Dsmp AU where Dream is just 3 kids (gods) in a trench coat.
DreamXD is the head, the defacto leader of their little group, and decides most of what “Dream”’s personality or goals are like. He’s the oldest of the three and will claim he’s also the smartest. He tends to flip flop on taking this whole “Dream” thing seriously or just deciding to fuck around.
Drista is the arms. She’s the first to point out when there going off script or out of character but also the first one to incite all the chaos. As the most gremlin child of them all, she’s also the youngest, and has occasionally taken over as the head.
NotDream123 is the legs. They are the middle child, and have only ever taken over as the head a couple of times. He tends to be the mediator between the two, and often follows along one fo the others’ plans. As a result, she’s never formed a “real” personality and now greatly regrets it. He is also, unfortunately, the most committed to the bit.
During the disc finale, each time “Dream” died one of the kids died in his place. And everytime it happened Dream would get shorter by 2 feet as a result. The first one was XD, the second one was Drista. ND123 ends up having to build extra long stilts and fake glove hands to keep up appearances. It is very scuffed.
After dying and losing their mortal form, XD and Drista left to do their own thing, leaving ND123 alone and in charge of “Dream”. He is decidedly pissed.
Ranboo is the only one who knows Dream is just three kids in a trench coat. And that’s because he’s often mistaken as four kids in a trench coat and figured it out. The kids bribed Ranboo into silence with silk touch hands.
Schlatt also knew. He found out by seeing what was under Dream’s cloak, and decided he was too drunk to deal with this.
Everyone else is distressingly oblivious to Dream’s whole deal.
During the prison arc, ND123 accidentally kills Tommy with her fake hands. Which the other two found hilarious.
When Q comes in to torture “Dream”, he picks Dream up and ND123 comes tumbling out of the clothing in a thud.
ND123 calls Ranboo for help. Ranboo claims custody over ND123 and wins the court case breaks them out.
ND123 is then dropped off at Techno’s place as an impromptu babysitter. They give him a juice box.
ND123 proceeds to beg Ranboo for help in piloting the “Dream” body/character. “Dream” is now 2 feet taller than he was before, and everyone on the server thinks he’s a shapeshifter.
Techno realizes he almost got bested by three kids in a trench coat.
.....NOT EVEN CLOSE
XD originally wanted to name their persona “Nightmare”. It was vetoed for being too edgy.
XD, Drista, and ND123 had a three day planning session trying to flesh out “Dream” and their response to Wilbur’s L’Manberg revolution. XD tends to go off script when people piss him off tho.
All three are scarily competent fighters, together as Dream or separate as their own person.
