Okay okay okay, OP I’m proposing to you an idea a friend of mine and I have story building for a looooong Time now, that I really just wanna put out there.
So, there are the 6 kingdoms of Sky, right? Correlating to 6 (twins count as one) elders, all rulers or patrons of each land, and tell its story through the spirit inhabitants.
The way I figured my own little universe was that each skykid was born— nice n good, yeah— but in their first trip to Eden, they’re assigned to a team. A team is 6 individuals, each representing a faction from the worlds. You start off unaligned of course, and are guided through Eden.
The other members of your team are Aligned— there are the Dawn kids, who are like the trail guides of Eden, who know the way. There are the Prairie kids, who serve as healers or just generally look out for the group’s health and winged light. Then you’ve got the Forest kids, who serve the weeding aspect— they can handle the dark plants and the red crystals, usually through training or something with the Lady of the Forge/Forest. Anyway, Valley kids serve as scouts for their speed in sliding or flying (they can choose their route of proficiency), Wasteland kids are trained as soldiers to fight the krill need be, and Vault kids take notes and study Eden.
Then the kid tags along to see what each job entails, as they have to go through the lands and see what each one is like. After Eden, they are presented with the six/seven elders, and are asked to chose their path (the concept of switching paths was also minorly established, with the idea that you meet all the elders again in your second Eden run to see if you chose the right path, and afterwards no take-backs). They chose and elder and reside there, in their land, learning and training as you do to get better at sky (and absolutely allowed to other lands, but like— it becomes home base, ya know?). Valley kids train in the races, as well as parkour to keep themselves agile for Eden. Dawn kids study maps and secret passageways in Scrolls provided by the vault kids, who take notes in the layout of Eden, the krill, the plants and crystals the forest kids handle, etc etc. The Dawn Kids train in medicine of the mind, soul, and body— and Wasteland kids train with staffs as spear replicas, as well as physical strength and flying skills to out manoeuvre the krill.
The story itself follows namely a PTSD stiffen Valley kid who watched his team die (you can die to krill in Eden, but cannot in the soul sacrifices— it has to do with corruption the krill guve you to your “vessel”) and they were the only one to come back. There’s a Wasteland kid that’s more of a sentient weapon than a kid, a small bubble gum jellybean of a Prairie kid the two adopted, a Dawn that just barely remembers the way through Eden, a Vault that probably smoking something but does their job well, and a Forest that’s indifferent to everything and everyone.
