Character Name: Ronan Lynch (but this isn't the name he'll remember) / Greywaren (for our purposes)
Sign: The Moon
Outfit: The degree to which the Greywaren is even apparently human will probably vary from moment to moment, but you can expect to encounter something like this or... a common raven. The Moon symbol is either tattooed onto his skin (with the rest of his tattoos) or a subtle pattern in his feathers.

First Impressions of This Character: This creature isn't human and it doesn't care about human things. It prefers to remain undisturbed in the place it's claimed for itself and all it wants to do is thrive in that place. It is extremely protective of that space and will react violently to uninvited trespassers who don't pay it an appropriate amount of respect and reverence. If it's near you, you'll find that it's easier to manifest the things you want, but that also feels dangerous and maybe a little addictive and maddening.

Their First Impressions of Others: The Greywaren responds positively to offerings, sacrifices, and gratitude. It doesn't like to be approached but it'll warm up to coaxing and promises of gifts. It feeds on energy and is attracted to people who can direct energy towards it. It has an affinity for transformative signs like The Tower, Death, and The Devil, but struggles with the rigidity of The Emperor. It enjoys granting wishes and serving people who appeal to it. It does not like to be dominated by force.

Domain: An enchanted forest straight out of a fairy tale, impossibly beautiful and intoxicating, the kind of place where men lose centuries of their lives just wandering. It's going to be a long winter night when it first manifests, but it's likely to shift seasons or respond to the personalities of its neighbors. Birch trees and strange blue flowers are going to be the most common plants found, but there's a little of everything, with sparkling lights like fireflies floating everywhere. The greatest threat here is how tempting it is to lie down and stay forever.

General Plans: We're pretty much in Ronan's native territory. Dream manipulation and manifestation are his natural powers, but beyond that, Ronan himself is a dream. The Greywaren is the name that other dreams call him, so we're going with that here as the primary way he'll be recognized in the Horizon. He acts as a psychopomp for other dreamers, focusing their will and energy, which is something he can do for others here, too. It's going to be extremely difficult for anyone to overpower the Greywaren in this space, because even though he doesn't have his memories, he does have his innate skills, and dreams are basically his kingdom. I'm totally not opposed to anyone fucking around and finding out, though! If you want his help to strengthen your manifestations or just want to get drunk off his presence, you'll have to make a bargain with him. Nothing can possibly go wrong with a fairy bargain, right?
