[Event] 🔥Wisps and Whispers
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Frog🔥Wisps and Whispers🔥
October-November 2023
On Skire exists a land often referred to as the Everdark Desert; where the sands are black and glitter like stars both upon the ground one walks, and floating peacefully above like an artificial night sky.
At a certain time of year, the vast night-like clouds that encompass the desert begin to spread across a great majority of the Skire continent. No violent storm, no winds and rains, no thunder or lightning to follow the haze. It is but a gentle advance; the explanation for which is unknown. All Skire’s inhabitants can do is let themselves be tucked in for a long, long night.
It is not uncommon to view this phenomena as a remnant of a Creator’s wish or the work of some looming titan spirit casting its shadow. Whether it’s believed to be protecting the land or attempting far more sinister things is debatable. However, one strange occurrence is always foreseen and prepped for: The mysterious, wisp-like entities that appear to others only during this time…
Many call this occurrence the Long Night, and preparation for it is something everyone tends to do differently! One thing that is always the same: Costumes, Candles, and Creativity!
As the sky fades into its ominous glittering black, lighting becomes a necessary decoration, but it serves multiple purposes The lights are created and known by all denizens of Skire, offering guidance, communication, and illumination for Skireans and the little fire-like entities alike. Many Skireans use the differently colored flames of candles to indicate their intent or desires quickly through the darkness. The ghostly figures and wisps that show up are often devoid of color so not only do the colored candles provide festivity in the night, but are also easily differentiated from the wisps themselves.
Lantern Color Meanings
Blue - Come get food
Green - Come find Shelter/Safety
Orange - Mischief and fun is abound (Party or some form of games)
Purple - Celebration, come on in
Pink - Private / no one home or nothing happening here
Red - Looking for help
Lanterns and Candles
The tradition of using candles, lanterns, and colored flames originates from the Whicks who for ages have aimed to collect and assist the wisp-like entities. They are the most frequently seen species out-and-about during the Long Night, given the high volume of wisps that present themselves while the sky is dark.
It is said by the Whicks that these wisps populate the land constantly, but only become visible to others when the sands have cast their looming shadow. These wisps, while usually taking harmless shape, are known to have remnants of tangible magic that occasionally allow them to take larger, more ghostly humanoid and beastly forms.
Whicks claim the wisps are remnants of collected magic that either formed together, or failed to detach from an enchanted item (or person). It is also theorized they can form from failed attempts at magical spells, or by force of will by a living person. All these methods of creation have caused some to compare them to “ghosts” despite wisps never having living souls to begin with.
Whicks say that these wisps don’t have thoughts or goals, instead wandering with a leftover emotion or function from the magic cast. Rarely, they cause harm or take tangible form, so Whicks make an effort to understand and use the wisps in new ways to safely disperse the magic once more. Usually this is done through glasswork or metalwork, using these wisps as an energy source to craft unique magical items.
The collection of wisps within lanterns originates from Whicks who use lanterns as a symbol of home or body. It is popular to see Whicks with metal, stone, glass, or wooden gargoyles decorating their abodes; often adorned with empty lanterns hanging in their mouths or limbs. They believe a lantern is a home for a soul, and they wish for no soul to be without a safe place to call home. Protection is said to be provided by the gargoyles that watch over these lanterns, and often the tools used by Whicks will reflect the symbolism. Staff-toppers for practiced magic users will often be crafted by Whicks who excel in creating flourishing details and aesthetics that resemble these gargoyles.
Prompt Story
Part 1 - Prepare for the long night
Set up decoration for the Long Night!
Your goal is to decorate! You’ll want to set up your home to be the absolute best place to party the night away! The Long Night can be scary for those who dislike the darkness, and many believe that decorating with shining lights helps to ease those fears. Some though may relish in this darkness, electing to embrace it in their décor and celebrations or avoid such festivities completely.
- Decorations often involve candles in some way as they serve to provide quick and simple communication, but traditional string lights, pumpkins and other items with candles in them are just as common. Plenty of other goofy and scary decorations also line homes and abodes, and during this period of darkness Skireans also create plenty of games to partake in! People will often set up decorations and lights along paths in towns or cities to aid travelers, and these decorations don’t always need to be indoors or on homes.
Part 2 - Unexpected Visitors
Obtain your lantern! Craft, purchase, or discover what lantern you plan to use to help Suteo the Whick!
Suteo, a very exhausted and stressed Whick has appeared! She mentions to those around that she’s enlisting help in collecting some of the wisps that seem to be spawning in the area more than usual. She offers to help teach, create, sell, or find a lantern that matches your desires.
- The lanterns must be clearly lanterns, but can be stylized or decorated in ways that are unique and match your character(s)!
Prompt 3 - Search and Gather
Help gather some stray wisps using a Whick’s lantern!
With a lantern now in hand, get out there and try and gather up as many wisps as you can! Sure it can be scary - but it can also be a lot of fun! Maybe you can challenge Suteo to see who can collect the most wisps…
- Wisps are colorless and white! You’ll want to draw your lantern in some manner here as well. Collecting just needs to be shown tracking a wisp or guiding/capturing a wisp into a lantern in some manner.
Prompt 4- Relax and Celebrate
Job well done! Celebrate the Long Night after having spent so much time hunting down those wisps!
Things seem back to normal - so let’s get to the celebration already! Even Suteo seems more relaxed after everything and is willing to join you in some of the celebrations before returning to her mentor if you wanted to have her around for a bit longer. Otherwise, it's time for the REAL Long Night celebrations to unfold!
- Celebration can be a number of things such as enjoying a feast, watching movies, playing games, partaking in antics while costumed, or just enjoying the comfortable events of the Long Night in a quiet place.

[MYO Sale] Halloween 2023
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by WellHiddenHalloween 2023 MYO Slot Sale
[Form is filled!]
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR
Hello everyone and happy Almost Halloween!! It’s been such a fun month thus far doing the recent events on the new site and adjusting to it all; I hope you guys have been having as much fun as we have! It’s been lovely to see so many precious entries and exciting stories from you all. There’s been so many entries already and we still have another month to go!
But now I bring you to our classic sale time of the year: the Halloween slot sales. >:3c
This year is interesting since we have items to allow standard slots with no clear species until chosen by the person who owns the item! We hope this makes it easier on everyone deciding what they’d like as they have time to try out multiple thoughts across different species and get fun ideas as they go along. I know I’m not free from suddenly changing up a species when I concept something myself KJBDSG I will often start with one and realize I have fun thoughts on how it’d be in a different species.
I’m always very thankful for the excitement towards these slots as it’s a blast to get to see what everyone creates!! It also vastly helps me out with taxes which I’m forever grateful for ;v;
I’m looking forward to the future with getting more options for slots and in general for things as we continue with the new site and all the fun things happening on it.
A link to the form and info about the raffles will all be provided below!!
OH BUT YES Expect some delay on my response times and expect my absence in the later evening!
I’m expecting to be busy the evenings of the 27th and the 28th (Friday and Saturday) so you may see some delay in my responses!
I’ll absolutely be sure to continue to handle communication in the earlier parts of the days though!
I’ll update the very top of this post when slots seem closed!

-
Ownership specific:
-
If you already own at least one of any currently active Skire species (CCCat, Crook, Gravent, or Nautipod) you are considered an Already-Owner and will be entered in the FFA (Free-For-All) slot section. If you do not own any active Skire species currently you will be entered in the Non-Owner section specifically.
-
Only N/O users have their own unique section for slots, once the N/O slots have been filled, if any lingering N/Os claimed earlier than any FFA slots via timestamp, N/Os get pooled into the FFA slots.
-
Once the non-owner specific slot queue has been filled, the timestamps will be used to judge who gets the next slot in the Free-For-All sections if not already filled by the FFA-entry queue. This means a non-owner will automatically be placed into the free-for-all claim section if their timestamp allows them to have claimed before the free-for-all section has been filled.
-
You cannot get a myth and a standard slot within the first 24 hours; it is considered multiple! You can after 24 hours have passed.
-
If for any reason you input something incorrect on the form please let me know in a note when/if I contact you. Please ideally do not add a new submission as I won’t know which one is the correct one and it will be time-stamped differently on the response sheet.
-
You must be able to pay within 24 hours of me confirming you have claimed the slot successfully. (If you do not, we will move down to the next person in the queue)

-
Gifting a slot must be stated before payment is sent or upon claiming. If you wish to keep the gift anonymous/secret to the person you’re gifting it to, please tell me in the note when I ask for your paypal email to invoice.
-
After you create your Skire CS and it has been approved, you have a 2 week cooldown till you can trade/sell the character. Remember to only ever resell for what you bought it for!

There is NO time limit to complete your MYO.
-
You MAY have others help you design your slot.
-
You may also have someone design your slot for you! Please make sure they follow the rules to the slot and species, however!
-
Please: do not post your design publicly until it has been accepted/approved and has gotten its written approval by an admin! In order to get your slot approved you must note the group!!
*If you commission someone to design your slot for you then you may show us proof of the purchased commission and have it added to your character's resale price. -
*Your slot will NOT be approved if it is recognized to be heavily influenced by/duplicating a pre-existing character from either a personal OC or a franchise - additionally hateful themes or imagery against minorities (racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, etc.) will not be tolerated and will not be approved and could risk you being graylisted or banned from the species.
-
If your design is approved and then found to be heavily referencing or duplicating a pre-existing character after it is approved then you may still be asked to change it after the fact. If the design changes hands and is later recognized then the creator will likely be spoken to, but the new owner of the design may not be requested to change the design as they were not the ones responsible for creating it and we don't feel it right to punish/request change from them if they don't/didn't know. This may change case-by-case depending on severity of the issue.
-

You will be given an item that you turn into a MYO slot once you decide your species via "opening" the item with chosen species. Please note that these items are not tradable; if you wish to buy a slot as a gift you will need to let me know in the form!
-
There is no species-specific amount of slots this sale; it'll be 60 slots total with 6 of those being myth slots. 27 standard Non-Owner, 27 standard Free-For-All, 3 myth N/O, and 3 myth FFA.
-
Not technically that new, but I'll be posting the google form on the site, but also on the dA group and discord.
-
The free slot raffle will be held on-site!
-
The species bases will be provided to you to use if you desire - they're optional though so no worries if you don't want to!
KEY:
REMINDERS:
-
You will need to accept the claiming rules, species rules, and rules of the MYO bases. You do so via the google form, and breaking of any of these rules may result in a ban from the species.
-
If you already own at least one of any currently active Skire species (CCCat, Crook, Gravent, or Nautipod) you are considered an Already-Owner and will be entered in the FFA (Free-For-All) slot section. If you do not own any active Skire species currently you will be entered in the Non-Owner section specifically.
-
Only N/O users have their own unique section for slots, once the N/O slots have been filled, if any lingering N/Os claimed earlier than any FFA slots via timestamp, N/Os get pooled into the FFA slots.
-
Once the non-owner specific slot queue has been filled, the timestamps will be used to judge who gets the next slot in the Free-For-All sections if not already filled by the FFA-entry queue. This means a non-owner will automatically be placed into the free-for-all claim section if their timestamp allows them to have claimed before the free-for-all section has been filled.
-
All slots are claimed via First-Come, First-Served and will be selected by timestamp order.
-
You cannot get a myth and a standard slot within the first 24 hours; it is considered multiple! You can after 24 hours have passed.
-
If for any reason you input something incorrect on the form please let me know in a note when/if I contact you. Please ideally do not add a new submission as I won’t know which one is the correct one and it will be time-stamped differently on the response sheet.
-
You must be able to pay within 24 hours of me confirming you have claimed the slot successfully. (If you do not, we will move down to the next person in the queue)
-
Do not claim if you cannot pay within the 24 hours - payment plans are not accepted for these slots.
SLOT RULES:
-
You may NOT sell the slot until it has been given an approved design or has been given requested permission for resale.
-
You may NOT trade the slot until it has been given an approved design.
-
Gifting a slot must be stated before payment is sent or upon claiming. If you wish to keep the gift anonymous/secret to the person you’re gifting it to, please tell me in the note when I ask for your paypal email to invoice.
-
After you create your Skire CS and it has been approved, you have a 2 week cooldown till you can trade/sell the character. Remember to only ever resell for what you bought it for!
-
*Important to remember: Our rules have always allowed you to resell a character for higher than you bought it for if you confirm proof of purchase any commissioned pieces you personally have bought of your character with an admin.
-
There is NO time limit to complete your MYO.
-
You MAY have others help you design your slot.
-
You may also have someone design your slot for you! Please make sure they follow the rules to the slot and species, however!
-
Please: do not post your design publicly until it has been accepted/approved and has gotten its written approval by an admin! In order to get your slot approved you must note the group!!
-
*If you commission someone to design your slot for you then you may show us proof of the purchased commission and have it added to your character's resale price.
-
*Your slot will NOT be approved if it is recognized to be heavily influenced by/duplicating a pre-existing character from either a personal OC or a franchise - additionally hateful themes or imagery against minorities (racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, etc.) will not be tolerated and will not be approved and could risk you being graylisted or banned from the species.
-
If your design is approved and then found to be heavily referencing or duplicating a pre-existing character after it is approved then you may still be asked to change it after the fact. If the design changes hands and is later recognized then the creator will likely be spoken to, but the new owner of the design may not be requested to change the design as they were not the ones responsible for creating it and we don't feel it right to punish/request change from them if they don't/didn't know. This may change case-by-case depending on severity of the issue.

Welcome to Skire.Club!
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Frog🎉Welcome all!🎉
Hello and welcome to the new Skire.Club everyone!! We're so excited to be able to finally show the project that has been the product of so many wonderful people offering their help, assistance, and general knowledge to guide and explore ways to make this site fun and enjoyable!
The transition to a new site is understandably something that may be a little difficult but we're hoping that an abundance of guides made by Frog will help the experience be a bit easier to adjust.
We're hoping that there will be many more updates to come thanks to the new site that will allow further development in many realms as well, and we'll be keeping you guys updated with those likely in our Discord! Otherwise there is a good list of things to expect to see coming next up with the site within this announcement as well as some additional notes for claiming items, any characters we couldn't find ownership for, and more!
If you ever need more help figuring out anything about the site be sure to check out Help > Site Features for general guides from the nav bar. We have some fun themes currently available that you can set via your AccountName > Settings and check out Theme! Be sure to only change the decorator as that will be the primary way to adjust themes yes yes <3 We'll be working on more as time goes on to help with user preference and some general accessibility but the bundle we have right now are some created by Pasta for quick variety! (I love the themes v much)
OH YES If you notice any bugs, missing pages (besides the comingsoon pages), or any errors please be sure to send in a bug report via Help > Report Bug or mention it in #Site-Talk in the Discord! Screenshots will help if you have them as well.
Overall I would like to give my upmost level of gratitude to the people who have helped make this a possibility and to the wonderful community who not only allowed us this downtime to work on this with nothing but support and encouragement, but to have offered your enthusiasm, excitement, and kindness to everyone involved. The amount of people who had extended their experience, knowledge, or general presence to lend hands however could be useful. You guys are such a wonderful community and I am forever thankful for every bit of kindness you have offered me and others as we worked on this and continue to aim for more!! Thank you all so genuinely much for sharing such love and kindness to me and everyone around you. ;_; You have all blown us away with your kind words and support and I can only hope that you guys will have a lot of fun moving forward with this wonderful thing we all worked on and will continue working on!
We appreciate the patience and the absolutely incredible support that you all have given us while the site has been in a bit of a scramble. Please freely make an account! Usernames can be whatever you would like (please no explicit or offensive language!), so long as you are able to log into DeviantArt or Toyhouse to connect an alias. <3

Ownership and claiming inventory
You should be able to claim your ownership of any designs by verifying your Deviantart or Toyhouse. Please go to https://skire.club/user/USERNAMEHERE/aliases to connect one or both aliases! Don't forget to replace your username in the part of the link that says USERNAMEHERE or go directly to your profile settings > aliases !
If you can claim ownership BY linking aliases, you do NOT need to submit an ownership claim.
If you notice a design or MYO slot under ownership of the Admin account that should belong to you, please submit a claim! This means we could not find and verify an account for you on DeviantArt or Toyhouse.
Step 01
Detail what you are claiming using the form below, and please open the spoiler boxes if you are claiming Characters and Inventories!
Copy the form below and paste it into your claim:
◉ Old Skire.Club Username:
◉ Discord or best contact information (In case we need further verification of an identity)
◉ Characters you are claiming: (Please list this even if you attach it so we can make sure you've added the correct character to your claim)
◉ Items you are claiming: (Please list this even if you attach it so we can make sure you've added the correct item to your claim)
◉ Links to proof of ownership: (Please detail what link is for what character if multiple)
Please Submit a claim to the admin team.
In the URL section, include: A link to your ownership proof for each character you attach. This can be a link to your Toyhouse, a link to a screenshot showing you sharing the character, or logging into a website with a name associated to your skire.club username.
In the Characters section: Grab the Character Code (Example: OFFICIAL-NAUTIPOD-012 ) and paste it into the section that requests character code.
Claiming Inventories
Please Submit a claim to the admin team. This can be done in the same claim as a design ownership claim.
Please attach the items you believe you had! We have the information to corroborate this and add the type of item you had, and how many of that item you had! If you can't remember, that's okay, and just let us know your old Skire.Club username.
