratory stuff where they get adorned new outfits n such and do certain things!
Please by all means add onto this Id love to hear what yall got

hello hello! since you’re offering requests, please take my current skykid:
This has been my dream outfit for nearly a year now (since Flight, I think?) and I’m so happy that it’s finally a thing! wasn’t considering using Juggler’s pants until realising how well they worked with this. I think you’ll do it justice, I adore your style
very rough edit among the references here. have self-indulgently drawn this version of said skid with suspenders for a long while because Yes
I’ve named my skykid Nafis for a good while - probably not a necessary thing but wanted to put it out there
please do this in your in-game style - thank you so much in advance!
Nafis got some style that for sure (*´∀`)
