Some of you may recognize this piece... Not only did I post this long ago in my Scraps, but David Lillie also posted it on his own page here: dreamkeepers.deviantart.com/ar…
About six years ago, I commissioned the Dreamkeepers crew to draw my character Voltage being a badass, and it turned out to be an inspiration to create my own Dreamkeeper! And now, I have an opportunity to show him off.
In the Dreamkeeper world, he is Nimbus, a wolf with a similar power over electricity, though that's where the similarities end. Below is his introductory tale:
"Nimbus is a wolf raised in Theophanies district, growing up within the Sacrare order and later becoming an archivist. Fascinated with Anduruna’s history, he had no qualms reading the order’s more suppressed works, believing suppression doesn’t change what happened or stop one from learning from it. He would sequester himself for hours reading of ancient wars where powers were weapons and nightmares were not the ghost tales modern society claimed. As years went by he became disillusioned with the faith after witnessing his superiors squander tithes, extort the poor, and even cavort with local gangs. He questioned his own piety when others around him freely abused their positions yet looked down on the carefree whims of nearby Kojiki district. The thought of becoming so hypocritical only drove him back to his historical texts, finding comfort in stories of heroes and adventure.
Nimbus’ superiors caught on to his growing admonition. They feared the CCA coming down on them for his reading of forbidden history, and sent the Neons after him one night. After a vicious chase, Nimbus was beaten and nearly dead. He wondered if his faith even mattered against the claws and blatant power use of the Neons, against the hypocrisy of his superiors, against everything taught to him was wrong… then his power erupted. A storm surged around him, igniting his foes and leaving him alive, but in smoking tatters. He escaped into Kojiki and thought hard about his life. What mattered now?
The same rebellious streak that influenced his reading of the suppressed texts encouraged him to experiment with his power, wondering if the old stories were suppressed for a reason. If criminals could use their power like the heroes of old, then why not him in protecting himself?
And regarding nightmares… well, the texts haven’t lied yet…"
Nimbus is slated to face off against another OC in the tournament next week on the 8th (this Sunday!), so keep an eye on
and vote for him!
