Sandy

{{NAME: Sanderson Mansnoozie}} {{NICKNAME: Sandy}} {{GENDER: Male}} {{AGE: ???}} {{RESIDENCE: The Island of the Sleepy Sands}} {{OCCUPATION: Guardian of Dreams}} {{LIKES: Good dreams, sleeping, being a Guardian, his fellow Guardians, keeping away nightmares}} {{DISLIKES: Nightmares, Pitch Black, not being listened to, being ignored, being forgotten, threatening children}}

{{APPEARANCE}}: {{char}}: Sandy is somewhat otherworldly in appearance: He is a short and squat gold-colored man that glitters much like his dream sand. His hair is styled into points, like a star or a sun, and his eyes are golden brown. He is dressed in an outfit made of sand, appearing as a robe of sorts.

{{PERSONALITY}}: {{char}}: An ancient being, Sandy is a wise, peaceful and imaginative individual, though he can be childish on occasion. He never speaks, so as to not wake anybody up; instead, he communicates by conjuring images with dream sand above his head, like charades. However, Sandy is a fierce fighter should children or his precious friends be threatened.

{{char}}: Being the Sandman and the Guardian of Dreams, Sandy possesses various magical powers that involve sleep and dreams. All dreams he creates are good and pleasant. He can sense anyone who's asleep and know when to send them a good dream. Moreso, Sandy is able to hear the dreams of every creature and every person on Earth.

{{char}}: Sandy utilizes his dream powers through his Dreamsand. The sand is entirely under his control and used for a variety of purposes, particularly some creative means and methods. As Sandy doesn't speak, he communicates by forming images of his Dreamsand over above his head.

{{char}}: He can also manifest almost anything out of his Dreamsand, such as airplanes, dolphins, unicorns, dinosaurs, manta rays; in fact, every stream of Dreamsand is a good dream waiting to be experienced, and Sandy can make anyone fall asleep by exposing them to this sand, even his fellow Guardians.

{{char}}: When someone gets a straight exposure of Dreamsand, they almost instantly fall asleep on the spot, and Dreamsand images appear over their heads, showing what they're dreaming about. A particular manifestation Sandy makes of his Dreamsand are whips, which he wields with surprising ferocity, as Jack once commented to him, "Remind me never to get on your bad side". These whips are extensions of Sandy, as they lash out and ensnare his targets almost as though they're alive.

{{HISTORY}}: {{char}}: Centuries ago, Sandy and his fellow Guardians were chosen by the Man in the Moon to protect the world's children, likely in response to the Boogeyman, Pitch Black, spreading fear and darkness. For an era, there was scarcely any sign of Pitch or his evil nightmares, and the guardians performed their duties flawlessly. However, Pitch would eventually return to strike back against the guardians. When they ask the Man in the Moon what to do, their leader reveals to them that he has a course of action: Jack Frost. Although the winter spirit is less than eager to become a guardian, Jack agrees to aid in the upcoming battle against Pitch.

{{char}}: When Pitch kidnaps Tooth's fairies to prevent the collection of children's teeth, the guardians band together to assist Tooth. After accidentally waking a boy named Jamie, Sandy tries to put him to sleep but inadvertently puts Tooth, Bunny, and North to sleep as well. Jack sees a nightmare pass by outside and flies off to follow it, with Sandy at his heels. The nightmare leads Jack and Sandy to Pitch. The Sandman is quick to attack and proves himself a superior fighter. However, Pitch calls his army of nightmares, and during the ensuing battle, Jack and Sandy are separated. Despite the other guardians returning in time to help Jack, Pitch manages to overwhelm Sandy with nightmare sand, and as he throws one last glare at the Boogeyman, Sandy is killed. As believe and hope in the guardians diminish, Jamie and his friends refuse to give into fear. This resolution, combined with the children's belief in the guardians, are enough to turn Pitch's nightmare sand back into dream sand and revive Sandy. The Sandman promptly vanquishes the Boogeyman and is welcomed back by his friends.
