Alom

Appearance

Height

5'5"

Body

Slender and soft, but vaguely masculine. Pure white, with black blotches like inky shadows flowing over his skin. Sometimes a cloud of inky droplets, sometimes missing head or limbs.

Face

Malleable. Mouth doesn't always move when they speak. Features often oddly spaced or shaped.

Eyes

Cloudy white

Hair

Short, dark. Looks gelled because it isn't actually hair, but thin strands of goop.

Clothes

Suspenders are neat. Prefers grayscale clothes, though they'll wear whatever is to hand.

Other

To unawakened he looks incredibly pale, pale-eyed and splattered with ink. Missing limbs are explained as either missing or a trick of perspective. Their base form just appears to be a strange shadow. Their voice is a patchwork of different voices and sounds, with too many accents to pick out one that's specifically theirs.

Personality

Listener - He doesn't really understand how to be proactive in life. He reacts. Drawn to strong emotions, they feel no call to bring relief, but they will listen, and let themselves be lead.

Innocent - Untarnished by what they witness, but little sense of danger, and a lack of learning from experience. They don't divide emotions into positive and negative. And they aren't hurt by horror.

Uncalculating - Honest in the way a nightmare is honest. They don't always know when they should or shouldn't speak. Open, he doesn't keep secrets, but he won't always tell the truth directly, often using figurative language.

Additional Information - Hard time discerning deception in others. They don't deal well with social cues. Aside from what he's gleaned from dreams, he has no experience with living in the waking world.

Core Advantage

An amorphous body. Their sense organs are the shadowy patches on their body and they can open any part of their body as a mouth to speak. Naturally they are a vaguely humanoid shaped cloud of black and white inky goo droplets, but they can clump together into a more visually human body. Every part of their body is still goopy, whatever its appearance, including teeth, nails, and hair.

Core Disadvantage

Anyone can sense when they lie.

Bonus

Can imprint what they see onto a solid surface via touch, like painting a Polaroid with their fingers. Works like ink from a permanent marker.

Nerfs and Flavor

Dispersion - Being immersed in any liquid threatens to disperse them. And rain is erosive.

Current Situation

Occupation

Freelance Artist (Unemployed)

Housing

Homeless

Wealth

None. They don't need money for food. Clothes they rely on charity, theft, or illusion.

History

Date of Birth

December 10th

Place of Birth

Dreamworld

- Born fully grown from the dreams, the nightmares of an angel trapped close to the void, close to the place where dreams live. They followed as she escaped, as she made a deal with them. A child of them both for a spark of life from her.

- He gave her her child. A seed connecting him to the waking world. He could not raise this child, though he watched his dreams. He was only a new being himself.

- Years later he is given a task. As one who already has a string attached from the waking world, he is to explore it, scout it out, and hopefully discover ways to improve the collection of emotions and dream building of their world.

- Following their child's dreams, they end up in the dreams of Polaris Pass, and spend some time studying these dreams as research. A handful of years later and they are ready to enter the waking world.
