However a dark presence has drawn it shadow over the Dream World and Dreams have been evolving into Nightmares, terrifying, larger and more powerful versions of themselves causing destruction and mayhem.


The Sandman, charged with looking after the Dream World decides to bring enlist the help of Humans, bringing them into the Dream World and making them Lucid Dreamers with extraordinary powers based on their own dreams to help fight the Nightmares, transform them back to Dreams and discover the cause for this chaos in the Dream World.


You play one of the many humans recruited by the Sandman to help defeat the Nightmares. You may lead an ordinary life in the day, but as soon as you sleep you become a defender of the Dream World. You fight for your own personal reasons, but the Sandman promised each Lucid Dreamer if they helped him he would help stop their recurring Nightmares.


Everyone who joins is already a trained Lucid Dreamer who has been doing this for a while and knows how everything works.

How to Join

​

​

To join is simple, firstly create a Character Sheet according the skeleton posted below and post it here. If I ask for changes, change and once it is accepted and on the list you may join in the RP. In the actual RP, you can do a short or long post about your character living some day to day stuff before they go to sleep. Then once your character falls asleep you automatically appear in the Dream World as a Lucid Dreamer and can continue your mission to help the Sandman fight Nightmares.

​

​

You must also read the Story Thread, link above. It contains vital information on how everything works! Seriously, I'll know if you don't read it, by your lack of terminology and boot you out!

​

​

This works as it allows you to immediately join or leave a battle as necessary, you just need to wake up to leave or fall asleep to join.

Name: Ava Allison Daniels

​

​

Gender: Female

​

​

Age: 17

​

​

Personality: Developmental

​

​

Real World

​

​

​

Dream: Ava is sitting at a piano in a dark room. The only things she sees are the piano and blank sheet music sitting on the ledge. No music plays and Ava goes to press one pf the pristinely white keys, but someone- or something- beats her to it. Music begins to play and notes are being written on the sheet music by an unseen hand. Ava knows the song but dares not sing the words that bring her so much pain aloud. Instead, she sings them in her head 'Two little doves sit upon a window ledge. Singing the songs pf the morning. Why must the birds wake so early?' Ava pauses to swallow back salty tears. She misses a few verses and then begins again. 'Little child opens the window and pushes the two birds down, down, down!' Ava realizes she had her eyes shut and opens them to find herself in her childhood room. Sitting on the window ledge are two doves, one is pristinely white, the other covered with specks of red. Ava, uncontrolably walks to the window and pushes the white one down. The bird falls to the ground and when it hits it is the body of her twin brother. Ava pushes the specked one down and when she looks it is her own body lying there. A flash, and the dove body is back but now covered in the blood of her brother but alive. The dream ends there.

​

​

The dream is taken from a childhood memory. Her twin brother had been born to be a musician and played and composed well. Ava was jealous. The white dove represents her brother's innocent five year old self and the speckled one her jealous self. The song was one her brother had composed and she had made the words. A few minutes after they had finished the two were playing and sitting on Ava's window will. Ava, jokingly, pretended to push him but he slipped and fell four stories down. There was no saving him and Ava took silent pleasure in her brother being dead but mourned him as well. She takes guilty pleasure in the memory every time she thinks pf it. At the end, when her dove-self falls it is representing how she should have fallen and died too but didn't.

​

Gender: Male

​

​

Age: 16

​

​

Personality: Carefree, free-spirited

​

​

Real World

​

​

​

Dream: Rael is playing video games, his favorite activity. The game he is playing is Mega-Man, his favorite game of all time. He reaches the final boss, but instead of fighting Dr. Wily, a small 8-bit version of Rael's father is there. No matter how hard Rael tries, even with his mad Mega-Man skills, he can't defeat his father, and he loses all of his lives. "Game Over, Rael!" appears on the screen, and the controller in Rael's hands shakes and shudders by itself. Rael drops it. The TV screen goes black, and a skull appears on it. The television comes to life, using the controller cords as arms, and reaches out for Rael, and the skull on the screen laughs. He tries to run, but his feet are tangled up in cords, and the television drags him to the screen, and pulls him into its depths, and he falls into blackness. The dream usually ends there. Rael's father was a video game designer, but he got too sucked into his work and deprived himself of sleep and nutrition. He eventually came down with a terrible sickness and died. The dream symbolizes how, even with Rael's greatest efforts, the memory of his father's death always overpowers him. Rael loves video games, but he constantly worries that he will suffer the same fate his father did. But, despite this fear, the comforting feel of a controller in his hands is too alluring for Rael to resist.

​

​

​

Arm cannon similar to Mega Man's, but more powerful and is equipped with several different types of shots

​

A Z-saber, red energy blade

​

General badassery

​

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

I love Megaman! Ok fandom over.


Technically that is Protoman.EXE, also you will stick with the name as you don't change names in the Dream World. You don't actually become Protoman, you just change apperance. The powers are good but I'll have to nix the weapon absorbing ability. I know it's a Megaman trademark, but it's too gmy. Remove that and you will be fine. 
Ok, accepted. However the RP has not opened yet. We were waiting for people, so I will open the RP when someone else joins or tomorrow. Whichever comes first!

 

[Snek]

Ahh okay then

 

[Mage_Kikyou]

Name: Brock Fahliil Doors


Gender: Male


Age: 18


Personality: A strong headed person who will go out of his way to help anyone he cares about


Real World


Looks: A male who has blonde hair blue eyes. he is fit with a swimmers body. always wears his favorite clothes which includes a blue shirt and jeans with boots.


Dream: Brock is walking through a hallway of sticky notes feeling like someone is chasing him. He starts to run just in case until he sees a note that must have fallen off. He recognizes the writing immediately. The writing is that of his 12 year old sister. it reads "Why must it be our dad who hates us I mean first he kills our mom then he threatens me. Tomorrow we run." He remembers this day as he closes his eyes and the next thing he knows is he is in his old bedroom with his sister and they are packing their bags because they are running away from their abusive dad. Then their dad walks in and is immediately angry because he knows they are running away from him. Dad goes and is about to smack my older sister and I step in the way of him and he slaps me hard enough to knock me out but I still see it all my dad approaches my sister as he get closer my sister backs up toward the window as she approaches it she tries to open it but my dad won't let her. As my sister is against the wall my dad punches her in her face and keeps punching her than she falls down and he starts to kick her repeatedly until she is no longer breathing . Then he walks over to where I was the last time he saw me but I was no longer there I had ran when he was kicking my sister. He closes his eyes again and he is at the police station telling them what happened and one police officer just laughs and said do you expect us to believe that then they all join in laughing. I run out yelling "WHY DON'T THEY BELIEVE ME?" as I run away. As I am running a car pulls over and it is my dad he tells me to get in the car. I just run and run as fast as I can, but as I cross a street a car runs my leg over and the person in the car is my aunt she yells at me saying that I should have been stronger for my sister. She said that it should have been me and she was right I was the one supposed to die not my sister.

[PyroWarriorZ]

I'm sorry but it does need to be a recurring dream, that is part of the plot and how your powers work. I can't accept it unless it is a proper recurring dream and not a simple copy of what we are doing in the real world. You can only control a dream as Lucid Dreamers, before that you had the recurring dream you can't control. It's part of the reason each member joined the Sandman.

This looks interesting and I think I might join.


It may take a bit, however; the dream description has me stuck.

[PaperStab]

Hey Pyro, long time no see. I hope you're doing well. Hopefully this character is OK. I'm not sure whether his powers would be OP or not but I've tried to keep it balanced. Lemme know if it needs changed.


Name: Jerry McShane


Gender: Male


Age: 20


Personality: 'Shy and introverted' describes Jerry well - he doesn't like to talk much. He thinks a lot about things but tends to keep his insights to himself for fear of being misunderstood or shot down. Nonetheless, he's keen to make friends and help them out when they're in trouble.


Real World


Looks: A tall, lean figure with pale skin and sharp, angular features. He has short, sandy blonde hair and stubble, with piercing blue eyes. His usual, unassuming attire consists of a white vest, a light brown jacket, blue jeans and brown leather boots.


Dream: Jerry finds himself in the middle of a forest wearing a simple white robe. Wisps of blue fire swirl through the air in slow motion. The sunlight is so bright as to give the trees a bleached appearance, forcing him to squint his eyes. A robed figure floats into the clearing, unaffected by the time distortion slowing Jerry and the wisps. The man is Jerry's father, whom he has not seen for sixteen years. His mouth doesn't open to speak, but his voice pierces through the air in perfect clarity:


"Hello, son," It says calmly. His face betrays no expression.


"...D...Dad?" Jerry struggles to enunciate his words, which come out slurred. He can barely recognise him. The sharp features and lean build Jerry had inherited were present, but his full, graying beard and balding hair were distant from the man he remembered.


"I'm sorry I had to leave you and your mother. There was nothing I could do. But...Jerry, I want you to have this."


The wisps start to swarm in front of Jerry's father, creating a small whirlwind of blue flame. The flames dissipate to reveal a pristine long-sword floating in the air. The hilt of the weapon is forged to resemble a Celtic cross. Ancient runes are engraved along the blade.


" You'll need it for the challenge that lies ahead. It will be difficult, but I know you'll pull through. Never give up, son. "


His father floats backward, into the forest and out of sight. Jerry's attempts to call out to him fail as he struggles to open his mouth to speak. Left alone with the sword, he sluggishly reaches out to grab hold of it.


As his grip tightens on the hilt, the entire forest seems to fall away beneath his feet. He hangs on for dear life as he is surrounded by a whirlwind of blue fire. The storm buffets him until he is forced to let go and is pulled into the fire. At that moment, Jerry wakes up.


Jerry has no idea why his father disappeared sixteen years ago, nor does he know why his father would visit him in a recurring dream - if it even is his father. The volatile nature of the sword's power reflects Jerry's own emotional struggle.


Dream World


Appearance: In the Dream World, Jerry wears the white robe and wields the magic sword that his father gave him in his dream. His only adornment is a brown leather belt which holds a scabbard.


Abilities: The sword is bestowed with formidable arcane power. Through the sword, Jerry is able to create and control blue arcane fire. The sword also gives Jerry innate knowledge and skill in swordsmanship, the power of levitation and, in rare cases, mental projection.


This involves Jerry transmitting thoughts or emotions to other beings in the Dream World to either communicate or to attack their minds. However, this power is limited twofold.


First, the projection is strictly one-way - Jerry can't read the minds of other beings. Second, it is very draining for Jerry to use it, and he even risks being taken out of the Dream World when he does so.


Furthermore, the sheer power contained in the sword is difficult for Jerry to control, sometimes resulting in volatile outbursts of flame or outright failure to even produce a spark.

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

Yea, a hell of a while PaperStab. I'm good and you? As for sheet, all good to me. Accepted.

 

[keizerin]

Name: Clara Bennett

​

Gender: Female

​

Age: 17

​

Personality: Clara isn't very good at talking to people in real life, but feels more open in the Dream World. She kind, caring, and protective over the other Lucid Dreamers, often going out of her way to help those in need, although she can be very stubborn.

​

Real World

​

Looks:

http://www.zerochan.net/1208589
​

Dream: Clara wanders through a thick forest wearing her usual "samurai" armor (shown below), trees blocking almost all traces of sunlight in the sky above. She isn't even sure it's daytime anymore. However, she knows she's not alone. People whose faces are hidden by the shadows surround her, and soon move in to attack. She uses her sword to deflect most of the attacks, but there are too many of them to defend herself. Soon, she's overpowers and thrown to the ground. The people are suddenly children, as is she. They are kicking, hitting, and throwing things at her while she lays on the ground, defenseless. The dream ends when Clara looks up to see one of the children getting ready to bash her in the head with a rock.

​

This horrible dream was caused by bullying that occurred to her at a young age. Although it doesn't happen anymore, it still haunts her. The beginning theme and dream appearance is inspired by a storybook hero her dad used to tell her about to cheer her up, whom she ended up idolizing. Since her father worked in a museum - his daughter's favorite exhibits being that of the samurai, of course - he made up a story of a young samurai that would try to help his village using his unusual strength, but constantly breaks things. In the end, however, his strength ended up coming in handy and the village finally gave him the recognition he deserved. Her appearing dressed similar to the character represents her wish to become strong like the hero in her stories.

​

Dream World

​

Appearance:

http://www.zerochan.net/1184956
​

Abilities: Of course, she has the ability of unusual strength (although not entirely super) and speed. The blade of her sword is also very sharp, and can cut through almost anything.

​

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

Accepted.

 

[keizerin]
