### Background

According to @Four\_Eyes, new daimons of significance are a rarity in the Void. When they do happen, they rarely are able to establish a steady supply of worship in amounts that can sustain them and wither away. But every so often, there comes a daimon who comes up with a novel approach to their longevity.

### Axel Walker: 2015

As Rose Walker and Charlie Parker were going through their divorce, Rose Walker began drinking heavily. In her emotional turmoil, Rose's dreams often imagined a more happy future with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, complete with a rambunctious young son.

Somehow, a newly developed trickster god was drawn to these dreams. In the course of a single night, the god was able to assume the identity of their imaginary child and experience years of development with the dreaming Rose and ~~ERROR — Data Corruption~~ cast as his nurturing parents.

The dream was so vivid that Rose created a psychic bond with her "son" and the trickster was able to use the intense psychic connection to a Dream Vortex to sustain his life. When the dream was over, the child who was given the name Alexander (but chose to go by Axel) followed his mother into reality, ready to continue the charade.

However, the daimon underestimated Rose's grip on reality. Upon seeing the strange boy in her apartment, Rose screamed and ran to the apartment of her neighbor. When Rose and her awesome neighbor came back to investigate armed with sports equipment and an umbrella, the mysterious boy was gone, having only helped himself to Rose's snack cupboard and a jug of lemonade.

### Axel Walker: 2015 - 2016

The boy continued to go to the Dreaming every night to live out moments with his mother or father, in order to maintain his psychic link with his mother. In reality, after waiting a month for Rose to come find him as he lingered on Coventry Island, Axel bought a bus ticket and headed out west, ending up in Central City.

Axel sensed a significant magical source in Central City and spent the better part of a year trying to track it down.

### Axel Walker: 2015 - 2017

During his investigation, Axel made friends with Bart Allen and began going to school (having created parents with magical illusions to register him) in order to hang out with Bart (and make moves on Bart and his sister). However, Axel's expectations of school did not match up with reality, so he promptly dropped out.

Returning to his mischief, Axel befriended the Rogues (in particular the Trickster and Prank) and became their lookout and errand boy in exchange for their friendship. However, towards the end of 2016, Axel felt a troubling series of disturbances in his psychic connection.

Buying another bus ticket, Axel headed back to Gotham to investigate and found "mom" with a new ~~ex~~ husband and a daughter. As this caused a disconnect with Axel's existence, he had to step in and assert himself.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) True trickster gods are often paradoxical. They often exist without a reason to do so and can die multiple times only to cheat Death and return to life without much ill-effect. They claim they do so because the cosmic balance of the universe requires their brand of chaos to counteract all the laws and order which surround us.
* (*Submitted by Gremlin*) Here are some fun facts about Axel Walker:
	+ He has a raging sweet tooth, but is especially fond of lemonade and anything flavored hazelnut, vanilla, or caramel. He also loves anything and everything baked by Rose Walker, even if it's inedible to most folks.
	+ Axel disappears to the Dreaming when he is unconscious or sleeping. Apparently @Four\_Eyes thinks he may be able to be contained by dousing him with bleach or trapping him in a circle.
	+ He hates socks.
	+ May have an occult compulsion to dance when he hears certain music.
	+ He appears to know Mascot is a ratatoskr and understands him easily.
	+ He might just be playing along with her, but Axel appears able to follow his mother's weird rants. Interestingly, Axel being named Alexander supports Rose's strange rants about Charlie not being her ex-husband.
