NO REST FOR THE HUMANITARIANS?

“Joseph Auden, a popular philanthropist in Philadelphia, has fallen unconscious in the middle of a boardroom meeting. He is in the hospital and there is no word of his situation yet. Auden was in the middle of a speech when his eyes rolled backwards and he fell. Eyewitnesses say he hit his head on a podium and has gained a serious head injury. Will he be the fifth coma victim?

All over the world, especially in Europe and the United States, people have been falling into comas. Many have speculated that it is a new disease that has been spreading around. Scientists and doctors are baffled by this new condition and have been scrambling to find a cure…”

{Discussion about Hailey Carter whom fell into a coma two days prior in Birmingham, Alabama…}

REPORTER: So, you are Hailey Carter’s mother. I cannot tell you, as a fellow, mother, how horrible this experience must be for you.

JOAN CARTER: Yes, it has been really hard. I don’t even know why it happened, y’know? It’s the not knowing that’s the worst – will she wake up? What caused this? Is she going to die? It’s…this is the worst I have ever felt in my entire life.

REPORTER: So terrible. You were on a boat when she Hailey fell, is this correct?

JOAN CARTER: Yes, we were fishing in my dad’s boat and Hailey’s brother just caught a fish and then she…

REPORTER: What happened?

JOAN CARTER: Hailey’s eyes rolled back and she began convulsing on the boat. The boat began rocking an-and she fell into the water. Oh, it was horrible! She’s only eight!

Ghosts’ Mountain




The Meadows

Human souls are able to travel to the Dream World, or Annwn as it is called by the inhabitants, because human souls are made of a tangible material that is able to twist and fold enough to enter through the door to the Dream World. However, because their souls are so tangible, they are weak and easily pierced whilst the souls of the inhabitants of Annwn have steal, strong souls. This weakness makes humans susceptible to insanity and the longer they stay in Annwn, the more sanity slips from their grasp. Thus, humans cannot last more than a week in Dream World.

Annwn is a land of eternal youth, immortal happiness, and an abundance of food. Diseases exist not in this world and everyone gets along because they follow the rules the Sandman had set down before them. When the Sandman went missing, the evil Mara – who are being led by an unknown force - quickly rose in control with the weakened Baku fighting against them. The Dream World twisted into a dark place and black crept across the land. Once peaceful animals had turned rabid and the benevolent creatures all turned on each other. War had broken out everywhere and there was no trust.

Now, an overabundance of human souls roams the land and cannot leave! When it began to get overcrowded, they started to disappear one by one. The ones who didn’t disappear have gone insane and are nothing but raving lunatics. The world has fallen into chaos and the only one who can bring it back to order is the Sandman.

Personal Information

---

Name: Tanya May Greenfield

Nickname: --

Age: 19 years old

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Appearance

---

Description of Appearance: Tanya has a lean build. Though she is a roughly average height, a bit on the taller side at 5'7", she gives off the impression of being very long. When she was growing, she was a child that could be described as comprised up entirely of limbs. Though Tanya evened out over the years, the general impression is still a lot of limbs. The girl, Italian by blood some generations back, has tanned skin, straight brown hair to her breasts, and green eyes.

Style: Typically, Tanya wears jeans or shorts, unless the situation calls for a different set of clothing.

Disposition

---

Likes: Tanya is a huge fan of animal kind in general; they are closely involved in what she would like to do for a living. Tanya also appreciates a thrill and a rush- a bit of an adrenaline junkie, if you will. She loves trying out new things; food, people, places, activities, anything. Tanya's other major like would be soccer. She's played as long as she can remember, and probably longer.

Dislikes: Being a rather curious person, Tanya hates not knowing things. (She also hates being tested on what she knows, but then again, don't most people?) She hates coincidences, because they make her question what she does know. She hates being tricked, or lied to, and finding out about it later- Tanya feels like she should do better than that. And, unless she's asleep she hates staying too still for too long.

Personality: If asked, Tanya would sum herself up as adventurous, which is rather true. The young woman is a very curious one, and has disregarded all warnings concerning cats and curiosity: Tanya is full-steam ahead, an adventurer. She is the person who goes and explores buildings of questionable structure simply because they're there, and they look cool. Tanya is the one who goes left where the map says go straight, if only to find out what's down the other path. Typically, Tanya is also very cheery. She's easy to laugh, and even crack a few jokes of her own. She gets along with people well enough, she's nice enough, she's the "pleasure to have in class" that all teachers rave about so many of their students. That being said, Tanya isn't exactly a martyr. She's a person who considers all of the options, briefly enough, and when presented with a problem, searches for the solution that is the most agreeable. Partly because of this, and partly because she's not exactly a leader, Tanya ends up making an excellent manager, even if only in small tasks.

Fears: While she is more or less fearless, Tanya does have an incredible fear of being deprived of a sense- particularly sight. While the dark itself doesn't scare Tanya, pitch blackness, complete silence, and just general absolute absences of sensory information terrify Tanya.

Past

---

History:
Tanya was a first, and ultimately only, child, to Daniel and Susan Greenfield. Daniel made a great father. And while Tanya is sure that Susan would have been a fantastic mother- after all, she managed the pregnancy and the birth pretty well, along with the first couple years of life- the young woman can't particularly remember her mother. A car accident when Tanya was very, very young prevented that. Luckily, the child was young enough that she doesn't remember. All that concerns her is that her father was an excellent one.
Throughout school, Tanya wasn't particularly remarkable. She maintained As and then, in high school, Bs were mixed in. It didn't stop her from getting into her state's university, where Tanya is currently studying to work with animals. She would like to start a business in training service animals, and is currently majoring in business, with some studies to relevant work in psychology. Her passion comes from the help that she'd seen animals do throughout her town, and how much her own dog had helped her out when things got stressful in her public schooling.
The only other particularly noteworthy mention of Tanya's history is her sports; from a very young age, Tanya played soccer. She's always stuck with it. The sport is a passion for her. And while she will casually enjoy some (American) football or basketball during the year with her friends, the girl has never played another sport officially except for in her school's gym.
Overall, Tanya lead a very standard, suburban lifestyle. School, sports, throw in some community service, rinse and repeat until she made it to college, where she has just started her sophomore year.

Personal Information
[---]
Name: Glenn Michael Gressen

Nickname: --

Age: 20 years old

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Appearance
[---]
Description of Appearance: Glenn is a thin person, almost too thin. He's on the shorter side, 5'5", and still slouches, which makes him seem even shorter and smaller. The blond, grey eyed guy has messy hair, and pale skin. Due to his overall lightness in color, Glenn gives off the impression of being older than he actually is; and, with an easy manner and frequent smiles, smile lines don't help give off the impression that he's only 20.

Style: Generally, Glenn wears very casual clothing. He currently lives in a colder climate, and so typically wears long sleeved shirts of thicker material and jeans. Sometimes sweaters are involved in his typical wear. Naturally, Glenn will also dress up, should the occasion call for it.

Disposition
[---]
Likes: Glenn prefers quiet to loudness, and few or no people to many. Glenn prefers simplicity, though also enjoys puzzles and mental challenges, if only recreationally. Glenn also appreciates knowing what he's getting into. While Glenn doesn't have anything against new things, he does have an aversion to breaking from his norms. Glenn also appreciates the arts, and plays the viola.

Dislikes: In relative alignment with his likes, Glenn doesn't like loud noises- or particularly sudden ones, at that- and large crowds of people. He dislikes unnecessary complexities (so expect no joy of soap operas) and isn't a fan of surprises. However, Glenn really is an easy going guy, and doesn't dislike a whole lot, apart from the same things that most people find annoying and the afore mentioned.

Personality: Glenn is a quiet person. Hes very laid back and easy going, but also the generous sort. Glenn will place his trust and give to just about anyone, even strangers, until they do something to not earn it any more, as Glenn defines it. He isn't a very forgiving person and, while he isn't aggressive, he also will hold passive grudges for a very, very long periods of time. Glenn is a safety advocate for the most part; he does smoke on occasion, though not regularly, but he's also the sort of person to be CPR certified, just to be prepared, even though he has never had any experience that would have required a CPR licence. Glenn is just a prepared sort of person.

Fears: Glenn's biggest fear would be being useless. He feels like he should be responsible for something at all times.

Past
[---]
History:
Glenn lead an unremarkable life. He was a middle child of three and, as a result, ended up having more freedom than his siblings. His younger sister was doted upon for being both the youngest and the only girl, and his older brother was tasked with the responsibilities of his siblings. And because Glenn was a good child, got good grades, never got in trouble, he had a lot of freedom. And Glenn grew up in this way, if quietly. He went to public school, and college in the north.
Glenn's school experience wasn't much of anything to brag about. He had a few close friends and, from his parent's suggestion but later on his own volition, Glenn started playing viola in elementary school, and never really stopped. He followed the standard track to get into college, and is currently an undergrad junior. Glenn never really could decide what his major ought to be. His most resent decision was to be a viola instructor before he went into the coma one night.
