Claiming:Dreamscape Claiming/Claire

1) What is your character's personality?

**Claire is a very emotionally distant individual. She doesn't enjoy opening up to many people and even when she does, she doesn't always express what she's feeling - not wanting to be a burden on other people. Not only this but, after the lose of her grandfather, who was murdered by a close family friend, Claire has trouble just getting close to anyone in general - Afraid they'd turn on her. Despite this though, Claire isn't a stranger to socializing. When approached she can keep up a conversation and even be a bit friendly when needed.**

**All distant personality aside, Once getting past it, a person can see that Claire is actually a nice and innocent girl. Any mention of sexual things will cause her to blush and she doesn't have much interest in breaking rules. Though, Claire can also have somewhat of a darker side when she wants need to. Mainly when people she's close to get her and her angry boils past the breaking point.**

2) What method did your character use to start transmission of Dreamscape abilities?

**Her grandfather was born with the ability and was murdered for the ability he was born with. However, he managed to get his amulet to Claire - considering she was there when it was happening and she was able to hide out until the police came and arrested the man - keeping the amulet for herself to remember her grandfather, who she was very close with.**

3) How did your character act while under the effects of the Dreamscape Curse?

**She panicked from the experience, considering the curse hit her at the young age of 11 - about a year after her grandfather was killed. Unfortunately, she was only young and wasn't told about dreamscaping so naturally she was scared and didn't know what was going on. for most of the experience, she stay locked in her room but, everyone thought she was just going through some depression state about her grandfather - which her family usually left her alone through.**

4) What were the personality changes your character underwent after awakening from Stage Four? In other words, how did they act after recovering from the Dreamscape curse?

**Claire acquired a very distant and innocent personality compared to her previous energetic and friendly traits.**

5) Write a personal account of your character's first time in the Dreamscape from their perspective.

**I was standing in the living room, rays of light break through the glass windows and dust particles being seen flying through them. I could see my couch, the piano that sat in the far left corner and a t.v over the fireplace. It all seemed so real, except for the fact that i could also see my dead grandfather sitting on a recliner. i could always find him sitting on it, at any time of the day, everyday.**

**"Come Claire, come sit with me." He spoke, and at the sound of his familiar voice, tears began to swell in my eyes. I had forgotten how he sounded but, when he spoke, it was like i had just seen him a few hours ago, before i went to bed.**

**I was paralyzed though, i couldn't move my feet towards one of my favorite people. To someone i had longed to see for the past year. It tried and tried but it didn't work, i just couldn't move. For a moment i close my eyes to concentrate and when i opened them, i wished i never had. The scene had changed drastically. I was still in my living room but, now i was standing in front of my grandfather, who had a knife to his throat and a masked figure behind him.**

**"Close your eye my dearest Claire." My grandfather voiced, just like on the day he was really killed. And just like on that day, i couldn't close my eyes. I witnessed as the the knife began to move across my Grandfather's neck, ready to rip his throat open. I began to scream, loudly, begging whatever was going on to stop, to let me wake up from this nightmare - nothing happened. It was exactly like that day, every detail, every movement, every word.....**

**Suddenly though, when i saw a drop of blood seep from his neck, i got angry. My own blood started to boil and as if the dream was listening to my anger, the man behind my grandfather began to scream. His skin boiled and he dropped the knife, falling to the floor dead. My grandfather was ok and for a moment, i caught myself hoping this was real - even though i knew it wasn't. After that the scene faded back to normal and i sat with my grandfather, crying my eye's out and hugging him - he'd probably die from how hard i was hugging him. After a long talk, where he told me everything about the dreamscape and a journal he kept about his knowledge of it, i woke up - crying.**
**(I realize he isn't actually alive and wouldn't be able to tell her things she didn't know before hand but, i was thinking he could have talk to her about it when she was younger and forgot about it but now, in her dreams she was remembering it and it was being replayed like a memory through her grandfather.)**

6) How recently has your character discovered their ability to enter the Dreamscape?

**She 'discovered' her ability when she was 11**

7) Is your character experienced at using the Dreamscape?

**Considering she has had the ability for about 6 years, Claire is vastly experienced at using the ability, though obviously she doesn't know everything and probably wouldn't even compare to the strongest of dreamscapers in heathen**

8) If not, where does their current progress stand?

9) Would your character be interested in being tutored on how to use their new ability?

**Yes, although she has some great knowledge of the Dreamscape ability, due to a journal she inherited from her grandfather, she would appreciate learning even more and becoming one of the best dreamscape user.**

## Comments

Please answer question one. Also, dreamscape users aren't called 'dreamscapers'. I understand why you'd conclude that though. They're just dreamscape users.
