The Mimsy


Born of the most creative dreams and imaginings, the Mimsy are the personification of dreams and are natives of the world of sleep, Nocturne. While in their realm they are magnificent and jester-like beings, clad in campy and ostentatious outfits. Everything in Nocturne is theatrical, as their realm is the theater of dreams. However, things get complicated when not in their home plane of Nocturne. Usually, the reason for Mimsy venturing into the waking world is to act on the desire to seek out the being that dreamt them into reality, their creator. As dreams, though, Mimsy cannot exist in the waking world, so they must take on a specific form, that of a small stuffed animal-like creature.
