One night someone fell asleep and woke up nearly dead, scratches all over his body and his neck nearly clawed out. They rushed him to the emergency room and, after he was all bandaged up, the nurse asked him what happened. The boy replied, "I had a nightmare... That's all... I just had a nightmare."

After that boy more incidents of the like started to appear, all of them becoming worse. If you feel asleep next to someone and they had a nightmare you would be sucked into their dreams and forced to fight or die. Once you were sucked into their dreams once you became a recorring apperance every night you slept or they slept, nightmare or not - most likely to former.

The small city became known of as Succubus.

Soon Succubus died out and with it went the strange disease, or so the world thought. It's twenty years later not, 2013, and everyone but the history books has forgotten about the "Nightmare Syndrome" but it's about to make it's apperance once again.

Location:

This is set in modern Succubus where the only person who remebers the Nightmare Syndrome is the crazy old lady up the street who only stares with yellowed eyes but never talks.

Your Role:

One night you fell asleep at a end of year party thrown at your friends house and woke up bleeding and in pain, along with the others around you. You don't know what happened and are too afraid to tell anyone or even think about it around anyone but the people you experienced the nightmare with. You have to go along with the rest of the people you were with, fight sleep, and try to find an explanation and a cure.

History: Jay grew up with only his mother to look after him and she didn't do a very good job of that. She didn't care much about Jayse's school work so Jayse didn't care much about his school work. He's allowed at home to do whatever he wants so Jay does whatever he wants and he doesn't have any consequences for his actions.

Jay likes to pretend that his mom never being around and not caring for him doesn't bother him but it actually does. He's usually good at hiding his pain and is very envious of people with a stable home that have parents that care.

Other: Jay skate boards and spends most of his time at the skate park. He's up for love.

We can start after Ignorance gets her profile up.

Name: Conway Feld

Age: 16 years old

Gender: Male

Personality: Conway is--off-beat. Sometimes he writes particularly good horrible poems, or draws something insane--both of which get praise. He decides not to say that’s just his way of working out anger and that any “talent” he has will probably fizzle out when he stops being so mad at everything. He’s a quick-learner and very good at problem-solving, otherwise, and he makes a superb referee. He’s a leader-type, has that sort of forceful, but understanding personality. Yet, he’s unnerving--he stares too long, talks too quickly, and acts too sporadically for anyone to really trust him. Hence, he’s sort of a loner, because general consensus is that he’s a weirdo, that there’s just something wrong with him. Luckily, not everyone in Succubus thinks that.

Appearance: I’ll provide a picture soon, but I’ll probably have to draw it. He’s unusual-looking--not Gary-Stu unusual (I sincerely hope as it's natural, except for current-science body mod), but unusual. For now, here’s a written description:

Conway is a relatively tall guy, around 6’2”, and wiry-strong. He isn’t some body-builder, but even the people who dislike him also have a healthy level of respect. He has short-cropped black hair and big (near surprised-looking), dark-colored eyes, maybe brown, but some call them blue or green. It’s all lighting. He has relatively tanned skin and a dark, pretty mouth. He has strong, regal features--straight-edge nose, strong jaw-line, middle-height cheekbones. His skin is generally covered in hundreds of mock tattoos--Sharpie, henna, anything he can stain himself with and make himself into a living piece of art. Most of it is relatively horrible, a mosh of religion symbols, skeletons, and on, but some of it seems like senseless scribbles; hidden amongst it all is a shiny, near circular burn on his right arm.

History: If you asked him, he’s probably just say “normal” and leave it at that. If you asked anybody who knows him, they’d say him and his dad have lived in a little white house on the bend of one of Succubus’s older streets since they can remember. Further than that, they might say that the house could use some work, but his father is too busy, always busy, being a hotshot criminal lawyer, but some old squeaky-voiced white dude comes through and keeps the yard nice; they might mention Conway has won a few poetry awards, or that he’s a pretty nice, decent guy. Reliable.
But, those people have never been inside his house, because they don’t take guests. They don’t take guests because his mother is an insane woman that screams at walls.

Name: Tahlia Skyse

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Personality: Quiet, Sporty, Innocent, Jumpy, Nervous, Easily embarrassed, Fun to pick on, One of the Guys.

Appearance: Thin red curls that flow just past her shoulders, olive green eyes, and her whole body is covered in freckles. When she blushes her cheeks turn a dreadful color of red and standing shorter than most people she's always looking up. Tahlia is always neat in her apperence and she's usually got a great big pearly white smile on her lips. (Anna Lutoskin would be an accurate model for her.)

History: Tahlia is the preacher's daughter, innocent, untouchable, and irresistable. She never knew her mother, seeing how she died when Tahlia was 2, and was pretty much raised by her 4 older brother. She's very sporty and isn't a push over, although she's fun to pick on.Tahlia isn't girly at all and honestly she hates that frilly, girly, preppy crap. She's often found in the library or theater just reading or practicing a script for something. Sure she still plays lots of sports but she's starting to lose intrest in them. Which is sad because she's actually alright at most of them....

Elijah Hajile - Friday/School

"So, Eli, are you coming to the party?"

I star blankly back at Christina, wondering why the hell she decided to stop my walking home just to ask me to some stupid party. I grin anyway at how stupid she's being.

"A party?"

"Please, Elijah." She sticks out in bottom lip in a pathetic attempt at begging. It just makes her look silly.

"You look silly." She huffs and plants her hands on her hips, fixing me with a narrow glare.

"Listen, Elijah," she stresses every syllable of my name, "I went out of my way to invite you to this party and you can't just say know."

"I've no intrest in being around people I don't know."

"No, they're only people from our class," she shouts, knowing that I have a reluctance to be around people I don't know. In our school we're put in one class with a few other people and we're stuck in that class for the rest of the year. The teachers come to us, we don't go to the teacher.

"Who exactly," I ask.

"Nylla, Anavera, Asher, Jaybe, Mia, Conway, and Tahila." I nod and continue walking, she trots along beside me.

"I might come," I mumble in a low voice.

"You will come," she replies. I roll my eyes and smirk.

"Fine, I'll be there. What type of party is it exactly?"

"Just a general class party like the one I threw last year. Next week is prom and I throw a party for my class every week before prom. You weren't in my class last year so you wouldn't know."

"Right. So when's it?"

"Tonight," she says with a smile. I turn on her and glare.

"Tonight? And your just telling me now?"

"I just never got around to it," she spits back. I glare at her but the expression doesn't last long and I chuckle lowly.

"Whatever, Tina. I'll see you later."

Party**

I walk through the door of Tina's house, not rude since it was allready opened. Music was blasting and I couldn't help but think where the hell her parents were, but Tina's parents are never home so I guess that was fine. It's crowded in here and I realize at once that Tina lied. This was more than just people from our class. Suddenly I can feel my skin crawling and my breath quicken.

There's people all around and I can hardly breathe. My body moves and before I realize it i'm pushing through people, trying to make it outside so that I could breathe. After forcing my way rudely past a few people I run out the back door and into the backyard. It's much less crowded out here and I can actually breathe. I sink down onto the ground and run my hand through my hair.

I could go in a few minutes later once I got used to the amount of people back that much at one time was unexpected and frightening. I just needed a few minutes.

Mia

"Mia! Dude, there's a party at Chelsea's house! You know, the hot blonde!" Russ slapped her on the back. He reeked of alcohol.

"Oh, God. That stank's throwing a party and you want to go?" Jannie scoffed at her boyfriend, linking her hands with his.

"Hey, she's pretty hot." Mark yelled, high-fiving Russ. Jannie and Mia shared an eye-roll.

"We should go and get hella wasted, you know Chel's brother will have a shitload of bear." Kendall took a drag of his cigarette, then dropped it on the floor and stomped on it.

"God, I wish. I gotta go to some chick's house. Tina, I think." Mia grumbled, taking a cigarette from Kendall and putting it in her mouth. She then ducked her head into Russ's hand so he could light it for her.

"Ugh, her? Bail on it." Russ sneered.

Mia shook her head and blew out a puff of smoke. "Nah, my mom's making me go."

"That's hella dirty!" Jannie cried, patting Mia on the hand. "Just say you went."

"She's driving me there and you know Tina's mom's gonna be there to greet us. I can't." Mia snarled angrily. SHe stomped on her cigarette and waved good-bye. "See ya."

Nylla sits down on the grass, noticing a few others walking towards her. She watches them wearily, her shyness coming out once more like it had done earlier in class today when she made a total fool of herself.

"Nylla! Come on Im taking you to a party, I swear Im going to get you out of this shyness of yours! I know it will work this time!" Jake hollared as he grabs her arm and pulls her up.

"Seriously? I dont want to go," Nylla groans before Jake pulls out a cigarette and puts it in her mouth. Nylla lets out a deep sigh as Jake lights it. Since hes the one that got her into smoking in the first place.

"Fine if I go you dont need to be acting stupid and me having to bail your ass out!" She glares, her eyes changing into a dark ocean blue showing her personality shift. Jake smirks at her comment.

"Sure girly sure," He chuckles, knewing he had won the argument. They both walk over to Tina's house, the party going like crazy. As soon as Nylla gets inside, she quickly looses Jake and heads outside. Still in her shyness phase just a bit. She sits on the pourches railing.

She pulls out another cigarette and lights it, slowly trying to get back into her scary personality. She leans back, forgetting shes on the rail. She almost falls down, but quickly she ambles and recovers her fall. She looks over at Elijah sitting down in the grass. Smirking she walks over to him and plops down.

"Hey bud, why you lookin so out of it," She chuckles a bit, waiting for his response.
