welcome to the skyrates page.

so what is skyrates, anyway?

skyrates is based on the (now defunct) lunch club podcast episdode from the beginning of 2020 titled "Our Apocalypse Plans" (don't listen to it, it's not important). following this episode, an internet user known as "WreakingHavok" created a universe based around the idea of sky pirate ships, sky colonies, and ground colonies. this universe was then adapted into a group oc au that has taken on its own form.

at its purest form, skyrates is your classic superpower alternate universe. one part of the population has superpowers (Powered), and one group does not (Humans). Humans tend to live in small villages on the surface of a now-desolate Earth. Powereds (and some humans) tend to live in massive sky colonies (they literally float in the sky) powered by various means of energy.

while most colonies and villages tend to be self-governed, a government collective looms over the planet, already working out of caves and bunkers in north america. their goals are unknown, but, as most corrupt organizations tend to be, we can assume they don't have the best interests of Powereds or Humanity at heart.

our story focuses on the pomona. a ship who's crew is made up of mostly attempted reformed criminals and vagabonds, the pomona is a classic case of found family, picking up whoever they can, fighting for what they believe is right. problem is, they've attracted the attention of other, more dangerous criminals.

who is on the pomona?

Great success!

what's an entity?

Yeah!
