For as long as civilisation can remember, dreams have been a source of wonder and fantasy. Children would listen to others' stories of the adventures they'd have at night and eagerly share their own in return. Dreams could be exciting, ridiculous, frightening or anything in between, but no matter how many one can experience, nobody has ever unlocked the mysteries that bind their meaning.
Until one day, when Archer Rowe believed that he had discovered the meaning of dreams using the power of lucid dreaming.
The ability isn't common, but it isn't rare either. Some gain the ability as children and then lose it again as they transition into adulthood. Others discover the ability and keep it for their entire life. Those with the mysterious power can manipulate dreams with great magnitude, in effect becoming the god of their own mind.
Archer Rowe discovered something different. Dreams do not occur merely in one's head. They're all connected. Do you ever dream about a family member? A friend, or simply a stranger you saw in the street? They aren't just in your head. That person is there, experiencing the dream just as you are, but interpreting it in a very different manner. Rowe theorised this after connecting the emotions he felt in a dream with that of a friend's, and he started to talk about it.
"A truer way of living," he called it. The words appeared everywhere. Newspaper headlines, trending on Twitter - everyone shared it and made fun of the renowned scientist gone mad. It turned into a conspiracy. Rowe gained several followers from around the world via the internet, whom he teamed up with to brainstorm ways to encourage the population to embrace dreams and find the purest state of life. The belief that flowed from the gullible young followers combined with the attention of the media drove Rowe to hysteria. He started calling himself a messenger of God, much to the enjoyment of the public.
However, this enjoyment was not to last for long. Within months the team had developed an untested 'Dream Serum' - a fluid that was to be injected into a subject's bloodstream that would supposedly encourage lucid dreaming. The team hoped that their invention would convince the population that it was God's wish to live in a dream, where the mind and soul are free to meander and mingle, connecting with others on a deeper level.
However, this serum didn't work.
The team started to test their invention out, jabbing unsuspecting vistims wherever their skin was bare. Each and every time, the victim would fall into a coma, locked in their dreams and unable to wake. It started to become a danger. People starved, unable to eat, drink or rid themselves of waste. Many neglected to go outside for fear that they would be attacked by the growing league of followers under Rowe's reign. London, the home of Archer Rowe, became barren - a ghost-city, a shell of the hive it once was.
Those who have hidden are safe as long as they stay indoors. Those who have been attacked are locked in their dreams. Most have no idea that they are starving or parched. It's up to the lucid dreamers to rescue the other victims from their oblivion so that they may work to find a way to wake themselves before they die.
____________________________________________________________________________
Rowe's current location is unknown. He hasn't been seen since the attacks began. Some say that he saw the truth and fled. Others wonder if he committed suicide to escape to an eternal dream. It doesn't matter. His followers haven't stopped, and they're still out there, producing and using the serum when they can.
____________________________________________________________________________
Within the dream world, characters have limited power to manipulate the area around them. Only lucid dreamers have control over this creative power, though - everyone else's dreams are very much real to them and make no sense at all. The only link to the real world is that their personal dream experience is based upon emotions, memory and desire. Anything could happen. They might suddenly find that they have the power to use a frisbee as a hoverboard, but only when nobody is watching. They might take a breath only to find that they're underwater and have an unexplainable power.

Name: Elliot Thorpe Age: 26 Gender: Male Appearance: Elliot has a round face and a hooked, beak-like nose. He wears sleek rectangular glasses and a shark-tooth necklace. His hair is fair-brown and his face is bare of facial hair. He mostly wears white or light grey button-up shirts and darker grey trousers or jeans. Personality: Elliot is prone to embarrassment as he is a known coward in the waking world as well as a klutz. Despite the fact that he can barely spit out a sentence, he does try to conceal his awkwardness and look 'cool' to strangers as his ego, when not stripped down by blunders, is big and demanding. Bio (optional): He grew up at the edge of a city where he secretly idolised programmers and internet entertainers. He kept his loyalty to nerd culture hidden from his friends, with whom he instead confided in with all of his problems and concerns about missed opportunities. Though he from a young age thought he would go to university, he dropped out of education after finishing his A-levels at sixth-form and started a bland internet video-sharing channel, which he quit to search for a real job. He now works in advertising. Other (optional): N/A Condition (Victim, Free, Follower): Free Lucid (Yes/No): No

We shall start now. I've got to go to bed right after this post, so keep RPing and we'll hope this starts the ball rolling.

Elliot fumbled around in his bedside drawer, blindly feeling for the plastic torch he'd kept for emergencies. He lived in London, quite a difference to the place he'd grown up in - a much different city on the south coast, much smaller and friendlier than here. Somebody must have cut the power again in this area, because his lamp had turned itself off. This was the second time this month. It was quite an annoyance for someone who read every night.

(i can be on for a LITTLE longer)
Thomas wakes up with a start. His dreams have gotten more hectic each night. He searches for his glasses, which, not to his surprise, were nowhere to be found.
"Great. I hope they didn't break again."
After finding his glasses, he walked to the kitchen and made some cereal. Thomas didn't care it was two in the afternoon. His sleep schedule was messed up enough already. Thomas sat down on the couch to watch something.
"Nope... no... nuh-uh... nada... oh, yeah. Spongebob." |

Name: Cian Donner Age: 15 Gender: Female Appearance: Red hair in a braid to her waist, electric blue eyes, kind of pale, stands four foot ten, weighs 95 pounds. Cian is often seen in a black 'KATACHTHONIA MAKARIA' tee with the letters in blood-red and 'dripping', like they were written in blood, dark purple jeans, brown leather boots, and a black fatigue jacket. On her right hand's index finger, Cian wears a silver treble clef ring. Personality: Er? Cian's personality is hard to explain, but she is cool-headed in bad situations, and finds no amusement with modern trends. Other than that, TBR I guess. Bio (optional): N/A Other (optional): Lucid Dream Condition (Victim, Free, Follower): Free Lucid (Yes/No): Yes. (Cian can only make changes within 5 or so feet of her, and can only do changes that would be logical to that spot. Ex: In a grassy meadow with unblooming flowers, she can speed the growth up a little. Stuff like that. It would have to make sense for that area. So, she can't make grass sprout up out of a desert biome, but she can, for example, change the food on a school cafeteria's plate to other school-type foods if in a dream involving lunchtime at school.)
If I have to change anything in this, just let me know in a PM and I will change it as soon as I get a chance.

"Oh no."
Thomas looks around. He's in the city. But it's empty.
"I'm in this weird dream world again. Well at least.."
Thomas jumps up, and starts hovering. After a couple seconds, he falls.
"Oh yeah. My debuff, or whatever. Well, better get going."
He starts running, leaps, and is in the air. He then looks for anyone. |

Clover was in a city.But it's empty.
His 'power' was to hit extremely hard with a baseball bat he had, in his hands. He didn't know this yet,though.
"Hello?" he said,bat in hand.He was scared and confused.
"Ok!" -Ness |

Thomas hears a voice off in the distance.
"What was that?"
He forgot that he couldn't HOVER for more than a few seconds, and began to fall.
"AHHH! FLY FLY FLY!!!"
Thomas manages to catch himself.
"Phew." |

Elliot grabbed the string dangling by his head and pulled it down, causing the blackout blind to roll up. "Bloody hell," he hissed, seeing a sudden bright light. "How long did I read for?" He tapped nervously on his digital alarm clock, which, as it relied on a constant flow of electricity, was dead and blank.
As his eyes adjusted, he caught sight of a glint of light from his mobile phone's glass screen. Elliot found the power button and pushed down with his thumb, seeing the faint numbers flash into life before him. "Two-nineteen in the afternoon. Bummer."
