Alkondoion is an Ethereal from The Napping Cat's Dream. His Ethereal siblings include the likes of Skrai, Nanas and Mortis. Since he escaped the destruction of the Dream, Alkondoion has wandered the Multiverse, gaining experiences of life that even he had never thought possible. He mostly travelled alone until he met Lysander, who asked for Alkondoion's help in constructing the Schola Borealis. He joined the teaching staff, lecturing in Sophomancy. However he did loose his memory in the past, having learnt his origins as an Ethereal sometime later. He still struggles with the concept and has yet to meet another Ethereal being since the loss of his memory. He is a private man, valuing solitude and yet he believes in the wealth of knowledge when passed onto others, hence his teaching role. He values intelligent friendship, selecting those he socialises with deliberately.

Species
Ethereal
- Main article: Ethereal
The Ethereals are beings without a self-given signifier but are called by many names by those that encounter them, most commonly the Light or Darks and the Dreams and Nightmares. Despite this, the Ethereals are not necessary good or evil. Split into two opposing sides, the Lights have ruled over the Ethereals' homeworld for the longest part and the Darks have constantly sought to rise up again and turn The Napping Cat's Dream into The Napping Cat's Nightmare, having only succeeded once in the past. Each of the Ethereals has an orb to house their essence, however they must inhabit a vessel if they wish to remain in touch with the physical world around them. Each of them has their own unique power, as well as being incredibly fast.
Homeworld
The Napping Cat's Dream
- Main article: The Napping Cat's Dream
The Napping Cat's Dream was a world said to exist within the dreams of a cat, earning its namesake. However the true and exact nature of the Dream has always been unknown due to its ever-changing landscape, setting and the steady influx of beings from across the Multiverse. The Napping Cat's Dream is less of a world than a mix-up of many different worlds meshed together into an existence where time and space have been warped. There are few natives of The Napping Cat's Dream, though one is known as Ethereal. The Dream is now an extinct universe.
Characteristics
Personality
Alkondoion is a man that values solitude and enjoys his own company. He dislikes those that are loud and those that are stupid. He seeks intelligent conversation and therefore selects his friends very deliberately. He surrounds himself with books, reading for pleasure. He also has a very clear-cut sense of "right and wrong", though his views on them may differ from others'. He believes in justice and punishment for crimes committed, not offering forgiveness often. The fact that he lost his memory may have shaped his desire for solitude, as might his powers. He has a degree of OCD, obsessing over the tidiness of his surroundings.
Powers
Ethereal Powers
- Main article: Ethereal
All Ethereals are capable of incredible speeds and agility. In reality this is a mild manipulation of time, slowing it down so that they may pass through it much faster, creating the illusion to others of super-speed and agility. This time flux cannot be used whilst performing any other major action and they must re-enter normal time to perform something like an attack.
However beyond this time flux ability, each Ethereal has their own unique special power. This varies from creature creation to advanced mind powers to pocket world creation.
They also retain any abilities that their host body had. If a host had powers over flame, then the inhabiting Ethereal would be able to also control fire in the same way. Unfortunately the Ethereal would not have the training that the original host had and would have to learn to control these powers should they deem them useful. The body will, however, have some reflex memory, which will make the learning much faster than it would usually have been.
Being an ethereal spirit, the Ethereals require a tether to the real world and use the pocket dimensions contained within their orbs to house in until a new body comes along. They can only exist in something that has this kind of 'depth', such as a sentient mind. They could not take an animal mind or reside in an object without a pocket dimension within. Once within these pocket worlds, however, the Ethereal must be released via the touch of a new host body.
Alkondoion's Powers
Alkondoion specifically has an incredible level of telekinesis, quite beyond many considered 'powerful' in the art. He is able to move the very stars. He can manipulate his own body with telekinesis, allowing himself to 'fly' or 'walk on water'. He will often use this power without major conscious effort, manipulating the world around him on a regular basis. He does have levels of psychic power and a 'sixth sense', however it doesn't compare to his ability with telekinesis.
Story Line
Initial Existence
The Ethereals began to exist. Time is an unusual quantity in the Napping Cat's Dream and so none can say if there is a time when they didn't exist. However, time can be seen to pass as the Ethereals changed. In the beginning they were all amiable with one another, learning about life and the worlds that connected to their own. Fenris, an Ethereal whose power was to create pocket worlds, designed the orbs, which allowed bodiless Ethereals to retire into. It was these orbs that allowed the Ethereals to survive countless deaths, including Alkondoion himself.
Alkondoion never appreciated the arrival of outsiders to the Dream. He believed that they ought not to remain but "pass through". Yet many weren't able to leave, many wanted to remain in the Dream. Alkondoion, who had only ever valued the company of his fellow Ethereals, began to become a recluse and shy away from the outside world. Despite disliking the presence of those from across the Multiverse, Alkondoion savoured their knowledge and books and experiences, reading and learning much about the universes that existed "out there".
