Further Lore About SkekEz The Poet

He wears a monocle framed in gold and won’t go anywhere without it. Rumor has it that he is slowly becoming blind in one eye.

SkekTek once bombarded him with a syringe claiming he needed “medicine”. Now he goes out of his way to declare how ‘non-sick’ he is whenever the scientist shows up.

He’s quite the glutton. While other Skeksis are having second helpings, he’s having his fifth.

SkekEz loves messing with SkekEkt the Ornamentalist, purposely freaking him out with eerie ghost stories. Once SkekEkt got so spooked he shrieked at the sight of his own reflection. SkekEz conveniently published a poem about an evil spirit dwelling in a mirror the following day.

SkekUng despises SkekEz, often comparing him to SkekSil. The chamberlain is somehow both flattered and offended by this.

SkekEz often does incredibly strange and stupid things to achieve “inspiration” for his writing. Once such incident involved him going AWOL for several days. Nobody in the castle could find him and the Skeksis all began freaking out, with some worrying that he had kicked the bucket. Eventually, however, they found him hiding in a secret passage behind the pantry, hungry and slightly delirious. He wanted “to capture the spirit of what it means to be a lone Arathim”.

Help, I got pulled into dark crystal by two certain people. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE SKEKLA AND @devilbinx) *Cough* Anyways. Meet Skeksyn or "the Monarch".

He will appear only in the movie. After the Emperor died, SkekTek took a bit of his ashes in the hope to cheat Thra and death itself. He tried to find a way to be reborn again by an untested cloning technique. The experiment went well and soon out of the ashes and young Skeksis emerged. The doctor soon realized that he did not look like SkekSo or even remember anything, which means he created a new Skeksis out of the ashes.

SkekTek proclaimed that this experiment was futile and wanted to destroy the youngling. But SkekZok believed that this was the emperor in some way and refused to let the scientist kill him.

SkekTek couldn't refuse the Ritual-master and gave the newborn the name SkekSyn (Skeksis +Synthetic). Pleased with the name, the Ritual-Master gave SkekSyn the title "Monarch".

He immediately replaced SkekSo's place as the ruler, which SkekSil and SkekUng immediately displeases. Another issue is that SkekSyn has no counterpart, meaning that he has both sides. Good and evil.

It will cause conflict under the Skeksis, but also they cannot do anything, because he is under the protection of SkekZok.

What a mess! He is also only the size of a Gelfling.

I also need to headcanon that Jen takes WAY longer to get to the place. Because in the original movie he popped up within 24 hours after SkekSo's death in that place.

(Please bonk me if I did something wrong, I am new to this fandom! TELL MEEE)

Hope you like it <3

skekUng the Scientist!

The scientist is in charge of keeping the others healthy and in shape but as the years went by both these things became more challenging. Angered by their laziness and their thankless relying on him the scientist came up with a plan.

While taking care of the emperor and his court he would keep the best things for himself. In secret he experimented on his own body with as goal to become the strongest and eventually usurp the throne.

After the invention of the essence he decided to keep all vials on his body at all times to prevent stealing or accidents from happening.

While very social and loud the scientist cannot let the others know of his secret plan, other than the few he trusts to support him, and thus he started to work mostly naked, to keep the others away.

This is the thrilling season 2 content that Netflix denied us... it was funnier in my head. -_-'

Happy 2nd year anniversary of AoR everyone. :) For Thra! But really though, this would be very in character for Hup amirite? What I wouldn't give to see him throw fruit in SkekUng's face for real! I don't own the audio or even the scene staging. This comedic genius is all done by "Babar: The Movie." Original clip here! The only thing I own are the crude drawings. ^^'

Since I heard many theories saying UngIm was the Physician (hence how he resurrected Kira), and that's why UrIm is the Healer, imagine if before being a military, the same way SkekVar was at first the Ambassador (HOW), maybe SkekUng was something having to do with medecine too, like the Surgeon or something

Imagine if he HAS all the medecibe knowledge UngIm had but just doesn't like using it nowadays because it's less fun than killing and maiming

And back when he was a medic he didn't like using anesthesia ("STOP SQUIRMING, YOU PUSSY, IT'S ALMOST OVER") or had 0 tact about amputations ("IT'S NOT LIKE YOU USED YOUR LEFT HAND A LOT ANYWAY") or was not soothing at all to the sick ones (pours his healing tea down their throat "HEAL DAMMIT")

And maybe even now that he is a general he can still have sort of medic reflexes such as if a Skeksis pretends to be sick not to go to war he will jump in front of them "HAH ! YOU COWARD HAVE NO SYMPTOM !"

And maybe if one day he is deeply wounded and brought to SkekTek who is about to perform a type of surgery on him, SkekUng becomes threatening because he thinks another kind would be more suitable "MY ARTERIS ARE ALREADY BLEEDING LIKE HELL ! IF YOU DARE MAKING ME BLEED MORE WHILE IT CAN ACTUALLY BE AVOIDED, I WILL MAKE SURE TO DO THE SAME TO YOU !"

And maybe now he is a military he pretends science and shit are for nerds and looks down and makes fun of SkekTek for that but one day while he is bored by all his science talk, he suddenly overhears him forgetting about a type of surgery and he instinctively points a finger at him "THERE IS ALSO VITRECTOMY IF YOU CAN'T DO A PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY YOU IDIOT IF IT'S TO REMAIN SO LIMITED IN YOUR ACTIONS YOU SHOULD JUST STICK TO MACHINES-" then he realizes he sounded like a nerd in front of everyone and gets crankier

Random assortment of Skeksis headcanons I had scattered in my drafts/notes I wanted to share:

SkekVar never took off his head gear which led to baldness. He tried to keep it a secret, but after he kept requesting his Gelfling guards fetch him hair remedies the word got out and the Skeksis openly mocked him about it. The General profusely denies this and threatens he'll beat anyone up if they keep going on about it.

SkekMal was always knowledgeable about hunting, but failed miserably as a hunter when he was freshly divided because he couldn't coordinate his new body well.

Same can be said for the other Skeksis. They weren't fully accustomed to their new bodies which brought out a lot of frustration and violence. They were also just as clumsy as their Urru counterparts.

SkekLi is near-sighted but refuses to wear glasses because, in his own words, makes him look like a nerd. He constantly squints in order to see faraway objects clearly.

SkekVar and skekUng were on-and-off-again friends. They get chummy at one point but then the next they're fighting each other. SkekUng usually instigates a lot of these fights because he has always eyed skekVar's position in power and believes he'd make a better general. Their friendship was usually rebuilt once they talked about how much they hate the Chamberlain's guts.

He wasn't that sad hearing about skekVar's death, but he started getting suspicious when he heard skekSil was there. Whenever the Chamberlain mentions about skekVar in conversation, skekUng gets defensive over the former General.

SkekLi needs a walking cane to get due to a leg injury that didn't heal properly. The cane is detachable and can be used as a rod which skekLi uses in performances.

Sidetic was a domesticated animal brought in by Gelfling for skekTek's experiments, possibly done to meet a quota. However the Scientist found himself suddenly attached to it when it showed him affection.

Sometimes when the Scientist is not dealing with gruesome experiments, Sidetic sits on top of skekTek's shoulder.

Although he refers to him as Sidetic, skekTek sometimes nicknames it "Meatball". He nicknamed it that because he was hungry one time.

The top of skekLi's cane is a head bust of himself. When skekLi asked skekEkt to make it for him, the Ornamentalist gave him a look and remarked "even the Emperor isn't that self-absorbed".

Much like how the Sifa use skekSa's likeness for good luck at sea, skekLi's is also used for good luck but during performances.

SkekMal's first trophy was his oldest bone mask. When he was kicked out of the Castle for his wild behavior, he was forced to wear Skeksis facial armor as to not jeopardize their alliance with the Gelfling. But since it was very reflective, skekMal had trouble catching prey. Eventually he managed to hunt down a couple of creatures to try on their skulls to see which would nicely fit him.

Although relatively attached to his trophies, skekMal will eventually discard them if he doesn't have room or it becomes broken beyond repair. He views this as him already absorbing the strength of the creature and no longer needing it. But he will quickly fill that empty space with another he finds worthy to put on his person.

However if anything happened to a new trophy he was still attached to he will go absolutely ballistic and take it out on any living thing he sees.

SkekMal has gone through several bone masks, one of which was an ancient forest "god" he killed to assert dominance as the apex predator of the Endless Forest.

SkekShod mostly lives outside of the Castle in his own private estate where he "works" (which is most of the time is just being lazy or hyperfixates on organizing random thing of the day), located within one of the Spriton villages. He dreaded going to the Castle when summoned and even moreso when he had to flee his estate to stay there permanently when the Gelfling Rebellion happened.

When they were younger, skekAyuk and skekEkt would skip work to sneak out of the Castle and roam the fields to go on romantic dates. They got in trouble, but it was worth it every time they did.

SkekLach always had allergies but she was able to tolerate them when she was younger because the symptoms were minor. Over time with her personal hygiene declining, they got worse.

SkekSa's alcoholism gradually got worse over time to the point she requested skekEkt to make a jug holder belt. A lot of her pirate escapades has her usually tipsy or drunk.

Even so, skekSa has the best alcohol tolerance out of all the Skeksis. She's beaten every Skeksis who challenged her to a drinking contest.

When he was younger, skekMal had no rules against who he hunted so he went after Gelfling and Podlings. This phased out when he established a code of honor and left them mostly alone. However, he cheated his code when he got older, sometimes having trouble taking down prey due to his old age. Sometimes he would begrudingly hunt weaker prey, including Gelfling or Podlings, if he had plenty of unsuccessful hunting attempts and he couldn't ignore the hunger anymore.

He will also ignore his code if anything got in the way of his hunts. This is what essentially happened to Kylan's parents: they were killed when they ended up in the cross-pathes between him and the creature he was after.

Do I Trust You Based on Your Favorite Skeksis/Assumptions I have about You

Skeksil/The Chamberlain

answer: NO

look i love the chamberlain just as much as anyone, literally my favorite villain since i was a toddler. but if he’s your favorite, i just know you would gaslight me with no remorse, and you probably smell like stale chips. however, i feel like you would be very fun to hang out with on the weekends, and have an amazing sense of humor.

Skekso/The Emporer

answer: maybe

i feel like you either appreciate his character, or you think he’s the sexiest character to ever he created. if you’re both, i admire you deeply. if you are all three or even just one, you’re on thin ice. you might also have a thing for horror movies, and you also probably like villains more than the heroes. good for you !!

Skekvar/The General

answer: yes

you have amazing taste, and are severely under appreciated. you know when a character had/has potential, and you think he deserves better. you also like characters that are just, in general, the definition of ‘no thoughts, only fighting’. i feel like you were kinda rude to others when you were younger, and you might have had/have braces. overall, you have amazing taste !!

SkekMal/The Hunter

answer: you are on very thin ice.

you are either a monsterfucker, or you love feral/angry characters. you might have also had a voltron phase, or loved he-man growing up. i feel like you also really like urVah, and wish skekmal had more screen time. you say he’s “severely underrated” but you know that he’s actually not. you probably like spicy food and i respect you as a person

SkekGrah/The Heretic

answer: YES YES

you are perfect. there is not a single thing wrong with you. however, if you only reduce him down to his relationship with urGoh, you’re veering into sketchy territory. overall, i think you’re probably really chill, and you give off the vibe that you might wear a lot of jewelry. i think you’re super cool !!

skekZok/The Ritual Master

answer: no

i’m so sorry, i desperately want to say yes but i can’t in good conscience. i love him too, but my mans was too strange in the volunteer picking scene. overall, you have religious trauma, i can smell it on you. but, i think you probably smell really nice. i would love to hear some of ur thoughts on him, because if he’s your favorite, you’re bound to have written down so much about him

skekTek/The Scientist

answer: yes

you have impeccable taste. you love a multidimensional character, and he is amazing to analyze. you definitely went through a long phase in your childhood that still haunts you. you’re probably like “i just think he’s neat” but he’s more than “just neat” to you, you’re probably borderline in love with this little dude. overall, you’re probably really cool

skekOk/The Scrollkeeper

answer: maybe

if you like him for his relationships with other characters, you’re super chill. but if you’re one of these people that think him and Brea should have gotten together, i don’t trust you. sorry :/ overall, you’re probably really cool, and i think you may or may not have had a mythology phase growing up, or you spend a lot of time researching things you like!! you probably spend a lot of time doing the things you like, and thats admirable. keep going what you’re doin

skekLach/The Collector

answer: yes

you’re probably super cool, and you don’t take shit from other people. you have your opinions, and you’re not gonna let anyone bash your thoughts. you wish they had more screen time and regret that other people don’t like them more because of their design. you seem like you did a sport growing up, and enjoyed it a lot. i think you also know when a character is ACTUALLY underrated, and that’s a great trait

skekEkt/The Ornamentalist

reason: YES

you’re funny, like genuinely funny. i would love to spend time with you, and i think you’re super interesting. you love a flamboyant character, and that’s very respectable. i feel like you did either super good or super bad in art class growing up, and you may or may not have an attention span issue. you understand that skekEkt isn’t just there for humor, and that he’s done genuinely frightening things, and is worthy of the villain role he plays in the series.

skekAyuk/The Gourmand

answer: yes, but with some limits

if you have looked at fetish art of him at ANY time in your life, you are not to be trusted. please take an exit at stage right, and never come back. if you haven’t, please feel free to stay. you probably really appreciate the humor he brings into the series, and don’t like how people reduce him to comedy relief because of his weight/facial features. you probably had a pet you really loved growing up, and you seem super fun !!

skekUng/The Garthim Master

answer: no

i’m sorry, he’s so cool, but please WHERE IS THE FLAVOR !!! i wish there was a season 2 of aor so we could have learned more about him. i think you’re probably kind of scary, and you may have been edgy in middle school. however, you love good character design, and that’s respectable.

skekSa/The Mariner

answer: yes

you are a lesbian. that’s the facts. or you really wanted to see her absolutely THROTTLE the chamberlain in season 2, and got really upset at the cancellation. overall, you’re super interesting, and you know a lot of random information. i also think you have impeccable fashion sense. have a nice life please

skekShod/The Treasurer

answer: no

do you actually exist?? i have never heard anyone say “my favorite character is skekshod” like do you genuinely exist. jk, u guys are pretty chill, and i get the hype tbh. i feel like you like gummy candy or you just generally like sweeter foods. you also may have bitten kids while you were younger.

skekNa/The Slave Master

reason; absolutely not

he’s named “the slave master” why is he your favorite. like genuinely, he has no discernible personality traits besides “ i did bad stuff and got punished for it, sorry bae” but i think you definitely acted up as kid, and you get purple popsicles and eat blue raspberry candies a lot

skekLi/The Satirist

reason: yes

i respect you, but do you actually exist?? like genuinely. all we know about him is that this mf was so annoying they sent him away. i admire you though, when you like a character, YOU LIKE THE CHARACTER. you like fruity scented things a little more than others do

Some UrSkek thoughts/ideas, cut cuz it's long

skekOk the Scrollkeeper + urAk the Scribe = OkAk the Historian

These roles are quite similar; people who write and record things. Thus, this one was easy for me. OkAk would be the one who recorded and knew all of UrSkek history, and would likely have a large library.

skekAyuk the Gourmand + urAmaj the Cook = AyukAmaj the Chef

These roles go hand-in-hand, one who eats and one who cooks. Thus, I went with the logical mix; a Chef, one who improves and creates new dishes. They would obviously be the chef of the UrSkeks, providing meals for the others.

skekGra the Conqueror/Heretic + urGoh the Wanderer = GraGoh the Explorer

While I was tempted to make GraGoh an artist due to their shared interests during AoR, I went with their official titles, both known for traveling. I think GraGoh would be the type to be constantly finding new places, meeting new creatures, and relaying the things they learn to the other UrSkeks.

skekHak the ??? + urHom the Carpenter = HakHom the ???

Unfortunately, we don't know what skekHak's role was. Thus, I can't combine their roles as I did with the others. For them, I speculate that skekHak would have ended up being some sort of craftsman or builder, and it would have extended to HakHom.

skekUng the General/Garthim Master/Emperor + urIm the Healer = UngIm the Leader

After the deaths of skekSo and urSu, skekUng took over as Emperor of the Skeksis. I'm not sure what their role would have been before this, as I can't find any real comparison between them. Maybe a Medic? Like, a battle medic.

skekLi the Satirist + urLii the Storyteller = LiLii the Entertainer

Though we've never seen them, these two were also easy for me. In my mind, Lilii was the one who would come up with humor and stories to entertain the other UrSkeks, based on the halves' titles.

skekVar the General + urMa the Peacemaker = VarMa the Strategist

In the case that the UrSkeks would ever have to fight, it would come down to VarMa to figure out what to do. They're a master negotiator, but also skilled in battle when need be. All in all, they would be the one to figure out how to best face a conflict.

skekNa the Slave Master + urNol the Herbalist = NaNol the ???

Honestly, I have no idea what to do with these two. Their roles seem completely unrelated to me. If y'all can come up with something for them, let me know, I'd be excited to see.

skekSa the Mariner + urSan the Swimmer = SaSan the Sailor

Similarly to GraGoh, SaSan would be a constant traveler, the only difference being that they focused on the sea.

skekLach the Collector + urSen the Monk = LachSen the ???

These two seem like complete opposites. Honestly, I'm not sure what to do with them. Maybe something to do with sorting or rating.

skekSil the Chamberlain + urSol the Chanter = SilSol the ???

While I can't quite figure out exactly what I'd want their role to be, with their titles being so different, but I know that they were likely an assistant to whoever bore the title of Leader. Perhaps something to do with speaking, due to skekSil's tendency to mess with people through words.

skekSo the Emporer + urSu the Master = SoSu the Leader.

They were the original leader of the UrSkeks, before the role was passed to UngIm with their death.

skekTek the Scientist + urTih the Alchemist = TekTih the Researcher

They spend all of their time trying to learn new things, trying to find information about the world around them. Unlike GraGoh and SaSol, however, they don't travel, instead researching through books and experimentation.

skekEkt the Ornamentalist + urUtt the Weaver = EktUtt the Tailor

EktUtt was likely the one who provided clothing for all of the UrSkeks, and in my mind, were the most materialistic UrSkek. They like high-quality clothing that tells a story and expresses the wearer.

skekMal the Hunter and urVa the Archer = MalVa the Warrior

MalVa was likely one of the physically strongest UrSkeks, fighting/killing for food and to protect the others when needed. They likely worked closely with ValMa, both dealing with battle more than the other UrSkeks.

skekYi the ??? + urYa the ??? = YiYa the ???

Legit have no info on either of them. No idea what they could've done.

skekShod the Treasurer + urYod the Numerologist = ShodYod the Mathematician

They're a master of math, with their accounting skills moving to skekShod. If UrSkeks had a system of currency, they totally were the one who handled it.

skekZok the Ritual Master + urZah the Ritual Guardian = ZokZah the High Priest

Their titles are near exactly the same, so I treated that as ZokZah being extremely ritualistic and focusing on tradition, moreso than any other UrSkek.
