“I always knew where I stood; I tried to be so good; Look at me now, I don't know how, but I'm a real hero” DROPPED APPLICATION Hello! I go by Xavier or Marcus, and I’m typically only on this account, @RedRain__WhiteFlower. I’m an artist and I write a little, but the majority of my time is spent suffering at school lol. “No hiding in the shadows, time to strut; I'm gonna make a splash to make this cut; You've got to believe that I am free, so no hesitation” I’m applying for Dream! I love the design and the theme fits what I’m thinking for his story and personality. “Picture your planet in disharmony” I want Dream because I’d like to get motivation to roleplay back with a unique character and interesting story, and his design is unique as well. I’d also like to be able to roleplay with active family members and be able to forge relationships between the characters, which my characters haven’t ever had the chance to, really. “Jump into the night 'cause I can smell the trouble; Don't you miss the fight, just get there at the double; I gotta make a difference, I'm moving with a purpose, I'm feeling my inertia, inertia, inertia” Simplified Personality: +] Honorable, Disciplined, Altruistic =] Stoic, Patient, Responsible -] Reactive, Judgmental, Overbearing Detailed Personality: Dream is a cat who seeks justice and truth, holding himself to high morals and honor. He judges everyone to his standards, and won’t stand for letting evil go. His reactive nature leads him to never back down from a fight against the bad in the world, for better or for worse. He’ll help anyone as long as they are a genuinely good cat. He shows little emotion on the regular, but a good friend can get him to be vulnerable with his feelings and thoughts. He can be overly protective, even overbearing, towards cats he cares about, as he doesn’t want them hurt. “Stubbornly, I will believe, I will believe (Keep dreaming); Stubbornly, I will believe, I will believe (Keep dreaming)” Likely future gender, pronouns, sexuality, etc: Male, he/him, gay, and demi! “Is it my turn to be the hero? 'Cause I got to be the hero; 'Cause I got to be the hero; 'Cause I got to be the hero” Extra: He’s kinda like superhero slash super emotionless seeming but actually cinnamon roll guardian guy in my not so clear words. Anyway, he likes butterflies, flowers, birds, snow, icicles, cotton, and other soft slash pretty things but that’s what I can think of right now. “Didn't you know it's enough just to deserve that love? Without a crowd, without a stage, you’re still a real hero” Past characters: Mintbreeze, Woodfish, Peonywillow, Jinli, etc lol Activity on weekdays: 4-7 Activity on weekends: 7-9 Research: Prosopagnosia Prosopagnosia is a neurological disorder often referred to as “face blindness.” It is characterized by an inability to recognize faces, even if they belong to someone familiar, or an inability to recognize facial expressions and cues. Dream has associative Prosopagnosia, one of two types of Prosopagnosia. Associative Prosopagnosia causes someone to not be able to remember who faces belong to, and typically rely on things like clothing, voice, behavior, and even hair to recognize people rather than their face. Feelings of anxiety and/or shame are common in people with this condition, as it’s perceived as rude to not recognize people. Having Prosopagnosia is a daily challenge, as recognizing people in unexpected circumstances can be even more difficult than normal. Prosopagnosia can be congenital or acquired. Only in extreme cases do faces appear actually blurred, and people can see parts of the face but not feel they belong to someone they know. Sometimes, faces may be able to be recognized if the person is seen often and person with the condition is familiar with their mannerisms. Dream will recognize others by fur color, patterns, voices, and accessories. He doesn’t much care that others may see it as rude that he doesn’t quickly recognize them after only a couple meetings, and he doesn’t dwell on it. Dream will likely be able to recognize his family and close friends after spending lots of time with them. “I'm gonna be the last line of defense, I'II blow it if I lack the confidence; l've got to believe that there's a need for my whole existence” Roleplay Example: Dream rolled around in his comfy moss nest, reluctant to get up just yet. Eventually, however, he opened his eyes, just to see the strange and unfamiliar faces of his family. Inside, he felt a pang of panic; He sat up and looked again, searching for patterns in their features, connecting them with colors and stripes, spots, whatever made them stand apart. He felt guilty for not knowing. ‘Sunset is yellow. Fritillary has a split pelt. Camellia is fluffy and red. Quartz is orange and has swirly stripes. Wuthering looks a little like me.’ He recited. ‘Mama is pinkish and has spots.” Credits: Dream design - Lyrics - INERTIA (Hiroyuki Sawano) Art - Me
