## **Personality**

Nightmaren has a very finicky personality, and he usually doesn't go to events and social gatherings. But on the other hand, he will do anything and everything for attention. He becomes skittish when confronted and will tend to shy away from ANY conflict. VERY stubborn, like if he doesn't get anything out of it, he wont do it. He also has a very pessimistic view on most things, like he prepares for the worst out of stuff like fear. Which in a way, could make him a good leader, or at least a safe one. Controlling and a little clingy.

## **Appearance**

Nightmaren has a pretty average body type and posture. He's also pretty minimalist with the way he likes to dress, wanting to wear as little as possible. His boots add like three inches onto him, so in reality he is 5'6. His wings are built more square if that makes sense with a squiggle in the middle of it. He looks almost exactly like his father.

## **Backstory**

Nightmaren doesn't have much of a backstory as of when i'm writing this. His mother disappeared when he was 8, and his dad became an alcoholic. He met an Atlantic Cod named **Morhua**, and they instantly became friends. They basically never left each other's sides and they told each other everything.

‏ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ Not much happened after that.‎ But when he was 16, he had to go with his dad somewhere. It was a big place, like a manor. He had to go because his dad didn't want to leave him alone, and that he had to go quite far. It was a gathering, most of the people looked fairly wealthy so it surprised Nightmaren, considering he was mainly part of the lower-middle class.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ Probably the people that mostly interested him was a lady who was French, she barely knew English, and a tall man who wore a robe and covered his face. Most of the other people didn't interest him that much. He was told to stay out of the way and go do whatever else, just not to mess or break with anything.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎Nightmaren didn't want to get yelled at, so he listened to him mostly. He kept quiet and just wandered about the manor. Watching them talk and walk past, he watches as his father lead two people through a door, holding it for them. Nightmaren could tell that something was up, but didn't want to intervene. He slowly padded his way towards the hallway as he heard screams of a woman with broken English.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ He stops as both of them stopped screaming along with the struggling. As he slowly crept to the door, he watched it swing in front of him, Leo walking out with gloves in his hands and a crown splattered with blood on it. Leo doesn't look shocked to see him, and he tells Nightmaren that when they both get back to pack their stuff, that they were moving. He looked at the bodies, it was the two people he saw first. He didn't know how to feel about it, and just stayed silent as Leo dragged him out the manor.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ It's been months later and Nightmaren had finally gotten all of their stuff packed, they were on the move. They had barely spoken a word to each other, and Nightmaren had finally figured out what Leo was up to. Along the way they had rested and slept in run down places. But one of the places they had stopped at, they had met a young lemur named **Torrent**. He reminded Nightmaren a lot about the woman he had met at the gathering with the slight French accent. They looked rough, he had explained to Nightmaren that his mother never came back after promising she'd come back. Nightmaren asked who her name was, they responded with **Magnolia**. It surprised Nightmaren how much better at English Torrent was then his own mother. They've talked for a while until they heard a sudden creak in the door. Nightmaren recognizes his father's footsteps and quickly tells Torrent to leave. They asked why, Nightmaren doesn't respond and just orders him to go out the window, since he thought it was the safest way to get out because there was no back door. Torrent nods and leaps out.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ Right as soon as Leo walked in, he asked Nightmaren why there was talking coming from in here, Nightmaren starts to panic. He says it was nothing, just him talking to himself. Leo raises a brow, asking why he was talking to himself in a French-ish accent. Nightmaren. Leo doesn't wait for an answer as he tells them that they're already leaving. As they were going, he noticed that Torrent was following them

‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ They had made it to their home place, Nightmaren had remembered the place vividly he states. Telling Torrent about the fights that had went on around the place and old friends that he had met there.

‎‏‏ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ It's hasn't been long after until Leo had finally explained what was happening, Leo was going to be the new king. Nightmaren finally put the puzzle pieces into place that his own father had killed the old king and taken the position, explaining how he was holding a bloody crown

## **Story**

When you first see him in the story, he's contemplating literally blowing up his castle and taking himself with it during a party, but mainly it was **Magnolia** who pitched the idea, even offering to help. Nightmaren wouldn't do that to his people, right? He expresses to Magnolia that he doesn't want to turn out like his father did when became leader. But she tells him that he shouldn't worry about it too much, saying that there were a lot worse rulers and that Leo had brought the whole kingdom back from the "rubble" it used to be.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‏‏‎This really doesn't help Nightmaren at all, but he shook it off. Leo walks into his room, he looked drunk, but at this point you couldn't even tell him apart from being sober. He seemed awfully nicer than usual

## **Trivia**

* He wears makeup. Even when he's not in an event or going to one, he just likes to wear it.
* He's attracted to shiny things, and will chase them.
* His voice claim is Cavetown (mainly to the song Boys Will Be Bugs :] )
* I feel like he'd unironically still use "XD" while texting
* He was originally a Binding of Isaac/ Warrior Cats oc
* Very sensitive to smell, if a scent is too strong he'll be almost weak and try to back away

## **Relationships**

 **Leo** | Negative
 **Morhua** | positive
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ When they eventually find each other again when Nightmaren becomes king, Morhua gives him advice and is there for him when he gets confronted. Nightmaren has stated that he grew feelings for him at some point but those feelings has mostly wgoneaway because the main reason that Nightmaren fell for Mor is that he was basically one of the only ones that actually cared for him.
