Facial Features

The most telling physical trait of the Sleep Walker is his eyes, completely white without any iris at all. He can still see as well as mortals, and cannot be blinded by mundane means.

The Sleep Walker purportedly dresses in simple clothes died in bright colors and worn the way of an ascetic monk. When transiting a dream, He will change his attire automatically to blend into the environment, even though he is invisible in those dreams.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The Sleep Walker was created by the Gods in the Lost Age. The Archive of Lost Dreams needed a custodian and protector, to ensure the dreams were going where they were supposed to, and that nobody was stealing or destroying dreams. The Sleep Walker was created as am immortal being, bound to the Archive and its tasks. He has never left the Archive, but through the dreams and imaginations he sees, is aware of all parts of the world.

Gender Identity

Being an immortal being created by the Gods, The Sleep Walker is technically sexless as it cannot reproduce, but presents as male by T'saran standards.

Sexuality

The Sleep Walker does not have a sexuality to speak of, being created solely to understand, process, and protect the dreams of mortals. Having watched and experienced dreams of others as if they were his, he at least understands what sexuality is and is intimately familiar with the various fantasies and fetishes that often live only in one's dreams.

Education

The Sleep Walker was imparted with a great deal of knowledge of T'sara when he was first created that would be necessary to the understanding of the world and the dreams he was responsible for. His knowledge since than has only been increased through dreams, meaning there are large gaps in his knowledge, such as with geography and history. He's aware of magic and it's broad categorizations, but what is actually possible in the realms of magic and what is the fabrications of sleep is hard for him to determine. Where he has beeen caught up is in language; being fluent in any language or communication that has ever existed.

Morality & Philosophy

The Sleep Walker does not have the capability of going outside it's created purview and task; he will always defend the archive, always preserve the dreams it holds, even if there is a sparse number of people who are aware of it's existance.
Within the metaphorical box that creates, a personality of the Sleep Walker does show through. He is mischevious and even bored with his eternal task. If he were to receive guests or have to contend with invaders, he would have Three Ages of time to have devised creative ways to handle them. At this point, it's uncertain whether he would be able to accurately tell the difference between the curious and the hostile.

Taboos

The greatest taboo The Sleep Walker has is allowing any Codex of Dreams to be taken out of the Archive. Reviewing their contents is prohibited, but he has reasoned that if he does so with someone, it would be acceptable as it is his job to do so.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

The Sleep Walker, ironically, is said to be tired of his responsibilities. His only ability to see the outside world is through dreams, which in his opinion have become stolid and predictable. He cannot deter from his duties, even if he tried, but he desires something new and unpredictable, or a way to see something new and unexpected.

Likes & Dislikes

Walking through the dreams of others causes the protector of the Archive to live the dreams as if he is experiencing them firsthand. Therefore, he naturally likes pleasant, happy dreams. Dreams of children are a particular joy of his, as they tend to be full of positivity and impossibility. He's found that there are certain people or groups that are responsible for causing bad dreams, that he's grown to have utter disdain for. He has no power to stop it, but those who repeatedly cause trauma and nightmares have his eternal ire, as their victims tend to relive the trauma again and again.

The Sleep Walker isn't especially fond of Elves, who commonly use meditation as a means to forego sleep, giving him less dreams that he gets to live through.
