General info --------------------- A nightmare is a typically once living soul that is now a demonic shadowy creature commanded by Reaper. these creatures are not always sadistic and murderous, but do have a reputation for it. The Nightmare's realm is called "The Void", and is also considered by some to be Hell or the Underworld The Curse -------------------- The curse is the nightmares' power to kill with just a touch. this is very painful, but not only for the victims. The nightmare will feel their lust for blood increase. The activation of the curse does not count as a satisfaction for the blood lust. If this blood lust isn't lowered, the nightmare will perish for a second time, not chance of revival. The Guardian's Shield ------------------------------- Every Nightmare has the ability to use the Guardian's Shield once. If the council of nightmares decide not to give the creature a half life (which we will get into later) Any Nightmare is able to call upon the Guardian's Shield. The creature will be revived, but it's soul is now connected to it's Guardian. They can share thoughts and the Faith (the creature protected by the Guardian) can see the Guardian even when they become invisible. The only downfall of this is if the pair are seperated for too long, they will begin to grow weaker, and weaker. Half Lives ---------------------- Sometimes, instead of making the creature a Nightmare, the council will return the soul of a creature to it's body. The often sad truth is that half lives often go mad because they can see, and hear the Nightmares everywhere.
"I do have a code, and I plan to follow it" -Phantom Phantom is actually my first ever created nightmare and I love them with all my freaking lil soul. Is backstory is depressing so maybe ill put that all somewhere else. Unlike most nightmares that are purely chaotic, Phantom does have his own code Phantom's Code -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Don't take pleasure in your kills, for you have suffered as they have. 2) Protect your Faith, even at the cost of your own life. 3) Don't kill if it is only for sport. 4) Reveal yourself only to your Faith and close friends of the Faith. 5) Rules 3 and 1 are off the table if your victims are harming your Faith 6) Give up on hope of seeing your family, because they are likely not to see you. 7) Do not ever, no matter the situation, but any creature that is young, weak, or elderly in any danger, or you shall earn your rightful place in the pits of the Void. 8) What Reaper says, shouldn't always be listened to.
