Life is life.
Drama, loss, degeneracy, taxes, and crises of futility are all common, though the love and glee experienced periodically by the masses makes it all worth it to them.
What if there was something more? It's human nature to dream of a world better than what they have, whether it's as simple as hoping you get that job, or as complex as writing your own story that spans a millennia. And what if... that world existed out there somewhere?
Well, this particular story begins with you falling asleep on an unremarkable day, in an unremarkable week, in the month Elon Musk bought Twitter. The story ends with you waking up... probably. But, it's not the beginning or ending that make it special, no, it's what happens in between. For the duration of the story, you cease to exist in the reality you know.
Welcome to The Dream.

Starter Info:
The Dream is a high fantasy-themed world where anyone with enough dedication can become anything. A mage, legendary fighter, or cleric, maybe even a beast as frightening as your foes could imagine. Dreamers are the name given to those that were transported to this realm, those who once existed in the other world. Sleep is optional for them, and any skill they practice regularly will become better, no matter how gradual. The starting amount of Dreamers will be 100,000, but most will be NPCs, obviously. There's also a race that naturally inhabits The Dream, named Stagnants. They look similar to humans, but with pale white skin, no nose, enlarged eyes, and sharpened teeth. They will act largely as NPCs, but they may be characters if you so please. They are more powerful than Dreamers in the early stages, but the Dreamers' tendency to evolve in strength will have Stagnants soon insignificant in terms of battle. Speaking of, all Dreamers start out as normal people with daggers and a tiny amount of gold. You have to battle to become stronger, similar to a video game. Some Dreamers can get a Special Skill: an ability unique to them such as a new type of magic or just some sort of innate superpower. The RP will begin in the plaza of a city located within the first world, the Plains. Worlds are a key part of this rp, but I'll explain more in the actual rp.
Magic is pretty straightforward, there's elemental spells, summoning, you get the idea. Alternatively, one could dedicate themselves to psionics or ki. Basic stuff, but if you're wondering if a specific spell is a common ability or Special Spell, I'm open to questions.
Basically, your characters can be anything given enough time.

Rule time.
1. Follow Pokécharms rules or else.
2. Respect fellow RPers. Even if you dislike them or a decision they made, keep that in this discussion thread or else.
3. Put 'bananarama slamma-jamma' in your bio if you read this or else.
4. Use common sense, if you have to question it then either ask or don't do it or else.
5. I want this to be a commitment. It's fine if you can't post for a little while, but if you can't stick with us then you will not be able to return and your characters will be killed or given to another RPer. Basically, just remember to post every so often if you're being waited on, or else.
6. Have fun or else.
