![]() REM Cycle This is all a dream. Your lives, your world, your everything... it's all a dream. I rest, waiting for someone to wake me from this dream. The dream that creates you, that is you. Will you wake me? Will you save me from these nightmares? I beg you, please. Risk yourself for your creator. It is your destiny. * * * * * * * * * * "I have a quest for the lot of you," the King said, pacing back and forth across the floor. He is a young king, just barely graying, a handsome king. But worry wrinkles his face, visible to anyone who looks upon it. "I expect you to succeed, for you are the best of the best. You've journeyed far and wide to come to my aid, fought battles and won tournaments, fallen into the good favor of my trusted advisers or gained fame throughout the kingdom for your fierceness or valor. That is why you are gathered here today." "It is the Dreamer," the Queen says, taking up where the King left off. She walks up from behind him, her dark locks swaying and emerald green eyes surveying those before her. She places a pale manicured hand upon his shoulder. "I'm sure you've heard the Legends. The Dreamer is the one who keeps this World alive; we are all but a figment of their imagination, nothing more. Well," she says, lowering her eyelids, "We need you to wake the Dreamer." Shocked gasps fill the room as the group digests this information. To wake the Dreamer could mean the end of the world, as they know it. "We know what you're thinking," the King says, "This could be a disastrous undertaking. But it is necessary. Nightmares are slowly creeping into this world, as you all know, and we must do something before they overtake us." "There is a chance the world will not die with the Dreamers awakening," the Queen adds, "And it is with that chance in mind that we ask you to do this. You will be risking yourselves for the future of this world. Whether that future happens, or not." The King and Queen lock hands and nod to each other before turning back to the group. Each monarch makes eye contact with the four they selected; they each know their real quest. For the King and Queen only act as though they are working together. They send off a group to wake the Dreamer, but that is not all the group aims to do, if they aim for that at all. The World Rules Character Sheet List of Characters King's Dreams 1.

Name: Ariel Jessamine Age: Twenty-One Sex: Female Race: Human Abilities: Ariel is highly skilled with hand to hand fighting as well as with small daggers. She carries a sword around at all times and is relatively good at fencing. Herbalism is her forté, she knows most and all herbs and what to do with them. Allegiance: Queen's Nightmares Personality: Ariel is, at heart, a truly kind person. She has a lot of compassion in her soul, despite her profession. She is a huge flirt and loves to seduce random men in taverns, sometimes giving them what they want, but more often she leaves them hanging. She tries to maintain her reputation of fear among the masses, and does well by making appearances sometimes. The air she throws on when around people is one of distaste and annoyance, as though the whole world is a bother to her. People think she is a lot crueler and meaner than she actually is. Brief History: Ariel awoke at the tender age of seven in an unknown city knowing only her first name. She knows not how she ended up there or what her life was like before, and unlike some who are put in this predicament, she doesn't care. For, while stumbling along scared and alone, she was found by the Thief Lord of the city. The Thief Lord, one who is feared by many, fell in love with the little girl. Secretly the soft side of him had always wanted a child, so he took her in. He taught her everything her knew about being a Thief and ultimately a Thief Lord. She learned a lot from others who hang around him as well, expanding her knowledge of the art of crime. Eventually came a time when she was ready to take over the throne of her foster father. But the only way for someone to usurp the throne of the current Thief Lord successfully is to kill them. Both of them knew that and eventually the day came when she did the deed. A carefully placed drop of concentrated poison onto food he had prepared himself. He had never expected it, which was the way they both wanted it to happen. Now she holds the place he once held. But the general public has more fear of her. Everyone in the city and the realm knows something about her, though most things are just stories taken as facts. Appearance: Appearance Clothes |

Name: Arianna "Ari" Elisia Age: 18 Sex: Female Race: Human Abilities: Arianna uses a Japanese sword as her weapon. Allegiance: King's Dreams Personality: Quiet and soft-spoken, no one would expect her to be a lethal killing machine. She is usually seen sitting by herself, so many people consider her a loner. However, whenever someone goes up to her and talks to her, she'll start a friendly conversation with them. Arianna isn't used to talking to and trusting other people because of her past. She is fiercely protective of the ones she loves, and won't let a single claw of harm touch them. Brief History: Arianna is an orphan and was raised to become an assassin. Because of the way she was trained, she knew that she can never trust someone fully and make permanent relationships. At first, Arianna thought that being an assassin was perfectly okay, but when she started to grow up, she began to realize how wrong she was. Desperate to start over, Arianna stopped being an assassin and became a normal citizen instead. Appearance: Arianna |

Name: Nathaniel Ma'Shar Age: Twenty-six years of age Sex: Male Race: An unnamed subspecies of elf which dwells in the forests. Resistant to raw magic, and more physically powerful than your average human. Abilities: He excels in fighting - his weapon is both his powerful, solidly built body, and a dual-bladed sword-spear. Both are honed to perfection. He's a good tracker in the forest, due to the lifestyle of his people, but his mental capacity leaves quite a lot to desire. Allegiance: King's Dreams Personality: A glory-seeker, Nathaniel prefers to have others think up the tactics while he slices up the enemies. It isn't that he's a violent bastard - he's actually rather laid-back and serene - but his one wish is to die the warrior's death, and in his opinion, thinking is for people who can't fight. It is rather well that he's a skilled warrior, or he'd probably be dead. With a strangely naive approach to women and suchlike, he often digs himself into holes he never knew existed without realising. Brief History: Nathaniel Ma'Shar, known by his brethren as 'Nathaniel the Ruthless', was born and raised in the forest. It has always been his home, and always will be. That's part of the reason now why he follows the King - if his forest were to be corrupted by Nightmares, his life would not be worth living. As a child, he was bullied for being bigger and even more dimwitted than most of the other children, though when the forest itself was attacked by humans, he was the first to defend it, the strongest warrior against the lumberjacks, and thus he became cherished more than his enemies. Addicted now to the glory of being famed by his clan, he seems to go from one quest to another to add more to the name of Nathaniel. Appearance: (It's big!) |

@Ceasing End. Accepted! ![]() Also. I just thought of something I forgot to add above. The groups do not know about the others. Like, if you follow the Queen, you do not know who of the other eight follows the Queen. Actually one group does not think that the other group has alternative motives. Eventually, they may find out. But for now they don't know and they keep their allegiance secret. |

Allegiance: Queen's Nightmares Personality: Arabella to the naked eye seems like a sweet girl who has just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. But in sooth she is clever quick and keen.

Arabella will 'hack' into your memories finding one that is sole to you and bring it up into conversation finding your weakness in the matter of minutes.

At the young age of 8 her loving parents found out about her ... so called ability. They acted like it was nothing but as she aged the ability was becoming hard for them to handle. She could manipulate anyone. Even them...So at the ripened age of 19 her parents told her she would be better off on her own.

When she turned 20 she learned the art of swordsmanship. Taking a liking to the daggers she went off on to her own adventures.

Name: Lazarus Oriel Age: Twenty Sex: Male Race: Human Abilities: Trained under one of the chief mages of the kingdom, Lazarus has adept skills at combat magic mostly that of which is psionic or elemental in origin. That which is arcane is his trade. Allegiance: King's Dreams Personality: Lazarus is a soft spoken man, having formerly lived in the shadow of his mentor. He is one to ponder all the possible choices rather than risk hasty decisions. Though he may be quiet, he certainly is not shy having wise wit honed from years of guidance in all forms of being a mage. Kindness and tenderness is also another piece of character that was instilled through his time as an apprentice, one of the first to forgive, but he prefers not to forget. Maturity is another part of him which some consider detrimental, though the one part of him which is immature is a wish to be remembered, to have legends told about his work in the world while he lived. The mage with something to prove, and a tale to be woven in the land of dreams. Brief History: Born the son of a couple with deep roots in bardic tradition, Lazarus first thought he was going to carry on what his ancestry had started, to record the history and the people, but fate had much different plans for him. At an early age he showed potential for being gifted with the arcane, it was quickly found out and he was taken in to be properly trained in arcana. It was a privileged life, he was well-behaved and well-learned in his subjects. The nightmares began to grow worse and worse throughout his years, and his mentor was preparing to do a very personal task for the king involving the dreamer. Unfortunately, the mentor fell ill and the king had asked Lazarus to succeed him in the task. Lazarus accepted the task to try and save the land from the nightmares once and for all.
