In regards to his clothing the closest thing to style Dane has is wearing a t-shirt and jeans. However the one thing he is rarely seen
without is his grey coat, its long like a trench coat, but made of soft grey material, almost looking like a comfortable place to sleep.


Background:

Mortal Parent(s): Eliza Jacoby
Other Family: None
Pets: None
Brief History:
Dane was born of Eliza Jacoby on January 15th 1995, as the child his mother was constantly telling him of his father, the lite4ral man of here dreams. Eliza had met the god Morpheus as he wandered through her dreams one, Eliza had always been a vivid dreamer and was able to talk with Morpheus within the dream-scape. After 5 weeks of this Morpheus agreed to meet her in the real world. Eliza met with Morpheus and spent the next two nights with him, confessing her love and telling him to never leave. However on the third morning, when Eliza awoke, Morpheus was gone. Eliza began to research ways to push herself to dream, in order to find him again, however she stopped this research when she found out she was pregnant. Surely Morephus would come back to her if he had a son. However as we know the gods very rarely work that way, and despite Dane's birth, Morpheus never returned.

For the first 5 years of Dane's (His mother had actually named him Dream) existence it had every semblance of a normal life, however after his 5th birthday, it appeared as though his mother gave up hope on Morpheus ever returning to her in reality. So she went back to spending most of her time in dreams, taking pills to aid in a deeper sleep. That was until, 3 months after Dane's 5th birthday, Eliza took one to many pills and never awoke. Dane was now moved into the care of the state of Florida, being placed in an orphanage to wait for someone to take him. However he was never taken, despite his obvious ADHD, Dane also gave off a subtly frightening aura. More than that, once he turned 7 the children in his wing of the orphanage all began to have bad dreams, not full on nightmares but definitely troubling visions and these problems only got worse as he aged. Until, at the age of 10, Dane became aware that it was him who was causing the nightmares. Afraid of what he was becoming Dane tired to run from this aspect, ignoring how his mind would touch lightly upon other peoples as he slept. This made the bad dreams worse, they became full on nightmares for the other orphans. It was then that Dane met his father.

On the morning of his 11th birthday, Dane was visited by Morpheus, he walked into the orphanage and caused all those inside, apart from Dane, to fall into a sleep. He then sat down with Dane and explained himself, where he had been why he hadn't contacted Dane ever, and what had happened to his mother. Dane was horrified at his father, at the destruction he caused, he told his father he wanted nothing to do with him. But then Morpheus began to discuss Dane's own powers, how Morpheus had unfortunately given Dane an aura of fear, and that whilst he couldn't enter peoples minds he could influence their dreams past these nightmares, if he knew how to apply his power. Dane asked his father to teach him this, but Morpheus stated that in order for Dane to prove himself, he would have to discover this power on his own. With that Morpheus went to depart, before giving him one more thing, it was a grey coat, long and lush it seemed to hold within it the need to dream. Morpheus said that wearing that coat would repress his powers and allow those around him to dream undisturbed.

For the next 2 years Dane attempted to learn how to dream, he only took the coat off to practice, and when he did he became slowly more adept, until he can now sleep without the coat. And both years on his birthday Dane would receive a card from Morpheus, encouraging him along.

When he was 13 Dane was attacked by his first monster, it seemed the jacket also dampened his call to monsters, the creature was an incubus, who would not be affected by sleep. As the creature attempted to kill him Dane reached within himself and thrust upon the creatures mind all the horrors from the nightmares Dane had been repressing for the past 2 years, rendering the creature immobile with fear. This attack got the attention of Camp Half Blood, who brought him there right before his 14th birthday


Personality:
On the surface Dane is a very repressed person, he hides away from society for fear of harming it. His time in an orphanage has added to this damage, making him withdrawn from any sudden outbursts of emotion. In regards to his allegiance, Dane will easily be dragged akin with whom ever he believes can help him.

This being said, once you get bellow this exterior you can find Dane to be funny and honest, he can be a valued friend and companion as he adds his opinion with slight levity to a situation. Howeve this can be equally problematic, as while he can be equally friendly, once he realizes any saber within himself, he will withdraw one again.

Dane closed his eyes, the peoplefron camp Half Blood would be here tomorrow and this could be his last chance to practice before they arrived. As the welcome embrace of sleep began to cloud his mind, Dabe began to feel around him, to the dreams of the other children in his ward. Many of then were sleeping dreamlessly tonight, but there were a fee dreams still within his grasp.

Feeling out one at random[ Dane spread his mind around the peripherals, as though he was encapsulatingthe dream in a soft blanket. The person seemed to be dreaming about driving a car along some sort of race course, Dabe was not sure. Consentrating Dane pushed, and slowly the dream took on a new shape. No longer was te person driving any car, this was a speedster, a car designed for speed and beauty, also changed was the track, now rather than driving alone, the car was before millions of people, racing for the championship. Dane continued to apply pressure on the dream, pushing the car forward, onward toasted victory. As it turne the final stretch, a black car pulled up beside it, also gunning for the line.
