Dreamers

Dreamers are human-sized creatures with several different forms that can be observed throughout Fathom. Dreamers carry souls in their bodies and are thought to be highly intelligent, but are unable to communicate.

Dreamers have no facial features, and do not need to eat or drink. They spend approximately half their time sleeping, and the other half traveling to whatever new places they can reach. Older dreamers sleep longer and longer than younger dreamers. In their waking lives and especially during rest, dreamers dream hyperactively. They have no other goal or purpose than to travel and seek new inspiration, then to work on it and spin it into more fantastical dreams during their sleep.

Dreamers take on different colors depending on the emotions they have been feeling and the emotions they have confronted in their life. For example, some dreamers are kept captive in one area, for amusement, energy production or other uses. These unfortunate individuals often become darker and darker over time until reaching obsidian black. Even in perilous conditions, a dreamer has never been seen to die of natural causes nor disease, only becoming still when killed by another. There are reports of red dreamers attacking one another, but apart from these isolated events, dreamers are considered peaceful and completely passive.

Subtypes
Dreamers come in every color of the rainbow. Dreamers are rarely a solid color, typically being composed of several colors spread out across the body in shapes resembling ink splotches. The more dominant a color, the more it is reflected in the dreamer's dreams and behaviors.
