He looks a lot like Night Night but more...elegant and older, looking with grey streaks in his hair. He is the same height as Morpheus, i.e., 6'6. Epiales lost an arm in some long ago war with Hell, so his arm has been replaced with a limb made out of shadowy nightmare energy. He, like Nightmare, has a French accent, but his voice is deeper and more smooth with an air of kingly authority.Yes, Epiales does wear makeup and is fond of trying to look his best He wears a lot of purple and black in his outfits with dark blue eyeshadow complimentary to Nightmares' green and black color scheme and bright teal eyeshadow . He has a longer goatee on his pale chin, and his eyes are bright green as well. Epiales has three Bright green eyes with black sclera. is the progenitor of the dreamon race, so basically, all the dreamons currently are related to him (including Nightmare)

☆Backstory☆
|Creation and Early Life|
Some say he was birthed from Nyx alongside Morpheus and the rest of the Endless. But that is not true. Epiales is self created. He did not need anyone else to birth him into this realm. Which says alot about his character in that he doesn't answer to no one bur himself which infuriates Morpheus whose duties are to keep dreams and nightmares in line...but Epiales has his own goals instead of serving the Endless and the waking world. He was of course put in charge of The Dream Realm (Not The Dreaming/Dreamscape which consists of all the dreams of the multiverse.) The Dream Realm is a smaller dimension of one universe set next to the Nightmare Realm of that universe. Of course, him being the King , he decided he needed some servants. So he created the first line of Dreamons, which are nocturnal demons that reside solely in the Dream and Nightmare realms. These dreamons will become the dreams that we know of today.
|Political Upheaval|
Epiales and The Dweller in Darkness wanted to have a group to terrorize the masses full of bogeymen and fearsome creatures. The two put their heads together and created The Fearlords. The two recruited the rest of the known group(sans Nightmare) as time went on. (D'spayre and Straw Man were the last ones to the group)but they were a force to reckon with which got the Hell-lords attention due to a competing want for peoples souls, fear and awe as well. The Fearlords and Hell-Lords sent messages back and forth, basically taunting each other until a brutal war against Hell broke out. Epiales lost his arm while fighting Dormammu and Mephisto. His missing arm was then replaced with a limb made completely out of nightmare energy.
|Birth of Nightmare|
Epiales the self created god of nightmares, and King of the Dream Realm was getting antsy for retirement after a millennia of ruling the realms... so without a wife using his vast powers, he conceived a son whom he named Nightmare(Cause he was lazy). The young prince was held in high esteem by his father as the next heir to the throne. Nightmare was sent to live in Everiynne, a dimension higher than the 6th dimenson when he was a teenager because he was getting too rowdy.
|Present time|
He currently resides in the shattered old nightmare dimension, which is where he was banished by Morpheus for eternity. His crimes were that he took power for himself and went against Morpheuses orders time and time again. The last time before he got banished, he basically tried to completely destroy The Dreaming and turn it into a realm of nightmares. One can go in and out of his realm, but him and his rogue dreamons can not escape the realm in light of the punishment Morpheus set down if he tried : complete Eradication of him and his species..well except for one being that has been created by him a long time ago...

☆Powers and Abilities☆
|Dreamweaver/Dream Manipulation|
A spell that enables the to traverse the Dream Realm / Dreamscape. It is used to communicate through dreams. You are able to manipulate people's dreams , dream hop , make people have nightmares, fight against nightmares, and forsee the future to an extent. The must combine this with astral projection, and they have a central dream hub that is customized to their liking, and other peoples dreams of their choosing are connected to it as well . Also, the or target must be asleep or put to sleep. He is able to eat dreams..
|Tribulations of Thanatos/Nightmare Manipulation|
The old patron of death and nightmares, when called upon, brings the feeling of terror to the victims of this spell. Able to be mixed with Delusia to create dreadful beings, scary sensations like falling, being unable to wake up, or being on the brink of madness but that is just the warping of the victims minds own images by the castor. He is able to imprison people into nightmares and feed on their fears
|Mindfulness of Mnemosyne|
Calling upon the Greek titan of memory and the mother of the Muses enables the to bring back memories or to erase memories. The most you can bring back if someone has non permanent amnesia or memory loss is up to three months but if it's permanent amnesia the spell will max out at 4 years but the power of the spell mostly depends on how much memory was lost. He is able to go into the past memories of a person using objects like souls and hair. Objects are an archive of memories of the person. Their soul is especially powerful since it is with them in the dream realm and holds a wealth of information about the person even if they are deceased
|Nightmare Manifestation|
Epiales is nightmares personified, so of course, he gets the ability to control said concept . Epiales's primordial form is unknown unlike Nightmare who likes to show off his primordial form often so some say that Epiales's primordial form is so fearsome no one lived to tell the tale if they saw it since it is beyond mortal comprehension in how terrifying it is. Night's primordial form doesn't have this effect if only seen, but if you walk through him, you will go mad or drop dead from utter fear.
|Eldritch Monster Manipulation|
He also has many eldritch monsters at his command as well as Dreamons and is said to have inspired cosmic horror authors such as H. P Lovecraft with his creatures that he sends in dreams.
|Abyss Manipulation|
He can manipulate the Abyss created by lack of emotional control or the abyss created by ones negative emotions. He has monsters he uses to capture and imprison beings who let their shadows overcome them as punishment
|Self Creation|
He is so powerful that he self created himself and Nightmare, who was the first Dreamon(along with all other dreams later on. ) without a wife or parents
|Shapeshifting|
He is a master shapeshifter and takes on the form of what one fears the most.
|Illusion Generation(main) or Delusia Novos|
This is the main spell that is used when traveling down the Path of Delusia. It is used to generate different illusions or hallucinations like auditory, visual, and olfactory. Again, it does not break the laws of reality since it uses illusionary energy to manifest into semi-corporeal form. The Illusions are able to be manipulated or combined with other spells for different effects. Ie: Dupication(Duplex) spell combined with this makes Images of Ikonn, which I will be going over in a bit. Is Self perceptive , Selective, and Universal
|Conjuring|
Able to conjure an object to you from anywhere, i.e., teleporting a bowl of soup from home to you in the park. You can't materialize new objects from thin air . The objects have to already exist for this spell to work . You can multiply and clone objects, but there needs to be a base object to clone from. Unless you are Epiales and can conjure up anything from nowhere when he is in the Nightmare Realm
|Summoning|
He is able to summon weapons and monsters formed by the energy he collects that emits children and adults when they are tormented by nightmares. Epiales and Nightmare are the only ones who can see this energy
|Shadow Manipulation|
Epiales is able to hide in peoples shadows and possess the shadows to scare people for his own amusment. He can create humanoid beings made out of shadows (shadow people that haunt peoples minds in the dark. ) or shadowy animals. Also, shadowy dark tentacles or hands can come out of his back.
|Fire manipulation|
Enables the to control fire to give off heat or light or for offensive. This type of magic depends on the s emotional state (the stronger emotions the is feeling, the stronger and hotter the fire), the fire changes colors as well depending on temperature. Can't be used underwater and ice and cold negates this. If you are not disciplined, you will easily lose control and hurt yourself or others with the burning infernos. He usually breathes fire for theatrics .
|Eclipse of Erebus/Darkness manipulation|
Calling upon the primordial Greek deity of darkness that was one out of many born from Chaos Erebus. With this spell, you call upon the primordial essence of darkness to swallow the light. So, says the ancient texts. You are able to create blobs of Umbra magic , beams, or radiate darkness as a shield. It revels secrets hidden in light since before light was darkness. You are able to form and shape the Umbra energy into weapons and creatures. Can be used to absorb light and convert it to Umbra magic. Works best at night. And the power peaks at eclipses . Umbra is different from dark dimension magic in that it doesn't corrupt the if control gets out of their grip or stain them . Umbra, along with use in combat, reveals secrets hidden away, and some arcane doors or mechanisms need Umbra magic to activate or unlock them. It's not shadow magic that needs to utilize light to activate its full potential.
|Cloaking|
The is able to hide themselves using the velvety cloak of Umbra. But they need outside shadows or dark places to work at their full potential. If done in light, the is cloaked in a deep purple energy. That is the pure form of Umbra magic . You can also use this to hide in people's shadows
|Oneiriotence|
Being the God of Nightmares enables him while he is in the Nightmare Dimension is able to have infinite power and knowledge of what goes on in his kingdom and who arrives and leaves.

☆Personality☆
Epiales is insane compared to his son Nightmare, considering being banished as long as he was to a dark desolate realm can drive anyone mad. He is an arrogant asshole who answers to no one but himself, which drives Morpheus insane since even he at times has trouble controlling Epiales since the dreamon was not created by him. He is calm and refined one minute, and then he is like, "GONNA TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB" the next. Epiales is bent on vengeance and wishes for his son Nightmare to keep his legacy alive but considering the dreamon is loyal because he works for Morpheus that dream of complete annihilation of The Dreamings master is looking quite distant.

☆Weaknesses☆
Epiales and his army of Dreamons are not really affected by holy items like crucifixes or holy books as much as Hell-Demons, but holy water will send them scurrythe hills. If he is exposed to objects or beings with extremely high levels of holiness he will get severely sick and can't really use his powers well if that happens ....also burning herbs like rosemary and sage help ...you can also blow the ashs on him and he would nope out. Epiales can't be actually fully destroyed . But his physical body is actually made up of shadows and nightmare energy so he can just regenerate but it might take a while depending on how injured he is which while he is regenerating it can leave him open to further attack leaving him to turn tail and run

☆Relationships☆
|Morpheus|
The only thing within dreams that can take this fearsome entity head to head is Morpheus. Epiales has a murderous blood fueled grudge against the King of The Dreaming who banished him because he tried to turn Morpheus's realm into a living nightmare. He goes berserk whenever Morpheus is even mentioned.
|Nightmare|
Epiales's son, who is a disappointment for turning to the so-called "dark" side in his eyes(working for Morpheus) . Epiales looks down at his son, thinking he is inferior to him. When Young Prince Nightmare was created, his father had high expectations, and the King of Nightmares did not know how to be a father at all being manipulative and distant to his heir.
