DREAM POWERS:
Every character has "dream" abilities specific to them, perhaps reflecting their abilities in canon. They could be offensive or defensive, or just plan stupid. But they reflect the character's personality, hopes, and regular dreams.
The two "protagonist" characters have additional abilities.
Karkat Vantas: DREAM SHARING. Karkat's is the ability to pull people into his dreams, and pull things out of them. Unfortunately this means that while this power is essential in defeating the Big Bad, it can draw a lot of casualities. It's not an exact science and there's very little control over it.
Gamzee Makara: DREAM CONTROL. Gamzee can lucid dream. He can control the situation. His powers are essentially exactly the same as The Grand Highblood's.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY DIE?
Characters who die are trapped within The Grand Highblood's nightmare realms. These realms can be anything from a Silent Hill Dark World-esque version of a beloved space to full on torture. Characters can reach each other and continue to fight for their sanity within them.
RANDOM FACTS
The Pre-scratch ancestors (other than Meenah and Aranea) were killed by The Grand Highblood, including his older child. Gamzee is The Grand Highblood's younger son! He was only like a year old when everything went down.
Aranea, Meenah, Dirk, Roxy and Jane have some memory of the younger trolls vanishing as they lived on the same street and were friends, possibly worse if we're going with the GHB creeping on the kids and threatening them prior to kidnapping and murder. Regardless, some are nosing into events and others are just trying to forget.
