@lunarreaper-ut uhm. My hand slipped. Would’ve put more detail into it but there are other things I ought to be working on. Hope you like it though!!! (Also please assume any and all art I make for you is a bribe for more content pretty please!!!) and maybe if you could make it ship content
Warden is a character I’ve had in my mind for a while, but haven’t drawn despite their design being fairly simplistic! Warden is a very important person in my Multiverses. They are overseer of all my creations, able to peek into every AU and Multiverse of my creation through the Abyss.
The Abyss acts as the Core of the Void, which connects all AUs and Multiverses (in my canon). Not only is the Abyss the core of the Void, it also acts as a prison for those deemed too dangerous to be let into any of the multiverses.
Aside from being a prison, the Abyss is also where all my creations originally form! Think of it as a place to hold all my WIPs, characters with only a design but no backstory, or vice versa. The inhabitants that reside in the Abyss are being kept safe and under the watchful eye of the Warden.
Warden is aware of Creators, and of everything within my Multiverses. They know everyone of my creations, those who have been finished and those unfinished. They also know of people that I know outside of the Multiverse!
Warden is unable to be killed by any of my creations, and is able to mimic them perfectly. When a creation is placed within the Abyss, Warden will often take their form to confront them. If they choose to fight, they’ll only end up fighting another version of themselves.
Warden is also the only one who keeps Entropy in check, ensuring she doesn’t invoke any chaos that hasn’t been permitted.

Nightmare is the younger of the two Kings which rule over the Kingdom of Sun and Moon. After the brothers’ mother’s death, Nightmare became frustrated with his elder brother’s lack of responsibility, and eventually turned him to stone, casting the Kingdom into an eternal night filled with torment for nearly five-hundred years. He was cast into the Void by Dream, and was trapped for a millennium before being allowed to return.
Abilities/Special Traits
- Immortality
- Extremely high magic capacity
- Glamours (Illusions which change the appearance of the user)
- Corrupted Transformation (A complete transformation to a demonic shadow-like being, typically triggered by extreme excess of Negativity. Can be manually triggered)
- Negative Aura (Nightmare emanates negativity which can fill those around him with dread. He has learned to suppress this Aura. Dream is immune to this Aura)
- Nightmare’s magic can be made of pure Negativity, which is the only thing that can cause permanent damage to Dream’s purity form. No amount of healing will fix the damage done with an attack of pure negativity (to Dream).
- Nightmare can travel through shadows, or spy through them if he wishes.
- Weak against Positivity/Pure Positive energy
- Nightmare is skilled with a spear
- Due to a past injury, Nightmare’s right eye is damaged, causing minor vision issues.
Misc.
- He was born with the markings on his cheeks. The Moon marking formed after he imprisoned Dream in stone, due to the overwhelming negativity from his subjects at the loss of the Sun King. (The markings are directly connected to his magic, which is why more may form during times of overwhelming negativity. He could likely obtain more markings in the future.)
- A cult has formed in the Kingdom, dedicated to Nightmare’s corrupted form.
- Nightmare is 5′6″ (~168cm)
- Nightmare prefers sleeping on his side. (He tends to hold something when he sleeps)
- Probably has the best poker-face
(Thank you @owlheartt for requesting the second part! Knowing you guys like my writing and au so much really fills my heart with so much joy! I hope you guys enjoy this part too!)
Killer woke up before the sun had even began to peek over the horizon, as he usually did. He hummed contentedly, his eyes still shut as he rolled onto his side, pulling the pillow he was sleeping on closer to his face.
He didn't remember his bed smelling so nice before. This scent was familiar... Like the smell of a chilled night after a thunder storm, and... something else. Killer started to nuzzle his face into the pillow, trying to search for the scent that was evading his sleep addled mind.
Killer didn't quite remember going to his room either, now that he thought about it. He was almost certain he'd fallen asleep. He was dozing in his usual chair, and he'd just been so tired after nearly a whole day of training with Cross. Then...? Killer felt a chill, and then warmth...
As Killer slowly began to put the pieces of last night's puzzle together, he froze. There was the evasive scent... and it became clear very quickly why it was so familiar.
Killer's eyes shot open.
No wonder his bed never smelled so nice... This wasn't his bed. Killer had to fight every urge in his body to leap out of the bed as far away as he could, but he absolutely was not going to wake the sleeping King in front of him.
Killer was usually a very calm person, but as of right now he felt like he was on the verge of panicking. How did this happen?! He was an idiot sometimes, but he wasn't stupid enough to crawl into Nightmare's bed! Not even while half asleep!
He would figure out the "Why's" and "How's" later, right now Killer needed to escape before Nightmare woke. Killer slowly slipped out from under the covers, barely disturbing the silky fabric, and quickly found his shoes and coat. He carefully tucked his side of the bed in as if it was never disturbed, before starting towards the door.
Killer looked back towards the sleeping King and felt himself pause with his hand barely on the doorknob. Nightmare looked so relaxed... Killer wished he could look that way more often. No! Snap out of it, you're escaping, not admiring the one person who will absolutely be mad if you're found in their room!
Killer shook his head and slipped out through the door, practically running to catch up with his morning routine. He just hoped Cross wouldn't ask where he was...
As the door to Nightmare's room shut, the 'sleeping' King's eyes slowly opened. He looked towards the door and sighed, rolling over in his bed, a barely muttered "Idiot" leaving his mouth. If he pulled the very same pillow Killer had been practically snuggling a bit closer, no one would have been around to see it.

Killer is an exceptional Guard who has prevented many attempts on King Nightmare’s life. It was during one of these attempted assassinations, that Killer lost his arm. His arm has since been replaced with Nightmare’s own magic.
Abilities/Special Traits
- His arm is capable of minor physical changes, and is able to withstand blows from most weaponry. Killer has learned how to utilize this in combat to it’s fullest.
- He often chooses to keep his arm hidden under his cloak, but he shows it off when he wishes to intimidate others.
- Killer's eyes enable him to see in the dark, but cause issues with reading. He also has difficulties seeing if it is too bright. He prefers the dark now.
- Killer is skilled with most bladed weaponry, but prefers knives as his main weapon.
- Due to having Nightmare’s magic fused with his body, he is able to utilize it for his attacks to a minor extent.
- Killer is able to move his soul around his body, and hide it for short periods of time. If he feels a surplus of positive emotion, his soul will revert to a heart shape. (Though he can suppress this if he makes a conscious effort to do so)
Misc.
- Killer is fond of cats and most small animals.
- He has a nice voice, though he doesn’t sing. (He would if Nightmare asked)
- Killer has a habit of cleaning his knives at least once a week. He will do so if he’s bored as well.
- Killer is 5′8″ (~173cm)
- Killer prefers to sleep on his side, and is a particularly light sleeper. Most disturbances will wake him up.
- If he was allowed to, he would be quite the cuddler
- He has a fairly high alcohol tolerance. It would take quite a few drinks to get him drunk. (He's a sassy drunk. He has a very loose tongue, and isn't afraid to poke fun at anyone or say anything to get someone flustered. When he's around someone he's interested in, he becomes very flirtatious and touchy.)
