Darkskies lore dump when ⁉️ I need to know who she pissed off to end up with a name like that
I'm so glad you asked (ФωФ)...
Let's start off with her origin story...
vvv Down here vvv
Darkskies, aka Skyline Webb, was the only child of Lorelei and Santino Webb. She grew up in a happy home, with plenty of love from both of her parents. She grew up with a lot of love and care for others. Skyline was quite the chaotic and outgoing kid, making friends with kids super easily. She had interests in many hobbies, but one stuck close to her, painting. She loved painting pictures for her parents to hang up. At her age, it was pretty good but not the best compared to her works when she's older. She mostly focused on painting landscapes and life. She was a great student and had made a lot of friends. Her life was generally very good, she couldn't have asked for a better one.
That was until one day, at the age of 17, she had come home from school to witness the dead body of her mother in the foyer, sliced in half through her abdomen. She was mortified, staring down at the body, then to a scythe she had never seen in the house before. She picked up the scythe, her hands shaking with nerves as she followed a bloody footprint trail to the kitchen where her father sat, sobbing in the palms of his hands, covered in her blood. He killed her! Her mother was dead because of him. At the sight of him, a low voice she had not heard before spoke to her, urging her.
“He killed her. Doesn't that fuel you with anger? You must set this right. Kill him. It's only right.”
Skyline's hands gripped the scythe tighter as the disembodied voice spoke as she stared at her crying father. Her fear and sadness were soon replaced by that anger she was told to feel about this.
“Kill him. He's a sick man. Kill him, or you might be next.”
The voice continued to urge her, and eventually, she gave in to the urges. She let's out a scream filled with anguish, running up to her father and slicing into her father. First one slice, then another, and another, until her father was nothing but a pile of flesh, bone, and blood. Unrecognizable as the man who raised her. When the job was done, she was given an option.
“I can give you the ability to stop those like your mother from being harmed, or you can leave me for another to find me. Who knows what they'd use me for.”
The offer was laced with the threat of the scythe falling into the wrong hands, like her father's. She couldn't allow it. She very quickly accepted the offer, but of course, it came with a price. She had to kill. She didn't have a choice to leave it to collect dust, or it was going to make her kill. In exchange, she was given abilities that were almost supernatural: a mist like form for quick escape, the ability to collect the blood of her killed victims and turn it into an average thunderstorm (removing evidence of any body), and lastly, immortality, to an extent of course, if she were to be fatally injured, she could die, especially if she didn't have any stored blood in the scythe to heal herself.
So, with the rules and benefits set, Skyline set off. It was suddenly a very stormy night, due to the removal of her parents' bodies. She couldn't stay there, suspicions would rise with the sudden disappearance of her parents, so she had to disappear too.
Skyline finds herself deep in the woods, approaching what appears to be an abandoned cabin to set camp. This soon became her forever home. She was at peace for awhile, nothing bothered her in the forest. That was until a tall, slender figure with no face approached her. He held no aggression towards her, no movements were made toward her. This slender figure was known in many tales to be the Slenderman. He was attempting to make her sick and take her to put her to his own use, given her abilities. Though he tried, Darkskies had no reaction to it, the static. Like something was interfering. This then led to the threats.
“You can not stay here. Leave now, or I will kill you.”
Skyline immediately refused to leave, expressing that she had nowhere else. He gave her another offer.
“Then you will kill for me. Whoever I choose will die by your hands.”
Again, Skyline refused. She already had her own thing going on killing for something. She wasn't going to add to that list.
“I will kill whomever I choose, you will have no choice in the matter. If one you want dead deserves it, I will kill them for you. If you need me, that is.”
This was the deal they both landed on, but if Skyline refused a job of his, he would find a suitable punishment for it. So far she hasn't, and they've been on neutral terms, but she very much dislikes the methods of his murders and the people he kills at times.
There, her life began to solidify, an endless life of killing those who deserve it.

That's it for her origin! There's further details but it branches on into other characters that are hidden within her story like- the sentient scythe :3...which might have to be for another post... if you want more random facts about her feel free to ask!! I definitely have an answer.
To wrap this up, here's some more art of her...
