Dreamboat

:"Well... y'know what they say... you can... lead lightning to strike two birds in one basket... but..." - Dreamboat, shortly before becoming incoherent and nodding off mid-sentence.
Marcia 'Dreamboat' Cannon is an agent of the UNWD, and is the head of interrogations and conflict defusion due to her placating presence. She is also a trained sleep therapist and dream analyst.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
Dreamboat's appearance may vary, as she tends to gently warp reality around herself to look as dreamlike and nonthreatening as possible. Normally, she has dark skin, pink hair with a light purple fringe, and wears lavender pyjamas with purple slippers and the UNWD logo on the breast. She has a slight cleft lip that gives her a 'cat face' appearance.
Although her eyes are most often closed in drowsiness, they are a soft lavender colour.
=== Personality ===
She is calm, slow to react and generally drowsy. Although she always seems on the verge of nodding off, she is genuinely attentive and perceptive, and is very kind and considerate, always ready to give advice. 
Slow to anger almost to a fault, it's extremely difficult to get an aggravated response from her. Although she is passive, patient and peaceful, she is a dilligent worker and a good team player.
=== Abilities ===
As her alias suggests, she can manipulate others' dreams. This allows her to travel into the dreams of a sleeping person and make near-exact copies using psychic energy. These copies cannot physically interact with people, and disappear the second they are touched.
Her voice has a passive hypnotic quality, and anyone who touches her skin (even involuntarily) falls asleep. As her powers only work at close range, she keeps a gun of tranquilisers in her travel bag. Additionally, she can manipulate reality in short fields, often to make others feel comfortable and 'interrogate them with kindness'.
She also seems to have some kind of 'softening' ability that allows her to slow projectiles around her and land more gently after falls.
== History ==
Marcia Cannon's story is that of an average oneirologist who created the 'Sleepinator'- a system of REM scanners hooked up to a 3D printer that would print items from dreams. Although the prototype was incomplete, Professor Cannon took it for an ill-fated test drive leading to herself becoming trapped in a tormented, dreamless sleep until her lab assistant arrived the next morning.
As a result of the mishap, she became an insomniac, too afraid to sleep in case she became trapped again. After many sleepless nights, she became desperate, eventually collaborating with another scientist to create a machine that'd allow her to sleep and control her own dreams.
You'd think that the same stone never strikes one bird twice, but in Marcia Cannon's case, it definitely does. Before the hypno-ray could be fired, there was a huge powercut in the labs. When the generator was booted up, the machine took on too much power and blasted her far harder than expected, before exploding in her face - imbuing her with dream energy.
The cure for her insomnia came at a price- she now became nearly narcoleptic, but became the UNWD's chief of interrogations. Her hospitable nature made her an excellent interrogator- lulling prisoners into a sense of safety that would convince them that spilling the beans would be beneficial for everyone involved- and she is known to help sleepless agents forget their woes.
== Trivia ==
* She has an awful habit of falling asleep mid-sentence.
* Her assistant in interrogations is Isaac Wolffe.
* She often uses nonsensical combinations of idioms/malaphors in speech, such as 'A bird in the hand is worth two with one stone', 'Lightning never strikes another man's treasure', 'Like pulling teeth out of a stone' and 'Keep your friends close but you can't make them drink'.
