Menewsha Name: Arechi

Name: Nightmare Julius Gottschalk (Whether or not his first name truly is Nightmare or not he will not say)

Nickname(s): Night, Mare, Patch, Jewels, Chalky, Night dreamer. (However he will only tolerate Night. Any of the others and he will ensure that the caller shall pay dearly.)

Age: Appears no older than 27 though in actuality is 324 (a young age for his particular kind)

Gender: Male

Race: Appears initially as human, though not all is what as it seems... (Really a nightmare demon)

Psychic abilities/Powers: To create a person's worst nightmare into a 'reality'. In other words he takes what people fear in their dreams and turns them into a sort of 'personal illusion' that is so convincing it's as if it's reality. This of course usually causes his 'victims' to either lose their sanity completely or end their life to make the 'illusion' stop as they are not ones that can be 'seen through' or stopped unless he stops it himself or the victim dies. He can also 'pull' others into or out of other people's nightmares, though he rarely does this. He also has the ability to float, though it's usually only used when he enters people's nightmare's himself as he doesn't particularly enjoy walking.

Weakness: Despite his 'young' age is is a relatively sick nightmare demon, causing him to cough up blood in many instances such as if he's shook too roughly or if he uses his powers for an over extended amount of time on any one given person (usually a time limit of a half hour).

Supernatural role/title: The Unpredictable One

Bio/History: The truth behind Nightmare's past is only known by the demon in human guise himself or of the other supernatural beings, however that does not mean he hasn't established a form of 'cover-up' for a believable history.

Nightmare was allegedly born in the family of simple folk that was rumored to live beyond the vast woodlands of Blood Widow Manor, which was beyond the town's limits. He had learned to read, write and speak all through his parents and learning what was felt he needed to know through them until a certain age. He was then sent to another township for more formal schooling, where he discovered a love of learning facts of past buildings and landmarks, or more specifically Blood Widow Manor. It was this love that paved his path to the 'career' as a historian over the past and histories of the surrounding historical sites, though claiming that his knowledge was more tuned in on sites that weren't considered historically significant or places like the Manor. It was this that he had said that had helped him earn his living as he would use his knowledge of various places to visit some schools and teach about them as a guest speaker, usually for history classes. Although he dressed and still dresses in a manor that would establish him as a higher ranking citizen, he is really of a more lower class saying that he earns enough to live a satisfied life.

Appearance/Looks:

Fear(s)/Nightmare: Even though he is a nightmare demon himself, it doesn't mean he doesn't have things he is afraid of. His more prominent fear is being locked within the confinement of a small box or coffin, without any escape, and then thrown into an incinerator to be roasted alive while others hear his blood curdling screams of pain, and yet do nothing to help him but instead just stand by and watch him burn laughing all the while. This of course causes him to fear small, confined spaces and extreme heat. So a small closet with a heater vent in it while the heater turned on and the door locked with no escape, could be considered pure and utter Hell for him

Other: Nightmare claims that this was the reasoning that he knew perhaps anything about Blood Widow Manor and had been one of the things to earn him the right to be the 'guide' of the project. He had said the reason he had chosen to come from the neighboring township was due to the campaign idea of allowing a group to stay within the bloodied past Manor and that it was his thirst to learn more about it through a more hands on experience. When asked why his name is the unusual name of 'Nightmare' he simply responds that his parents had wanted to name him something 'unusual' and so had chosen Nightmare.

When asked about his patched eye he simply says that it was lost during an 'accident' and that the only thing beneath it is a glass one, which he offers to show to any that wishes to see, though very few desire to. In reality his right eye is perfectly fine and there, however it is what allows him to peer into the minds of others to use his powers.

On his left ear he also wears a small hooped earring in the cartilage.

A rather currently unknown but interesting fact about Nightmare is that if one searched records of the school he says he attended they will find that his name is not among its list of students. What's more the only time that the name Nightmare Julius Gottschalk appeared in any records of history was over 300 years ago...
