Do You Wanna Have a Bad Time?
Your life has been relatively normal thus far. School, friends, family, and fun are what you mainly worry about.
On your 16th birthday, however...Things change.
Things of dark intent begin rising. Creatures, born from fear. The Nightmares, they're called. They take multiple forms - the form of someone familiar and something unknown, the form of someone human and something anything but. They gain power from fear. They seek the collapse of civilization and the start of complete darkness across the world. You have discovered these creatures - on occasion, your family has as well. You have seen these creatures.
And now, it's time to fight back.
Generally, there are three types of people who fight back:
The Dreamers. These people are destined to protect the Earth from the nightmares. But, at the same time, they know very well that the future is in flux - their destiny may fail to see the end of it all. They can summon specific weapons to their aide, and instantly know how to use them once they've summoned them - as if they always knew. They are empowered by the hope around them. They are connected to the dreams of the Normals, and their soul is partially made up of those dreams - and they never know until their whole destiny is revealed. They aren't completely human. Some of them have innate powers apart from the above mentioned, due to their connections with the dreams of Normals. They are almost always occupied by...
The Dreams. These beings are destined to aide the Dreamers in protecting the Earth from nightmares. They usually serve a mentor role, and are born from the dreams of the Dreamer in question that they are destined to help. More often than not, they can't fight back themselves - it is known to happen on occasion that they are able, but not often - and just serve to instruct the Dreamers on all aspects of their power. Even if they take a human or humanoid appearance, they are not human. They only appear once the human has come of age and encountered a Nightmare - not necessarily in that order.
The Normals/The Humans. They cannot summon weapons to their aide, and normally have to equip themselves manually. They are part of the reason why the future is in such a state of flux, and as such, Dreamers who understand destiny aren't exactly thrilled when people get involved.
After a while of fighting the nightmares...People sometimes...Change. They lose their ability to have fear. This development is a real leg up to Dreamers, as it means the Nightmares can't overpower them alone. However, at the same time, the Nightmares develop as well. They gain more tricks, or even start commanding others.
Overall, the entire goal of the thing is to learn the presence of whoever is controlling the Nightmares, and put a stop to them. In the affairs of Nightmares themselves - who's controlling them, at least - is one of the few points related to the battle that the Dreams aren't completely knowing of. Some Dreams know of lesser leaders, but not the higher ups.
