✥ Shh listen I'll tell you my dreams:
Aaron grew up very normally. He went to college for his gen-eds and started dating his late wife. After college he proposed and joined the police academy.
The following year he and his wife got married. He started his rookie career at the local PD that year too.
Years went by and Aaron became a detective. His wife gave birth to a daughter a few months later. They named her Emily. Aaron adores his daughter and will do anything for her. The next four years the family's life was normal until Emily started getting severely sick. He was on a case when his wife called and told him. They took her to the hospital, but they were told it was just food poisoning. Relieved they took Emily home, but she did not get better. In fact she got worst. His wife tried to get him to stay home with them, but he could not. Two weeks later he came home earlier then expected and had not called his wife to let her know. He walked in to see his wife pouring bleach in a bowl of soup. Without thinking he ran over towards her and knocked the bowl over in a temper. He was grateful that he still had his handcuffs on him and cuffed his wife to the fridge. While his wife was in a daze he ran to Emily's room and grabbed her. He carried his daughter in his arms and looked down to see how pale she was. His wife was no longer in her daze was screaming in the kitchen about how it was the only way. Aaron did not want to know what she meant. He felt betrayed and disgusted by her. He took Emily to the ER and called the police to take his wife away. He divorced his wife who is now in an insane asylum. It's been a year since all that as happened. Emily is still in the hospital, but she is getting better. Aaron started being unable to sleep. He noticed an add looking for people to test a new drug he decided to partake in the test. Now he is stuck in his dreams with other people, and all he wants to get back to his daughter.

✥ To make me come call out:
Lisa Yajima

✥ I can be both wise and foolish:
21

✥ Shh listen I'll tell you my dreams:
Lisa grew up in a low income family with both parents and her older brother. When she was 14, one of

her father's business deals came through and her family moved up. They moved to a new

neighborhood and started Lisa at a boarding school, thinking it was the best choice for her. However,

by sending her away, it only distanced her from her family. As they continued to get wealthier, they

payed less and less attention to her, once even forgetting to come and get her for Christmas break.

When she was 17, both of her parents were murdered in a robbery. Since the rest of the family lived in

Japan and was estranged, Lisa's only family is her brother Xavier. She lived with him until last year,

when he was arrested. She is currently in school majoring in psychology, living on campus. When Lisa

saw the ad to test the new drug, she thought it would be a good opportunity to make some money.

Now she is stuck.

✥ Well since asked I'll tell you more about me: Lisa

was a loner all throughout school with only a few close friends, which took a drain on her social skills.

She prefers to do things by herself, but hates being alone and can sometimes seem clingy. Once in

high school, she was locked in a closet for almost 2 days and is severely claustrophobic. Lisa gets

bored easily and is always looking for something to do. She can be very hot-headed and easily jumps

to conclusions. She does what she wants, since she has plenty of money to spend and no one to tell

her how to spend it. Since, Lisa wasn't around her mother very often, she learned all she knows about

dating from the girls in her boarding school and is still a newbie in that department.

Ashley "Ash" Masters

✥ I can be both wise and foolish:
27

✥ Shh listen I'll tell you my dreams:
"Why is this necessary?" Ashley asked with a frustrated sigh.

"It's just part of the screening process Ms. Masters." The man sitting across from her said patiently. "You said you're having problems sleeping. Why is that?"

"I have nightmares." The statement was to the point, and obviously an attempt to shut down the conversation.

"Ms. Masters, your file is fairly straight forward. Your father was trying to make it as a musician. He would play at the bar where he worked to pay the bills, which is where he met your mother, an undercover cop. They were married a two months later, and you and your twin brother were born seven months after that. Normal, happy family life, until your mother was shot and killed on the job when you were nine. Your father then developed a habit of drinking, which later led to a drug problem. At sixteen you and your brother started working at the bar to help your father with money problems due to his drug habit. The only reason you could work there was your father's sister owned it. When you were eighteen, your father was arrested for drugs. Your brother was married at twenty, after following in your mother's footsteps, and became a cop. His son is now five years old. Your brother was killed two months ago, also because of his job. You're currently living with and dating a doctor," he paused to check the name in the file. "Owen West. You work at your aunt's bar, and as a waitress at a diner, both part time. None of that tells me what the problem is."

For a moment, she sat in silence wondering if the man in front of her was an idiot. "I've seen a lot of death, and some really terrible things. Sometimes, most of the time, they make it hard to sleep."

✥ Well since asked I'll tell you more about me: Smart, swift, loyal, fierce, blunt, very up and down, impatient, often secretive.

N o v a REMIX

✥ To make me come call out:
Edwin Justin David Smith, and if I know you, you can just call me either Edwin or Eddy, but for most, Mr. Smith is just perfectly fine.

✥ I can be both wise and foolish:
Twenty Six

✥ Shh listen I'll tell you my dreams:
Life wasn't pretty hard for Edwin. He had lived the rich kid lifestyle ever since he was an infant. Since the 1990s, he was given whatever he had wanted. He was spoiled in a sense to which he had the mindset that he was some sort of prince. And in a sense he was. Since young, he had gone to the most prestigious schools in the country. By the time he was only around fifteen years old, he was already making major decisions as a successor to his family's company and becoming a ruthless liason in business and economics.

He had gone to an Ivy League university, studying day and night to gain his Bachelor's and then going back to get his Master's. But regardless of that, Edwin had always managed to find time to put his social life into play. He was an elite. Always managing to score V.I.P. with a new woman on his shoulder every night. Outside of the work space, Edwin is pretty much as arrogant and confident as they come.

Though a unanimous decision, it was decided that Edwin would become his family's company's chairman, and major stockholder of the company's stocks. After all, everyone was pretty proud of him, save the couple of his family members who wished to be in his position, but Edwin was a shrewd man and he would not give up his position for anything in the world.

Of late, competition has been rising with other companies, and Edwin has been working day and night to make sure that his company stays on top. Seeing how he wasn't getting enough rest, a friend suggested him to become the product of research in an advertisement suggested in the paper. After much persuading, he finally gave in and took the drug for the research to which he fell asleep and landed in a world with many different people. After realizing he can't wake up, he is now searching for any exit to go back to his company and his home again.

✥ Well since asked I'll tell you more about me: Depending upon the situation, many people see me in different lights. My family members and friends see me as a humorous, light-hearted, charismatic type of guy who would be the ideal friend. But in a business like mindset, I can be ruthless, rude, and I have quite the short fuse. I'm terribly possessive and when I am irritated I tend to snap at people. But when I am angered, it's a completely different story. I blow up. I'm violent. I'm sadistic. I'm seeing red.

But for the most part, I'm a carefree, light-hearted guy, under a lot of stress. I can be the perfect gentleman...unless you piss me off first.

✥We all have our dream lovers:
Heterosexual, but that doesn't mean that a couple of guys haven't caught my interest.

✥Oh just so you know: Surprisingly enough Edwin doesn't like that much alcohol. He drinks, but not that much. However smoking? Completely different situation. Edwin has to have at least a cig or three almost every hour. It's an addiction, and a stupid habit he's trying to break, but can't seem to do so.

✥ To make me come call out:
Jensen Warner

✥ I can be both wise and foolish:
23

✥ Shh listen I'll tell you my dreams:
Jensen has never had a family…well at least not since she was 8. Jensen’s father left when her mother became pregnant and her mother was killed in a car accident when she and her twin brother were 3. The only memory she has of her mother comes from a photograph that she carries with her at all times. After her mother’s death Jensen and her brother were sent to live with their grandmother but two years later she passed away as well leaving. Because of these two deaths Jensen has a strong fear that anyone she gets close to will die so she is extremely reluctant to form any sort of attachment. Having no other family she and her brother, Marcus, were placed in foster care. Though they tried desperately to stay together Marcus was adopted a few days after their 8th birthday by a family who only wanted a boy and soon lost all contact. From that point on she was alone. She spent the rest of childhood and adolescence was spent being moved from home to home, reinforcing the idea that one should never grow to attached to anyone or thing.
When Jensen was 16 her future wasn’t looking too bright until a teacher really took an interest in her and pushed her to be better. She was the first person Jensen had let herself feel close to since Marcus. Under her guidance Jensen graduated high school and was accepted to Columbia. She just finished her degrees in photography and journalism.

✥ Well since asked I'll tell you more about me: Jensen is a passionate and loving person but is so guarded that she can come off cold and unfeeling. She grew up having to be completely self-sufficient so it is very difficult for her to ask for help. She has a tenacious will and is very honest, though will rarely speak up. She has a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world, though she doesn’t see much in herself.

✥ To make me come call out:
Mauve Lexi Young; Some refer to her as "Ghost", though those who are closest to her know her simply as Mauve

✥ I can be both wise and foolish:
21

✥ Shh listen I'll tell you my dreams:
Mauve bore no ordinary childhood by any means. She was born with a rare skin disease, giving her a strong aversion to sunlight; A rarity even back before The Great Bliss. Her parents were forced to stock up on Vitamin D complex pills and keep her indoors during the daytime. Night was the only period during which she could go outside and attempt to play like normal children. Only normal children did not play in the dark.

Her parents worked two jobs each and needed rest during the only hours which she could be outside. She slept while they worked, and they slept while she played; Mauve grew up in a lonely existence. Her only friends were a German Shepard named "Gordon" and the laptop in her bedroom. As a result she became antisocial, but also an ingenious computer whiz. Over time, she developed a notable online reputation and was dubbed "Ghost". Though no one knew who she was, how old she was, or even what gender she was, society in all its technical facets came to recognize her as one of the foremost digital experts in the world. In six years she graduated from several online colleges and was accredited with two doctorates.

Realizing her parents were on the verge of bankruptcy due to her medical expenses, Mauve (despite much protest from her mother) left their custody when she turned nineteen years of age and obtained an apartment in the middle of the metropolis. Though her skin had grown slightly more accustomed to the sun's rays, she had a home office with two lucrative jobs: one as a software and program developer for a scientific research institute, the other a shady occupation as a black market hacker. Gordon had died by then, so she truly was alone.

Her already bizarre slumber schedule became interrupted by a permanent insomnia. For some odd psychological reason —mostly her loneliness, she assumed— she could not sleep during the daylight hours as she used to. So she began working during the day and wandering the streets of the city aimlessly at night. Careful observation told her that she was not the only one suffering from such a strange neurological ailment.

Then she found what she thought was a temporary solution. The research institute she was employed by offered to make her one of the first test subjects of a revolutionary sleep inducing drug called "Collideascope". Wary about the idea, she did her own research on the drug, only to dig up nothing of fatal importance. Vagueness did not deter her, though. In a notion of uncharacteristic intrepidness, she signed into the test program.

It did not take her long after that time, however, to find that getting out of "dreamland" was going to be much more difficult than getting in. Yet inexplicably, something feels familiar about the place...

✥ Well since asked I'll tell you more about me: Mauve tends to be rather shy and taciturn, avoiding human interactions as much as she is able. Intuitive, logical, and socially deficient to a fault, she is the epitome of what the people in society negatively refer to as a "nerd". Despite the enormous sway her brain holds on her conscious, she has a sensitive heart and is keen to the emotions of others.

✥We all have our dream lovers:
Mauve believes she is heterosexual, but has not had enough social interaction to back up this theory.

✥ You know the song right? Here are a few of my favorite things:

✔ Reason, things that make sense
✔ Solitude, being out of the social limelight
✔ Nature, especially anywhere near the ocean (though she has never been there)
✔ Observing, people's emotions are interesting and sometimes difficult to fathom

✥ You can't like everything now can you:

✘ Large crowds, too many eyes staring
✘ Irrationality, events/decisions that have no logical explanation
✘ Negative emotions, for she feels the weight of them more than most
✘ Depravity, when the evil of human nature knows no bounds

✥I am such a dreamer:
Dreamer

✥My word are filled with such colors:
Logic Surveillance Curiosity

✥Oh just so you know:
Mauve feels a strange psychological connection to the natives of Nod, though she knows not why. And secretly, in her heart-of-hearts and though she would never admitted, she desperately desires companionship.

✥ I'm a reflection of the actions of:
xX W i l d Rendezvous Xx

✥ To make me come call out:
Infamously, he is known as "The Trickster" or simply as "Him" or "He"; None but himself know his real name.

✥ I can be both wise and foolish:
He is without age, for in the minds of most He does not exist except for in their minds. And if he did have an age, why would He tell you?

✥ Shh listen I'll tell you my dreams:
Doriantl Grey (for yes, that was his "birth"-given name when the universe willed Him into being) was the one of the firstborn, that being the initial time when other creatures came into existence shortly after Lilith and the High Councilor of Nod. The High Councilor himself created Him yet, unlike Queen Lithia's Mara folk, He could not be controlled, guided, or nurtured in any way by his creator. He bore a strong will and powers of His own —almost as if He too were a creation of time itself like the two "siblings".

He witnessed the coming of humans. He beheld the Great Conflict and saw the Queen banished from the realm of dreams, into the shadows. He observed it all firsthand and was hurt by it; Something inside him during that time broke. Thus he became even less controllable than before. The wisdom He often offered (which both siblings ignored repeatedly) became cloaked in riddled speech. He became animatedly apathetic, not caring about Mara, Nodian, or human destiny in any form.

He vanishes only to reappear. He reappears only to vanish again. And behind all the masks and appearances He dons, no one can fathom what He is thinking. Some say He is like an outward conscience to test the will of the living. Others rumor that He is simply a fiend who functions secretly for Queen Lithia, or the High Councilor. All anyone knows for sure is that He is The Trickster of dreamland, and has taken a sudden interest in the new human visitors to Nod.

✥ Well since asked I'll tell you more about me: His moods are as various as his guises and they shift just as easily. He's a playfully spirited sort who enjoys provoking all kinds of thoughts in one's psyche: doubt, suspicion, self-reflection, and seemingly meaningless contemplations are just a few. Yet do not invoke his wrath! Rare though that is, doing so will give him cause to play many terrible schemes on you.

✥We all have our dream lovers:
No one is certain, but a few young women would surmise that he does have an inclination towards the female sex.

✥ You know the song right? Here are a few of my favorite things:

✔ Traversing
✔ Colorful, sometimes inconspicuous garb
✔ Enlightened people and adept conversationalists
✔ Mind games

✥ You can't like everything now can you:

✘ Conflict and chaos, such as the position taken between Mara and Nodians
✘ Drab personalities, those who constantly make wrong, selfish decisions, and those who comprehend his riddles
✘ Confinement
✘ Insults made at Him, whether direct or insinuated

✥I am such a dreamer:
Nodian

✥You can do almost anything in dreams:
He can alter His appearance at will. Not as changing His bone structure or anything super dramatic, but more similar to the transformation a theatrical performer will take. For example...

✥My word are filled with such colors:
Suggestion Sociable Snickering

✥Oh just so you know:
Gossipers tell that He has traveled to areas beyond Nod's borders. Perhaps even to the shadow lands.
