I technically finished this last night but I was sleepy so I didn't post it

It's Nightmare!!

Oki, time to ramble about his backstory

So firstly, the twins don't guard a big tree

If they did, Adam and Eve wouldn't have been sent to Earth /j

Instead, their domains encircle Nim's resting place

She kinda just made two gods and then went to take the world's longest nap

Mortals can't go to the God's Realm (before death) so they don't gotta worry about that

They don't gotta worry about anything, actually

Nightmare's just paranoid and Dream does whatever he can to make him feel better

He's been paranoid since before the incident

He's the God of Fear and he believes that's enough reason for the other gods to want to plot against him

On bad days, he finds it difficult to trust Dream too

Only Killer (I still have no idea what to do with him, I just have a vague design) and Crescent get a pass, mostly because he thinks they're too weak to succeed if they really tried to kill him

When he was younger, he was slightly obsessed with his appearance

He kinda believed that if he looked presentable, other people would like him more

However, because of his paranoia, he still felt like the other gods were out to get him

This meant he tended to cause conflicts sometimes

Even though he believed it was in self-defence, he was usually the one initiating the fights

And one time, he made the mistake of messing with the God of Destruction

He lost

Very badly

Error was going easy on him, but his version of easy is very skewed

He took a hit to his right eye socket, which allowed his aura to begin leaking out of his body

He spent a while hiding, during which Dream was freaking out trying to find his brother

Eventually, Nightmare regained enough sense to go to Dream for help

However, by then, his aura had stained his bones and clothes, making them appear darker

It freaked out Dream even if he didn't say anything while he did his best to tend to his brother's injuries

Nowadays, Nightmare doesn't care much about his appearance

He is still paranoid though and doesn't want his weakness to be used against him so he uses his abilities to hide his injury

It's still there, you just can't see it

Also, Crescent doesn't know it exists

Since he spent so much time with him, Nightmare's aura stained his son's bones too, making them grey instead of white

The only reason that Crescent still has those stripes and the crescent shape on his forehead is because that's his magic manifesting onto his body and you can't stain magic without getting LV

Think of it like Ink's tattoos

The mug was a gift from Crescent

He kind of manifested it by using the magic in Nightmare's domain and then painting onto it

He practiced lots before giving the best one to his dad

Nightmare loves it and even though he doesn't need food/water, he fills it with lots of drinks so that he can stare at the drawing on the back

Also, he thinks that using it more often will make Crescent love him more, but he's being silly because Crescent loves him anyway

As one can imagine, Crescent going to the Mortal Realm is freaking him out

He has no idea why he'd go down there, especially when there's a prophecy that literally dictates he's going to interact with "a great evil"

...Not that Nightmare's told him about the prophecy

Nightmare has thrown hands with other gods multiple times for insulting his son because of this prophecy

He also would have done the same to Sci for revealing it in the first place, but Sci knew where to hide

Most of the gods fear Crescent as much as they fear Nightmare

Also, he has resting bitch face so sometimes he and someone else are staring at each other and both freaking out
