Concept of pre eden meltdown (current sky timeline) Ehinago!
He looks the same as the lamplighter, tho he's skykid height compared to the ancestor lamplighters. Light gets a little pissed being called a manlet among his peers and the fact they'd often lose their balance trying to hold the pole bc of his height.
When he was reborn as a skykid his clothes changes and he gains a mask and tie but the lamplighter hat, cape and firework staff remains.
Got hooked into Sky: Children of The Light as of late and Boom! Skykids time :]
Sky CoTL spoilers? So read more for some stuff and rambles abt these funny beepers :]
Ehinago - He/They/Light/Ze - Mid 20s in human age
Back before the current Sky: CoTL setting, Sky itself was a vast kingdom inhabited by light entities called The Children of The Light or simply called by Skykids. Ehinago himself was a skykid that bonded together mainly with the Lamplighter and the Captain, training to later take their place.
Fast forward and the kingdom announced the development of a new energy source much more potent than light and with it many skykids prospered near the center of it, called Eden. Ehinago wasn't onboard with the idea, but isn't in any position to do anything about it. However, disaster struck and the new power source started to heavily pollute the whole kingdom and eventually turns volatile, causing an apocalyptic meltdown.
Ehinago was now in charge of a search and rescue team trying to safely get people out of Eden while The Eye of Eden goes into meltdown hell. They would light lamps and fires to rekindle skykids' light and use their firework staff to alert other team members of any injured skykids. Unfortunately, Ehinago perished after being struck down by a rain of red rocks while trying to rescue a skykid out of the now known as Point of No Return. With no more light to sustain lights form, Ehinago turns into a dormant state, a statue.
Light doesn't remember how long they were in a dormant state until suddenly they awoken in The Light. His inner spirit tells him to step out of the big door of light, and before he knew it he was reborned and crash lands to Home. Despite being a little dazzled, he realizes that someone had brought him back to life. Ehinago now travels what is left of his kingdom in search of his savior...
...And then he met a moth.
Oyen - He/Dey/Light/They - 7 years old in human age
Oyen is....Oyen sure is! He's your typical not so moth looking kiddo who just seems to get into a lot of trouble. Oyen is a happy go lucky and active social butterfly who'd love to befriend everyone they meet. Safe to say, he's way too oblivious of things.
Oyen doesn't recall much, but at one point while he was chatting by the prairie he was approached by a trio of "fancy looking people". The last thing dey know is that dey were dragged all the way into The Eye of Eden and The Point of No Return. Oyen, being a literal child, has no idea what he was supposed to do and only mimics what dey saw the other three were doing - giving up their light for the statues. Dey weren't as skilled in dodging the red rock hail and gets completely battered, only managing to return one light to a statue. That statue was Ehinago.
Oyen was once again dragged through Eden once they were reborned and was dragged to find the lost winged lights - but this time the trio completely abandons him. Not knowing where to go, he simply huddles himself behind a stone wall. After what felt like a long while, Ehinago was venturing Eden once more - despite his fears, and spots a child huddled all alone. Quickly he carries them out to a safer spot and back to Home.
After the whole thing, Oyen pretty much stuck around with Ehinago being blissfully unaware of anything - all while Ehinago, now unfortunately a parent to Oyen, has to constantly take care of him while being unaware that he was the one to save him.
And now they get into problems and issues! Hoorah!
