Apellow
Stats
Apellow is a super friendly and cheerful dream sheep. He keeps an optimistic attitude and doesn't let anything bring him down. Even when things are bad, he'll keep a smile on his face. He's an excellent team player and cooperates well with others. He is a determinator and refuses to back down from a challenge. He is intelligent and creative, often thinking outside of the box and using his powers in ways others wouldn't expect. With enough time, he'll figure out a solution to his problems.
Apellow is compassionate and loving towards others and will go out of his way to comfort people. He gladly accepts and offers hugs, and he'll let people squeeze him to ease stress. He'll stick by his friends for hours on end and be a shoulder to cry on. He has a soft spot for children and is very patient. He'll sing lullabies and other songs with his soft, melodic voice to calm himself and others.
Formerly a lost soul, Apellow found himself wandering for a very long time, until he accidentally got dragged into becoming a reaper for this world. He specializes in dealing with the souls of companions and children. He does his job pretty well, despite his powers and appearance. In fact, his powers and appearance help him out. His supervisor and good friend is Jack.
Like Jack, Apellow has no memories of his death or past, but he is still seeking answers to this day. His quest sometimes goes on the backburner, though, with his current job and all. He's found more things to worry about in the present. Over time, he's found that not knowing has bothered him less and less.
Apellow currently resides in another plane of existence where the reapers and souls hang out. The entrance is literally a door that stands at the top of the mountains. It is a well-hidden magical entrance that can only be accessed by the reapers and, with permission, a select few others. He appears in the physical world whenever he has to get a job done.

Design Notes
- Apellow's cloud markings don't have to be exact!
(If you can't do the overlay, feel free to simplify and/or wing it.) - His default eyes can be drawn however you like. (EX: swirls, multiple rings, a single pupil, etc.)
- His pupils turn into stars when he detects someone having a dream.
- He is entirely plush materials with no sharp points; his horns and hooves are a soft smooth fabric.
- He's basically a pillow pet and can unfold his body into a flat pillow shape.
Trivia
- The tag on Apellow's hind leg reads "For my darling," in cursive with the rest of the marker writing faded away.
- Apellow can track and manipulate dreams.
- He is more likely to visit a person's room if they have a dreamcatcher or glow-in-the-dark stars.
Nothing to see here!
Apellow is a dream sheep whose soul is currently bound to a plush body. He has purple eyes with swirled yellow pupils, yellow sclera, and two large curled off-white ram horns. His soft plush body is made up of light pink and purple wooly fluff with fleece for his face, ears, and legs. He has a faded cloud-like pattern with star markings across his wool and an off-white underbelly and blaze marking on his face. Despite the pointy appearance, his horns, hooves, and teeth are still somewhat soft and aren't sharp to the touch. They are made up of some flexible and firm material, but they aren't made of hard plastic.
There is a tag on Apellow's hind leg that reads "For my darling," in cursive with the rest of the marker writing faded away. He keeps it on and has never tried to remove it for reasons.
Apellow has a small velcro strap hidden under his belly fluff that can unstrap and allow him to flatten out into a more pillow-like shape. If he isn't storing something away with his magic, he will carry stuff, like his foldable scythe, in his body for easier access and safekeeping.
When using his dream powers, Apellow's pupils change to a yellow star shape instead of the typical rings. They stay that way while he walks through a person's dreams and until he deactivates his powers.
If injured, Apellow can simply sew himself back together. All of his "wounds" eventually mend back on their own. As long as his soul remains intact, he is more or less immortal.
Apellow usually wears little cloud, star, and moon-shaped charms on his horns and sometimes a bowtie and cape. He has quite a variety for his bowties and capes, since he collects them. Many of them are actually gifts from both adults and children that he used to visit.
Unknown to most, Apellow also carries a scythe, because he works as a reaper. It has the appearance of a foldable small plastic toy but cuts just as well as a real blade. Though he's still not a fan of sharp objects, he's fine with his scythe, because it belongs to him and him only. He rarely uses it as a weapon; it is mainly used to cut a soul's ties to the physical plane so they can move on.
Apellow has the ability to track down and manipulate dreams. He can walk through people's dreams but cannot directly interact with the person themself. Apellow himself is invisible to the dreamer while his powers are activated. He is able to summon and introduce new elements, objects, and even other individuals, as long as they are also present. His dream powers also work on daydreams.
If there are too many active dreams nearby, Apellow will be overloaded and suffer from headaches.
Thankfully, Apellow is not the cruel type to introduce a person's fears into their dreams, but he does have the power to do so if he chooses.
Because a soul usually cannot communicate with the living anymore, Apellow uses his power to help loved ones reunite in a dream for a final goodbye and to help a soul move on.
Apellow has a few other magic skills but rarely uses them outside of dreams.
- Apellow can track and manipulate dreams, including daydreams.
- While in dreams, his magic powers become infinite and much stronger.

- He can summon and introduce new elements, objects, and other individuals.*
*The individual must be there in person to enter the dream as well.

- The illusions look and feel visually real to the target but cannot physically harm people.

- if he isn't working any reaper jobs at the moment, he goes to a random town during night and helps people fall asleep
- he wards corruption away so he's become a bit of a children's story
- people say that if a child is good, the dream sheep will come visit their dreams
- is drawn to dreamcatchers and glow-in-the-dark things, especially stars
- more likely to visit if someone has any of these, so children who believe will decorate their room accordingly
- Apellow might be a toy, but he doesn't appreciate being used as a chew toy

Apellow's superior in the reaper division and the one who taught him how to use magic. Apellow admires Jack's skills and carefree attitude. They both originally bonded over being dead with no memories. When they work together, he has to put up with all the shenanigans from both Jack and Hallow, but it's better than being stuck indoors all day.
Read more...After being mistaken for a lost soul and getting dragged through the "door," Apellow had found himself pleading his case to the head reaper, not wanting to be sent away. Luckily, the reapers were busy with an unnatural surge of souls on the overworld, so the head reaper decided to put Apellow in Jack's care to figure out what to do later. Apellow found himself serving as a reaper-in-training after that.
For the longest time, Jack was the only person Apellow could talk to regarding the reapers' jobs and the afterlife. Except, Jack was also very bad at explaining. He realized that they were similar in a way, with both of them being souls who had no past memories or knowledge to how either of them died. They ended up bonding over being two wandering souls.
Jack has always been there for Apellow, for better or worse. Teasing and messing around aside, Apellow looks up to them for advice and sees them as a very skilled magic user. After he got his own scythe, they taught him how to polish a blade properly and how to use magic to handle it.
On his first job assignment, Apellow had expected Jack to make it difficult, but, to his surprise, Jack was mature about it and kept their distance. They let him figure it out on his own.
After witnessing how Jack really behaves when it comes to fighting and dealing with difficult souls, Apellow has come to respect them more and doesn't question their skills as a reaper. He admires them.
Though, Apellow still doesn't get how carefree Jack could be about their whole situation - how they aren't concerned about finding out who they are or how they died. "What does it matter if we're dead?" was their reply the last time he asked. He secretly wishes he could be as carefree as Jack is about the whole "being dead" thing.
Jack's demonic companion and, technically, Apellow's co-worker, even if he's not classed as a reaper. Apellow has made a not to never follow instructions from Hallow, because Hallow sucks at reaper things. When Jack is absent, Hallow takes their place and follows him around instead. He sometimes wonders if Jack keeps Hallow around for the extra boost in magic powers.
Read more...Apellow doesn't have much to say about Hallow, really. He does know that Hallow isn't what he seems and that he has a "true name" that nobody else besides Jack is allowed to speak.
Apellow found Kaltheos intimidating at first, but that quickly faded once he got to know him better. They talk sometimes, when the trio visit Theos' secret grove in the "deadlands." He feels sad for Theos and can't imagine what it'd be like to live alone after losing everyone you love. Apellow has found himself wondering if he himself ever had any loved ones before he lost his memories, too.
