This Sucks

Plat (Pronounced like Splat without the S) is... well, it's Earth from another universe, serving as the main setting for Hero's Sandbox.

It is very similar to Earth in many ways, though with the noticeable differences of:

Being magical. Magic flows through every rock & mineral in the planet; the most powerful found in crystals, though even the common soil has power of its own. Sometimes the ground splits apart, hovering upwards as floating islands. Minerals being magic also explains the following:
- Having two thin planetary rings.
  - - They are collectively known as the Painter's Brush; due to the appearance of being like paint streaked across the sky.
- Having a rainbow-coloured atmosphere.
  - - As the planet & the atmosphere rotates; to inhabitants, the sky appears as different colours of the rainbow, depending on the day of the week.
      - Red skies = Monday
        Orange skies = Tuesday
        Yellow skies = Wednesday
        Green skies = Thursday
        Blue skies = Friday
        Purple skies = Saturday
        Pink skies = Sunday
    - It's magic, don't question it.
- Being orbited by two pink Moons.
  - - The larger, faster Moon is called "Splish".
    - The smaller, slower Moon is called "Splash"
    - Both Moons, as a pair, are casually known as "Splish-Splash". A more formal & ancient name being the "Nightmare Eyes". They're both ocean worlds.
    - Both Moons are actually about the same size, they just appear different in the sky because Splish is nearer to Plat than Splash.
Humans never existed; in their place are the Sculpturekind.

Sculpturekind are the dominant species of Plat. They are stone given life; magic flows like in invisible currents throughout the planet's structure, and where it coalesces, clay, soil, and stone turn malleable, shaped by magic, and then come alive. They are able to chisel their own bodies, or add more stone to their form, and thus take many, many different shapes & sizes, according to their preferences or needs.

One thing that remains consistent, though, is that their body's colour is always the colour of the rocks they were formed, and the same, singular tone throughout. As a result, most Sculpturekind tend to have grey-ish bodies, while their eyes and innards glow with the colour of the magic that holds their form. They might paint their bodies for added colour, or wear accessories but this is purely cosmetic, and seen as impractical- often reserved only for special occasions.

After exactly a hundred years of life, an individual Sculpturekind lays down to rest for the final time, returning to be part of the planet, as humble stone.
