Biography
Blackout hails from the Realm of Dreams, where the collective imagination of all the creatures in the universe come together to create beautiful wonders... and terrible nightmares. At a young age, he was recruited into the Dark Stygian – a Dragon Clan whose chief responsibility was to create nightmares for evil creatures as a way to discourage them from doing more villainy. But the clan began to abuse their power, and soon spread nightmares far and wide for its own amusement. But Blackout would not stand for it. So he learned to teleport directly into the nightmares the clan created and fought the creatures within. Eventually, the nightmares reached as far as Master Eon, who witnessed Blackout’s courage within his own dreams. After helping him put a stop to the Dark Stygian, Eon then made Blackout a Skylander, serving as the protector of the Realm of Dreams and beyond!
Story
History
Originating from the Realm of Dreams, a young Blackout was drafted into a dragon clan called the Dark Stygian, whose main goal was to conjure nightmares specifically for evildoers to dishearten them from committing more evil deeds. However the clan began to misuse their power by spreading nightmares far and wide for the fun of it. Not tolerating such abuse, Blackout used his teleportation abilities to dive right into the nightmares and battled the creatures residing inside. One of his battles was witnessed by Master Eon himself when the Portal Master was eventually threatened by these bad dreams. Both Blackout and Eon soon stopped the Dark Stygian, and Blackout was made a Skylander on the spot.
Light in the Dark
After eating a piece of candy and being unconscious for an unknown amount of time, Blackout and Spotlight found themselves inside a strange place with an opening at the top. However, before they could do anything, the area started to become flooded with candy, threatening to drown the two Skylanders. Both Spotlight and Blackout were unable to break themselves out on their own, but by combining their Light and Dark powers, the two dragons managed to escape. They discovered that they had been inside a giant piñata with Arkeyanruins, and quickly flew away to alert Master Eon. From afar, Pain-Yatta announced his plans of a "candy catastrophe" that the Skylanders wouldn't be able to stop in time.
After reporting back to Master Eon at the Skylanders Academy about what happend to them, Spotlight and Blackout soon discovered through Gearshift's report that Pain-Yatta used their Light and Dark powers to create an army of candy warriors to rule Skylands. Upon learning about Pain-Yatta's plan, Master Eon sent Spotlight and Blackout back to the Arkeyan ruins in order to find out any clues about the attack. Once there, the two dragons were ambushed by a horde of candy warriors until Knight Light and Knight Mare came to assist their fellow Skylanders. However they were soon confronted by Pain-Yatta, who released a wave of candy upon the four Light and Dark Skylanders.
