Description -cracks knuckles- here we go



What is a Dreamkeeper?
A dreamkeeper is a fae creature that walks between the realms of reality and the dreamscape; they're usually around the size of fawn, males standing just slightly taller then females. These creatures are almost like bees, they feed on dreams but leave behind dreamdust that strengthens good dreams and essentially weakens the sense of fear or negative emotions in the dreamer's mind.

Dreamdust
Dreamdust is, in a nearly literal sense, pollen. When a dreamkeeper feeds on a dream its fur starts producing this dust-like substance so when the creature hops to the next dream, it leaves the dust behind to cultivate new dreams. 

Wisps
When a dreamkeeper visits one person in particular enough, it gains a wisp that represents that person; this wisp will guide the dreamkeeper back to this person so that the creature can check up on them. A dreamkeeper can have as many as 4 wisps, either from one person or multiple.

Nightmare Tears
Dreamkeepers at their heart, are very protective creatures and the physical evidence of this nature comes in the form of inky black tears. These creatures will feed on nightmares if they happen upon them but it causes them intense distress, which results in nightmare tears. If they eat too many nightmares it can result in death or something they feel is much worse.


Other Info 

- All dreamkeepers have a white mask where their face should be, do they actually have a face under there? Maybe, no one's looked and the creatures seem adamant about keeping it hidden.

- They're very expressive with their ears and they do speak most languages; they have their own language which uses whistles, chirps, trills and purring.

- When experiencing intense emotions (happiness, love, etc) small glowing pupils shine in their masks (usually shaped into hearts when love is involved); however, angry spawns red and a rather vicious looking mouth seems to tear open on their neck.



Gender Differences

-  Males typically have larger horns/antlers then females, though females do not always have them. There's no set rarity on them either, but multiple sets are not allowed.
             - Females can have larger horns/antlers, its just very rare

- A male's mane connects to his tail while a female's (if longer) usually ends around mid-back

- Reproductive habits are unknown at this time 




Dreamkeepers are a CLOSED SPECIES that belongs to me, please do not make your own!

A couple questions that came up while I was waiting!
Do the wisps replace the charm totems from before? (And if so, can I keep the charms? LOL)
And are rare traits exclusive to like adoptable sheets? I do want Mal to look like a deer, but damn... wing butt.... they tempt me LOLOL

If you don't mind me asking, would you at all cared is I redesigned Whisper with the new traits? His design would be the same just with the new traits. If this is ok, I'll tell you what I'd like to add (one common and uncommon trait.)

Senkaishii In reply to GrimmTail [2015-09-28 03:47:32 +0000 UTC]

lol yes I'm glad one of the groups from the past is still alive. Wish we could do the same with SC though. Not like make adoptables again but show the cats love and all that. I still have all my precious babies, and I actually found the old glass I etched of Peacock,  LOL, and Grunt lol. I should really take a pic of it, even if it looks crappy now XD

oooh I'm so happy to hear that ;w; I've been doodling my babu for a few months now but the group was so dead it seemed to be pointless to post any art.

Righty~o I'll help out with that

Will do. Waiting to hear back from an old friend on the decision.

Good to be back, for the most part at least till I get sucked away in a dimensional hole

GrimmTail In reply to Senkaishii [2015-09-28 03:53:13 +0000 UTC]

ehh
I'm kind of to that point with SCs where I'm just kind of...burnt out?
idk, they were fun and lord knows, I still love my shadow babes but I'm not sure where to go with them
every time we tried to respark them, all anyone seemed to care about was getting one but never did anything with them

ahhh goooood lol I've been drawing Nightingale a lot so I'm eager and pumped

alrighty then
right now, I'm waiting till the tenth then we can make a new masterlist, I've got a handle on lore right now

but I've been thinking about implementing an adventure system? Like they do with the faelidh and minkin? I think it'd be fun

Senkaishii In reply to GrimmTail [2015-09-28 04:01:31 +0000 UTC]

Meh I would say that the adoptions are forever closed unless stated otherwise and just focus on having fun activities for the members in the group and give a good excuse I mean reason to draw our babies again and do rps and such.



Oooh my pretty little angel Nightingale I'm so glad you're giving her lovings ;w;


Ok that sounds good *w* Halloween's coming up bud, we should do like some sort of haunted house or activity to where members have a chance at winning a mutant or something. God I love Halloween! -trembles with excitement-


oooooooh yeeees~

also since they can't have more than 2 tails, Caden just has really fluffy butt fur now o3o

GrimmTail In reply to Senkaishii [2015-09-28 04:07:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I've thought about maybe trying that? but like I said, I'm just sorta
done with them?
they caused a lot of drama; I'm a patient/understanding person but I have my limits and there was some serious BS with the that species


aaaah yes, she's gettin' all sorts of lovin's //smooches her my bae v w v<3

oooooh that'd be a pretty sweet idea! I can totally do special adoption batch in celebration of halloween and the species' revival huhu
hmmm any ideas for that event?
god so do I omg

yeeeeeeeeees
we'll need a registration app, y/y?

since you're an admin you can have special permission to give him two tails bb

DancingWithDreams In reply to GrimmTail [2015-09-28 18:41:37 +0000 UTC]

because I like comment stalking--
you said "oooooh that'd be a pretty sweet idea! I can totally do special adoption batch in celebration of halloween" 
so that brings me to question-- would we be allowed to have more then 1 DK now? ; n ; or are we all still limited to 1? :C (cause if I remember correctly it was strictly one per person aksjfbasdf )

GrimmTail In reply to DancingWithDreams [2015-09-28 22:33:39 +0000 UTC]

Jess pls omg I do it too

yeah! Since in their new lore Dreamkeepers aren't bound to one person then I saw no reason that we can each only have one
I just don't want anyone hoarding them all

DancingWithDreams In reply to GrimmTail [2015-09-30 12:31:47 +0000 UTC]

Aaaaah okay ; U ; well that makes me very excited <333 always wanted two or three babs but I didnt think that would ever be possible askdjfbasdf
and I understand the hoarding thing; so maybe at least put a limit on the amount people can have? ; 3 ; so people learn to only get the ones they want rather then just getting them to have them

GrimmTail In reply to DancingWithDreams [2015-09-30 19:59:23 +0000 UTC]

Heh heh yeah, i always wanted Nightingale to have some pals

Yeah I'm still trying to decide on a limit

Senkaishii In reply to GrimmTail [2015-09-28 04:18:09 +0000 UTC]

Honestly I just want to make a group for the members to hangout, rp/ship, and do art of their characters. I hate the drama/bs with that group too but I seriously had some fond memories with everyone and their cats.


<3


A mysterious galactic haunted house has entered their dimension and is causing all sorts of strange things to happen. Weird monsters, a strange noise coming from the house's basement, and odd potions every now and then which are rumored to change a dream keeper's appearance! Best be careful!

(depending on how many participate could have 1-3 potions, two rare DKs and a Mutant DK. I'm thinking Ghost, Jack-o-Lanturn/Horseman, and the mutant, Cerberus)


Oooh a registration app sure~ would you like it to be simple :3

GrimmTail In reply to Senkaishii [2015-09-28 04:47:50 +0000 UTC]

yeah definitely, it was fun when you had people who actually gave a shit about giving them personalities and stuff
I loved shipping and roleplaying.
