name: Capricorn
gender: male
theme song:
tell me about them:
Capricorn is a demigod, blessed with the power to walk in the dreams of others. He is a young but nonetheless well-loved spirit, as he spends much of his time battling the nightmares other kalons struggle with at night, allowing their sleep to remain peaceful. Capricorn is immortal and, despite his small stature, a skilled fighter- one has to be when dealing with the stuff of nightmares, for you can never know what form they will take.

Capricorn suffers from loneliness. His life is a busy one; there always seem to be tormented mortals in need of protecting. He has yet to encounter another dreamwalker like him, and struggles with the pressure of mortals’ expectations- they hope and pray for his protection, but he would say that he has never had a true friend.

The thing that brings Capricorn the most joy are the children he visits- their nightmare monsters are usually easier to defeat, for one, and their childlike belief allows them to see him more often than adults can.

Rumor abounds among mortals that Capricorn will give sweet dreams if you leave sweets beside your bed. This is true- Capricorn does indeed have quite the sweet tooth.

name: Cyneweard (Old English cyne "royal" and weard "guard")
gender: Male
theme song: Demons - By Imagine Dragons
tell me about them:
Cyneweard is the guardian of the gate to Charmourn called Serpengate. He was trained by the creator of the gate, Serpen himself. Cyneweard always thought that it was a little pretentious for Serpen to name the gate after himself but Serpen's name did strike fear into the hearts of many. Maybe he thought his large reputation would help prevent those from trying to storm the gate. Cyneweard knew many armies had tried to take control of the gate to use the demons and dark gods on the other side as their pawns in battle. He could hear their cries of terror as they wandered the forest in the Fog of Fears. Some slowly being driven insane. The cries were almost enough to drive him mad. He knew the horrors the Fog could produce. Serpen had shown him all the secrets of Charmourn so that he could best use the land to his advantage should anyone ever make it to the gate. Cyneweard has never battled a foe yet, but he practices every day. Being prepared was the key to protecting the gate. The demons behind it could wipe out the whole planet and he was not about to let that happen.

(Recycled for a key role in my kalon world)
extra:
Cyneweard has been touched by magic in order to best protect the gates. He does not require sleep and he will never grow old so long as he is the guardian of the gate. He wasn't the first guardian, there had been others before him. Usually, they retire for one reason or another. Relinquishing their abilities and finding someone to grow old with. The guardian lifestyle is a solitary and often lonely existence. Cyneweard, however, didn't see himself retiring. He was raised for this. This was his purpose.

prompt:
Willow looked into Arcanus' desolate eyes, solemnly radiating no emotion. She slightly nudged him. "C'mon arc, live a little! Just look around you! isn't this amazing?" She turned her head to face the sun setting, casting an array of brilliant colors over the horizon.
"I just don't understand. Why does seeing this gaseous ball of flame retreating into it's abode fill you with such desire? Why is visual aesthetic so appealing on your earth? Is it so appealing to you when I say that this 'sun' of yours is going to lead to the inevitable extinction of your planet and kind?" he looked into the abyss of the hungry ocean lapping at their toes and gripped the edge of the boardwalk a little tighter.
Wow, way to kill the mood. "Why are you so tense? I thought taking you out here might be helpful. Don't you think it's pretty?"
Arcanus looked at her.
"I have no comprehension of 'color'."
"But I mean, the ocean! It's so tranquil and soothing, and-"
He abruptly cut her off.
"Being an intergalactic war refugee aswell as being forced to adapt to a common planetary culture all at the same time isn't exactly the easiest thing to do, Willow. And despite your efforts to help me, this is going nowhere." Hearing the words come out of his mouth, his was suddenly taken aback. "I'm sorry, it's just-"
"Am I doing something wrong? I'm sorry if this is all strange for you, but I just thought that showing you some of our lifestyle, you might feel a bit more at home. What was I thinking? Your alien to us, how could our society ever make you feel at home?" Willow hesitantly lifted herself up, but before ambling away Arcanus grabbed her hand.
"No, no! It is helping! You are helping! It's me, I just.. I just need to make an effort."
She looked back at him, the fringe of her smile lifting ever so slightly.
"I knew you'd come around"
Willow sat back down, closer to arcanus.
"Well, I guess you know enough about earth. Why don't you tell me more about where you came from?"
He gave off a puzzled expression at hearing her words
"Are you sure? I mean, it's a pretty long story."
She nodded.
"Well, my planet is war torn, there hasn't been an era without some conflict that I can recall. We live in districts corresponding to our erm... Well what you guys call horoscopes. And then..." He paused, an eerie silenced loomed over the two for some time.
"Take your time" She whispered, knowing the tenderness the moment held.
"Then.. then our district was attacked. Two weeks of pure terror. Families torn apart, days of hiding, fearful of the world around us. We had no choice but to flee. 13 of us went to the transportation facility, but most of the emergency pods had been disabled. Those sickos." he looked up, the lack of his color perception seemed to be gone as he looked into the sun, which had almost set. "They had planned this. They knew that we were gonna try to leave. They trapped us. there were two decently functioning emergency pods left. We split into groups of two as we left, but there was a malfunction in ours. We missed our desired destination and we ended up here, on earth."
"Wait, so where are the others?"
He sighed.
"Thats the thing. I don't know. I just blacked cause of the impact, and when I woke up, they were gone."
The visible sadness in his eyes touched willow. She put her arm around him, not daring to speak and suspending the silence.

(I sorta merged promts oops ;o;)

(might plan a lot with these two!! maybe arc can even take willow back to his homeworld?!)
