I've been thinking a lot about wither!Skizz lately. I have reasoning behind it and some things that lead into it, but I have no idea where he would have come from or how this would have happened to him.
The idea comes from Legacy SMP. When the Legates used their emergency Rift travel to escape the s1 world and reach s2, they accidentally dragged Skizz into the Rift with them from his world. Maybe the reason he was able to be yoinked like that was due to the Withers following the Legates through... picking up one of "their own" along the way.
Right now Skizz is notorious for his terrible wither skeleton skull luck, which I think is related somehow. A friend also pointed out that Withers that get out of hand while Skizz is around tend to stay relatively under control, with him coming to the rescue for Tango and Gem, but when he's not around, suddenly the Wither is completely causing havoc. Hmm...
Currently, my best guess is that Skizz is mixed human and Fortress People - the race of humanoids that the wither skeletons came from. But the Fortress People went extinct when the undead plague hit the Nether, so if that's the case it must be something pretty far back in his ancestry and he hit the genetic lottery. (This option would also require me figuring out what the Fortress People may have been like 😅) There's also the option of him actually being a wither/wither skeleton hybrid, but I don't really know how that would work. Either way, still figuring out abilities and looks that go with this, but Skizz is definitely Wither-related somehow!
