The DreamCast of DreamWalkers: Sen Kimura and Medea Draven




I've actually done this before but the story is so different now from Medea's personality to Sen being the main male character. So, let's do this again. Btw, the dreamcast doesn't fit completely with my description but they are the closest I can find so far. 

Introducing:

Medea (Sarah Hyland)







"Medea is a female given name. From the Greek Μηδεια Medeia, possibly meaning either to ponder or cunning. In Greek mythology Medea was a sorceress from Colchis who helped Jason gain the Golden Fleece. They were married, but eventually Jason left her for another woman. For revenge Medea slew Jason's new lover and also had her own children by Jason killed."

The origin of her name is gruesome, but I like it. Hee.

Medea has short pixie dark hair, short, pale freckled skin, a toned curvy body, runner, average height. She's cute on the edges of beautiful with chubby cheeks. Medea is an ordinary girl who likes her simple pleasures. She likes reading and singing, but most of all, she loves running. She doesn't know what it is, but when she runs, it's like she's freeing her soul. When she's troubled or feeling a little suffocated, she runs until she could leave behind her problems.

Especially when she can't sleep. Medea has always suffered through night-terrors since she was a child and has trouble sleeping. Also sleepwalking, she often wakes up in strange places which is why she is equipped with a GPS tracker in form of a bracelet. 

She often wears comfortable clothes that's easy to move in, jeans+Tshirts, or short dresses with leggings. She likes to wear arm warmers or fingerless gloves. Medea is...tired and frustrated. She feels weak and helpless. She once tried to kill herself and she had been in an out of institutions for most of her life.

She tries her best for her parents who loves her very much and it's only because of her parents that Medea clings to every good in her life so she can push away the bad. 

Medea has a weakness for music and often sings to herself when she's scared or when she wants to drift to sleep, but she rarely sings nowadays. 

She doesn't have any friends because they tend to treat her strangely as if she was broken or dying. And Medea would rather stick a fork in her eye than to be around that kind of behavior.







Sen (Song Joong Ki)

Meaning of his name: "The Polish word for dream"

Black hair, black eyes, half-asian, pale skin. Tall, slender, pretty. Sen is a nurturer, in fact he hen-pecks his two teammates like crazy. 

Sen is very solid and very calm which of course makes him not too good on creativity (flights of fancy and frivolity seems to come hand-to-hand with creativity) but he is very dependable which is why he is team leader. 

With a deeply hidden wicked streak, Sen is amiable...until he doesn't want to be. He is meticulous, disciplined and conscientious. He is cautious with his desires and what he wants, he questions himself constantly which makes him equally frustrating but that same quality is what makes him a good team leader. He is open-minded and doesn't judge but is immovable once he decides on something. 

Born into a family of a distinguished lineage and mentored by his grandmother, one of the best in their line of work, Sen delivers on all expectations. He is the best of the best despite his age and is highly regarded in their community. In his team of three, he is the center, the lodestone, the northern star. He is what keeps them all together but in the progress of this story, his balance will be knocked off a bit so his teammates will be the one who keeps him steady for a change.

Introducing New Novel: DreamWalkers

DreamWalkers is one of my ideas that hasn't seen the light of day yet because of the concept. It is a novel that relies heavily on imagery so I want to get the help of a graphic artist. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I found one. In CC I think I found a sort of artistic-twin, it's not necessarily her skill (though she has that) but more of her vision that made me gravitate to her. She had made an amazing artwork for my debut novel Touched: The Sword and when I ask if she wanted to work on a project with me, she said yes. 

I hope she won't regret it.

Anyway, here's the run down.

In DreamWalkers, everything that is magic comes from the Fae (yes, I know. Finally a Fae novel. Me! Now, for those who don't know me, wouldn't know how weird this is. Those who do, knows how much the Fae freaks me out) who in turn gets their magic from nature.

But humans do what they do best adapt and invent and build and destroy. With nature dwindling fast, the Fae is threaten and with the Fae, magic. So a group of magic users made a deal with the Fae, that they will create a world for the Fae, but they would still keep their magic. 

The deal is made and the magic users conjured a space for the Fae and all creatures of magic to live in, a place where there would always be magic: in our dreams. 

The magic users carved a small space in all our dreams where the Fae can live and love and whatever, but they can never stay in one dreamscape for long for it will weaken the human; creating nightmares and night-terrors. But the Fae are the Fae and they do what they do best: swindle and trickery. 

So, a small part of the magic users formed a sort of Dream Police and called themselves DreamWalkers; humans who can insert themselves into dreams and patrol dreamscape after dreamscape, either ushering the Fae along and kicking ass when they need too.

DreamWalkers can only bring themselves (and clothes) into the dreams, so whatever weapons that have, they have to create it with their imagination. It is a skill that takes discipline, creativity and intense focus; imagining losing focus when you're in a fight with one of the Fae, resulting in losing your weapon, and possibly your life.

When they walk into a dream, they do really walk into a dream, it's not just their spirit but their corporeal self walking inside someone's dream, so if you are injured inside a dream, or Morpheus forbid, die, then you'd be wounded and dead in real life. 

Like the Fae, their power comes from nature so a DW usually lives beside a dense forest or at the least a garden to re-charge. 

A Walk is closely monitored, not unlike policemen doing patrols, they have shifts and dispatchers and etc.

Sadly, in exchange for their power, the DreamWalkers cannot dream themselves, so the younger generation often claims one dreamscape as their own.

I am going to start writing this novel along with me writing the sequel to my debut novel: The Sword for JanNaWriMo.

This is all I can share for today so...I hope you like it.
