Personality ;
It's in his name, Dream is a Dreamer. He was born into this world with the ability to see what others could not. His eyes could only see endless wonder and often walked around with thick roses tinted glasses for most of his childhood. Making the tragedy of what happened hit him even more.
In way some ways, Dream has the ideal way of living. He is effortlessly happy despite his endless trauma and sees the good in truly the most bleakest of situations. This has always been Dream's biggest strength while biggest fault at the same time, if things are truly hopeless then it simply does not register to Dream and he lets himself be blinded by what he hopes to happen over what might be considered realistic. It comes in handy when there is an outcome that no one else can see due to despair but at the same time, means Dream is lost in a fruitless endeveour if he can't accept there truly is no other way. See, his endless battle with his brother.
Dream is a kind, gentle and tender soul, a sensitive type who aims to help everyone regardless of who they may be. He's surprisingly naive and often very oblivious to most social situations despite his old age, some would say he's still a kid despite it all. Ever full of whimsy and finding the most simple of things purely delightful. This is the thing that often keeps Dream going even when things look terrible,
Dream will be dealt a bad hand and end up in bad situation after bad situation, but it's the laughter of children playing, the warm sun on his non-existent skin and the simple joy of a game of hopscoth that keeps him fighting for what's right. Big surprise, the one fighting pure negavitiy is the one full of unrentlessly postivity, Dream is tired though he won't admit it. But he keeps going.
Still Dreaming.
Biography ;
It all started with a tree. When the world was young and new, the goddess of creation decided to bless humanity with the ability to feel. She planted a single tree in the ground, from it grew the Tree of Feelings. With it's creation humanity could now mourn, they could now laugh, they could now witness the full emotional spectrum they had previously been blind to. One side of the tree grew golden apples, the other side black apples. Both are meant to aid humanity, both offer unique healing abilties however one made you dream and invoked positive feelings....the other made you see what was real and invoked negative feelings.
Nim knew the tree could potentionally be used for evil as much as it could be used for good, so with it she crafted two guardians.
Dream and Reality.
The first monsters to ever walk the world and with their very existence had introduced humanity to magic as a concept, this would later create a domino effect.... neither created all of monsterkind but effectively the species only exists because of them. Dream and Reality were the first monsters, heavily based off humans but lacking vital organs, flesh, and nerve endings. They cannot get sick, they cannot bleed, and they cannot feel physical pain. The perfect guardians. Nim brought them into this world, briefly explained their purpose, their abilities and the importance of guarding the tree....then left shortly after. The first and last time the twins have ever seen their mother.
For a few years things were fine, the twins guarded the tree, the two only having each other. They crew close and nearly codependent over time. Dream was the dreamer, it's in his name. The hopeful wide eyed idealist. Reality was the grounded and serious one. The two words together in perfect harmony, but all good things must come to an end. Humans has gained word of the magical tree and the unique creatures that guarded it, they sought to understood the strange creatures. Dream welcomed them with open arms, Reality was less approachable. The human villagers loved and adored Dream, but had failed to understand Reality. When they learned he was the cause of all negative feelings inadverently or otherwise it was all down hill from there. Dream was praised, respected, and even worshipped.
Reality was shunned, feared, mocked and belittled. The bad omen. They had started to call him "Nightmare" as a result, to them that was all he would be. A Nightmare. Reality hid mistreatment from his brother, not wishing to cause trouble and assuming the poor treatment would end on it's own accord. Instead it only grew worse, Reality was frequently beaten. He could feel no pain. It did not make their hatred sting any less. He was a guardian but he never defended himself, he was told to protect the tree and nothing else. They were never after the apples. They just wanted to hurt him. This mistreatment would continue for several years, the wedge between the siblings growing.
Reality started to develop a grudge not just against the villagers but against his own brother, he had never told Dream what happened however it says a lot Dream failed to notice. This wedge grew and Reality turned against his brother more with every day, by the time Dream had noticed it had been far too late. After a nasty beating that resulting in Reality losing his left eye... he had finally snapped. He went to the tree of feelings and started eating the black apples, the negative energy from each one giving him a natural power boost but left endless harm on his psyche. The villagers had called him Nightmare and he has decided to make that name a Reality.
Villagers killed and Dream likely would have joined them, but it seemed even with a new title and denouncing his brother claiming to conquer this world then move onto the next... he still couldn't stomach the idea of killing his first friend and only family. Dream was confused and caught off guard by his brothers new power surge and drastic change in apperance, was struck with a force of pure negative power. Not enough to kill but to greatly injure him and to avoid killing his brother....Nightmare turned him into stone. It was believed Dream would stay there forever but five hundred later Dream would return.
Reawoken and weakened, Dream would wake up to find his world a ruined wasteland. Everything dead or corrupted. Dream would come to find that his brother was true to his word, after bringing their own home to ruin Nightmare would travel across many different worlds. Conquering everything and anything, enslaving hundreds and killing thousands. Nightmare made it clear, submit to him or perish.
Dream ever the hopeful optimist hopes to redeem his brother but seeing the harm he is doing, he has decided his love for his sibling will not stop him from doing the right thing and freeing those from him.
