OKAY so. Silly fun lore. Why do they look like that? (Also They/He pronouns for our version of Sky /info (I’m projecting a little))

SO. The basic idea is that in my personal canon/writing, Sky is actually from the Aether, along with Herobrine (who is their dad). Well, due to some fucked up stuff, many many years ago, the portals linking the Aether to the overworld and other realms were banned/forbidden (hence why they don’t ‘work’ in base game), but there’s one place that actually links the Aether to the overworld still.

The Farlands.

The Farlands are actually this ever shifting, sort of pocket dimension, that acts like a barrier between the Aether and the Overworld, but it’s insanely difficult to catch it and get inside.

Now, I’m still working out some of the lore, but Sky was partly raised in the Aether, then at some point they moved and lived in the farlands for a majority of their life.

Sky and Herobrine are already pretty different from even just normal Aetherians, they’re both sort of godlike, with abilities that people just don’t really have, especially in the Overworld.

(Also Herobrine isn’t really a threatening person, he’s considered a myth by people in the Overworld because of the normal Herobrine things he’s done, but he’s never actually harmed anyone. He’s actually a major doofus. Fun dad vibes.)

(Also also, Sky’s mom is the Farlander, if you’ve ever seen the Campfire Tales skin pack :3)

So anyway, due to growing up in the Farlands, which are constantly shifting and distorting, it sorta fucks up your body. People normally can’t stick around very long in it or else they’ll start breaking apart into pieces.

Now because Sky grew up there, they’re relatively stable, and can maneuver around no problem. But the distortion comes when they go to the Overworld.

Their body isn’t used to the stillness of it. So it causes them to glitch and distort and break apart into blocky pieces (which doesn’t hurt, not for them anyway, being Aetherian AND godlike has some perks for quick healing/pain tolerance), so when they were like 16 they wanted to go and explore, so their dad gave them the amulet, which sort of mutes their powers and helps stabilize them in the overworld. (Essentially making them a normal person. Also idk how the amulet works don’t ask me. It’s made out of holy stone and zanite (Aether mod :3))

Without the amulet, they become. Like that.
