When he appeared out of thin air, Robins mind was as foggy as London town on a nice autumn morning. He shook his head and held on to the next best thing his hand could grap - the railing that spanned the balcony. It screeched as soon as he put his weight on it and flakes of rust and grime fluttered down. He blinked two, three times, but the fog wouldn't leave his field of view. Then he realised that it was the very air that was preventing him from seeing more than some old, forsaken buildings, a chainlink fence and the beginning of a large field.

With a little bit of surprise he gave the buildings a closer look. That wasn't his usual dream. If he wants to be alone, then it's normally on a nice and warm island, not in the middle of a russian zombie town! Behind him was some kind of office, but the door was shut and he was stuck on the balcony. One way in would be smashing the glass, he thought for himself while feeling up his left arm. But still, it was his dream and he could just float down, right ?

His thoughts where interrupted when he heard a squeaky, girlish voice. Robin looked down and, oh wonder, there was a little girl.
"At least it's not as forsaken as I thought." He said for her to hear. "I'm Robin. It's strange to say that here... you should know that, seeing that you're in my dream. But that said...
... if it would be a normal dream, you would be older, and not here." Flashing a wide grin he wrecked his mind who the girl could be, but he drew a blank. He has never seen her, nor did he recognize her voice. "We are in some kind of city. And who are you ?"

Robin was just about to ask her another question, when he heard another voice, but very quiet and muffled by several walls of concrete. He looked down to the girl and just to reassure himself he asked her: "Hey, did you hear that too ?"

there is a whole lot graffiti in your nightmare town ^^
as for your question, I'd say version A. I'm not a fan of too much RNG in my games ^^

Name: Robin Schmelzer
Age: 26
Gender: male

Appearance: Robins build is average. He has some visible muscles, but is far from packed like a bodybuilder. His height is about 1,80m (thats almost 6 feet in your strange and otherworldly measurement system). His hair is brown and long enough to cover neck and ears. His most distinguishable feature is, that he lost his right leg and left arm and he's wearing prostheses instead.
Dream appearance: Almost the same, the only difference are his artificial limbs. They appear as occult combination of technology and living matter (imagine: metal structure and joints thats covered with muscles, pieces of flesh and tentacles), that's why he covers them all the time with long shirts and trousers, while he has no problem showing them off in normal life.

Personality: Again, nothing too special. He is quite educated and generally a nice guy when he's together with friends and family and likes to use sarcasm to make a point. That can be aproblem if someone meets him for the first time. Most of his friends say that they thought of him as an ignorant ass until they get to know each other better. Maybe thats some kind of self defense mechanism of his sub-consciousness to prevent him getting into trouble ? Who knows.
Dream personality: The same.

Background: Ah, now the interesting part. While he studied in university he had an accident that cost him his right leg and the left arm. Fortunately he studied medical engineering with a scholarship from a institute that specializes in the research and production of top-of-the-art prostheses. Robin works now, after finishing university, in their R&D Department. By enrolling himself in new studies he gains access to modern and effective replacements, thus he can continue his life almost unaffected by his disability.
His first contact with lucid dreaming was in the hospital during the tedious process of repairing everything that was salavageble. He discovered, that he is able to enter lucid dreams, if he is under the effect of heavy narcotics. Even now, fully healed, he sometimes uses connections and more or less legal ways to acquire these drugs. Neither parents nor friends know about this, as far as he knows.
Power: His artificial limbs are not affected during dreams. That means he can't change their appearance, form or anything else about them, but neither are they changed or influenced by the dream environment. A flame would burn his right hand, but wouldn't even leave a mark on his left.

oh well. Funny that I've read everything else and skipped over that part to get to the cs template. and there I wondered why everyone wrote (stupid) things about ducks. Looks like a darwin award for me.
okay, than here's a rarely known fact: Ducks share a lot of attributes with electrical engineers - fundamental understanding of thermodynamics, mathematics and the tendency to skip over paragraphes while reading. they are often kept as pets by evil engineers that try to conquer the world with orbital lasers, designed and constructed by ducks

PS: I feel really dumb now xD

Hi everyone. A friend pointed me to your RP and this board, so I'm totally new here. But your setting sounds fun, so I'll just throw my application in the thread.

Other: Hmmm, nope, I think that's it.

Well, my application. I hope everything comprehensible and if ou have questions, just ask ^^
