## Backstory

The castle was dim, with almost little to no light. The sound of dripping can be heard from a certain room in the large palace. Black goop, dripping down from an entity with the goop covering him. Nightmare. He paced his room thinking. Wanting out. Out of this deal, he’s trapped himself. Finding, looking, craving for one way out of 404’s grasp. He never liked the white demon, knowing one day he’ll piss him off and Nightmare will die, just like that with no one to remember the deeds he has done. He wants to be remembered. He wants to have the multiverse *to fear* him. A grin grew on his face. But suddenly the door slammed open. “WHO IS TO DISTURB ME!!” Nightmare shouted in anger, his alone time now no longer alone. “Calm down boss it’s just me” Dust replied walking into Nightmares room. Was wondering what you were doing, since you’ve been so distant lately.” Nightmares face showed a lot of disappointment. “And who are you to care about my personal shit.” Crossing his arms, and retracting his tentacles, he waited for dust’s answer “I don’t. But I have to come in since you don’t like me leaving the castle without your consent. But I’m not a damn dog.” Dust replied, “I don’t give two shits. Now leave! I don’t need you bothering me.” Nightmare yelled, dust left and nightmare went back to planning. “You want him gone. Don’t you.” A voice spoke, startling nightmare. “WHO SAID THAT!! WHO IS HERE SHOW YOURSELF PEASANT!” Nightmare screamed. Looking everywhere but unable to find the voice “I am not here. Yet I am. Don’t look as if you will be wasting your time. I know you, you want to get rid of 404. What if I told you there was a place just for that. A place where there is no 404.” The voice said. Nightmare thought about it. He was very skeptical, “interesting... go on.” He said. “This place is one you could rule, given the chance no one stands in your way.” The voice replied, nightmare smiled devilishly. “This seems very much in my favor, what’s the catch. There must be one.” Said nightmare, his skepticism seemingly gone, yet now interested. “And how do I get there” he replied again. As a door appeared “all you must do is walk through.” The voice spoke out once more. And nightmare grinned and opened the door and was ultimately dragged in. Waking up in his room in the Staffverse, he looked at the darkroom, then to his throne. Then to the door. Walking to his throne he sat upon it. Waiting. Until their paths cross again. Which wouldn’t take too long.

## Personality

deceiving, erratic, and unpredictable. He sees everyone's as mere tools to further his goals and is completely devoid of empathy. He's also Intelligent, and often comes up with countless schemes to bring absolute suffering to existence. He's filled with pure and utter Hatred, wanting everyone to be in a perpetual state of torment.

## Relationships

Error404: Nightmare and 404 have a terrible relationship, nightmare absolutely despises 404, and tries to escape from his list of henchmen by trying to kill 404. though this has failed, it seems Nightmare is very scared of 404.

Killer: Nightmare does not like Killer in the slightest. Nightmare has stated killer has "failed him too many times" and will most likely only tolerate him now.

## Appearance

Nightmare now shares somewhat of a similar look to what he once wore within Dreamtale. he dawns a purple cape, and his goop turns from black to cyan at the tips of his tentacles, fingers etc.

### **Negative Aura**

The Dark aura of the vessel brings pain and suffering to those around him.

### **TORMENT OVERLOAD**

The power of the Dark apples caused the vessel to burst into a frenzy of Tar and Tendrils. The dripping darkness of Nightmare's frame consists of grants him immunity to all types of weapons and magic. If stabbed, said weapon would be caught and melt within his goop. Magic attacks might split his frame in half, but he can always reconstruct himself. Most of the time he'll just use his appendages to block or absorb the magic used to attack him. Nightmare can utilize four tendrils that burst out from his back in battle. He can stab, grab, or swat at a foe with them. He can also trap one within an appendage.

### **Shapeshifting**

Nightmare is able to shapeshift his body into anything he wants to. yet sticks to being a sans.

### Nightmare manipulation

Nightmare can enter the dreams of his victims and take control of it, thus turning said dream into a Nightmare of which he then can control to his bidding to torture his victim to make them feel as much pain as possible without killing them, to power up Nightmare with negative emotions of which he will then grow stronger, and even emit it.

### Sleep inducement

Nightmare can put anyone he wishes into a deep sleep, so long as Nightmare looks into the victims eyes for 10 seconds.

### Phobia manipulation

Nightmare can remove some parts of his goop and essentially create a sort of living goop that is connected to Nightmare via hive mind. If Nightmare stays in someone’s he will know all their fears/phobias. These living goop monsters will go after the any person Nightmare commands. However, Nightmare prefers to let the goop entity go after the one it was made for just so it gives him more negative emotions
