The Dreamtalker

The Dreamtalker is a canon created by Teddy, whose protagonist is Jake Bently. Other featuring characters include Xtina, Terrick, Jem, Dominic, Jesse and Milo. It is set during the years 2006, 2009, and 2021.

The Dreamtalker
In the Dreamtalker canon, many interlinked worlds exist as homes to different species; it is the Dreamtalker's job to mediate any conflict between the worlds and countries and to ensure that war does not break out. Although the next Dreamtalker may be born while the previous one is still alive, there is only ever one actively powerful Dreamtalker at any given time—the younger's powers will only start manifesting upon the death of the elder.

The Dreamtalker can be of any species and gender from any world; it is not yet known how Dreamtalkers are chosen, but it is unlikely that they are born solely for the role.

Powers and Traits
Once the adrenaline recedes, the Dreamtalker will be left with a hangover similar to that of an alcoholic one
 * The ability to communicate through dreams (hence the title "Dreamtalker") to allow for easy mediation between different worlds. This can also lead to the Dreamtalker accidentally "falling" into the dreams of those around him if they do not keep their dream walls up against him. When this happens, the Dreamtalker will appear as whomever the dreamer wants to see—within the context of the dream or in general. They may or may not remember who the Dreamtalker is while dreaming; it is dependent on the dreamer. However, they do have the ability to manipulate the dreams and even the Dreamtalker himself if they try hard enough; this is potentially dangerous for the Dreamtalker, as he can die in dreams even while the dreamer cannot
 * Increased speed. The Dreamtalker can move faster than most creatures can perceive, although it can tire him out easily if he does not practice regularly
 * Increased strength. How strong the Dreamtalker is is dependent solely on his own physical fitness
 * Fast mental processing. This allows for the Dreamtalker to calculate situations quickly, though if not controlled properly, it can make the Dreamtalker's thought process difficult to understand under normal circumstances
 * Temporary multilingualism. When in others' dreams, the Dreamtalker possesses the ability to understand and speak whatever languages the dreamer speaks in order to communicate with anyone within the dream. This ability does not last when the Dreamtalker awakens
 * Dreamtalker mode. This is an informal term for specific behavioural and physical changes that can take place in high-stress situations. Triggered by adrenaline, the symptoms include:
 * Excessive use of other powers (especially speed)
 * Unusual amounts of energy
 * Rapid mood swings—some real, others artificial
 * Impulsive actions
 * Loss of inhibitions
 * Manipulative behaviour to attempt to sort out the situation at hand
 * Flushed skin
 * Bright eyes (in the case ofJake Bently, his otherwise green eyes appear to develop golden flecks, but this is simply the hazel in his eyes becoming more prominent)


 * Abnormal height. The Dreamtalker can grow up to two feet taller than what is average for his species in order to make him appear more intimidating in the event that he needs to scare someone in order to gain their cooperation
 * Hot skin. While this is entirely normal for the Dreamtalker, his skin can feel feverish from an outsider's perspective. This is due to the contained energy that is kept on hold until it is used up through applied speed or strength. If it is not released, it will continue to build up until the Dreamtalker is all but bouncing off the walls, and can become detrimental to his health as it is stressful on his system

Jake Bently
The Dreamtalker during the time period that the canon's story takes place is Jake Bently. It is rare for humans to be Dreamtalkers as the human world has cut off all communication with the other worlds; due to this, he is ill-prepared and has not been trained to properly use his powers. Paired with personality traits that go against what is normal for a Dreamtalker and interfere with his role as a neutral power—such as loyalty and a short temper—this means that Jake is commonly deemed as being unfit for the role. At the age he appears in the chat, sixteen, he is still learning how to to fulfil his role as the Dreamtalker.

Imps
Imps are a common species within the canon. The most well-known Imp is Xtina, who is next in line in the monarch of her homeland, Gretalia.

Imps are humanoid creatures with green skin (their skin shades vary in the same way humans' do). Their hair ranges from black to white, though these are both opposite extremes; Imps' hair is usually some shade of silvery-grey. Imps have catlike, yellow eyes with pupils that dilate and contract according to the light.

They place heavy importance on being in-touch with the nature that surrounds them, living as generally peaceful hunter-gatherers. Because of their lifestyle, they are sometimes assumed to be primitive—however, the way they live is a choice rather than an inability to progress.

Motry
The Motry are a tribe of people that live on a group of three islands of the same name. The most well-known Motry characters are first cousins Terrick and Jem and their mutual second cousin Dominic. They are not known for their intelligence, focusing more on peacocking themselves for the other gender. There are outstanding rates of heterosexuality and aligning sex/gender identities on the Motry Islands.

Motry men are usually tall and good-looking. They are raised to have fairly aggressive, hypermasculine natures; most of their days are spent body-building, trying to impress women, and challenging one another. Their physical fights are frequent as their tough skin and thick bones mean they do not injure easily, but most of these fights are goodnatured and for entertainment purposes only.

Motry women are generally the more intelligent of the genders. While they also focus on physical fitness and attractiveness, they most often take the roles of leaders and strategists while the men play the roles of warriors. Not much is known about Motry women outside of this, as none of the three Motry that frequent the mansion have known strong ties with any females of their species—Terrick is too immature and sexist to uphold any relationships with them, Dominic is gay, and Jem is disinterested in his own species. Jem is implied to have had a sister at one stage, but it is unknown what happened to her.

Motry do not have long lifespans and don't usually live beyond the age of thirty. They reach the peak of their adulthood in their twenties; before then, their childhood and adolescent stages match the time periods of humans'.
