IN CHARACTER

CHARACTER NAME: Gideon Drake
CHARACTER AGE: 24
CHARACTER CANON: The Atlas Six
CANON POINT: towards the end of The Atlas Complex
ABILITIES:
- Dreamwalking: Can walk in and navigate the dream realms and can shape them to his will. Basically while in dreams he can tell reality to fuck right off.
- Can access and mess around with an individual's subconscious through dreams
- Technically has basic canon-typical magic, but it's not very consistent or powerful when he's anchored to reality.
- Capable of heating the air around him and burning someone if he gets emotional enough?
- May or may not be able to fly? (OLIVIE??????)
- There's a very strong implication that when not anchored to reality he can do whatever he wants but what exactly that means is super vague.
- May be made of magic rather than simply having magic. God forbid Olivie Blake ever really explain anything.

SURVEY

WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND? WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WEALTH?: Gideon grew up kind of an outcast due to being non-human. From a legal stand point he didn't have the rights a human would, and from a social standpoint he was generally regarded with suspicion by his peers because he's kind of weird. Combine that with his mother being a mermaid with a gambling problem who would use him to pay her debts he did not grow up particularly well off and actually spent some time in magical juvie. All that being said, in NYUMA his roommates both came from wealthy families, so he has some positive exposure to wealth and the wealthy through them.

In general Gideon is not the type to hold on to resentment or negativity, so he probably tries to keep his opinion on wealth fairly neutral, staying aware of both the pros and the cons, and trying to focus on the pros. He would try not to hold the problems with wealth as an institution against people as individuals. He tries to see the positive in everything.

WHAT WOULD/DID YOUR CHARACTER MAJOR IN?: I'm not sure canon ever told us exactly what he majored in. He was actually only allowed into a university so that he himself could be studied. He likely took classes focused on mental magic because that most closely resembles his own abilities and maybe magical creatures because he is one.

WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER?: His entire life is a series of interesting events. He was born half-mermaid, half-satyr and has the ability to walk in dreams. Literally everything about that is interesting. He also spent a few months as an archivist for a dark academia secret society. Another very interesting experience.

However, Gideon himself would say the most interesting thing that ever happened to him was meeting Nico De Verona because Nico kept things interesting in general and gave him a reason to stay anchored to reality.

DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER USING ONE SONG FROM THE EARLY 2000S: The Scientist by Coldplay 😔

NAME 1-3 VICES YOUR CHARACTER INDULGES IN: Napping, caffeine and sass.

WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S LIQUOR OF CHOICE?: The kind that has caffeine in it? Honestly he probably avoids alcohol in general because it's more likely to make him sleep. If he's going to use a drug, it's going to be something that will wake him up. Uppers over downers every day.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER LIKE THEIR EGGS?: Cooked by Nico 🥺

IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD TO DRINK SOMEONE'S DIRTY BATHWATER, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?: Nico De Varona because he loves him and misses him 😔😔😔

ABILITIES

DREAMWALKING

This is the big one. He can navigate the dream realms and walk through dreams. This can give him access to people's subconscious and can look a lot like telepathy. He is capable of changing things within a person's mind while doing this, but he prefers to not to and won't do it lightly

DREAM MANIPULATION

While in a dream he can manipulate and control the setting and surroundings. He can also manifest things out of thin air. Essentially, in dreams he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Reality is irrelevant in the dream realms

CANON TYPICAL MAGIC

Technically he can perform spells and such just like other medians in canon, but it's generally not particularly powerful when he's awake and anchored to reality. The one exception to this we see in canon is when he gets emotional or upset he can create enough heat to cause at least some harm, so it could be his magic in reality is somewhat tied to his emotional state. Who the fuck knows though, Olivie Blake doesn't like to actually explain anything. See his app for a little more info.
