Originally a small-sized underground cult that hardly anyone knew. Rumour has it they extracted memories and emotions to “free” their followers, helping them “wake up” in the real (new) world to reach “enlightenment”. They claimed they could enhance or "cure" siXth senses if desired. #skycross

【SIDE:PURPLE】
“Perception Is Prison.”

This faction is made up of victims and villains alike. Individuals from all fields and specialities—scientists, engineers, hackers, etc.—corrupted, whether willingly or not, amass here.

Before being known as a terrorist group, they were an underground cult.
No one knows the true identity of the mastermind, "the Puppeteer". Some suspect it may not even be one individual but several, or perhaps not even a life form at all.​​


Members have a digital tattoo branded anywhere on their body.

Another Q & A has been added! #skycross
What do the factions think of each other?
Astral Ciel thinks Scarlet Zenith are too strict while Scarlet Zenith thinks Astral Ciel are too selfish. Whether they get along or not is up to the individual (your OCs!) but the relationship between the factions mimics that of rival competitors. Despite their differences, at the end of the day they want the same thing—a place for catalysts—and can respect each other for that at least.

The FAQ has been updated! Feeling lost on what you can/can't do for SKY×CROSSING? It wouldn't be a stretch to say...the SKY's the limit 😉 Badum tss! 🥁 #skycross
How do I know what I'm allowed to add to the worldview? Can I make ___?

→ You can make whatever you want, the world is your oyster!🫴 ...But basically, anything that hasn't already been established in written form is free game to expand on. If it hasn't been specified, chances are Inoki🍊 has a very vague idea of it and didn't bother sussing out the rest to leave it open for interpretation. Else, if you find any gaps, feel free to fill it with your own creativity! And if in doubt, ask!

※See How to Play for supplementary reading.


What about the story? How much of it am I allowed to reject or change? Can my OC do ___?

→ Your OC is yours and so are your choices! Think of the story as a guide—a suggestion but not a restriction. Nothing about SxC is strictly canon; you can write your own story even if that means rejecting the events/conclusions (like an AU, except it's your canon)! So if you're wondering "can my OC go off and do their own thing even if it has nothing to do with the plot?" —Absolutely, yes! Just make sure your OC fits into the worldview, that's all I ask!

...But you're always welcome to come along for the ride and follow our story, you play your way🤗

【HOW TO PLAY】 First time? We gotchu 😎 Even if it isn't, we understand the amount of information can be overwhelming and recommend giving the How to Play page a read anyway! We also recommend brushing up on our Rules, Guidelines & FAQ! 🔍 #skycross
How to Play
SKY×CROSSING in 5 steps!

1. Make OCs/NPCs to occupy the world.
- Fill out the template (optional!) and post for the first prompt—1. Introduction—to introduce yourself and your character (use #skycrossintro)
2. Do any of the prompts that inspire you...or none at all! Totally cool to just vibe and interact with others.
3. When Event 1 drops, react! This can be art, writing, or a simple post of HCing or opinions.
4. Suggest a conclusion when the form opens (if you have any, else skip this step).
5. When Event 2 drops, write how your character’s story ends; deviating from the suggested endings is totally OK!

And that's it! Don't forget to tag all relevant posts #skycross!

Other things you can do while the event is running...
- Make up locations & occupations/roles
-- Including species, races etc.
- Write stories, HCs, brainworm
- RP with others utilising bsky threads or other mediums
- Collaborate art, magma/drawpile, etc.
- Come up with your own prompts and/or host your own events!

The world is fully open to explore, just ask if unsure!About 2026 specifically...

This year's SxC is full of options!

- Choose any of the plot lines to follow or dabble between
-- Or make up your own plot line!

- Pick a faction or none, or change allegiances halfway
-- Regardless of which plot line you choose to pursue, you can still pick a faction if you wish! Alternatively, your OC could have connections to someone in the factions, or they could have been a past member!

- Fill in the gaps of 5KY SECTOR!
-- Make up:
--- a business/organization
--- a phenomenon/event/conflict/your own story beat
--- Other OCs or NPCs for your lore

- HC the other six sectors of the Cradle
-- You can even take matters into your own hands and develop them yourself!
--- Might want to check in with Inoki🍊 or other participants in case they had plans and for ease of coordination. But other than that, it's all free game!

─── CURRENT NEWS ⚠️ (read: conflicts) Which plotline are you interested in pursuing with your #skycross OC? 👀 Or do you have your own plot in the making⁉️
CURRENT NEWS ⚠️

​​A. OUTBREAK [MAIN]
A chemical has leaked into the artificial oxygen supply that scientists are labelling Chemical X. It is said to be a byproduct created in the atmosphere surrounding the Cradle as a result of civilisation moving to outer space.

All sectors are experiencing an ongoing phenomenon of "abilities" manifesting in the population. Spontaneous and volatile, these individuals have been branded as "catalysts" and cause destruction upon awakening to what the Ark has named a "SiXth Sense".

In response, two factions have risen up to the task of handling the matter with the Ark acting as benefactor for both.B. ETHOS
The popular practice of converting memories into data and transferring them between vessels has been met with increasing concern along with other medical practices.

Society now questions: Are we tampering with nature and evolution? Data memories, genetic modification, cybernetic implants—necessary treatment or cosmetic luxuries?C. RIGHTS
The Cradle has seen a drastic increase in the population as organic life entwines further with technological advancements. Which begs the question: How should one categorise those who are made up of more than 50% cybernetic implants?

Census results have yet to be released but it would not be surprising to find that humans—especially "pure", unaltered ones—are now the minority among the Cradle's citizens. With this revelation, hierarchies and concepts now seen as primitive are under fire. Why are genetically-evolved (or modified) individuals considered second-class citizens to "humans"? Do robots have rights?
 
Riots for equal rights continue daily in 5KY SECTOR.

※As a general guide, plotline A is the "main story", while B and C are subplots that happen in the background...but there's no reason why you couldn't make B/C YOUR main plot! Explore whichever and make your story!

1. The Worldview​
A world will be decided upon for OCs to inhabit and interact in. An ongoing, main conflict between two sides sets the characters apart.​
※There is no actual winner/loser. It's merely a premise and the real reward is the friends you make along the way.

2. Events​
There will be two "events" declared that reveal a plot twist, a change in situation or some kind of revelation related to the worldview.

​3. Prompts
30 prompts for creators to get inspired and build upon, whether together or solo.

※All prompts & events are optional.

SCARLET ZENITH
【SIDE:RED】
“To Rise Is To Serve.”

This faction believes in control and regulation: that siXth senses should be trained, monitored and supervised, and used for the sake of helping others.

Core Principles:
Noblesse oblige, order & unity, guidance. SiXth senses are privileges.

Members wear a pin bearing Scarlet Zenith's crest.
____________________
ASTRAL CIEL
【SIDE:BLUE】
"Shine As You Will."​

This faction believes in acceptance and liberty: that siXth senses should be embraced with pride and used for oneself, for one's own whims.

Core Principles:
Expression, freedom & choice, possibilities. SiXth senses are gifts.

Members wear a blue ribbon that can be tied anywhere.Character Creation

General
Characters should fit the sci-fi theme of the worldview.​
The more committed one is, the more of their faction's colour they will wear​.
Feel free to make multiple OCs for either side but one OC cannot be aligned to both sides at the same time.
Reusing existing OCs is welcome!

Fashion
Futuristic, techwear, neon highlights, holographic, anything you'd see in the sci-fi genre.

SiXth Sense
Any ability goes, but you can only have one.
※only lifeforms that breathe oxygen can become catalysts and possess a siXth sense.

Weapon
Anything sci-fi flavoured! High-tech, mechanical etc.
※only authorised personnel are issued weapons and usually one to main.

Species
​We have a wide range of species available to play as! Including but not limited to:
Humans, ESPERs, cyborgs, device heads, virtual idols, artificial intelligence, robots, androids, aliens, genetically-modified or evolved organisms
e.g. An alligator head or a dog with superior intelligence

Role
Some ideas to inspire and illustrate the realm of possibility. Your OC could be:
- A founding member of the Ark
- A senior veteran of Scarlet Zenith/Astral Ciel who's already mastered their siXth sense

【WORLDVIEW】─── The Cradle🛰️ 1000 years in the future, a city of neon and evolution. A high-tech world rife with conflict. This year's theme is sci-fi/cyberpunk! 🤖 More details coming soon... #skycross
Worldview — THE CRADLE

It is the Year 3026. 
The sun has grown weak, casting the universe in a shroud of darkness.

With the Earth no longer habitable, humanity was forced to create new a civilisation in outer space. All of Earth's lifeforms were transported via the Ark to a man-made megastructure: The Cradle.

A massive orbital habitat built from seven interconnected sectors arranged around a central hub. Suspended in the void like a floating city, it houses the last remnants of known life immigrated from Earth.

This story takes place in the fifth sector, known as 5KY SECTOR.— 5KY SECTOR
The bustling city stays ever awake in eternal night with splashes of neon in every colour at every corner. Being the most innovative and advanced of the sectors, a mix of genius and madness is a daily occurrence in this fast-paced city known for its science and action.

Although moving whole civilisations over meant for a hard life at first, it is thanks to the progressive efforts of 5KY SECTOR that life in all seven sectors is relatively stable now.​​

The Cradle enjoyed a short period of peace...
But as humanity develops, new conflicts always arise.

No longer fighting for survival, society becomes the new battlefield for conflict.
Enforcement handling, medical ethics, and equal rights between subspecies are some of the sectors' many turmoils.
