Previously known as Ensio Unak. A somber, shy and elusive individual that better expresses himself through poetry and song. One's past is shrouded in mystery, tragedy and his own amnesia, but hinted to hold an incredible power that not even he is aware of. One has devoted his entirety to Sleep through blood sacrifice in an attempt to skew Her attention from the vessels to himself, but whether that was successful or not has yet to be known.
Vessels have been made recently aware that One has suffered Lunar Exaltation before the world was destroyed: An ascension, from mortal to more, and a beacon of power that remains the reason why Sleep seeks to claim him.
As of JULY 2026, it has been revealed that One's Lunar Exaltation was caused by coming in contact with an artifact called the Lunar Seed beneath the Hudson River. Their almost parasitic fusion caused the split of One's psyche, a major magical explosion (That led to The Fall), and formed The Murmur. One had since lost his memory of his old life, became spiritually incomplete as well as caused humanity to either become Hosts or Vessels through the burst of his uncontrollable power.
Previously known as Malachy Twain. Not much is known about the Numeral Two, other than he is an expressive and unburdened Token, mute but not idle. He was very close to One before being thrown into a voided plane of existence by Sleep's hand, and scattered into fragments. Espera claims he is essential to returning One to his senses and putting an end to Sleep's plan.
With his fragments found, Two would communicate through lights and electricity, but lacked a physical body. AS OF AUGUST 2026, he has gained his physical body back through a ritual that vessels helped participate in.
Previously known as Tracey Pratt. An impish Offering of the Trickster variant, the Numeral Three has a playful disposition and colorful means of expression. Rather chaotic but not malicious, he takes the form of three-eyed corvids, cacatuas, and foxes with frequency, while answering riddles fuels his permanance for brief bursts. His connection with the Waking World is stronger than Two's, but in no less need of mending.
His appearances were once unreliable; He would be seen in shared dreams or when he has enough power to solidify from the Void's realm. AS OF AUGUST 2026, he has gained his physical body back through a ritual that vessels helped participate in.
Previously known as Clover Pratt. The first Numeral to vanish and the last to be found. Not much is known about Four, other than having a very strong connection with Three.
Currently missing, but Two has confirmed that there are traces of his presence in the Hudson River.
A manipulative enigma with grand presence and power within The Murmur that rivals that of a god, and many already treat Her as such. She is everywhere and nowhere at once. Call to her, and she may answer you. She may even treat you, if you treat her, but be prepared to sacrifice. Painful offerings and loyalty are her favorite gifts of devotion (She's also a hopeless romantic).
The Numerals and Espera seem to despise Her, and One is inexplicably bound to Her. What Sleep has disclosed about Her intentions seem quite simple: Collect more Vessels to host Her power, expand past the Earth She's tied to, and deliver them all from loneliness and prolonged suffering to a divine eutopia only She can create. For that, She needs One.
As of JULY 2026, it has been revealed that Sleep was formed by the merging of One's Shadow, his Anima, and a girl named Evie Zevan, his late love before the Fall.
The Lunar Seed is an extraterrestrial lifeform of unknown origin that exists as both a living organism and an immense source of supernatural power. When it comes into contact with another living beingโparticularly a humanโit induces a phenomenon known as Lunar Exaltation, radically altering its host. Those affected gain god-like abilities alongside a supernatural manifestation of their deepest desires, with reality itself reshaping to reflect the host's subconscious.
After drowning in the Hudson River, Ensio Unak came into contact with the Lunar Seed and became its host. However, he was unable to withstand the entity's overwhelming power. In order to accommodate the Seed, his psyche fractured, splitting away his shadow self and leaving him fundamentally incomplete. His memories were erased in the process, and he emerged as the being known only as One.
The relationship between the Lunar Seed and its host is ultimately symbiotic, but it begins as something parasitic. It invades, consumes, and reshapes its host before reaching equilibrium, permanently altering both body and mind. This influence manifests as mold, fungal growths, parasitic organisms, and other invasive lifeforms. These are not merely signs of infection, but physical reflections of One's own fractured existence, with the Seed continuously expressing the broken state of the mind it inhabits.
Revealed to be Nymphai, The Espera were birthed from One's exaltation and were meant to guide him on his journey from mortal to more before being barred by Sleep. She, (or they), is (are) a singular entity of three bodies, which were missing in a similar manner to the Numerals.
AS OF AUGUST 2026, she is now able to manifest in two bodies.
First encountered during the Jaws dream event, Nightmares are familiars meant to aid Vessels through travel and companionship. Formerly formed of shadow and mist, they would solidify enough to be touched and ridden in the base form of a horse.
Within the Interstice, Nightmares have changed their base appearances from misty horses to amorphous, sentient balls of slime. Over time, Nightmares will develop stronger, distinct personalities shaped by their bond with their Vessel, reflecting emotional resonance between the two. After a month of presence, a Nightmare may take the form of an animal that represents its Vessel; they may solidify enough to be touched, bring items, be ridden and even shield or defend their Vessels. During their first month of adaption, they may be allowed to switch and test different forms until they find their primary animal form.
