*"Give me the apple, Dream."* - Nightmare to Dream

## Backstory

Dream and Nightmare was created Nim, Dream was created as the positive side meanwhile Nightmare was created as the negative side. The two brothers were created to protect the Tree Of Magic, but one day a village had formed near the tree. Dream befriended villagers whilst Nightmare is beaten and bullied by them for being the guardian of the negative side of the tree. Later on, as the bullying gets more intense, he thinks his apples are not good enough and are looked down upon. His brother reassured him that his fruit is just as good as him. This didn't work and the apple was feeled with corrupted energy, everyone blamed Nightmare, prompting him to eat all the fruits from his side of the tree. After he was done Dream tried to see if his brother was still there in the corrupted body, but Nightmare attacked Dream and told him to give him the only apple left. Dream tried to fight Nightmare, but Nightmare overpowered Dream and defeated him and destroyed the tree. Nightmare left the AU leaving an Injured Dream there, all alone.

## Profile

### Appearance

* Past
* Current

When he was younger, Past Nightmare exhibited a starkly different appearance from his current form. His bones were a pristine white, lacking the gooey texture that characterizes his present state. His pupils were a soft lavender hue, and he had not yet developed the distinctive tentacles that now accompany him. The attire he wore consisted of a jacket reminiscent of his brother's, but with long sleeves and a dark purple coloration. Securing the jacket was a gold belt featuring the initials "NM." His lower ensemble comprised black pants paired with dark purple boots. A notable accessory was the golden headpiece adorned with a crescent moon that rested atop his skull.

Nightmare's visage is characterized by the unmistakable outline of Sans's shorts and hoodie, maintaining a semblance of his former self. However, the transformative influence of the dark apples has rendered him entirely black and goopey. Four ominous tentacles protrude from his back, a manifestation of the immense power derived from consuming the dark apples. In the midst of battle, Nightmare's left eye emits a constant and piercing glow in a shade reminiscent of the deep blue hues associated with conflict and turmoil.

### Personality

* Past
* Current

Back in the day, Nightmare was one of the nicest guys around. He cared about everyone and really loved flowers, especially roses, and animals. He was super giving, always helping others out. His big heart, though, might've been part of what went wrong for him. Despite his kindness to all, his protective side was strongest when it came to his brother, Dream. He'd do anything to keep Dream safe. This shows a totally different side compared to Nightmare's later, scarier self, giving us a peek into how things changed over time.

Nowadays, Nightmare is pretty deceptive, acting all unpredictable and erratic. He sees everyone around him as just tools to get what he wants and doesn't have any empathy for them. He's smart, always coming up with loads of schemes to make existence a living nightmare for everyone. But the worst part is, he's got this deep-seated hatred, wishing for everyone to be stuck in never-ending suffering. It's pretty dark and twisted, to say the least.

He has an ability called a Negative Aura. Basically, just being around him made people feel all hopeless and filled with hatred. Not the cheeriest of vibes, that's for sure.

### NegaWarp

This ability allows Nightmare to teleport himself and others to locations steeped in pain and suffering. It's a nifty trick for spreading misery across the multiverse.

### Negative Blasters

Nightmare's blasters shoot dark, gooey beams that not only inflict physical harm but also saturate the target with overwhelming negative emotions.

### Empathy

Fueled by the power of the Dark Apple, Nightmare can harness the collective pain of existence to amplify his own strength. It's like turning the universal agony into his personal energy reserve.
