Yume

Eladrin / Warlock

Submitted character story

You are the strategist who navigated the Blackfen and studied the Iron Matron until patience became power. What brought you back was the fox's offer: consume or be consumed, and you chose hunger. But every nightmare you feed to that lantern leaves something behind, a residue of terror you can't wash off. They'll remember you as the warlock who never flinched, who turned dread itself into fuel.

Defining moment: Before Yume was old enough to talk, she traveled through people’s dreams. She saw funny moments, moments of love, wild landscapes, flying, and the occasional mild nightmare. But the scary ones she just jumped out of. Each dream seemed to power her, excite her, and give her strength. But one night was different, something terrible happened and she found herself trapped in a nightmare she couldn’t seem to escape. Hollows, stretched and misshapen, wordlessly screaming as they reached for her and the owner of the nightmare, scrambled out of the blackness, chasing her down. She seemed to run for ages through the inky blackness. She tried to teleport away, she tried to fight back, and she seemed to slowly be sinking and slowing as she ran. The Hollows gaining on her both in speed and threat. When suddenly a bolt of light zipped past her and one of the hollows dissipated. A nine tailed fox, radiant, with fire and light appeared, and offered her the chance to consume the nightmares chasing her, instead of being consumed by them.
