Newest addition to the DTSverse cast! Its Dream! He doesn’t get a fancy new name because I’m lazy and technically the name “AI” was originally made to mock Ink (coined by Dream, funny enough).

Huge info-dump incoming-

Noteworthy Information: - He has never eaten any apples, but he does have one in his possession (locked away for his brother and his own safety) - Since he never ate any apples he also has no magic. No magical bows or arrows for him. All he’s got is the equivalent of a fancy bow-staff and an inability to travel through universes. - He’s about 300 years old. He used to be friends with AI as well, and they had formed a short-lived group along with one of Dream’s newer friends, Swap (basically just an underswap sans, you get the gist). - Swap is his best friend, and he comes over quite often to play games and talk with Dream. - AI is the only person Dream hates so much he put preventative measures on his house (with the help of his brother) to keep him out. - Speaking of his brother. Dream and Nightmare’s relationship is currently very stable. They celebrate their birthdays together and Nightmare will often taxi Dream from place to place for him. I’ll probably put something out for Nightmare later on (i haven’t fully fleshed him out yet haha) - Both Dream and Nightmare have always had urges to eat the apples, whether under pressure or not. This is why the last apple is locked away. Sometimes it gets so bad for Dream that he will take the apple, place it on the table, and stare at it for hours. - The only reason he has never eaten the apple is the promise he made to his brother many years ago. - He has a one-story house in one of the corners of the doodle sphere. AI knows where it is, but its not like he wants to be over there anyway. - AI once gave Dream some chairs he made that magically change colors depending on who sits in them. Dream keeps them despite his hatred for AI, and only one does not change colors due to Dream painting it himself. Its blue.

I fell in love with this AU. I hope I drew the right one.

This is the template I usually use, based on looking at multiple color wheels and what we already know about Ink. 

Now take all of these emotions and remove the ones that are perceived as negative (exception: anger and disgust). He still has the vials that cause these emotions, but he refrains from taking them as they hold him back. So I guess if you color his eyes, it’s best the colors match something in this spectrum of “good emotions.”This is one of the main ways you can tell he’s lying. If he’s telling some sad story and crying and shit, but his eyes are yellow and pink, obviously he’s lying.

As for the shape, it depends. Most of the time it is just alternating shapes of whatever you can think of. However, sometimes AI will have taken way way less than he probably should have, and instead of shapes, there will just be two hollow circles. These circles have pale colors in them, indicating he still has emotion. Drawing him with completely white eyes will be out of character, as he will never allow himself to reach that state.

Actually me an kai had played around with that idea. They’d probably get along for like the first day they meet but after that-
