Otherworld Apostle

Since you were a child, you can vaguely recall a dream that has visited you. This recurring story in your mind may go years without an installment, but somehow it has always felt more real than any other dream. More recently, you've noticed this dream is becoming reality; the setting is different, the enemy more real, but your power is the same. What the source of this power is, you are not sure, but as it continues to grow, you decided to begin training yourself in its use.

A Dream Unlike Any Other

Many children dream of heroism, grand adventures, vanquishing foes, and seeing incredible and fantastical sights. For you, these dreams have felt like a second life you've lived - as though you have only seen another side of yourself when you closed your eyes. Your dreams may be different from others, but surely they are dreams. Impossible landscapes or geography, odd rules of physics or magic, creatures born of a child's imagination that lacks the boundaries experience will set; the lands of your mind are your own... Only, you've begun to grow into the person you dreamt to be. In flashes, bare instants, you've seen that you are capable of the same things awake as you are asleep. Perhaps you've called a small object to your hand from across a room, or you've nearly fallen and your body righted itself before you realized. The person you are in your dreams has begun to overtake you, and suddenly you can remember this recurring dream in vivid detail.

Creating an Otherworld Apostle

When creating an otherworld apostle, consider the dream you wish your character to embody. Are they a great hero drawing power from the stars, or a brutal warrior who slays others like them? Is their world like yours, or is it full of layers within your dreams that make no sense at all? What has been the goal of your dreams? Who was your enemy and how did you fight or escape them? Do you think this world in your mind is real, and what would it mean for the other planes if it was?
