Description

Name: Warren Hartgrave
Known Aliases: Joshua Hendrix, Carson Beckett, Vince Drummer, Graham Anderson, Harry Lewis, Kyle Fisher, Thomas Young, Frank Wright, Brandon Francis
Public Name: The Dreammaster
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Hero/Villain Outfit: None- He uses his powers to alter how people see him, so no one can recognize him.
Villain or Hero: Whichever is more fun at the moment. (Neutral)
Power 1: His main power is to generate a dream world around his target. He has full control over this world, and while 'instant' deaths will not cause any lasting effects on the real world, slow deaths can cause minor brain damage and, occasionally, put a character in a coma. When someone is killed instantly, they will wake up from the dream with minor disorientation. He can only maintain one dream at a time, and the more people he places in the dream, the more he has to concentrate. He cannot function in everyday life if he is maintaining a dream of over two people, as the effort it takes the maintain the dream makes it so he cannot devote any attention to the real world. If he tries to place too many people in a dream, his brain won't even be able to concentrate on making him breathe and he will pass out and the dream will end.
Power 2: Memory theft- as a variation on the dream power, he can use the memories of a person to construct a dream that includes information Warren would not already know. If he wishes to keep any of this information once the dream ends, however, he must enter the dream himself and learn or read about it.
Power 3: Warren can alter the way people perceive objects in the real world, but he can only make minor changes. The shape, weight, and dimensions will stay the same, but things like lettering, colors, and similar pieces can be altered. He uses this to rearrange his facial features and hair color/style so that he cannot be recognized, and very few people have actually seen his born face. He usually changes his face day-to-day, and can be hard to recognize each morning to those who do not know him well.
Lair/home: A small apartment in the city.
Affiliates: His landlord, Jason Thorne, is under his thumb due to his sleepwalking disorder. Otherwise, he keeps to himself.

Personality

Warren keeps to himself. He will use his powers for personal gain, but rarely causes any harm or even does any 'major' events. He doesn't have a job, instead getting food by placing the cashiers at stores in minor dreams so they perceive him paying and give it to him for free. He usually spends his time at home in self-induced dreams which he plays like video games. Sometimes, when he is bored, he'll stay up at night and alter his neighbor's dreams. He rarely goes out of his apartment, but once the NCCPD asked for superhero help, he started paying attention to what was happening in the city and will often interfere in the heroes' and villains' plans. Sometimes, he'll toss other super-powered people into dreams together and pit them against one another. However, he does have a moral system and will never bring real harm to a person if he can hep it.

Equipment

When Warren is using his powers, he operates under the following limitations:

1 person: Can operate normally, no extreme activity. Absolute control of dream.
2 people: Can operate, but will seem distracted. Absolute control of dream.
3-6 people: Still aware of surroundings, but cannot move. Still capable of speech. Absolute control of dream.
6-10 people: Can hear surroundings, but cannot speak or see. Can't manipulate large inanimate objects (buildings, etc.)
10-13 people: Completely unaware of surroundings. Can't manipulate anything he couldn't carry in real life.
13+:Unable to maintain lungs, will pass out after the maximum amount of time he can hold his breath. (1.5 minutes) Dream will falter, and the dreamees will have minor control over the reality.

History

Warren ran away from home when he was 15, and has since used his dream abilities to freeload off of the people around him. He had trouble with people around him learning of his deceptions, and is known to a few police departments, but he has become adept at staying off the record. For a while, he had to move around every few weeks, until he found a landlord, Jason Thorne, who sleepwalks. Ever since then, he has been able to use his powers to make Thorne do anything he wants. Ever since then, he has been living in the same building, using Thorne to get food and general products.

He still does practice dreams when he can- he will often place 13 people in a dream as practice to try to expands the size of a dream he can create. This method is how honed his abilities from when he originally discovered his powers, when he could only place two people in a dream at a time, and even then only with cosiderable effort.

So begins...

Rylie kept scratching Adana as the dog's tail began to thump the floor. She smiled at her. “Let's see what alternatives we can come up with before we begin trying to use you as a pack mule, alright?”

A wet tongue ran up her face and then the dog settled down into her lap. Rylie changed the scratching to a soft, soothing rubbing of Adana's back.

Looking at Zoey, her jaw set, Rylie nodded back. She wasn't sure UNE involved was a good idea but Zoey was also correct that R&D would want the military to stay away so they could study it. Slippery slope. “Maybe we save them as an option. I see your point but I am wary to bring them in.”

She wondered how long it might be before they were the only option. Rylie looked over at Daniel, the corners of her mouth turning up ever so slightly. “Trusting the military personnel in this room....and I can juggle watermelons...”

There had been very little trust or respect between most in this room but at least right now the tension wasn't threatening to overwhelm everything. Anger seemed to have taken a backseat to an attempt at being sensible.

It was such a complicated situation, and their biggest obstacle was the very thing they were trying to protect. Rylie looked over at John. He was obviously weighing all the options. She didn't envy his position in this.

His question took Rylie completely off guard. She rubbed Adana's fur and went very quiet. Rally supers? Her face remain cold and impassive. She was in the city to find and interview them. She hadn't found many and she highly doubted that with the fighting breaking out more would be jumping up to be counted. Still...it was worth a try.

“You want me to see how many I can round up to help? Defend the area. I can try. I do not honestly know how many will being willing to help, assuming I can even find them.” She held up a hand to stop any potential comments. “I will see what I can do.”

Adjusting her legs, Rylie moved Adana off of her lap. “Anyone have names or hiding places here in NC where I can start looking? Otherwise I will just head out and see what I can uncover.”

Daniel stared at John for a while, the question catching him by surprise. He hesitated again when Rylie asked everyone in the warehouse her question; sure he knew a few people with powers but a lot of them were already involved in the gangs and of the ones that weren't, half didn't know Daniel existed and the other half probably wouldn't trust him. "I really can't give you any names," He finally responded, "and I am a little worried about trying to rally them. Defending the area I could handle if it's really needed, particularly at night when my powers are much more useful."

Plus being able to move around that freely with no one question opens a lot of opportunities. He silently added, glancing around the warehouse again. At this point, he was considering bringing up a vote on their course of action but he wasn't sure yet that it would turn out the way he wanted. Mind racing through situations and decisions, he continues to watch and wait.

"You're forgetting something again," Daniel says with a smile, "I can teleport and so long as I do not try and push the distance on the individual jumps, I can teleport a lot. If you need someone to get to the docks, I can manage it in three hours easy." He stands and stretches, subtly checking his weapons as he does so. "I could probably bring someone with me, although that would take longer and exhaust me."

Rylie listened as Adana told her about the few powers she knew of. Looking at Daniel, she realized that he wouldn't be of help in the recruitment but he could be in the defense. His powers at night would be extremely useful.

“Understood and if you think rallying the ones you know isn't a good idea then we don't. We don't want to set off a chain reaction and make this situation worse.”

Nodding a little to Ember, “Thank you. The docks is where I will start then.” The volley of shells near by shook the building a little. Rylie frowned. It would be out of character to ask for transport and not bring the powers back to the UNE. “I don't think that is a good idea...they might assume anyone I visit or move is about to join the UNE. Not something we want.”

The time to travel the city would be a factor. Once there it was a matter of talking. Then getting them back again. Her head hurt. The dull ache getting a bit worse as she tried to figure out what to do. Reaching for her pouch, Rylie extracted the small bottle and popped two of the painkillers. Her eyes were closed when Daniel offered a suggestion.

Opening them she looked at the man. “If you are willing to take me then we can see if we can find an alternate way back here with anyone willing to help. But I can also find a way on my own if you feel it would be stretching you ability too far. It will do us no good if we exhaust our powers too much. If you wish to go alone, so be it and I hope your have good recruiting skills.” At this she smiled slightly. For a man who worked for so many gangs as a gun for hire essentially she knew he would have to be at least half way decent at making deals.

Rylie waited. She had no desire to exhaust Daniel by making him take her and she could make her way across the city as well, all be it longer but still....

Daniel nods to Rylie, "I did offer to take someone." He says lightly, mentally drawing his powers and picturing the best route to reach the docks.

"If you want to try to make your own way there," He replies to Adana, "I am not about to stop you although there will likely be a lot of military personnel in your way."

The general outline of a route was forming in his head now, anything more specific being next to impossible at this time of day. That didn't bother Daniel at all though while he glanced at the other supers in the warehouse, "I would suggest taking a weapon but not much else," He says with another look at Rylie, "but I intend to avoid just about everyone between here and the docks. Let me know when you're ready." Behind the sunglasses his eyes become dark pits of shadow as he pulls the shadows of the warehouse into an area around him, large enough to fully contain himself and one other person.
