Welcome to Gaia! ::

General Laws:

There are not many rules that limit the sky dwellers' ability to move throughout their world, however the ones that are enforced are strictly thus.

The most enforced law is that NO ONE is allowed to seep through the clouds to the land below. Creatures that reside in the forest covered earth are territorial and fierce. As time drew on, every animal and insect had significantly evolved into a larger, more destructive being. They are distrusting, even amongst each other, and tend to be jealous of abilities that they lack, especially the Flightless Fowl.

Scientific Laws:

Biology:

The natural function of plants applies to mostly all of the vegetation, however there are a few types of plants (which are found abundantly throughout the land), in which instead of producing oxygen, they produce the Carbon Dioxide that creates that clouds in which the Skyers live. They are dangerous to live around however the evolved species are able to survive living beside such hostile plants. The Skyers moved above the clouds to escape the toxic air they cannot breathe.

Chemistry:

The Carbon Dioxide created by these plants is special. Though it is toxic to humans, it does not harm plants normal plants and animals who have built up an immunity with the gas is able to live in a somewhat harmonic lifestyle. The animals have adapted by developing a sort of filter in their lungs, which is able to separate the carbon molecules from the oxygen molecules, creating breathable air.

The CO2 is also much more dense than the usual CO2 humans are accustomed to. It is not poisonous, rather it is suffocating. If a human were to be placed in a box full of this CO2, for example, then he/she would die of suffocation and heat stroke because it is also a greenhouse gas. Though the sky appears to be divided by the white CO2 clouds, it is not completely covered. The plants are still able to survive because the CO2 clouds are blown about by the wind, sticking together in a clump, though still moving about the atmosphere around the world, shedding some light on the white tinted plants.
