Character Basics
Character Name Dream of the Endless / Morpheus, Oneiros, Kai'ckul, etc. HE HAS SO MANY NAMES & TITLES Series/Canon The Sandman (TV series)
AU/PG/Canon Point Post canon Cottage Star House ✨
Canon Details Pulling him from after episode 11 of the TV series (corresponds with issue #18 of comics), but info/background/details are supplemented with original comics canon, interviews, and Neil Gaiman's Q&As
Character Details
Age Slightly younger than existence itself, something like 10+ billion years old, appears in his ~30s Pronouns He/Him/Lord/whatever he feels like
Physical Stature actor is 5′10″ but can be perceived as "tall" and rake-thin Hair/Eyes messy black hair / silver/blue eyes (as a human)
Notable Traits Dream's appearance ranges widely, depending on the entity looking upon him, but for humans he appears as a tall, thin human man with extremely pale skin (comics provides "skin the color of falling snow") and messy black hair that refuses to be tamed. His eyes also typically appear as silver/blue when appearing as a human, but can also appear as two distant stars looking out from the shadows where his eyes should be. Dream can cast a human shadow ... when it occurs to him to do so. Dream also speaks very formally, archaically, with a deep voice that sounds like it could easily put you to sleep.

People generally perceive Dream as wearing a style of dress appropriate to their region and era. However, in his realm the Dreaming, he is often seen wearing a dark t-shirt, dark jeans, and sometimes covered with a dark robe.
15 Second Summary Dream is one of the seven Endless, a familial group of cosmic entities which are anthropomorphic representations of powerful natural forces as old as time itself; his older siblings are Destiny and Death (whom is he closest to), and his younger siblings are Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium. As his names indicates, he is the sole ruler of the Dream Realm, responsible for the forging and shaping of the dreams and nightmares that are experienced by all mortal beings. Dream is constantly aware of his responsibilities as an Endless, both to other people and to his realm, and is detailed and exacting in their fulfillment and execution. Throughout the series, Dream consistently strives for understanding of himself and of the other Endless, but he is ultimately undone by his most tragic flaw: his innate inability to accept change.
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities As the personification of dreams and sleep, Dream has authority and control over dreams and everything linked to them:

  • Oneiromancy: can make people sleep or wake up, give people pleasant dreams or nightmares, can send messages and visions through them, and can track and locate people through their dreams
  • Creation: can create living beings and things that exist in his realm/in dreams
  • Illusion Generation: can create projections of Illusions so real that he and others can physically and verbally interact with them (has said that dreams and reality are much closer to each other than many realize)
  • Magic: can use magic, spells, and enchantments
  • Teleport: can go anywhere on Earth or realm easily (can also simply ~appear~ across the room for cheap tricks), can open inter-dimensional portals to travel between worlds via his magic sand
  • Shapeshifting: can shapeshift at will, altering his own appearance and clothing
  • Perception: can shifts a person's perception of him, allowing him to be perceived or to go unnoticed
  • Immortality: has existed since the beginning of creation, he cannot get sick, age, or die from weapons (if an Endless is killed or destroyed, their personality and powers will be passed on to someone else, taking their place and incarnation in the universe)
  • Superhuman Strength & Endurance: has higher and tougher strength than an ordinary human, does not need food to live, can heal his own wounds and injuries quickly
  • Persuasions: can persuade the minds of others people to obey his compelling suggestions, especially in dreams
Permissions General R rating, but I'm pretty much open to anything short of torture and death (which can also be discussed), just please communicate OOCly first! 🖤✨
Sensing CAN BE PINGED AS AN OBVIOUS NON-HUMAN ENTITY if your character is sensitive to that, and I welcome any sensing of his not-human-ness unless it's explicitly stated in comments/threads due to his abilities (see above)

PLAYER

NAME: Eryne
CONTACT: DM this journal!
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: General PT timezone; afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Can be slow!
BRACKETS/PROSE: I prefer brackets
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None really

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION:
Not a big fan of others touching him. Will definitely avoid or prevent any bigger gestures from most people, save anyone he may feel close to.
  • Hugging: He'll be stiff and awkward, but sure
  • Kissing: Not unless he consents, or it's a kiss on the cheek or something
  • Sex: Unlikely to happen

RELATIONSHIPS:
Has had many relationships across the millennia, though all of them have ended badly. He is just as likely to fall head-over-heels for someone who catches his interest as he is to completely miss obvious romantic advances.
  • Flirting: He's likely to find it amusing so go for it
  • Romance: Generally unwelcome but open to the possibility, just depends on CR

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE:
Generally not a fan! He would absolutely prefer for any violence to not happen. If it comes to pass, please reach out to me if it's going to be anything serious.
  • Fighting: He's used to different kind of duels, but go ahead!
  • Injury: Good luck in trying
  • Death: Technically is immortal soooo

PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION:
Can be pinged as an obvious non-human! Unless he wants to go Unnoticed and can hide himself.
  • Mind-Reading: Please DM me about this to discuss! Most psychics would only get a vague sense of endless void from him, but more powerful psychics might be overwhelmed by anything they pick up from him.
  • Mental manipulation: Again, please DM me about this, but it's very unlikely to happen.

MAGICAL INFORMATION:
He has the ability to bend and shape most of the world around him to the point where reality is more of a suggestion than anything else and is even more powerful in his realm/in dreams (though this is obviously limited in-game). He is capable of changing his own appearance, creating and manipulating dreams, illusions, and spells, teleporting with use of his sand, and can persuade the minds of others people to obey his compelling suggestions, especially in dreams.

MEDICAL INFORMATION:
For the most part, he appears entirely human as long as you don't look too closely. He doesn't have any actual need to eat, sleep, or any perform other humanly function. He has no pulse, no heart beat, and sometimes might not even breathe. Also has a habit of staying still for too long, motionless as he stares at people or things, which doesn't help the "trying to look human" thing.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS:
He doesn't talk about family outside of his family, and is generally not forthcoming about most things anyway. Talk about his capture is a big no-no, along with really any of his past romantic adventures.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: Please! I'll generally continue to tag a thread into infinity.
THREADHOPPING: Go right ahead. Blanket permission always in place.
FOURTHWALLING: I would rather not, unless there's a good IC reason for it.
SHIPPING: I'm personally fine with it, even cross-canon shipping, just depends on the characters.
NOT INTERESTED IN: Am actually pretty open to anything short of torture and death (which can also be discussed), just please communicate OOCly first!
