What is a Dream-Sprite and what are they for?
For those who have not heard of the word used outside of technology and pixels, a Sprite is a supernatural entity and the term is often used in regard to elves and fairies in European folklore, in modern English it is rarely used in reference to spirits. The species “Dream-Sprites” involve both your dream/goal and similar thoughts on top of a magical being to assist you or encourage you basically.
How are Dream-Sprites “born”?
Everyone most likely has had a dream they’ve wanted to make reality or a goal they want to complete and the like which is what the Dream-Sprites are connected with. The instant you begin to pursue your goal/dream, these spiritual beings will be born and they will help you along your journey with support and encouragement since you are their “master” and in return they have their own dream to pursue which will be achieved once you’re pleased with the end result of your goal/dream.
How many Sprites can you have?
This all depends on how many major goals or dreams you are aiming for. You can have multiple Sprites which will each share their “master” and have fun together as a group if you have multiple goals/dreams but it is not mandatory to have a Sprite for each dream/goal, it is perfectly fine to have 1
What do they look like?
When first born, Dream-Sprites have the appearance of an ordinary elf with a height of 7cm. As you progress further into your goal/dream, your sprite will change its appearance slightly. They will begin to grow wings that start out small and once you have completed your goal/dream or are happy with the state you’re at within it, your sprite friend will have its wings grow into a wing length from their back up of roughly 10cm and they will reach the final height of 15cm which is the dream the sprites pursue themselves.
The design of your sprites varies between your goals/dreams:
If you are hoping to become a scientist for example, the sprite will have an outfit themed like a scientist with a lab coat and safety gear etc., if you want to become a singer then your sprite will have an outfit with accessories relating to music. Even if it’s a goal such as conquering anxiety, the outfit may be bright to show you the light at the end of the tunnel or their outfit could start out really dark but it slowly becomes brighter as you achieve this goal. It’s all up to the “master” of the sprite as to how your Dream-Sprite is designed as it is your own dream or goal etc.
Besides having a themed outfit, your Sprite has an accessory or other trait that is similar to yours. This is your own choice as it could be you may have freckles so the Sprite does or your favourite animal is ____ so they have an item or accessory with that animal design and so and on so forth.
Each Sprites wings have a unique design/pattern on them that relates to their themed outfit. For a musically Dream-Sprite their wings may have music notes with swirls or if they are a teaching Dream-Sprite then maybe pencils, apples, letters etc. or whatever you may picture when thinking of the dream/goal of yours.
Do Sprites have different personality/behaviour traits?
Each sprite has a different personality, some more outgoing than others but they each try to stay somewhat mature in their decisions in supporting their “master”. Some Sprites are shy and anxious while others are loud and ambitious but they are each honed to assist their “master” in their own way that they know will help and/or inspire you since each person has a different way of overcoming or improving on things.
What happens to a Sprite if I give up on my goal/dream?
Although they are there to help and support you, there comes a time where you give up on something or you find something else to do. If you were to give up on or swap to a new goal/dream then your specified sprite will remain with you with the hope that you may one day go back to that dream/goal. Some Sprites often change their attitude and design to fit in with this new hobby/dream/goal so they can be with you forever however if they do so, they lose their wings and height once more and go back to their appearance when they were first born. You can gift them to others however their personality changes after doing so. If you had a tsundere like Sprite and you gave them to someone else then they would try to stay happy and high spirited since they would think you left them because of who they were as a Sprite. This may be the opposite for a Sprite that was always happy-go-lucky. Those Sprites will often become rather agitated, confused, depressed or to tsundere since they don’t think that “people will like them even if they are nice so why should they bother?” sort of attitude. Many Sprites become quite cold hearted however which is why their “new master” must give them extra attention and treat them right for them to take an interest or like you.
The health of a Sprite?
It is unknown how exactly but your Sprites health is somewhat connected to your own. If you are to become sick then so will your Sprite. It is possible they gain your sickness as sympathy illness however some illnesses/diseases/flus etc. they are immune to. It is not too much of a worry however as they don’t become as sick as their “master” and gain less than half of your sickness.
Is there a certain way they must be drawn?
I am definitely aware that each person has a different art style or something they find easier to draw so when creating a Sprite you have the freedom of drawing them how YOU want
Whether draw your Sprite’s in an anime style, realistic/semi realistic, chibi style and so on and so forth anything is fine and if you wish I can also draw them up in my style~
How do I get a Dream-Sprite?
In order to gain a Dream-Sprite you must have certification from a certified breeder such as myself which can be shown through a ticket (not a physical ticket just a metaphorical ticket), buying an adopt, free MYO events or if you yourself are a certified breeder. Tickets can be handed out by these breeders for winning raffles or contests, doing some sort of good deed or being seen as worthy of one since I believe that those that are kind deserve to be rewarded for their kindness
The first 20 or so people to note me and/or comment AND join the group will get a free ticket each. All ideas for Dream-Sprites must go through me so I prefer to be told how you wish to design your Sprite before you do so or to send me a sketched version so I can analyse and determine if it fits the requirements.
Thank you for those who have read this~ The species is still a work in progress so any ideas that come to mind can gladly be discussed and changed
If anyone is interested in joining the creation of these species, feel free to send me a note/comment!!
I'll be working on some reference sheets for the species in awhile but it is a bit delayed due to school work on top of homework
Hopefully people have taken interest in the species~
