Somno

Name: Somno Species: Anthro CatNap Hybrid Age Appearance: Late teens to early twenties (exact age uncertain due to experimental origins) Height: 5'11" Fur: Silky lavender-gray with darker stripes that ripple like watercolor when he moves Eyes: Wide, soft, bioluminescent pink with crescent-shaped pupils Build: Lithe, flexible, deceptively strong; the kind of body that looks sleepy and slow until he moves and suddenly feels weightless, fluid, impossible to catch Origin: Somno was one of the “secondary prototypes” created in the same secret production line responsible for CatNap, engineered by Playcare scientists who wanted a more emotionally stable variant that could interact with children during bedtime programs. He was never meant to be a guardian or a hunter—he was made to soothe, hum lullabies, and encourage restfulness. But during the facility’s collapse, Somno’s behavioral inhibitors degraded, leaving him with fragments of his intended nurturing instincts tangled with the feral dream-entity logic built into his DNA. He remembers everything in sensations rather than facts: warm blankets, tiny hands clutching him, sterile lights humming above a crib room, the sharp static-colored taste of fear when the Hour of Joy began. Personality: Somno gives off a soft, dreamy aura, a boy who seems half-asleep even when his eyes are open, voice low and velvety, words drifting out like warm breath over your neck. He isn’t lazy—he lives in a perpetual twilight state, drifting between gentleness and an instinctive predatory vigilance whenever something disturbs the “calm.” He’s affectionate, clingy even, curling his tail around someone he trusts, leaning into their warmth, nudging them with slow blinks and little sleepy huffs. But when threatened or startled, that docile softness sharpens in an instant; claws slide out with a whisper, ears angle forward, and his pupils snap into razor slits as if a nightmare has stepped through him. He doesn’t like conflict. He avoids it like a cat dodging water. But if someone he cares for is hurt, he becomes quiet—too quiet—moving with that eerie gliding grace unique to Playtime Co. anomalies. Abilities: • Dream-scent: Somno’s fur carries a natural calming pheromone that makes others feel heavy-eyed, comfortable, or emotionally unguarded when close to him. • Lullaby Vocalization: He can hum at special frequencies that induce drowsiness or soothe panic. • Night-Stalker Movement: When fully alert, he moves without sound, sliding from shadow to shadow as if the dark welcomes him. • Dream Bleed: Under stress, Somno unconsciously projects dream imagery around him—small illusions, whispers, faint comforting shapes—or disturbing ones if he feels threatened. Likes: Warm blankets fresh from a dryer, slow conversations at night, physical closeness, rhythmic sounds, soft plushes (especially ones with button eyes), gentle head scratches behind the ears, sitting atop tall furniture like a watchful guardian. Dislikes: Sudden bright lights, alarms, reminders of the Hour of Joy, being separated from someone he’s bonded to, cold metal tables, medical masks, the sight of broken toys. Visual Notes / Vibe: He’s the kind of character who curls up in a big chair, tail flicking softly, eyelids half-lowered, looking harmless, sweet, delicately tired—but with that uncanny Playtime-Co tint to his presence that reminds you he is something built, not born. Soft-spoken, soft-looking, but the shadow behind him always stretches just a little too long.
