SOMNIA-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
1. Dreams are how Sleep chooses you. What might draw your character into Somnia— a wound, a wish, a weakness? Would they follow the dream, or run from it?
He's been searching for specific folks who would know where the location of his family are, for over 200 years. While that may sound crazy, it's not too far fetched for people within the right circumstances to find a way to stick around that long where he's from. While of course he's probably thought on many occasions that his family could very well be long dead too, it's the small shining bit of hope that's kept him alive so long. So if he had a dream where he found out where his daughter Janey was, he'd sure as hell run towards it. To her.
2. Somnia is a slow unraveling—of worlds, and of selves. How does your character respond to fear, transformation, and losing control? Do they fight, adapt, collapse?
After being around so long and going through so much, Cooper doesn't truly fear much at this point. He's lived through nuclear war that turned America to an irradiated giant dust bowl and had his body transformed by that same radiation into something more zombie like in appearance. It's been a blessing and a curse in many ways, but the one thing he truly fears is one of the biggest set backs of being what he is now, a ghoul. It happens at a different pace for every ghoul really, but their minds eventually start changing, wearing down, till eventually they become feral. A mindless thing that attacks anything that moves. Much like a zombie.
It's the one thing he's fighting against as time goes on. Dying isn't even something he's probably afraid of, but losing himself to the decay of his mind till he's just some mindless thing and can't remember his own daughter anymore... that scares him. He'll do whatever he has to to prevent it. Tried to sell a person to get drugs to keep it at bay for a while longer. Even ate part of another ghoul to try and get any residual effects from the drug that that ghoul had taken earlier when he was out of the drugs himself. Cooper definitely fights and adapts, until he can go on no longer.
3. Connection is the only constant. What kind of bonds does your character form— fast and burning, slow and wary, deep and desperate? How might that shape their time in this world?
4. What are two major forces in your character’s personality that are often in conflict? (Ex: logic vs emotion, power vs guilt, obedience vs rage, etc.)
VESSEL SELECTION
Which Vessel Type are you choosing: Token
Why does this Vessel type feel appropriate for your character? I feel as he's already had his body transformed into something monsterish, token would be interesting to play around with.
Choose one OR list three subclass options within your chosen Vessel type that you think would suit them: The mod will make the final call by randomization if you choose 3.
