JACK DAVIES
& RAMRETH.

 .

important.

This is a dual muse, and Ramreth and Jack usually come as a package deal, unless plotted otherwise (e.g. before Jack makes the deal with Ramreth.)

This muse is heavily inspired by A Nightmare on Elm Street, so disclaimer that the idea of dream demons and their goals is not of my own creation. However, the characters Ramreth and Jack Davis very much is of my own creation, and while I am strongly inspired by the concept of A Nightmare on Elm Street, do not expect any of the canon of that universe to actually apply to my muses. Again, it's the concept I'm inspired by, not the actual canon.

biography.

Born to Frank and Helen Davies, Jack Davies' childhood was filled with pain and torment. During his first year alive, his mother attempted to kill her newborn son. Jack's father walked in just in time to "save" their sons life, but in a blind rage, Frank killed Helen. Being the owner of a farm, Frank fed his wife's remains to his pigs, and whatever was left after the pigs had fed, was ground up and mixed in with the fertilizers for his acres. Though Frank had saved his son from death's grasp, it was not out of any love for the child, as Jack would continue be abused at his father's hands, the severity only growing the older he became, along with an increased isolation from the rest of the world, as his father forced him to learn how to help out and tend to the farm.

With a complete lack of love, affection or safety growing up, it severely damaged Jack's psyche. The repeated pain he was put through left him practically incapable of experiencing positive feelings, and with an increasing urge toward violence in order to obtain power and control. After all, violence was all he knew. But he couldn't help but dream of the day when it would no longer be him on the receiving end of it. Where he would be the one to carry out the punishments instead.

One day, a couple of years into Jack's adulthood, during one of Frank's verbal assaults, he revealed what had happened to Jack's mother, leaving out the part where she had tried to kill Jack first, then threatened that he would do the same to Jack if he did not behave. Trouble was, Frank was getting older, and Jack was in his peak years, and had a lot of bottled up hatred towards his father. So, to overpower him was easy. Killing him easier still. He didn't even need to come up with a plan to get rid of the body. His father had just told him of the perfect way to do it before Jack had driven a pitchfork through his head.

Since that day, Jack took over as the owner of the Davies Family's Farm. As this was before modern times, the police never caught wind of what had happened on the farm, nor of the crimes that would continue to be committed there, because Jack would not stop after killing his father. Instead, he continued to lure his victims onto the farm, where he would lock them in his cellar, torture them for weeks before killing them, disposing of their bodies the same way he had killed his father. The same way his father had killed his mother.

Skip forward about two decades, Jack had killed 37 people, and it was his 38th that would officially put him on the suspect list. And it was in this moment of desperation that he first met Ramreth. A nightmare demon, who offered him a deal; it would help him be cleared of any suspicion and ensure that he would be able to continue his twisted work for however long he desired, as he would be granted immortality and power beyond his imagination, if he agreed to merge with Ramreth.

Jack was hesitant at first, wondering if he was simply losing his sanity under the pressure of being under suspicion by the police, but eventually agreed to the deal after Ramreth proved it's existence without doubt. After merging with Ramreth, Jack gains immortality and the power to control dreams / nightmares, and if he kills someone in said dream, they also die in real life. This opened up new doors for Jack to kill without having to worry about leaving behind evidence, as he could enter their dreams and kill them however he wished there, while physically being away from them in the real world, leaving nothing for the police to find.

Ramreth does have an ulterior motive with all of this, which is to break down the barrier between the dream world and the real world, but in order to do so, he needs someone from the real world to shed enough blood and cause enough death in the dream world, which is where Jack comes in, serving as an agent for Ramreth's cause.
