Temporary art since I doubt I'll be able to finish the digital version of him before the end of the contest

### Killer Style

"Arabian chic and comfortable! Though, the more gold and jewels the better, if I'm being completely honest. What? Lot's o' dreamers wish for untold riches, they never said for who!"

### Monster Quirk

"Sure, I have the power to grant the wishes of my fellow frightmares, but more often than not the results tend to get a little, how would you say it? They tend to get muddled and not at all what they wanted! I can't help it, I'm not a full djinn after all!"

### Favorite Activity

"Pranking my friends, of course! They don't call me Joker for nothing after all!"

### Biggest Pet Peeve

"Just don't ask me to grant your wishes, okay? I can only do that for dreamers, and even then just other djinn, and only sometimes my fellow frightmares, so drop the subject! If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll help, but I make no promises!"

He is wallpacapaca's 16th character on the lab!

## Biography

### Personality

Being friends with Azim is like being friends with a loose cannon. One minute, he can be sweet and caring, the next trying to swindle you out of your gold and jewels. Whatever the case, he's always bright but calm and collected; it takes a leveled head to get what you want in this dream eat dream world after all!

Though, when told off loud enough, he does retreat into himself, which is why he tends to avoid his haters and play up to his lovers. The other frightmares like to call him Joker, for he never shows his true face to anyone, and will always get what he wants no matter the cost.

### Dream Building

Being a frightmare created from a collision with a djinn, Azim can weave dreams for any monsters of that type.

He creates dreams by appearing to his dreamers and telling them they get to have three wishes from him that night. Typically, he'll find a way to weave them in his own favour, but he does also like to help his dreamers. Being part djinn himself, he knows he's not allowed to grant any of his own wishes, so he does want to help his fellow djinn get a taste of what it's like to be the wisher instead of the wish granter. That said, it's not uncommon for him to arrive home after a night of dream weaving with a sack full of shiny gold coins for himself.

## Relationships

### Family

As a frightmare, Azim doesn't have any real family, though given the chance to meet her he might consider the monster that created him, Khepri Serap, to be like family.

### Friends

Azim is friendly to most other frightmares, though he wouldn't say he had any close friendships with them. It would not be professional to be friends with the people you scam after all!

### Romance

Azim is not interested in any romance at the moment, unless they have untold riches he could take from them.

### Enemies

#### Lualhati Dugo

Less enemies, more so annoyances at each other's throats most of the time. To Azim, the worst thing you can be is someone who doesn't fall for his tricks, and unfortunately Hati seems to be able to see right through him. She's always challenging him, and yet even when he fails the other frightmares are too afraid of her to try and talk, so they stay on his side and the cycles continue. Besides, they don't know he's bluffing even when not being challenged by a floating torso.

### Pet

As a frightmare, Azim doesn't have a pet, but were one of his dreamers set to wish for one, he'd likely take it for himself.

## Trivia

* His first name, Azim, is an Arabic name meaning Protector, a reference to how protective he is about his true nature, and his last name, Hayek, is an Arabic name meaning Weaver, a reference to his status as a frightmare who weaves dreams.
