nightmare descriptions

Shattered Dreams - A bright young boy whose promising future was stolen from him by
the onset of schizophrenia in an environment that couldn't understand it. Seeing the world
around him crumble into dust from severe drought, his psyche became increasingly frayed,
as he retreated further and further into the fertile fields of his own mind. However, he is
also incredibly delicate in his mental state; it certainly won't take much for all ties to
his sanity to snap...


Twofold Malice: A cute face can hide terrible things. Treated more like a precious pet than
a child, he grew up accustomed to getting what he wanted. And if he didn't get it, well... why
not just take it? This sense of entitlement was allowed to fester, and turned the boy into a monster.
People became his toys, and he would do as he wished with them, emotionally and physically.
Life was a game, and oftentimes his toys wouldn't realize what they were dealing with until
it was too late...

Primal Fury: The first half of the splintered mind of a woman undergoing severe post-partum depression, this is the part of her that embraced her choice and tries to deny her apprehension entirely. A
representation of the animal lurking in the depths of every human soul, she is a simple creature,
ruled by instinct and the desire for pleasure. Despite her seemingly basic nature, she is still
something ancient and powerful.

Clockwork Conscience: The second half of the woman's shattered mind who saw her choice to have children as a betrayal of her earlier professionalism, it is a very artificial thing that transcends any baser human aspects like sexuality,  so much so that it truly has no gender. It is focused entirely on morality and perfection, analyzing and passing judgment on everything it comes across. It is also a force of retribution, seeking to eradicate anything that threatens it, or its host's, image. For this reason, it wishes to destroy the Primal Fury...

Pinned Radiance: A vibrant and perky young woman who just happened to have been assigned the wrong
body at birth. As she grew she slowly discovered who she really was, and the lovely girl within the
shell began to emerge... but sadly she soon found herself beaten down by societal pressures
around her. Even those who seemed sympathetic and caring refused to understand what she was really
going through. Like a butterfly sprawled on a pin, she became a defeated potential, trapped
in a glass case of expectations and never to fly...

Barbed Wire Seraph: A Roma boy whose hopes for a happy life were stolen as he was taken into the
worst atrocity in the 20th century. His time in the horrible work camp shattered his young soul.
When he was finally freed, he tried at first to fill the void in him with empty pleasures, but
still the pain held him back. Before much longer he could no longer take it, and cast away
his doubts and fears, taking the very symbol of what had made him feel so trapped as his own personal weapon.
He would reach out, fight, build a world where this would never happen again... and destroy anyone
who tried to stop him.

Gehangte: As a young man he was considered a medical prodigy, entering into a university at the
age of 16, and was licensed only a few years later. However, the Third Reich quickly found his skills
very useful, pressuring him to do their horrible work. Though he did what they asked of him, he
would spend much of his life suspended by crushing guilt, the screams of his
victims ringing through constant nightmares... Years and years later, something inside him collapsed.
He was tired of the pain, tired of the responsibility, so he surrendered to it, absolving
himself of his conscience and becoming the monster he had always told himself he was....

Cry Havoc: A girl who, for all her life, idolized her older brother. He was a source of strength
and hope in her life, supportive and loving of his little sister. They were the best of friends,
and that love only grew stronger when he became absent, called into military duty overseas. One
day, the family received a message: He was never going to come home. Overcome by grief at the
news, she soon became obsessed with keeping his memory alive, taking on the image of everything
she imagined him to be before his death, the brave soldier she was sure he'd been. She would make sure he would never really die...

Bound Son: His parents had separated when he was still very young. Sent to live with his mother,
his life soon became one of neglect, as his mother treated him more as a tool for gaining the respect
of her peers than a son. Only the misguided loyalty that every child feels for their parents
allowed him to endure being ignored at best, verbally and physically abused at worst. But as he
grew older, the binds began to snap, one by one. He wasn't going to take this any longer. No
matter how long it took, he was going to break free. He was going to escape.
