==Profile==
===Description:===
Imagine you are driving down a lonely highway in the middle of nowhere and it’s getting late. It’s been one hell of a long journey and you aren’t even nearly home. In the distance the shining lights of an inn, incongruous in its location but you are so tired, so very tired, you let it slide. It looks so warm, so inviting. Before you know it you have pulled into the car park and are climbing out of your car. You push open the doors and enter the rather opulently decorated lobby. The receptionist is quick to attend to you. She has long blonde hair tied into a ponytail and a friendly smile. She’s warm and polite, and she can see just how tired you are. She suggests you get a room and you can sort out the bill tomorrow, in fact she insists upon it. You thank her and make your way down the corridor and to your room. It’s nicely decorated if a little spartan. You’re too exhausted to make any complaints. You collapse into the luxurious king sized bed and you are asleep before your head even hits the pillow.
And you dream.
Maybe one day you’ll wake up.
Probably not.
===Items/Abilities:===
The Traveller’s Rest is cloaked in illusions. The perception of the inn is tailored to suit whatever environment it is located. It will also do its best to tailor itself to the wishes of whoever is drawn into the inn. If someone was to see it without the illusory trappings they would see a disused old building, its decoration faded, its windows broken, the rooms lined with dust and cobwebs. The Traveller’s Rest is ‘owned’ by a man who likes to be referred to as Mister O. He has shoulder length black hair, a youthful face and a dazzling smile. He wears a black business suit at all times, though he rarely emerges from his office. Also present in The Traveller’s Rest is the receptionist; Maria. She appears to be in her early twenties, with a friendly disposition and long blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She is always seen wearing the uniform of the Traveller’s Rest, though of course like most of the Traveller’s Rest this differs from one locale to another. Only one of the rooms is occupied.
===Biography:===
Guests rarely get a chance to ask about the history of the mysterious inn. Though sometimes Maria has very pertinent questions about why the inn is always changing aesthetic, why she can’t remember anything before she took the position at the Traveller’s Rest and why she never sleeps, Mister O does not like to answer such questions. It is then that his usually cheerful exterior will crack and he will retreat to his office.
