Similar to a story I was doing so I thought I'd jump in. Hope you don't mind :)
Name: Jack Clark or J.C as he prefers.
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Appearance: Real life
(looks a tad older than Jack but will do)
Dream
Personality: Smart, calm, gets bored very easily.
History: Jack is an average middle class kid. He lives with his young brother, cat and parents in a nicely sized house in (I don't know if you've named the area they live in). Each day he goes to school, something he hates. Jack is an almost completely normal child. He's good at sports and does well in school but nothing exciting seems to happen in his life. And there's nothing he hates more than being bored.
Dreams: Due to his hatred of boredom Jack's subconcious has turned his dreams in a persistent world. Each night he falls asleep and enters into what he believes is a troubled world for him to unite. In his dreams he is a warlord trying to takeover his world. His subconscious actively fights against him in his dreams. Sometimes he wins but there is always another battle to fight.
