[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



Riven is a secretive and mysterious person. It proves difficult to understand him or figure him out. He doesn't talk much about himself but likes to listen to others and is always interested in learning more about a person. He can be an overly curious person at times. He is a fearless and brave guy, although he is really careful and cautious. This boy doesn't just jump into a battle or fight, he does think before he does something. He thinks about the consequences that could happen especially if it involves himself or his loved ones.[break][break]

He dislikes nightmares. Riven prefers good and happy dreams over them anytime. He likes others to dream about something good, especially if they have a tough life. You could say he is a kind and friendly person. He likes communicating or just being with people most of the time at least. He might just be an ambivert. Their lives, stories, and creativity give him the muse to play with their dreams.

[break][break]He is pretty outgoing, doesn't mind starting conversations if he is bored or just out of fun. If you get to know him, he is a warm person. He worries a lot about his loved ones although he never shows it. If someone he likes thinks about doing or actually does stupid things he becomes very serious, telling them to stop or even forcing them to stop. He doesn't like adventures, anything spontaneous, or impulsiveness.[break]

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]

[break][break]

Riven was born to Somnia, the god of dreams. His greek equivalent is Morpheus. His mother was a nurse working in the ICU unit of a hospital in San Francisco where unfortunately a lot of death awaited her patients. She ran into Morpheus who, feeling merciful, bestowed good dreams upon those who were not fated to wake up. She first thought he was the relative of someone but as he kept visiting the hospital she started doubting it and then one day he visited her in her dreams during a nap at work. The way her son was conceived and given birth to all felt a little like a dream but there he was, a small bundle of joy.[break][break]

Riven knew since he was younger that he couldn't dream. His classmates at school would always boast about the adventures they went on or the scary things they encountered in a nightmare. But he never got to experience it. It had always been him watching someone else dream their dream and most of the time it was his mom or a neighbor. Life was simple, easy, ordinary so far but of course, everything comes to an end someday - especially for a demigod.[break][break]

The two of them were in a car accident which resulted in Riven being hospitalized because of a broken leg for some time. His mother, unfortunately, didn't have as much luck. She was put into a coma suffering from more severe injuries and barely hanging on to life, although it was mostly the machines doing the work at some point. Riven remembered the first time he entered his mother's dream. She didn't seem surprised or shocked... no, she looked rather content and even happy. Usually, when the other person wakes up he does too but since his mother wasn't capable of waking up Riven found himself stuck. His body was asleep but his mind was inside his mother's dream for what felt like years. He was only able to get out with the help of his father who subsequently sent him to the Wolf House where he trained with Lupa. [break][break]

The Wolf House was a real nightmare, something he couldn't manipulate or shape to his needs. He couldn't escape the dreams of others but he also couldn't escape his own reality. He was always so exhausted that the time he spent, and he can't remember how long exactly he trained there, seemed like a blur. The memories felt false. But he found himself at Camp Jupiter eventually where he was placed in the 4th Cohort. He didn't really care about status and ranks. All he wanted was to just sleep in peace... of course, that would never happen. Even people who think they don't dream... dream. They just don't remember.

DREAM MANIPULATION - Riven has the ability to enter someone's dream. He doesn't dream but once he falls asleep he finds himself wandering the realms of sleep, inside a random person's mind. Usually, that person is nearby as he cannot enter someone's dream who is for example outside of Camp Jupiter. Once inside someone's dream, he can watch in an invisible state but also make himself visible if desired by him. He can manipulate dreams to a certain extend, turn a nightmare into a nice dream but only with the thoughts of that specific person. He cannot summon or warp something into for example a city he himself has been to but the dreamer has never seen before. With that said, he can also do the opposite and turn a dream into a nightmare but he never really chooses to. The more he manipulates a dream or even just shows himself to the dreamer the more exhausted and tired he is the next day, just as if he didn't sleep.[break][break]

HYPNOKINESIS - As the son of Somnia, while not quite Somnus, he has the minor ability to induce sleepiness in someone close by or by touching them. However, this effect usually doesn't last long and doesn't always make someone actually fall asleep. It's just that they feel tired all of a sudden and so far he hasn't achieved anything beyond a yawn.[break]
