The Monster Trapped in Hell

"You see me as a gentle giant, kind and loving... not an ounce of evil within my body...
However... you have not seen the true nature of my being... it lays dormant deep within. Do you have the power to stop me if I succumb to my nature?"
44 Days

Advantages
+ Size
Nightmare's size and bulk make him a wall and tower when fighting. While he does not move extremely fast due to this, his size is a clear advantage in many cases and Nightmare uses it to his own advantage in any fight against something that is smaller than himself. Nightmare's size and bulk make him a true wall to break through, while it seems as though this is something that is hard to break it is not. When put against his weaknesses, Nightmare's size can only do so much for him.

+ Built to Last
Nightmare's form is built to withstand the heat of a long battle, he takes hits with stride and suffers pain but he is built to keep going until utter exhaustion. Nightmare uses his stamina and his size in combination to wear his opponents out. The bulk of his muscle lies in his chest and powerful legs, making his stamina and ability to take a fight exceptional. Combined with his experience through the countless fights he has had with his enemies, Nightmare's ability to last is something.

+ Extremely Aggressive and Cruel
Nightmare is not afraid to do anything and everything that he can in order to utterly destroy his opponents. From biting and clawing, to headbutting and ramming. Nightmare's strengths and ruthless nature make him an intense opponent for anyone to fight, even those that are his size. Smaller stags will likely have trouble but if they exploit the giant stags weaknesses they can topple the beast easily.

+ Weapons
Nightmare has a wide arsenal of weapons. The talons on his front legs are designed to grip and hold down his opponents, the front paws of his limbs being more humanoid than normal with that of a thumb and four fingers. His hind legs are muscled and the claws are meant for tearing and ripping flesh should he kick. His skull is designed to be like a rams, and when he headbutts he can daze, the horns making the skull even more dangerous. His fangs are serrated and designed for gripping, in combination with his pronged bottom jaws which rip and shred flesh.

Weaknesses
- Blind Spots
Nightmare's size may be his advantage but it is also his weakness. Due to his overall towering size, it is hard for him to see in certain areas of his body which lead to major blind spots. These blind spots can be used to the advantage of others, especially if they are opportunistic. Exploiting these blind spots and aiming for Nightmare's legs is one of the best ways to take him down, if you take out his legs you take out the power behind his attacks.

- Extremely Slow
Another play on Nightmare's size, he is very slow... his attacks are almost predictable and easily dodged. However this should not lead you to let your guard down. Nightmare's slow responses often means if he strikes he can dish out a lot of damage.

- Close Fighter
Nightmare cannot use anything at a distance, he must be up close and personal with his opponents to even consider dealing any damage. Because of this he often leaves himself open to someone running out of range and giving them the opportunity to strike him at a blind spot.

- Easy to Avoid
His large size, his slow movements and the fact that he fights up close and personal all give nightmare the weakness of being avoided very easily. Nightmare is much like a crocodile or alligator in the sense that he cannot swing himself around in a smooth turn and thus he ends up having to turn in a slower pace. This makes it possible for anyone to take advantage of getting at his legs and crippling him.

Forever buried deep within the largest of Graves near the Ruins. Many have thought that Nightmare has finally left the lands to never return. However, through the course of his eternal Slumber and with the rise of his son Ghost, the beast of the Nightmares has finally broke free from his shallow tomb. Coming back into the forest with few memories of his past but never looking back. Having to put himself back together the Monster is approachable but it is well advised to wait for him to approach you beforehand.







The Monster of the Forest


The Monster in Disguise


Main Set: Nightfall Pelt, Skull Mask, Peacock Antlers
Alternate Set: DoTD Pelt, Skull Mask, Peacock Antlers/Zombie Antlers
His Size is IMMENSE Toppling even the Largest in the Forest.
At his Shoulder Nightmare Stands over 9' tall
At the Crown of his Head he is Well over 13' Tall
Extremely muscled body that is a combination of a lions build and pitbulls stocky build. He's extremely bulky and very powerful in the muscle mass.
Very thick, very silky dark blue fur covers his body.
At the bottom of the shoulder on his front legs his fur ends and turns into thick, purple muscle and flesh.
Feathers are long, and hang back to the base of his tail when they are relaxed. Feathers move with his emotions. Feathers can also move independently when required, standing straight up on his head means that he is alerted, pushed against his neck is a sign of aggression.
Extremely long, fluffy and very wolf like tail that measures twice the length of his body.
Skull has evolved to show three prongs at the top of the head in a crest like form, the skull's bottom jaw has split into three separate units that are connected together by a thick black membrane.
Skull crowns into three very long prongs with spines on them. Two curved at the sides and one in the center. The skull is also Tar Pit coloration to it.
NO VISIBLE EYES IN HIS SKULL! Nightmare's 'eyes' are never visible, but sometimes when looked at closely a deer can see a small red 'fleck' in the black pools. It's possible this is his pupil.
Markings upon his face resemble a secondary set of jaws and change colors depending on his emotions (Default is bright red, when angered they turn black)
Extremely sharp teeth in mouth, teeth are extremely long when in use and retracted to a normal size when not. Teeth are very sharp and serrated along the edges, and measure between 1 inch and 6 inches in length.
Hidden under the thick fur of Nightmare's tail is an extremely hard, a very thick tail muscle. At the end of his tail there are several barbs which are hidden in the fur. This makes his tail not only an effective cuddle toy, but also a deadly weapon due to the barbs.

The Allies and Foes


Relations and Enemies


If I have forgotten anyone, or you have seen Nightmare in the forest and have him listed on your relations list. Please comment and let me know.
Encountered

His Love, His Children
Nightmare has felt and overwhelming desire to start a new life... to create a family in which he can truly finally understand the feeling that so many others have found. Love... as he grows older, and as he grows out of his emotionless state Nightmare grows more curious about the emotion that has killed him on three occasions... could there be something or someone sparking that red blood back into his black heart?

Esmeralda and Quill
Unknown Relation
These two rocks seemed to have gathered Nightmare's full attention and he has thus dubbed them with names. The smallest of the two being Quill and the largest being Esmeralda. Will seek them out numerous times for solitude and the comfort of having a true 'friend' nearby even if they do not respond or talk back.

Adopted Family
Through his years in this world Nightmare has come and gone, and has seen many different characters. There are some whom he has grown closely attached to, and as such he has become extremely protective of them. Nightmare considers them his family, more so than members of his true family. Anyone that is here will be protected by Nightmare no matter what it does to him, he is willing to harm himself in order to protect those close to him.

Sonan
Adopted Daughter, Close Friends, Extremely Protective Of
Nightmare has known Sonan since she was but a fawn, the stag has always been protective of the little doe and feels a dire need to keep her safe no matter what. He will constantly stand by her side or over her if anything seems as though it were to cause trouble. Sonan has looked up to Nightmare as a father-figure, and Nightmare has considered the little doe a Daughter in his eyes. The relationship has grown tighter and more close knit as they spend time together, making a bond that is truly like father and daughter. Has taken to rubbing and marking her with his scent due to Sianna being around, showing that she is his daughter with it.

Saosin
Adopted Big Brother, Protective Of, Close
One of the few deer that Nightmare met during his first year within the forest. Saosin met the stag before he became what he is now, and they have known each other since. Nightmare would often sit close by Saosin whenever he found the other, often times feeling 'safe' within the large stags presence. Nightmare is not sure how to react to Saosin's more... unusual appearance now since the other has changed quite a bit since they first met. The stag holds a high respect for Saosin and is often times quite proud to consider the other his friend. Nightmare has grown to see Saosin as his Big Brother of sorts, and will often refer to the stag as Big Brother Sao, thanks to Karooi.

Karooi
Adopted 'Sister', Friends, Extremely Protective Of
While in the beginning things between Karooi and Nightmare seemed to be something of a Myth, the stag often bumping heads with Wesker whenever they met... their relationship seems to have softened up since the beginning. Through his time, Nightmare hasn't been seen around Karooi much, but since her adoption of Ghost he has grown to be more like a 'brotherly figure' in his mind for Karooi. Nightmare has since become extremely protective of Karooi, and will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe and from harms way. Since he knows that if anything were to happen to her, Ghost would likely go off the deep end.

Wesker
Adopted 'Brother', Friends, Protective Of
What started out with many collisions and bumping heads seems to have softened up to the point where these two seem to be tolerant of one another. While Nightmare and Wesker likely do not see eye to eye most of the time, Nightmare sees Wesker as a 'brother' of sorts despite their minor tiffs. Nightmare has grown a bit closer to Wesker thanks to Ghost being adopted in by the stag, though that doesn't mean he's quite to the point of sticking around long. Nightmare will be protective of Wesker if it is required, though he knows for the most part that Wesker can take care of himself.

Takeshi
Adopted 'son', Protective of
Despite not truly having been around Takeshi through his times in the forest, Nightmare has come to at least seeing the young stag as an adopted son of Sorts. More so since Ghost has been in relation with the little stag that was born from Wesker and Karooi. Must like his parents, Nightmare will be protective of the little stag whenever the time requires it though much like Wesker... Nightmare knows that Takeshi can protect himself.

Hoshiko
Adopted 'daughter', Protective of, Deceased
While Nightmare never got the chance to see or hear of little Hoshiko during his times in the forest he has come to be a part of the ever growing cycle that know about the unfortunate events that leads to her death. Nightmare often blames himself for it, saying that he is unable to protect Karooi like he should... and often times is seen speaking to the little fawns grave marker. Almost as though he is seeking guidance from her. Nightmare is extremely protective of the area, much like most of the family and will more often than not chase those off that he does not know from the area.

Kari
Adopted 'daughter', Protective of
Whispers have gotten to Nightmare about the birth of Kari. Being what he is, and how protective he is of Karooi and Wesker... Nightmare sees their children as his own and will be very willing to protect her should anything arise in which it is required. He enjoys the young does spitfire attitude and is quite amused by just how fiery of a spark she seems to have in her.

Roxas
Friends, Adopted 'brother', Protective of (Missing?)
Nightmare has met with Roxas on many occasions before the other had gone into a lower key within the forest. While Nightmare and Roxas never had much together, other than a solid friendship... Nightmare felt like he was something of a Guardian for the young stag. Nightmare would never understand fully what Roxas or the rest of the Organization were but he knew they weren't something that was common in this forest. In fact, he felt that Roxas... in a way, was almost like him. Nightmare would see himself as a 'big brother' for Roxas whenever it was needed and was always protective of Roxas. Watching from the sidelines to make sure the youth wasn't hurt.

Jorogumo
Close Friends, Adopted Sister, Extremely Protective Of
Nightmare and Jorogumo's relationship is one of many mysteries. It's unknown to many what the two actually see in each other. Many times Nightmare will openly seek the Spider Queen out just for the sole purpose of having company rather than being alone. He has come to see her as a sister over the months that they have known each other. But that relationship is rather fragile, he does not wish to hurt Joro by fighting her over protective mate Beau. However the impossible means of avoiding it cannot be avoided for long... eventually a fight will break out, and ties might be broken.

Allies and Others
Those who've come and grown to know Nightmare have been forever and imprint on his life. He cherishes each and every one of these deer and will PROTECT them with his life. Some he has not met in game, but due to Ghost's relation to him... they are his Allies as well. If anyone has met him in forest, feel free to post so that you can be added to the list. In no particular Order really. If I have missed anyone please let me know.

Sithrim
Close Friends, Protective Of, Close
Sithrim was the first person that ever was capable of getting close to Nightmare. Back before the beast of a stag became what he is today, Sithrim was the one who approached him during a time where the creature displayed his fear for the devout. Through that a friendship sparked and it's something that has continued to this day. While Nightmare doesn't often get to see his friend Sithrim, he makes any attempts to be close to the other when possible. Nightmare's friendship and loyalties for the blue stag go so far that he's willing to injure himself to protect the other. It goes without saying that Nightmare is extremely protective of Sithrim.

Crybaby
Close Friends, Protective Of
In recent events Nightmare has come to meet the little Fallen Angel that Sithrim has taken into his life. Nightmare doesn't mind the other, and often times will be seen laying next to the little stag when Sithrim is not around. They are still getting to know each other, and Nightmare's amused by the young stag but he's always worrying about Crybaby's Health. While the other tells him he shouldn't, Nightmare cannot help but do so. Much like with Sithrim, Nightmare is Extremely protective of the little Angel and is willing to do anything he can to protect the other if he is in any danger.


Myu
Dear Friends, Close, Protective Of
The spark of a relationship from so long ago has been brought back to life with Myu's return to this world. Nightmare had almost forgotten about her... but that memory came around when he saw the doe again. While their relationship is something that is a mixture of emotions, Nightmare enjoys poking his fun at Myu... though he knows how to be serious he's more prone to trying to see her laugh and flounder about than anything else. Nightmare is protective of Myu, and has shown his means of protection in the past when they were around. She seems to be somewhat of an interest for him now... maybe it's just those growing emotions that he's once lost coming back.

Herla
Friends, Cherished, Considering Cutting his Ties with Her
Despite having strong emotions for Herla, Nightmare is growing to the point where he is considering cutting all his ties with the small black doe. Feeling that she has better friends out there than himself and more cherished 'loved ones'. Having confessed his overall feelings for her one evening, he feels that the best choice of actions, despite what others might think, is to leave her side and not look back. More so out of fear of killing himself again than anything else, since the likely hood of this happening again is high due to the fact that there seems to be so many others vying for the does attention and 'love'.

Darcy
Friends, Cherished, Protective Of
With his growing thoughts and lingering mind it's possible that Nightmare is more than likely going to be sharing his time with Darcy when he is within the forest. While the two have had several rocky slides in the past Nightmare feels that at this time Darcy is the only one that he can truly seek out for any sort of comfort or relaxation, the two sharing more in common than they initially thought. Though Nightmare is not sure how Darcy will take to him when he brings up the possibilities of breaking his ties with Herla...

RavenFlight
Friends, Enjoys her Company
Nightmare has been spending time with the doe ever since he met her a few days back with the rest of the small group. She's caught his eye as a friend and he enjoys her company when he is with the others. The stag is growing to enjoy her presence whenever she is around and has a feeling that they will have a strong friendship in the future.

Migisi
Friends?, Enjoys her Company and Grooming
Unlike many of the birds that Nightmare has seen in the forest, Migisi is one that he can tolerate and not want to bite into tiny little bits. He is rather fond of the tiny Jackdaw's company and enjoys her preening and grooming his feathers free of anything that happens to get caught up in them. He will likely lay out near he (And try to avoid squishing her in the process) Just to let her groom him free of pests and other things that might get caught up in his shaggy fur and feathers.

Sorog
Friend, Unsure Standings
While Nightmare used to come to respect and try to understand Sorog more recent actions have made him start to have his growing Hatred for the Striped Stag once again. After events that had happened with Sianna, and then what happened and transpired with Kumiko... he has no intentions of trying to see Sorog as anything more than a cruel bastard and puppet to the creature that he calls a mate. Is likely to ward Sorog away or even attack him if he feels that the other stag is going to be a threat.

Kumiko
Friends, Protective Of
Nightmare has seen Kumiko staying close to Darcy, he can feel her love for the monarch stag and has spoken to Darcy about such things. Listening to the stags concerns, he understands what the other is feeling. He doesn't mind Kumiko's presence and rather enjoys the does company whenever she is around. He is now growing increasingly protective of her after hearing of the events that transpired with Sianna and Sorog.

Enemies of the Monster
Being within this world does not come without fights... and Nightmare has shared many of them within this world. While many of those he has hated have seemed to go, there are still a few that have stuck it out through and through... if you desire to become an enemy feel free to ask.

Renoir
HATED Enemy, Countless Fights
Renoir's and Nightmare's relationship would start from the day that he first met Sithrim. Back then Nightmare was more of a coward but as their time in the forest grew and Nightmare would grow older and go through his rebirths, their heated hatred would grow with it. Nightmare has always despised Renoir, mostly because the other would cause harm on those close to him. And the more Renoir would do so, the greater that hatred. Despite everything, Nightmare holds a respect for the stag, and knows when to attack and when not to attack. Odds are however that whenever Renoir approaches, there's going to be more roaring and a possible fight than Nightmare just leaving him be.

Beliar
HATED Enemy, Countless Fights, Gone/Deceased
The relationship between Nightmare and Beliar was a heated one, Nightmare would openly hunt for the demon stag whenever possible. They would have fights, but Nightmare was never around to see the other stags ending. What sparked this hatred was a long since gone battle, which has been forgotten with time. Though Nightmare is glad that the Demon Stag is gone, he cannot seem to get over those terrible events in the past that have forever dragged him down.

Walter
Hated Enemy, Despises and Will Likely Attack on Sight
While Nightmare and Walter have never truly had an encounter within the forest, the blue monster has learned a great deal about him from his time with Karooi. Learning from the small doe of what the Stag did to her he grew a rotten taste in his mouth, with the events happening with Herla and the thoughts of it happening again Nightmare has now grown to the point where he is likely going to make sure that this 'old, blind and heart failing' stag cannot do anymore damage to those he truly cares about.

Sianna
Enemy/Rocky Relationship, Doesn't Trust, Despises
While they had a conversation of sorts one night, Nightmare fell into the trap that Sianna was luring him into. Playing the Sympathetic card his way and catching him off guard while he was suffered through the time in which his leg was at it's worst. Listening to what she told him only made matters worse though he doesn't attack her outright if he doesn't have to.
