hello, this is blue ( 18+ , she/her ) with her muse, nam jaeyi, a law major who is lost in the dream of youth. below you can find a very short tl;dr of her alongside the useful links. do give this post a like ( follow and turn on notifications ) if you don’t mind me bothering you for plotting purposes !

 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ tl;dr

─ ⠀ ⠀ nam jaeyi, was born to prosecutors, on december 27, 1997. both of her parents own a proper reputation in the industry, hence, her father decided to pursue another career by joining the next elections. 

─ ⠀ ⠀ she is the youngest of the twins. being part of a blissful and well-to-do family gave her a chance to attend a prestigious academy from a young age and become a successful student, who will soon begin to follow her parents’ steps.

─ ⠀ ⠀ growing up, she has been often said that her biggest weapon is not only her mind but also her appearance and youth. therefore, she is extremely keen on eternal youth even now.

─ ⠀ ⠀ her teen years were decent, she did not have anything to worry about and had quite a long time in her life to get bored. thus, she found her entertainment in online communities, where people talked about books, movies, music and everything else that grabbed their interest. that's also how she came across a post about dream patterns later on.

─ ⠀ ⠀ she is a seoul national university student, majoring in law.

─ ⠀ ⠀ she has never been keen on dreams, whether they are good or bad, thus, has polyphasic sleeping habits, a dymaxion cycle; only two hours of sleep per day, in the form of thirty-minute naps every six hours. 

─ ⠀ ⠀ she has first seen her dream pattern a year ago, in the form of both good and nightmare. ever since, she has not seen it for months. on the beginning of her junior year in snu, she has begun to see the same dream almost every day.

( star, 18+, she/her, gmt+8. ) — ko eunchae ( & kim doyeon, weki meki ) is a twenty-two year old Dreamer dreaming a dream of the sky who has been part of the Collective for two months. she works as a former figure skater & barista at turtle & bird coffee and is known for being conscientious and detached. look closer, however, and you may find that she reminds you of crying in the mcdonald’s parking lot, not recognizing yourself in the mirror, and the smushed end of a new lipstick.

hi sweethearts! i am so embarrassingly late━so i will cut to the chase! here is ko eunchae, former figure skater who recently suffered an injury that took her entire figure skating career away from her....and current aimless drifting haze. i am not only late, but also horribly unprepared, so her pages are bare at the moment but you will find a rundown on her below the cut that will have basically everything you’ll need to know about her! drop a like to let me know i can come bother you for plotting ( and if d!scord is easier for you, feel free to ask for mine! ) 💕

as mentioned, she was a figure skater before joining the collective. she was training at the taereung training center, but basically got kicked out because she suffered an injury and will never be able to figure skate like before anymore.

that’s when the dreams started for her, and with some research, she found her way to the collective!

eunchae comes from your typical rich family that places all their grandiose dreams on their kids ( and her mum always wanted to be a national figure skater but never made it, which was the only reason why eunchae even began figure skating ), so they have completely no idea about her no longer being at taereung, much less that she’s here.

she currently resides in the south building ( god knows she needs that free housing ) and works as a barista at turtle & bird coffee to get by.

old eunchae, pre-injury, was definitely more of a people-pleaser, very golden girl material ( think claire standish from the breakfast club ) but now that she’s hanging in limbo, she’s just..... really stressed lol.

so she is now a lot more detached & distant than she used to be, and might come off as a little stand-offish?

she is slowly wrapping her mind around the idea that she will never get her old life back, but the more that’s happening, the more guilt and anguish creeps up on her. fun, fun!

she’s quite a new muse to me still, so i’m also getting the hang of her, and i know that right now i’m maybe making her sound terrible to be around... but please don’t let that stop you from coming to plot with us! i promise she’s better than i am making her sound.

also i have like half a brain cell at any single time & i’m terrible at intro posts, but i promise to do better when we’re actually plotting! i am so excited to see eunchae grow alongside all your wonderful muses, and i’m always down for anything━all the good, bad, and ugly ( & especially the ugly! ) ♡

° ☁ 。woo sunjae

woo sunjae ( & min yoongi, BTS ) is a twenty-seven year old Dreamer dreaming a dream of snowfall who has been part of the Collective for two months. He works as a painting instructor and is known for being beguiling and serpentine. Look closer, however, and you may find that he reminds you of vibrantly stained denim, the scent of musky cologne, and desperately trying to hold your eyes open.

about // pinterest // profile // wanted plots

sunjae was raised by his grandparents, as his parents were simply not well equipped to care for a child. as a result, he's extremely close to them even to this day, while he really hasn't made much contact with his parents.

always had a bit of anxiety growing up, as well as abandonment issues for obvious reason. still, he always tried his best to be lighthearted and positive.

he developed a love of painting, as it helped ease his anxiety. he'd spend hours in his room in silence, just painting away. he enjoyed the abstract style most of all, as it allowed him to mindless apply color to canvas without focusing.

he also found that he seriously enjoyed disappearing into the world of video games. his childhood, needless to say, was rather vibrant and colorful.

in secondary school, he'd blossomed quite a bit, growing out of his awkwardly anxious phase and into a charming, handsome young man. he found it far easier to make friends than he had at younger ages, and the romantic attention he was garnering grew as well.

there was a particular girl that he blushed furiously at every time they passed in the hallway. he'd never quite liked someone like this since he'd grown into a more popular figure, so he was barely aware of what to do outside of the cool new persona he'd established himself as around the school.

thankfully, she was adept enough to take the lead, confessing her feelings before sunjae really had to worry about it. once the two were finally on the same page, they became inseparable. you'd rarely see one at school without the other, and the same could be said on the weekends, honestly!

once they'd both graduated, the two married in a small, but charming ceremony. life, though modest, was rather sweet in the early stages. one thing became staggeringly clear, though, they'd been deprived of a world beyond each other.

for three years, they experienced the highs and lows of becoming exclusive in high school and never really taking the time to explore life. partnering this with the both of them living their married life in a university dorm, and what was once two people joined at the hip slowly started to become two people who were finding themselves away from each other.

arguments about money started to become their sole interactions with each other, and though they still loved one another dearly, the painful decision to separate was made.

it wasn't long before being independent was the far more appealing route to take, and so a divorce was finalized between them, four years after they'd initially exchanged vows.

following the split, sunjae kinda became a ginormous flirt?? he's not really sure if he's just enjoying the ability to flex his flirt muscle without any strings attached, or if he's actually just trying to fill the romantic void his divorce left.

once he received his art degree, he'd settled into a job as a painting instructor at areum's arts & crafts, something that brought a lot of peace to his mind. he also began streaming some of his painting sessions, as he thought it might be something people want to watch. (lowkey wants to be the next bob ross but honestly might be a bit too much of a tortured soul for all that aksjdhf)

after witnessing the shooting star, the richter scale on sunjae's life began measuring out of control. though the dreams he was having seemed comforting at first, they soon began to devolve almost all the time into nightmares. his creative inclinations ramp up the frequency a bit, though he hasn't quite made that connection yet. it might devestate him if he does.

due to what scientists have observed about nightmares being driven by negative feelings, sunjae wonders if he has unresolved trauma of some kind, or maybe even lingering feelings of regret from the dissolution of his marriage.

either way, the dreams have reignited a lot of his childhood anxieties. the worst part of it all is that he seems convinced that someone else is present in some of the dreams, and if that's the case, they too are experiencing his hell. it drudges up a lot of guilt for sunjae, who would much rather suffer alone than spread it around.

upon learning of the dream collective, sunjae jumped at the chance to take part. he's hoping they can help him find out why his dreams have spun out of control, and maybe even who else is present in them.

he's taken to living at the facility so they can have access to him whenever they need him. plus, he feels much safer dreaming under their care. there are dualing sides of his mind when it comes to their organization; one side is quite skeptical of their intentions. would someone really just offer up free housing in the name of humanitarianism? the other side of him is innocently curious of all the secret knowledge they might possess about these very vivid dreams and the shooting star that caused them. the latter side is currently winning, possibly due to his desperation in resolving his issues.

[fromhasun]

( mercy, 21+, she/her, gmt-4. ) — yoo hasun ( & jung wooyoung, ateez ) is a twenty-two year old dreamer dreaming a dream of sparks who has been part of the Collective for ten months. he works as an ice skating instructor and is known for being trenchant and grudge-bearing. look closer, however, and you may find that he reminds you of ghost towns, a cutting gust of wind, and holding your breath for so long that your eyes burn with tears.

PROFILE :: BIO :: PLOTS :: STARTER IDEAS

hey streamers it’s mercy, here 2 introduce hasun, ur local washed up ice-skating-prodigy-turned-part-time-skating-instructor, nefarious speed demon, and hater of haters of pineapple on pizza. under the cut is a quick rundown of his personality + plot ideas & if you like this post i’ll come over n say hi!!

this is a muse who’s gone thru quite a few iterations tbh *smacks his head* this baby can pack so many au’s in him!! anyway, for self care, he pretends his past before the collective doesn’t exist. he’s unlikely to have deep past connections because he basically cut everyone from his past off rip (unless someone wants to plot some estranged siblings or smth bc id be so down), so if u want to just assume a basic connection through the collective and start a thread based on something from my starters page/another idea, lemme know hehe

personality:

[furious skating to rock bgm]

cool front but psychic: *looks in his brain* his brain: *is this* psychic: what the fuck

expert ghoster, has burned all bridges from his past and willing to do it again if necessary. joined the collective somewhat to figure out what was going on with the dreams (read: make them stop), but mostly because he felt so suffocated in his old life -- not that he’ll ever say much about it, and certainly nothing about his past as a gifted ice skater.

has Repressed energy but in a weird contradicting way bc he can be closed off but is VERY expressive with negative feelings (aka anger, complaints, dislikes, pet peeves). ice skating his one Love and the only way he can vent everything he’s feeling properly, even if it means staying out on the ice until his entire being’s numb and sore

his job is actually one of the few things he genuinely enjoys, but ironically, tragically, his resting bitch face leads people to believe otherwise

destructive but polite about it. like he’ll only wreck stuff that belongs to him or the government, not other people’s, ok

definitely knows he can be A Lot so he tries to minimize himself around other ppl he has no beef with. again, very polite. but if u irritate him....by god he will let it be known

kind of feral....like...very likely to get into a fight. unlikely to win but will go down swinging

kind of hates that he’s having these dreams and meeting others in them? because it feels v intimate and he’s one of those ppl who believe dreams are like....manifestations of ur deepest inner thoughts and stuff and he hates that others can access that part of him. so his fellow dreamers of sparks....if he sees u in his dream, he will probably bend over backwards trying to avoid u irl

he’s so lost? has absolutely nothing in mind about the future except “go forward,” and tbh, his personality has become so intense because of how hard he’s tried to pour himself into that one goal--because without it, what the hell does he have????

plot ideas:

lessons at the rink bro.... either people who hate him because of his stinky attitude or people who fear him LOL (not that theres really anything to be afraid of imo but ur muse can take this how they will ^I$$(#*)

ROOMMATE!! any gender!! i havent made anything canon abt where he lives except that it’s off campus, so if anyone needs a roommate hmu

someone who riles him up just as badly as he riles them up and it’s all snark and venom

fellow dreamers <333 he’s tamer in dreams and MIGHT EVEN SMILE OR LAUGH A LIL but he’d avoid them so bad irl TT

or get him drunk, he’s more fun then

someone who bails him out of fights he gets into

the actual person he almost gets into a fight with.........

someone who drags him out of the rink bc WHY is he still there at 1am

the Happy Optimistic One who offsets his attitude and somehow their dynamic works even tho on paper it sounds like a mess

someone who constantly sees him loitering around the butterfly house but never sees him go in bc he is scared of bugs LMFAO

if u read this far ily but if u didnt i still love u because i know it was kinda a lot gi990i43

Intro: Katriona Wells

FULL NAME: Katriona Wells NICKNAME: Kat AGE: 23 SPECIES: Human GENDER: Cis-Female SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual CLASS: Handmaiden, Serving-Class

Kationa, despite her position and station, never truly made the transition into the serving class of the Keep, remaining the mouthy and wild young girl she’d been growing up on the streets of the City of Illumination. Most of her life, Katriona could only dream of what lay inside the castle walls, living instead inside the brothel house in which her mother worked. For many years, life there was simple and carefree, until the time that Katriona’s mother decided she was old enough to earn her keep at the house as well. 

The night of her sixteenth birthday became notorious as the evening that the madam of The Velvet Touch would sell the maidenhead of her only daughter. Bids flew for weeks before one older duke of the court placed an amount far above the rest. Unfortunately for both him and Katriona, he made her skin crawl, and on the night of her birthday she climbed out of the bedroom window and ran down the dirty alley never to be seen again. She ran far and wide, across the city and into a gutter. Katriona lived on the streets only a few days but it was enough to know that when a man came by offering her a position in the palace, she should take it. Her sharp wit and warm smile earned her an easy promotion from scullery maid to handmaiden, a frequent cup bearer at all of the highest events, as well as the attention of many upstanding nobles. Her true dream was to become a mistress to one of those men, to sell herself in order to live a life of luxury by which she’d never known. However, this time, the man would be of her own choosing. 

This all changed however when the Empress announced her royal decree that all eligible maidens in the land come forward to be her bride. Confident she is, Katriona still isn’t sure if she stands a chance in the running, however it’s an opportunity the little girl the gutter just could not pass up. 

Potential Connections: 

Best Friend/Watchful Guide: Even with her charms, Katriona can be a lot to handle, especially for a handmaiden. In many instances she goes too far and has to rely on her closest friend to clean the mess up for her. This friend is more reserved than her, and more inclined to follow and maintain order in the class system. However, their guidance comes from a protective love that the two share. Can be any gender, preferably a fellow servant but can be any nobility with a few tweaks. 

Lordling in trouble: It would be a bit harsh to call him a victim of the young girl, as she could generally never hurt a fly, but rather a target of Katriona’s affections. A potential match for the servant to seduce. Whether he’s immune to her charms or not, Kat finds herself pursuing him. 

[jivantathewitch-blog]

hello!! it's very nice to meet you all! my name is lúa, i’m 19 and my timezone is cet. i’m so so excited to be here playing this beautiful soul that is jivanta, and i’m willing to plot with everyone! please like this post or message me if you’d like to chat :) i don't have any specific wanted connections in mind, i'm open to anything so feel free to come up with ideas.

under the cut you’ll find a bit of info on my character so you can have a general idea of who she is!

— the city of illumination would like you to meet jivanta, a thirty-one year old witch of the south and informer to iyara. she is cisfemale and homosexual, and is aligned with the lady of the mountain. their daemon is a peacock named ilesha and when they look in the mirror, they see deepika padukone.

 jivanta is from a humble village located near the whispering mountains (where iyara was hiding), in the southern part of the realm. her grandmother is the one who passed the gift of magic on her, but she died before jivanta was born, so she had to learn everything about her powers by herself. she had no idea that she was destined to be a cardinal witch because her mother loathed magic and never wanted her child to have the gift.

her particular powers are terrakinesis and, to a lesser extent, atmokinesis. these are very powerful gifts that could bring misfortunes, but thankfully jivanta has only used them for the good of her people, making them able to farm the rough stony lands and bringing gentler weather. she became some kind of leader to her folk, venerated and loved by them. jivanta has a noble heart and did this because she thought it was right, not to be put in a position of power. in fact, she kind of hated the attention that came with her “title”, but exploited her situation for the greater good.

some years ago, the witch was summoned to the court along with the other three, and has lived in the city since then. but she was different from her peers, refused to become a part of the dark court (among other things they wanted her to do), so in the end she was completely isolated, minding her own business but always in fear of the retaliations for her oppositional behaviour.

and then, she received news from her natal village about iyara and everything that was brewing back there, so jivanta headed home to put herself at iyara’s service. back in the city when she returned, she changed her character and became more involved, in order to extract information to pass on the rebel queen. 

of course, no one knows about this. jivanta knows these people doesn’t trust her for being so aparently bland, and she doesn’t trust them back. she’s just trying her best to be something she really doesn’t know how to be.
