MORPHEUS
DREAM OF THE ENDLESS
NAME: Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, Oneiros, Sandman, Lord of Dreams & Nightmares, Kai'ckul... or, according to his sister, the "stupidest, most self-centered pathetic excuse for an anthropomorphic personification on this or any other plane".
AGE: He's existed for billions of years and remains an idiot.
SPECIES: An Endless. Mostly appears human and looks like a sad, wet cat. Can shapeshift into multiple forms, including a CAT, which was super important to mention.
SEXUALITY: Panromantic & demisexual .
CANON: The Sandman (Netflix series & borrowing from comics).
IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Though lonely and likely touch-starved (don't tell him you noticed though, he'll probably angry-sulk for a century), hugging him will assuredly result in a rather stiff response... but there's no need to stand on ceremony so by all means, go for it! Flirt, tease, touch and hug relatively safely. You can also try kissing him, but unless you've got his undivided, interested attention, do so at your own perils.
SEX: Dream's had a (canonically known) handful of romantic love interests, and no casual sexual flings. That we know of! He seems to crave intimate connections more than anything else, though lust doesn't appear to be a driving factor. Given how suave and passionate he can be underneath his colder dispositions (also note how he often crowds people's personal space while exuding strong sensual vibes that have no business existing), it's probably fair to say that he's demisexual (and panromantic!).
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Attempts can be made?? He can't die, just so you know. As in, he'll never cease to be; if Dream of the Endless somehow perishes, another aspect of himself will take his place. That being said, he's not completely immune to injuries, or magic traps for that matter. But if you truly wanna FIGHT, he'd really rather play The Oldest Game.
RELATIONSHIPS: LMAO. Listen. When he loves, he loves hard, though all of his relationships have miserably failed. Slight him and he might send you straight to Hell! Terrible boyfriend, 0/10 do not recommend. HOWEVER. His captivity seems to have shaken some sense into him; he's slowly improving, so there may be hope for him (and future lover).
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Voilà!
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: To various degrees: his son, Roderick Burgess, Jessamy, Desire, his mistakes, some of his exesand just don't mention fishbowls ig

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: On memes, I'll keep tagging texty threads for a few days, but I'll backtag action threads as long as there's interest. In games, it really depends on both parties and how fast the plot moves. In PSLs, I'll backtag pretty much forever. Also, blanket apology for being extra slow at times. Aside from work getting in the way, I'm also audhd-cursed, so don't hesitate to nudge if it's been a while; just know that I'm not ignoring you on purpose.
THREADHOPPING: Sure!
FOURTHWALLING: Let's talk first, but I'm super not opposed!
BRACKETS OR PROSE: I prefer brackets for reasons I ignore, but I'll match!
FAVES: Hurt/Comfort, scenes that lead to character growth, angst and fluff, anything that involves FEELS, horror settings, mysterious vibes, fantasy in general (of the dark kind especially), emotional struggles with happy endings.
SHIPPING: YES PLS! Just be warned that he's a little wary of humans & magic users now (re: fishbowl), and past relationships have coated his mouth sour, flavoured with a sprinkle of self-loathing and bitterness. Abandonment issues are a thing, as well as trauma and the fact that he doesn't allow himself to feel. He still does -- note how often his eyes water -- he just does his best to repress it all, not just for his own sake but for the sake of the entire collective consciousness (aka the dreamers, and all universes). He does tend to fall pretty fast, but a decent amount of CR would still be necessary in order for him to fully let go and allow himself to navigate the confines of his heart, so if you enjoy intense pining and slow-burns...
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm a big fan of cross-canon shipping for Morpheus, though I'm not completely opposed to shipping him with certain canon characters if there's enough chemistry thread-wise. Just no shipping with any of his siblings, any of his foes, Matthew, or any of his subjects/dreams/nightmares! You can find my shipping wishlist here.
SMUT: I'm ridiculously rusty but yes! Porn with an enormous amount of feels is A+, especially the build-up that leads to it. Sexual tension and pining, yes please. M/F, M/M, or M/NB are all good!
That being said, I won't typically do PWP but there can be exceptions (e.g. for an already established relationship, an itch to scratch, etc).
TRIGGERS: None that I can think of!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Piercing gaze that commands attention, hair pell-mell. Exudes romantic goth energy. Tall, slender. Always wears black, definitely wears eyeliner. Straight-backed with the tiniest slouch - I don't know how that makes sense but it does.
AURAL: King of ASMR. Eloquent, he speaks in soft raspy tones no matter the occasion, his voice embers and smoke. Also spent 100 years without uttering a single sound so believe it when I say he'll absolutely ignore you if he doesn't feel like answering.
DEMEANOUR: Poised. Reserved. Solemn. Brooding. Blends in and stands out, human-looking yet still ethereal, peculiar. Often watery-eyed despite his seemingly cold dispositions - don't let him fool you, because he feels, a lot. Surprisingly gentle. In truth, he's a big softie. Polite and absolutely knows his place, no matter how powerful or assertive -- especially when asking for favours from equally strong or superior entities. As he points out: "there are rules, protocols that must be followed". Can be a complete asshole otherwise, arrogant, and ruthless when necessary.
