Fae Nightmare Sans

Dream’s info :

Dream is a skeleton fae with yellow eyes. No flesh and no hair. Dream wears a golden circlet atop his head and royal attire, showing his status as the ruler of the Summer court. His attire consists of silk to absorb the warmth of the sun safety and for the dewdrops of water to slide off smoothly instead of getting absorbed by the fabric. When he attacks, he summons his staff and transforms it into a bow, and fires at his specific target.

Dream is the ruler of the summer in the fae realm (Summer court). As a byproduct of positive energy, Dream display a quirky, yet unconfident personality. While he is too talkative and over-dramatic, he does give concern that something terrible could happen and, in response, tries to settle down the issue.

Dream is bilingual, knowing both Spanish and English. Dream is a skeleton fae. His fae wings resemble one of a monarch butterfly. They are big and expansive. Dream is a just and kind ruler, and an equally lighthearted person.

Nightmare’s info :

Nightmare is Dream’s brother (also a fae), that rules over the Winter court. Nightmare is bilingual, knowing both Spanish and English. Nightmare is cold (literally and figuratively), blunt, and methodical, yet has respect for those in his own court and status like his own—court rulers.

Nightmare is a black goop covered skeleton with one teal eye (right) while his left eye is covered by the goop, and he has large teal morpho butterfly wings. He stays within his court (winter), being involuntarily weakened by Dream’s presence. When he does leave his court, he makes sure to keep a reasonable distance between himself and his brother. He usually sends messages to the other courts via a snow owl carrying parliament.

Nightmare also wears a silver circlet over his head, and royal attire to show his status. His royal attire is heavy yet also made of several different kinds of furs to keep his body warm, despite always being freezing cold to the touch. He prefers to keep his wings closed most of the time due to being covered by the winter regalia made by elven hands.

Nightmare rarely has his wings spread out, but when they are—you in danger and you made him snap. Running is your best option if it were to ever happen.

Error’s info :

Error is a black glitchy skeleton fae who rules over the autumn court. Error has the wings of a cinnabar moth. He is grumpy and kind of a man-child, aka, he is very sensitive (not in a sad way, but just sensitive with emotion). He likes staying in his court (Autumn), though Ink often finds a way to drag him out. Rumor has it that he makes most of the garments the faes under his rule wear, being an excellent weaver.

Error is a black glitchy skeleton with blue tear-like shaped markings under his eye sockets. His eyes are discolored—Left: a red sclera with a yellow comea and a blue pupil, Right: a red sclera with a white pupil. Error’s speech is very glitched, stutter-y, and distorted, changing pitch at random intervals.

Error wears a bronze colored circlet on his head and clothes that he weaved for himself, mostly consistent of soft thin wood from dying trees and cotton for the colder weathers, the clothes being mainly colored of autumn and a mixing of decay. He smells like sandalwood. Error doesn’t understand what any of the rulers are saying when they change languages, being the only one who solely speaks English, though he does know a bit of elven languages from Nightmare, though it is very broken.

Weaknesses : Physical Contact : Error has haphephobia (the fear of being touched) and is therefore very hesitant to get physically close to anyone. His love for chocolate : He also likes chocolate, which can be a down side. (If you think about it) Glitching (Error.Exe has crashed) : At random intervals, he can glitch up, filling his eye sockets with errors, giving him a major disadvantage if he's in battle. If Error had no strings, he would be a very easy problem to fix. Near-sighted : Error also cannot see things far away clearly. He also knows how to knit, sort of.

Ink’s info :

Ink is a skeleton fae who rules over the spring court. His eyes are normally yellow (left) and blue (right), though they do change based on the emotions he is feeling or expressing. Ink’s wings resemble a common brown moth, though there is splattered nectar at the tips of the wings, resembling paint. He is a very excited type of skeleton who rambles on and on until someone politely stops him. He is very artistic and loves all forms of art, though is commonly seen charcoal drawing or wood carving.

Ink wears a platinum colored circlet on his head and clothes that mostly consist of thin and soft cotton and linen. It is quite common for faes of the Spring court to be bare foot, if they are not bare foot, they are wearing toeless socks made of silk.

Ink is very forgetful, usually forgetting things a few seconds after being told something, so he write in a sketch book he always carries with him to remember. Ink is bilingual, knowing both French and English. Ink's eyes color change in the face of his emotions. With him hardly having a proper social understanding, he’s blunt in his teasing and mocking just like in his ability to give support and to be kind. He’s a mischief-maker, and pranks are his guilty pleasure.

Ink approaches enemies carefully. He will never try to attack them first, but will mostly focus on trying to discover their motives and talk them through it. Although he does come off as a jerk on first impression, he does know what to analyze to understand the issue so he can brush people the right way and hopefully have them listen. Ink in general acts wittily and provocatively.

In the long run, Ink is generally optimistic, has a sense of kindness, In the more serious side, he objectively tries to reason with anyone, and only follows who he finds his best friends.

Ink is the one who recommended to Error to use his strings to weave clothes, and while Error brushed him off back then, he’s secretly proud of Error and his creativity in weaving clothes for himself and the faes in the Autumn court.

Error and Ink aren’t related to Dream or Nightmare, not each other.

All are male faes.

Dream and Nightmare are brothers.

A Fae, often mistakenly known as a Fairy (a species apart of the Fae), is an entity that belongs to the realm of mythical beings in European folklore. They are typically characterized as ethereal, otherworldly, and supernatural spirits, and can be classified as such.

The Fae are known to go by numerous names, with their primary title "fairies" derived after their homeland, the realm of Faerieland. Other than faeries, fey and Fair Folk, they are also referred to as Kind Ones, Little People, Good Neighbors, and various other euphemisms, this variety in nomenclature can be attributed to both the extensive diversity within the fairy realm and the ancient superstitions surrounding invoking their names. In folklore, the Fae were held responsible for a wide range of mischievous and harmful activities, spanning from minor acts like petty vandalism and theft to more serious offenses, including kidnapping and outright murder. They were often believed to be the cause of livestock falling ill or dying, leading travelers astray during the night, or luring individuals to their doom near bodies of water such as ponds and rivers. When provoked, fairies were even said to take lives.

Fae were said to have inhabited the spiritual realm before humans ever set foot on Earth, or perhaps even before humans were created as a whole. Their true origins is largely shrouded in mystery as even a majority of the fae themselves are unsure of where they came from or who created them, although one implication point towards the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Irish pantheon of gods, who created the fae race from "stardust" to be their assistants or servants in mending and overseeing the development of nature itself.

The world of the fae encompasses several distinct types, which are often separated into courts. While most believe that the fae are ruled by only two courts, that being the Seelie and the Unseelie, there are actually six courts with numerous chiefs whom act as the ruling body of the Fae. These chieftain fairies would distinguish themselves by wearing a ring of gold, called a "circlet", around their head.

The two most well known courts are the respected but feared Seelie Court who are amoral in regards to mortals and the most feared and malicious were the Unseelie Court who would often attack and harass mortals without cause or reason. The former consisted of fairies, elves, leprechauns and lake maidens and other nature spirits while the latter consisted of redcaps, goblins, hags, hiisi and other malicious spirits, who were , were known for attacking and harassing mortals without provocation.

Beyond these courts, there were other fairy groups and individuals, although they were generally amoral concerning mortals, ruling with a manner reminiscent of ancient gods, evoking both vengeance and fear. While the majority of the fae were believed to reside in the continent of Europe, there were also fae in other parts of the world, such as Jengu in West Africa, Peri in the Middle East and Dokkaebi in Korea. Additionally, there were various other fae tribes, like the Haltija and Haldjas. The Sluagh are , a horde of restless spirits and fairies of the undead, was a source of caution and fear for both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts.

Seelie Court: Seelie means "blessed" or "holy" These faeries tend to be more benevolent & will always repay favors, but they also avenge insult. They are prone to mischief and the word "silly" comes from their name. They are typically kinder & have a brighter disposition.

Summer Court: The Summer Court is subordinate to the Seelie Court. They gain power at the Spring equinox. They represent mature life and their focus is on sustaining life, making more pragmatic decisions than the Spring court. They tend to be more arrogant and are capable of cruelty, but are polite well-mannered.

Spring Court: The Spring court is also subordinate to the Seelie Court, so they share key values with the summer court. Spring court fae are very focused on nature, growth, and life. They are cheery, peppy, and calmer than the Summer court. They embody the qualities of Spring.

Unseelie Court: The Unseelie Court is typically viewed as the opposite of the Seelie court. They are more malicious and nearly always unfavorable to humans. These faeries are not always evil but they tend to prefer harming rather than helping. Unseelie faeries like to travel in a group at night and assault travelers physically, mentally, and emotionally, especially if they are spiritually ignorant.

Winter Court: The Winter Court is subordinate to the Unseelie Court and gains its power at the Autumn equinox. They epitomize the qualities of Winter. They tend to be more malevolent, but view life and death both as important forces. They are sensible and calculating with a darker disposition. They can be quite cruel.

Autumn Court: The Autumn court is also subordinate to the Unseelie court. They are associated with death and decay and are as equally malevolent as the Winter court. They do a lot of the "dirty work" and trooping for the Winter court. They believe in the expressing of all emotions.

CAUTION FOR HUMANS WHEN INTERACTING WITH FAE'S:

Etiquette and warnings

Be respectful: Always be polite and courteous, but be wary of being overly flattering.

Never say "thank you": This can be seen as acknowledging a debt you may owe them. It is better to say "I'm grateful" or simply offer a kind smile.

Do not give your name: Avoid giving your full name, and instead use a nickname or a made-up name.

Keep your promises: Never make a promise to the fae unless you are absolutely certain you can keep it, as they take promises very seriously.

Avoid their gifts and food: Never accept a gift from a fae you don't trust, and do not eat or drink anything they offer.

Don't lie, but be careful with truth: While they are masters of half-truths, they hate being lied to directly. You can try to twist your words, but it is very difficult to deceive them.

Be mindful of your actions: Don't litter or damage their domains, and be careful not to brag about any interaction with them.

Protective measures

Offer gifts: Leave offerings like milk, honey, or shiny objects in natural areas as a gesture of goodwill.

Carry iron: Some traditions say that iron can ward off the fae, repel them, or even hurt them.

Avoid certain places: Stay out of "fairy rings" and other places that seem to be fae-associated, and be cautious when straying from a path.

(Again, fae rules for humans)

1. Do not say THANK YOU! This admits that you are in debt to them and they will expect that you pay them back. Debts and contracts can get messy with the Fae, even dangerous.

2. Do not give them your real name! Especially your full name because this gives them power over you. Instead use your witch name or fake name… say “you may call me blank” because you technically aren’t lying to them.

3. Do not accept food or drink from them! As the myth of Persephone and Hades states, eating the food of the faerie realm will forever tie you to that world.

4. Do not mention a new born! Faeries are very fond of children and you may end up with a changeling. Faeries may also mess around with your kid sometimes and curse them if you make them mad.

5. DO NOT LIE! As it is believed faeries cannot lie, they do not like being lied to but if you have to, twist your words to get them to believe you but Do not lie! I wouldn’t risk twisting your words too much because they are masters at this and can see right through, I would only attempt if you are very well spoken.

6. Always keep your promise! Promises are very sacred to the fae and hold a lot of power so if you break a promise, expect there to be some angry faerie cursing you.

7. Do not accept a gift! This also admits debt to them and they will expect something in return of equal or greater value.

8. There’s always strings attached! Don’t expect to make contracts with the fae and not have to worry about loopholes because they love twisting their words so you end up with the short end of the stick.

9. Don’t be a loud mouth! If a fairy bestows a blessing upon you, you shouldn’t go around telling people about it because it may just turn sour.

10. Don’t be a snoop! Respect a faerie’s privacy because they value their privacy a lot and they don’t trust humans often so if you lose their trust…oh boy you’re in for something alright.

11. Don’t dance! Dancing with the fae, to faerie music or in the fae realm often ends in stories of dancing to your death.

12. Absolutely no Iron! Cold iron weakens and repels the fae, to carry iron while interacting with the fae will offend the crap out of them.

13. Debts will always be repayed! If you do something of service to the fae there will often be a reward but remember rules 1 and 9.

14. Do not say SORRY! Again this admits being in deep debt to them. Say PARDON ME instead, as it is polite and doesn’t require a hidden contract or dept.

15. Always be the utmost polite to them! The fae may not always be the nicest but they are always well spoken, well mannered but also see themselves as higher than you, so treat them with the most respect and get on their good side.
