thought i'd remix so i can lay it out better! :) ➴ name: haze (often referred to as hazy) identity: gender non-conforming pronouns: they/them age: timeless sexuality: aroace occupation: a god - protector of dreams status: laying on the clouds, watching over the dreams of every species mood: being the protector of dreams, haze is always in a state of fatigue. they spend most of their time asleep, and when they are awake they are pretty quiet and drowsy backstory: haze's parent, the god of resting, had two children, haze and eve. for a while, their little family was quite happy, living on a little planet far away from other civilisations. being a god, haze's parent drew their power from belief and prayers from those who believed in them. but one day, the god of rest started to grow weak, more tired than their usual restful self, and along with them, the planet they lived on started to slowly weaken too. plantlife and wildlife started to die, cutting off food sources for haze and eve. haze and eve were confused and scared for their parent and for their planet. they tried the best with what they had, but it wasn't enough. then one day, eve fell weak too. haze was left by themselves, trying to find enough food to feed all of them. a few days later, haze's parent called them over. they thought they had figured out what was causing them to grow weak. they explained with difficultly that them and the planet were only strong and alive when the belief in them was strong and alive. so, something must have severed that link; other species were not putting their full belief into the god of rest. they explained further that they thought it was because they were scared - the other species were scared of resting and sleeping, because it was so bleak and dark, with no certainty their soles would be guided back to the waking world again. they had nothing to light their path when their eyes were closed. haze understood, the believers were scared that they would never wake up again because during sleep they saw nothing but black. haze's parent continued weakly - if them and haze's sibling eve, along with the planet, was to survive, then their had to be some sort of 'promise' during sleep, that would ensure they would wake again. to restore their faith in the god of rest and its properties. in order to do this, someone had to watch over everyone's sleep. ensure they would feel guided and safe during periods of rest. project little pictures of hope and happiness into their minds while they slept - a promise that they won't become lost in the darkness before they wake. a protector of dreams. and that someone had to be haze. but haze was scared - they would have to leave their sibling, parent and planet... forever, right? yes, that would be the catch. the god of rest was willing to save everyone from the fear of sleep, but at the same time sacrifice their child to watch over their dreams for eternity. haze had no choice, they wanted to save their family and planet. they left at once, travelling off their planet, up and up and up into the empty black space. further and further up, until they reached the infinite blanket of clouds, at the top of the universe. with the promise of their parent and siblings safety and recovery, they entered the clouds with the curse of never being able to leave. now, a timeless god that watches everyone's dreams, haze lies amongst the clouds sleeping and guiding sleeping sole's through their rest and back to the waking world. they often think about their planet and their family, comforted that they are thriving and safe, far far away in the black space deep beneath them. the protector of dreams sleep is filled with happy memories of their childhood. ➴ thank you for this opportunity! the design is beautiful and i loved writing this little (tragic) idea :') art/design by writing/ideas by me
