CORAL REEVE: Welcome back to Superhero Scoop! Today we're taking a look at one of the most mysterious Supers currently known, the dreaded Dreamwalker! I have in the studio with me today an expert on psychic Supers, the one and only Glitz! Welcome!

GLITZ: Thanks, Coral. As always, it's a singular pleasure. And may I say you're looking lovely today?

CR: You always say that, you flatterer!

G: Well it's always true.

CR: [giggles] Alright, so what can you tell us about the Dreamwalker?

G: Not as much as I'd like. He's definitely male, and has a very targeted power. I also suspect, despite the utterly generic mask he usually presents in, that he is an anthro of some sort, making him a bit of an anomaly.

CR: Ah, because he has a unique power?

G: Exactly. As I'm sure you know, anthros usually have easily-classified 'stock' powers, such as flight, speed, strength, that sort of thing. This has led quite a few people to believe that the Dreamwalker is a human, but I didn't get that sense from him.

CR: Getting back to the initial point, you're saying you don't know that much about him?

G: No, I don't. Not insofar as his identity is concerned. But I can tell you a little about his personality. The Dreamwalker is a classic narcissist and sadist, deriving pleasure from making others suffer and revelling in the power that he has to do so. But under the mask, I think he's insecure and feels 'small' in real life. It's very much the same as any playground bully. He'll use the power he does have to distract himself from the times where he doesn't have power or control.

CR: So can you offer our viewers any tips on how to deal with him?

G: Well, someone being 'visited' by the Dreamwalker can take advantage of two things: first, his abilities necessarily put his host in an altered but technically lucid state of dreaming - the person won't have control, but they'll be consciously aware they're dreaming. Second, he gets bored very easily. It's actually best to try and ignore him until he gets tired of you not reacting. He'll bugger off if he can't have his 'fun'.

CR: Good to know! Thanks again for joining us, Glitz.

G: Always a treat, Coral.

CR: Next up, is your child in danger of being a Demon? We'll talk to a metagene expert about possible warning signs!

Quick character reference for one of my RP characters. Normally I only pull out DW when I'm in an 'insufferable prick' mood.
