MEET YOUR BOSSES
The chief boss of Sky World is CLOUDCLOPS, a large, one-eyed cloud who formed in Sky World’s atmosphere at an indeterminate point in the past. Though barely capable of speech, his sheer size and pugilistic nature made his ascent a hasty one. Attacks include LIGHTNING ARC and the spawning of CLOUDKID minions. His fatal weak point is embedded in his chest, but it is believed he also has a deep aversion to meteorologists; out of spite, he tends to appear in places they predict he will not be.
Laboring directly under him is the mighty Mini-Boss called MANFAN, a fan-themed master robot who monitors those concerns that evade Cloudclops’ pre-K intellect. He also makes for an able combatant, and is known to BLOW PEOPLE off of ledges at the first sign of trouble with his high-speed gust attacks. Manfan asked that we mention here that a team of brilliant scientists gave him his dumb name; also, that he totally prefers the company of robot women.
The venerable COLONEL NIMBUS serves as a secondary Mini-Boss. A high-strung Para-Foblin, he commands his own battalion of flying enemies, known colloquially as the PARA-MILITARY. Can frequently be found putting his troops through rigorous military exercises, such as making them do BARREL ROLLS over and over. Despite his name, Nimbus has no military record; however, his conviction to the contrary was striking enough to merit a promotion to command.
SECRET AREAS
Your typical elevator in a Sky World high rise won’t acknowledge any floor under 50 or so, but if you’re willing to “hoof it” down to the surface, there are plenty of cozy finds that you can make part of your SKY-SPERIENCE (Sky World experience).
Take THE UNDERCLOUD CASINO – during the Protobition era, this was a dazzling showcase of glitz and glamour, replete with neon signs, towering slot machines, and pinball flippers large enough to slap around a grown man. A favorite haunt of the BUG MAFIA, it was shut down over a decade ago by the IMPERIAL POLICE, and has since become a crumbling, lawless ruin, as well as an Imperially sanctioned HISTORIC SITE.
There are countless abandoned strip mines and factories on the surface, glowing white-hot with irradiated waste, crawling with worn, corrugated worker robots that have long outlived their purpose, clambering aimlessly in search of answers that don’t exist.
All in all, Sky World has a rich cultural heritage that’s tough to beat!
