Sorta like Scion meets Percy Jackson meets Harry Potter meets Gunnerkrigg Court... this massive... idk, castle but also with more to it so it was more like this town of sorts... away in the clouds. People were sent there, it was sort of a school. The people were chosen of various ages and sent there, "adopted" by various god/desses and given their specific powers and the castle thing was a school/training grounds of sorts. It was, in the dream, mostly kids of various ages (those chosen as adults were trained elsewhere)... the girl I was in the dream was chosen but unlike the others had no idea who by. Her powers were somewhat weak in the beginning (had sort of a sponge ability... taking on others' powers in small doses. Mostly what she could do at the beginning was simply being able to look at some one and know who their god was and what their abilities were) and later after she aged some she could take on many powers and still had no idea who her adopted god was as they had yet to come forth and claim her.
This right here is the girl that I was in the dream. If I ever made this a project she wouldn't really be "me" (because I was her, not the other way around) but she was a tiny red-and-curly-headed young girl.
Also I'd probably change up her powers somewhat from what they were in-dream so she'd not be so over-powered. Stories and characters created from dreams need major work otherwise it ends up badly (see: Twilight)
BUT yeah she's fun to draw... and not meant to look too much like Merida from Brave
Somehow this image, though not necessarily the story behind it, reminds me most of Higurashi. In the "seemingly innocent girls turn creepy with blank eyes and large knives" sense.
That sounds really awesome. I've been having a similar problem with an OP main character while writing my book (she has the same kind of sponginess). But this looks fantastic on its own.
... Good to know.
some of my best stories came from dreams that i had
