CREATION ERA

Their name was Naseem. At least that's what Arceus told them when they opened their eyes. Naseem was born from Icicle's coldness from Splash's rain and Zonhiym [Flying Type Primal]. Being Zonhiym's champion, Naseem was the Sky Plate. What was their purpose? They would be the one to take what Splash and Icicle had to offer and combined into something useful in the growth of the world: the weather. Naseem was a quirky plate when compared to their setmates (Pixie and Stone). They took each aspect of what it meant to be a bird and turned that up to 200%. They are known to be pretty chatty as they enjoy tweeting a song, talking, or even mimicking sounds they hear often. They would pluck their feathers out and flaps their wings as a way of communicating a problem. They were the very definition of what it meant to be a bird.

When it came to Naseem's relationship with the plates, the plates were genuinely friendly towards them with exception of Draco. They bump heads with Draco often as the two can be of two opposing spectrums. Weirdly, the plates almost considered Naseem the 'pet' of the plates. It was something that Naseem wasn't bothered by since it wasn't like they mistreated him. Naseem is close to their setmates and never has any problems with them. Naseem's favorite pastime is singing with Pixie and sleeping with Stone. Naseem considers their setmates a member of their flock and always willing to listen to them. In their eyes, Pixie and Stone are more experienced when it comes to certain aspects, and they feel they shouldn't honestly question them on it. Then again, they always have a singular goal of surviving. From what they learned, the best way they can survive is if they listen to Arceus and follow what he commands them to do.

One of the things Arceus commanded them to do is raise Lugia. Such a task wouldn't fall on a plate, but this was a time Arceus and Mew were busy with establishing order in the world. The time Arceus and Mew had to raise legends was limited. Naseem wasn't bothered by this. They were thrilled they were able to raise such a beautiful child. Naseem always inspired to have children. They continued the cycle of life and made them smile. For months, Naseem spent their time, teaching Lugia everything he could teach her. Despite how quirky as they were, they were intelligent and knew things that some plates didn't know. Their only issue was that they could be a bit forgetful despite their formidable vocabulary. It was something that Lugia would often joke about when the plate would forget her name. Raising Lugia gave Naseem another purpose in life.

Even as Lugia grew up, she maintained a strong bond with Naseem. It was something akin to a parent-daughter relationship. Naseem was the one that taught her how to soar and control her weather bending abilities. Hell, they taught her what the world has to offer through their daily flights. It was no surprise that Lugia would be the first legend that Naseem would bind themselves to. She was the special chick they were willing to protect at all costs. Her mere presence inspired Naseem to desire to see the cycle of life continue to grow. This is a fact that would be proven true during Lugia's first encounter with humans.

At some point, Lugia encountered a group of humans for the first time in her life. Arceus always told the legends to stay away from them. Humans were jittery creatures that often act before thinking and don't understand the legends are their gods. It was a fact that was proven by them killing one of Meadow's incarnation. However, the female was too curious. She never had a chance to study these strange beings, and she didn't believe they would be stupid to attack her. By the misfortune, the humans did attack her. Even as a legend, Lugia was overwhelmed by this. She was young, and she wasn't sure what the humans were capable of. She tried her best to fight them off but failed. The humans would have honestly killed her if Naseem hasn't arrived to save her.

Naseem had felt Lugia's distress and was quick to fly to the female's aid. Seeing the female hurting, Naseem was quick to fight them off. Despite the rage they felt, Naseem didn't kill them. As much as they wanted to, they didn't want the blood of someone they killed on their wings. They didn't want to be stained with the title of a murderer. Eventually, the battle ended with Naseem winning. It was expected. The humans were going against something much older than them who knew what the hell they were doing. However, just as Naseem went to comfort Lugia and get her away from the area, something happened that they weren't honestly expecting this.

A human managed to impale Naseem.

It wouldn't haven't been so painful if Naseem defenses weren't so low. Even with the pain they felt, Naseem couldn't scream. They tried, but nothing came out. Not that it mattered. Lugia did the screaming for them. She screamed her heart out as Naseem found all of their senses diminishing. Their taste was the first to go followed by their smell. They didn't notice those two go away with how rarely they use them. Their touch was the next to go. When they hit the ground, they didn't feel it. Hell, they couldn't honestly feel anything. What followed next was the hearing. The screams of Lugia progressively vanished despite seeing her mouth moved in a cry of heartache. They didn't even hear the screams of the humans as Lugia tore them apart with her psychic. Finally, their sight was the last thing to go. Darkness slowly consumed their vision as the last thing they could see is the face of Lugia. Her small hands had grabbed them and cradled their form. Despite feeling himself die, the only thing Naseem could think about is the safety of Lugia.

With one last breath, Naseem's essence left them so their replacement could take over.

His name was Salem. At least that's the name Lugia gave him. He could recall that his old self was the one who helped raise Lugia and knew it was his mission to continue that for them. However, other than that, his other memories as Naseem was gone. Well, not every memory of his was gone. He knew who Arceus was. He knew about the legends. He knew his purpose and the plates. It was just those memories of Naseem that didn't involve Lugia that he couldn't recall.

In honesty, it bothered him.

He felt like he was taking someone else's life. Someone that Lugia prefers based on the way she distances himself from him. Whoever that person was someone that could potentially be better than him. This leads to the male being insecure and self-conscious about his ability to do his job. This only got progressively worse as Draco constantly calls the male 'useless' daily. Salem eventually lost faith in himself and believed that he would never achieve anything in life. This would continue over the years until the male lashed out at Draco after dealing with the male's taunts for so long. This lead to the two getting into an argument with Draco citing how he was tired of Salem being so mopey all the time and Salem going on about why he felt the way he did. Eventually, the argument ended with Draco calling the male a "failure of the plate that didn't deserve to exist".

Whether Draco meant that or not didn't matter to Salem. Frustration got the better of the male, and Salem attacked Draco. The battle itself was messy and didn't end in Salem's favor. How so? Draco managed to defeat him with a Judgement. Well, if we're counting killing as defeat. Draco didn't mean it as the male backed off the second he did that. He was shocked, considering Draco wasn't usually the one to regret things. Despite this, Salem wasn't upset. He should be, but the male managed to harm Draco to the point the other plate had to kill him. He was more than useless. He was considered a threat. It was a shame no one saw it, but that didn't bother him. His new self was probably not going to remember this, but that didn't bother him.

With a laugh, the male fell deep into darkness as his new self was reborn from his essence.

His name is Skye. At least that's what Draco called him. Unfortunately for Draco, he still maintains his memories as Salem. However, Skye isn't a bitter man. He should be since he did get murdered by Draco. However, Skye didn't let that bitterness take over him. It was too troublesome to deal with the emotion. As such, he made a deal with Draco that he would never bring up what happen if Draco avoids hurting anyone he cares about. After all, they were the only ones who witness this fight, and Skye was positive Draco did not want Arceus to hear about this. Skye was aware he could have made Draco his little servant, but he didn't care. He was satisfied with the knowledge of knowing that Draco was going to be a bit more nicer to him if he wanted Skye to keep his little secret.

POA ERA-PRE ROTOM ERA

Skye and Draco used Skye old's self encountering a Pokemon and getting killed by them as their little excuse as to how Skye came to be. It was a lie that Skye knew that Arceus and Mew didn't believe, but they never questioned it. They didn't want to cause a stir with everything going on at the time. Regardless, Skye spent his years, focusing on whatever task Arceus gave him while focusing on strengthening his abilities. He did progressively focus his attention on building back his relationship with Lugia. He had realized the female had been distancing himself due to the female blaming herself for causing his first incarnation's death. When the POA ERA came, and Damian started his adventure with a group of misfits to save the world, Skye was able to repair it further after the group defeated the female when she was controlled by the sins. It please Skye the most.

He did develop a bond for Toxic. Both were considered outcasts in the group. For Skye, he wasn't the most used plates. It was not because he's weak. It was because there are plates that are better than him in certain things (a fact that would change during the ROTOM/OUR STORY ERA). For Toxic, due to his habits and stench, using the male was proven to be a hassle to use. They would spend their time going over how they get better and how they can stand out from the plates. Their bond is one that started as a friendship. However, it was clear Toxic develop feelings for the male. It wasn't exactly well hidden either to the point Skye noticed. However, he didn't have feelings for the male. The male wasn't interested in being in a relationship at all. However, he didn't want to hurt the male feelings, so he didn't say if he liked him or not. He just focused on maintaining their friendship. Hell, maybe something would change to make him in fall in love with him.

Ironically something did.

In terms of other things that happened during this POA ERA to the PRE ROTOM ERA, Damian's fall occurred after the male was hit with Naoto's move and sent flying off a cliff. Falling into a coma, Damian was teleported away from Mi to an unknown location. However, the plates themselves were panicking as the damage done to Damian's body was severe enough that he was lying close to death's door. While he did have the benefit of reincarnation (thanks to his guardian status), the plates didn't know what would happen to them when Damian died. There was also the concern that Yveltal wouldn't be fast enough to save him. For that reasoning, they decided to fuse with Damian. While this did mean Arceus would no longer be able to use them as they were stuck with Damian, they didn't have any other options or the time needed to reflect on them. Giving a silent apology to their Creator for what they were going to do, these elemental spirits fused themselves into Damian, becoming one with the male.

ROTOM ERA-OUR STORY ERA (Now)

During the months Damian was in a coma, Skye grew closer to Toxic (or Toxi/Ick at this point) and started to fall in love with the male. He wasn't sure what specifically made him fall for the two. They both had contrasting personalities that could drive someone insane. They liked different things, and you wouldn't think they think they would be Skye's type. Yet, here we are. The plates got closer before the two (three?) just ended up together. There was no dramatic confession that occurred or some heartfelt moment that leads to the two confessing their feelings. It just happened. One day, the two (three?) showed up, holding hands and the plates accepted this was a thing.

When the "War of Providence" ended, Skye and Tox/Ick spent time bonding over the years. They would eventually have a son who Skye cherish very deeply. Since then, Skye has become a well-respected member of the Impar's Plates with the growth of his power and whatnot. Compared to his previous incarnation, he's honestly happy where he's at now. He has a family, he's being viewed as being useful, and his relationship with Lugia is strong.

He honestly got nothing to really complain about.
