AS A COMMUNITY, WE WILL CREATE THE SKYGAZERS UNIVERSE.
Skygazers is an experiment of scifi-fantasy world-building through collaboration. The goal is to create and maintain a fictional narrative as a community using web3-technology.
The base components of the universe are the main characters (Monk, Warrior-Princess, Scientist, Droid) the locations, and the situations.
Out of these components, a collection of adventures and lore will be created by a self-governing community. The sum of all of this will be the world we know as Skygazers.
adventures ARE WRITTEN
BY THE NARRATORS.
Filled to the brim with inspiration, the narrator distils the best of his story-telling ideas into a breathtaking adventure.
As a narrator...
- you own a Skygazers NFT, depicting a character, on a world in a certain situation.
- you are inspired by the combination of these elements: a story takes shape in your head.
- you use the Skygazers-dapp to write out this story next to your NFT.
- you submit the story to the community, so they can vote on accepting your story to the collection of adventures.
- you see your story accepted, and is now readable for everyone on the Skygazers-website.

FAQ about narratorship
What is a Narrator?
In the context Skygazers, a Narrator is someone who owns an Skygazers-NFT and actively spends time telling its story.
How do I become a Narrator?
Aqcuire a Skygazers-NFT through the Skygazer-Dapp or via a secondary market, and write out the story that you feel belongs to this NFT. If you want your story to be part of the collection, submit it as an Adventure. In our eyes, you become a Narrator the moment you type your first letter.
What is the collection of Adventures and how can I get my story accepted?
The collection of Adventures is the collection of stories that are officially part of the Skygazers-universe. This collection is curated by the Skygazers-DAO. If a story is submitted, the Skygazers-DAO votes on it being accepted or rejected to the collection. If the story is accepted, we call it an Adventure, and is therefore now officially part of the Skygazers-universe.
Why would I want my story in the collection of Adventure?
The collection of Adventures is open to the public, everyone can read the Adventures as part of the Skygazers experience. Also, creating a Derived Product by the Skygazers-DAO can only happen based on official Adventures that belong to the collection. So in other words: if a member of the Skygazers-DAO wants to create a comic of your story, and request funds to do so from the Skygazers-DAO, your story has to be an Adventure, belonging to the collection.
What if I buy an NFT that already has a story or Adventure attached to it?
The owner of the NFT is also the absolute owner of the story or Adventure. This means that if you buy an NFT that already has a story or Adventure attached to it, that you can decide what to do with it. You can erase it and start from scratch, you can edit it a bit or give it a new plot twist... it's all up to you!
lore is managed by lorists.
Burdened with the heavy duty of weaving a web of facts around our fiction, the lorist ties everything together.
As a lorist...
- you own a Skygazer NFT, which makes you a member of the Skygazers-DAO.
- you are fascinated by the totality of the Skygazers universe: background stories, names, characteristics, etc.
- you actively vote on proposals about the lore.
- you may create a proposal to edit a piece of lore or add one.

FAQ about lorism
What is a Lorist?
In the context Skygazers, a Lorist is someone who actively contributes to the Skygazers Lore by submitting Lore Changes.
What is a Lore Change?
A Lore Change is an edit made to the lore document. Both editing an existing piece of adding a new one can be Lore Changes. For your change to be accepted to the official Skygazers Lore, you will have to submit it to the Skygazers-DAO so they can vote on it.
What are the subjects and topics of the Skygazers Lore?
In theory, anything can be a subject or a topic in the Skygazers Lore. However, it will be more likely that your Lore Change is accepted is your writing is in line with the other existing Lore.
We can grow a self-governing community around our shared concepts using blockchain-technology.
If every role in the Skygazers universe plays its part, the mechanics should result into generating value.
This is how it all ties together.
The NARRATORS write their stories next to their NFT and submit it to be accepted the the collection of adventures. The DAO votes on it.
The DAO votes both on the stories becoming adventures, and on lore changes, to be a part of the Skygazers universe. Anyone in the DAO can create lore changes.
The collection of adventure and the lore is open to the public. So are the workings of the community btw, since it all runs on blockchain technology.
And this is how it can return value
to those who produce it.
From the collection of adventures (A) , a maker chooses an adventure (B) that inspires him to create a DPP, a derived product proposal (C). A DPP contains specific details that will later be used by the derived product contract factory (E.2) regarding requested budget and potential revenue division percentages.
The DAO votes on the proposal (D.1), and it passes (D.2). Upon the vote passing, the requested funds are released to the maker (E.1) and the derived product contract factory (E.2) creates a derived product contract, a DPC (G.2).
The maker uses the funds to create the derived product : any revenue that it generates (G.1) is received directly by its DPC (derived product contract) (G.2).
The maker uses the funds to create the derived product : any revenue that it generates (G.1) is received directly by its DPC (derived product contract) (G.2).
Makers make things.
Solidifying written words, makers enrich the experience by building upon the adventures, adding value to them and to the universe as a whole.
As a maker...
- you own a Skygazer NFT, which makes you a member of the Skygazers-DAO.
- you pick an adventure from the collection that inspires you to create a derived product.
- you create a DPP (derived product proposal).
- you received the funds requested in your DPP.
