[Evangeline]

:Ev's Charries:

Username: Evangeline.
Name: Anna Lighthearth.
Gender: Female.
Age: 17.
Species: Dreamer.
Personality: (Please be descriptive.)
Appearance: (Please be descriptive.)
Powers: (There will be a list for you to choose from. Don't pick one that's already been taken. If you have an idea of something you really want to do, do mention it in the OoC thread. Also, variations of powers are allowed, and recommended.)
History: (Optional.)
Other: (Optional.)

Username: Evangeline.
Name: Ienakihm - Grave.
Gender: Male.
Age: Appears to be 19.
Species: Nightmare.
Personality: Confident, carefree, egotistic, and a brick wall to new ideas. He's practically pride given corporeal form. In terms of life, or his perception of it, the lot he drew isn't bad at all. He's used to order and consistency - and as such, finds it very hard to deal with new and conspiratory methods of thinking. Grave is quick to judge and even quicker to play the blame game - always believing he is in the right. He's quite the social butterfly, and despite having a knack for charms, his words often aren't veiled - he tells them as they are; the blunt and honest truth. Due to his style of thinking, and his life so far, he's not exactly the happiest camper at the moment, with the changes that can be found in Somnia.
Appearance: Standing at 5'8 with a slender build and delicate features, Grave can be considered pretty, not that it's a good idea to say it to his face. He has layered dark red hair, faded (lightened) at the edges, which end at his shoulders. His fringes fall over his left eye, which, when uncovered, is actually empty - not in the sense that it's sunken, but merely filled with darkness, as if no one had imagined it yet. Whisks of said darkness can sometimes be seen if he moving quickly. His right eye is a bright blue grey. Appearing largely humanoid, the only oddities he possesses are his hands - which go from pale to inky black at his finger tips, and clawed nails. His true form has a single wing made of bone protruding from his left shoulder. However, it can't be used for flight - only defense.
Powers: Grave's ability manifests in the form of projection. His main area of expertise is astral projection - the ability to separate a part of himself to create a clone, of sorts. The clone doesn't have to be held through will, but does limit his normal powers, such as strength and speed, by half when used. The more projections, the weaker he gets.
History: Grave is a rather old Nightmare - not quite ancient, but he has existed for around a millennium. He was conceived through the human dreams of seeking power and beauty. He has also been involved with the royalty for nearly half of his lifetime.
Other: He's supposed to symbolize pride, if you couldn't tell.

I guess I'm allowed to apply already...? About the Dreamer powers, is what they can create only certain things? Or can they create whatever? I had assumed the latter.

Username: Tellurium
Name: Conrad (no fantasy names, I see)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Species: Dreamer
Personality: He is frequently in a state of uneasiness and paranoia. Besides the constant jumpiness, he's really quite a pleasant person to be around, and is thoughtful to everyone, even when it's against his better judgement. Trust is hard to build, but he's obedient nonetheless. His mind also processes his surroundings at an extraordinary rate, so his memory is wonderful; moreover, his conversations are anxiety-driven and he switches topics so easily that those less mentally-swift tend to get lost.
Appearance: Truthfully, he's not much to look at, being 5'9" and worryingly thin. His messy black hair tapers at chin level, looking rather windblown. His sunken face and brown, dark eyes speak of many sleepless nights, among other reasons. Clothes-wise, he cares very little, which shows: he usually wears a grey overcoat, contrasting his pale shade of skin, and similarly dark pants and shoes. Yes, indeed, he's a very dark person.
Powers: Usual Dreamer powers, but his are more sporadic and unreliable in amount of effectiveness.
History: He's gone through a series of badly-ended relationships (none of which were romantic, I must add) which have changed him for the worse.
Other: Gold smiley for you:

Accepted. c:

Really, Dreamers can create anything, provided that they can think of it clearly in the time they have. They have to have a clear image of what they want, and it has to be in reason - their power indicates what kind of things they can create. Someone who's new to dreaming things up won't be able to create a t-rex on the first try, you know?

Cool.

Ah, okay. I understand now. This RP sounds so interesting, I hope we can start soon.

[Evangeline]

Hope so too. :3

I'm excited to see where this idea will go.

Username: Armorath
Name: Robin Lyons, but she goes by Sparks
Gender: Female
Age: Appears to be about 22
Species: Dream
Personality: Sparks is very lighthearted and acts as if she doesn’t have a single care in the world. She is easily excited, and she’s almost never unhappy. However, when she does feel upset, she tends to bottle up all of her negative emotions until something makes her explode in a huge display of emotion. This rarely ever happens, though, since she is simply way too carefree to ever harbor any grudges. She is always eager to accept any apologies from people who have wronged her, and she’s always looking to be kind, even to those who may not be so nice. She is also way too trustful of everyone she meets, always excited to get to know somebody new. It’s because of these traits that many have called her too naïve, which is actually very accurate.
She is always incredibly-extremely energetic, unable to sit/stand still for even a moment, unless, of course, she’s asleep. Even if she is trying intensely to be still and looks like she has succeeded, you know that her eye, her hand, her foot, or her wings are twitching. She also has a tendency to say exactly what she’s thinking aloud, even if no one is listening. To her, talking aloud helps her concentrate on what needs to be done. The things that she says can range from very useful to completely irrelevant. Her overwhelming energy also causes her mind to always wander off to nowhere, causing her to be very forgetful. Generally, she has a hard time concentrating on anything going on, but if she truly does care about the task at hand, she can also learn very quickly. She is also very clumsy, for she has trouble with her always thinking mind and her always moving body. Unable to multi-task very well, she always finds herself stumbling on every single thing possible, and impossible, and fumbling around with having to catch things, or even just hold.
She is a very caring individual who you could often find putting herself at risk for others’ sakes, even if she doesn’t know them very well. She can read emotions very easily, and is sensitive to how others feel. She is also extremely defensive for everyone she meets, regardless of whether she actually knows who they are or not. She will always listen to her friends if they need to talk, and she will always keep any promises her friends. If she can’t, she’ll always say so. This can be a huge problem for her, however, since she doesn’t realize that sometimes she has to be selfless.
Many have told her that she is hard to get along with because of overall bubbly personality, and in truth, she has tried many times to change herself, but found that it is nearly impossible. If she focuses extremely hard on being serious or solemn, she can usually stay that way for quite some time, but eventually her personality switches back to the way it originally was. Of course, she still has normal emotions, so if something tragic or horrifying happens to her or someone else, she will be greatly affected. In fact, she may even have trouble going back to the person she once was.
Appearance: She is pretty short, at about 5”4’ She isn’t a particularly beautiful or pretty person, though she doesn’t exactly mind. She has wavy black hair that slightly fades to super dark brown hair towards the end which most don’t notice since the change is so small. She always wears it down, which can be quite a hassle since it almost always gets in her face, but she thinks that when she puts it up, she looks worse. Some like her hair better up and others don’t. It all depends on perspective. She has brown skin that becomes slightly lighter from tan lines. She has an abundance of freckles on her face, enough that it seems kind of awkward, but not too many that people feel that it’s just one giant blob. Her eyes are a dark brown, matching the color of her freckles. She always covers up, wearing yellow shirt under a blue jacket along with black pants and blue sneakers. She dresses comfortably instead of what might look nice. Somehow, she and her clothes just never get dirty . . . Her body weight is what an average person has. She loves food, so she isn’t exactly skinny, but her weight isn’t anything that a person would exactly take notice of. Her wings magically pop out of her clothes because she is magical, right? Her wings are also dark brown, similar to her hair. Most people actually mistake it for black.
Powers: Electrokinesis. Her ability comes from how energized and pumped up she is, which means she is always charged and ready for action, except when she’s asleep. Even when she doesn't mean to use her power, her constant state of energy causes static shocks to be common for her, shocking herself most of the time. Her power increases the faster her heart races. However, at a certain point in battle, or once she’s used up all her battery, she loses control. One of two things happens at this point. One is that electricity bursts out of her, shocking everything within a certain range, and then she drops out completely asleep. That happens when she is using her power and she runs out of juice. The second is that she stays wide awake and energetic, but she simply cannot use her electric powers anymore. This happens when she isn’t using her power at the time. It usually anywhere from 15-60 minutes, depending on how strenuously she is using her powers. She can recharge if a source of electricity is nearby. Shocking her can restart her powers, and if there is a lightning storm nearby, she can also draw the energy from the sky. She does this with her wings, which are strong enough to take her up and keep her there for about 10 minutes. They aren’t particularly strong, though, so after that, she begins to fall to the ground.
History: Once upon a time, she was born.
Other: So, I realize that I wrote a lot for her stuff, but don’t worry! When I actually rp, I won’t write too much. I just needed to get all of my creative describing stuff out. Yup! Also, please tell me if you think she’s OP, since I feel maybe her power is a bit too much? Or maybe if she just shouldn’t have wings. Also, I hope it’s okay that I gave her black-ish wings, since her hair is black. I thought it’d be weird if she had white or light brown wings if her hair color was different. Should I just summarize this all or something? I just realized how much there is to read.

[Tellurium]

Wow. I feel so inadequate. Poor Conrad, he'll never be described as beautifully.

[Evangeline]

Lol, s'alright. Sparks is accepted.

Yaaaay! Thanks soooo much. Sorry for alll of everything though. I sort of got carried away. I realized, like, 5 mins. in that it was getting too long. Whoops. And I had one more question. Are the Nightmares and Dreams in the RP going to know eachother?
