dream walking permissions
D R E A M E R
In Solas' world, Thedas, he is what is known as a somniari, or Dreamer. Basically, this means he is a powerful lucid dreamer, and able to bend and control the Fade - or the land of dreams - to his will. Solas is extraordinarily skilled at this, and manages to do it safely; a skill beyond most Dreamers, since it is far too easy for them to attract demons who seek to possess them. Solas primarily uses this skill to walk through the different realms of the Fade, mostly to watch what spirits act out in memory of things that happen in the waking world. He has purposely gone to ruins to watch the history and lost memories come to life again, and learn what most people could only dream of ever seeing. But, due to his power, Solas is able to walk into other people's dreams, see what happens during them or even afterwards, and even control and shape those dreams if he so chooses to. This power understandably brings a sense of fear to many who know of Dreamers and their abilities, as they could potentially kill or gravely harm someone in their sleep by altering their dreams. Solas does not seem particularly interested in this, mostly using his skills to navigate and explore, but the potential still remains. If your character would not like Solas to have access to their dreams, be it due to personal preference or conflicting abilities, please post here! Solas is polite enough to leave well enough alone, and will not bring up what happens in most dreams unless he 1) finds it interesting or 2) fears for the dreamer. If you don't want him to interact with or see your dreams at all, totally cool! Just let me know here so I know it's off limits. Alternatively: would you like this strange, eggy man to visit your character in their dreams? Have an idea for a dream plot? Want him to get them out of nightmare land, or shape their dreams for some reason? Scare the absolute willies out of them? Let me know here! I'd love to have him use his dream walking powers. |
