Basic Questions:
-Why should there be Endless items on Gaia?
First, Gaia is a multi-cultural website that incorporates many different fandoms, entertainment, and cultural fads into its avatar items. Items such as the steel-plated ninja head band are aimed toward people who like Naruto, the Phantom Death Masque is specified for Phantom of the Opera phans, and the doll ears are aimed at Chobits fans. The list goes on, so considering how popular the cultural hit The Sandman was it is odd not to have these items on Gaia. Also, they would appeal to many people, not just the fans.
-Who would they appeal to beside the fans?
Because The Endless are characters so diverse and uniquely symbolized, a large variety of cool looking items can be made. More on what those can be are further down in the post and will be explained individually under the categories and item descriptions.
-Why not just have one or two items, why have all seven members get their own items?
It would be fine if just one or two would get an item, but The Endless are a related group and should really stick together. The variety they offer to different people and representations would make a complete set possible. The more items, the better.
-What about the items that fit your categories but are already available as poses in EI's or MC's?
This is a petition for STORE BASD ITEMS. The items on the list will STAY until something is offered as a gold item. It is not fair for any user to have to pay real money (or crazy amount of gold) for an item when they want only a single pose offered, such as Gimpi's different colored eyes. That is not what we are asking for. We want items, even if they are 20k+, available to users in the regular gold shops.
!!!WARNING! THE FOLLOWING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS TO THE SERIES!!!
Item Ideas:
The item ideas are being separated by character. Let's start with Dream, shall we?
Dream, or Morpheus, of The Endless if the anthropomorphic personification of dream. Or, in more simple terms, he is the concept of dreaming in a physical form that appears different from time to time. His main items are:
His Helmet.
Its a gas-mask like helm that offers protection, looking as though a long spine drapes down from it. Its large eye pieces give it an alien feel, a terribly delightful fantasy.
Why it would be good for any member of Gaia: Gasmasks are really cool items, many users enjoy them. This is a unique gas mask that has a very creepy feel to it, the spine aspect would gain a lot of popularity. Its unique shape could be fitted to the avatar and add a lot of diversity.
His Ruby.
Its a ruby on a chain. It contained Morpheus's power at one point, with magical aspects and controls people's dreams. Can cause manipulate of the subconscious. The item can be used as a necklace, have a glowing option, and option to dangle by hand with or without glowing, and so on.
Why it would be good for any member of Gaia: Its a ruby on a chain, its non-fandom specific. It could be used as a magic item, even apply to Fullmetal Alchemist fans as the sorcerer's stone. In any case, you can use it for many purposes.
His sand pouch.
Its a tan pouch containing the grains of sand that cause sleep, or ability to manipulate dreams. It holds great power and cause great disaster if used wrong. The item can be a pouch leaking (or not leaking) sand and can be held by the avatar in a variety of ways. It could even trail out from the bag, glittering like...glitter...and swirl around the avatar.
Why this would appeal to any member: It can add awesome effects to the avatar, especially the swirling glitter sand. Aside from fans, it has multiple fantasy uses as well.
His cape.
Yes, there cape items on Gaia. However, none of them are as floating, wind-taken, as his. Ina better picture, it can even be seen that on the INSIDE of the cape faint images of dreams are shifting and changes. Splashes of colors and shapes, constantly changing and appealing... This would be a lovely effect that no other capes on Gaia have. Why it would appeal to other members: A cape with an ever changing image inside would capture fantasy and add great avatar effects like many of the items. Also, its extremely different and can be manipulated as an item. its a cape of dreams, the possibilities are great.
His eyes.
Dreams eyes are deep dark shadows that occasionally glint a strange light from them. They have no pupils, just darkness and shadows. The item could consist os two poses, one where the contacts are pure blackness and the second where they glint red like the above picture. Why this item would appeal to all Gaia users: There are no pupil-less eye items on Gaia. Also, shadow eyes would go nicely with many items sets. They could be used for almost anything.
Delirium is next.
Delirium of The Endless is the physical manifestation of, well, delirium. Insanity, so to take, and hallucination are her specialty. Delirum of the youngest of the endless, usually looking about 14 and her appearance is the one that changes the most out of all of them. One eye is green and the other is blue, her hair changes all sorts of colors and styles from panel to panel. Her main items are:
Her hair.
Delirium's hair changes often, but typically is made up of rainbow colors and as mix between long and short. It is the most diverse hair you will ever find, with the most variety and creativity. The hair item could be a wig that has several options including rainbow long, rainbow half-long and half-short, fuzzy short boy cut orange, fuzzy short cut blond, fuzzy short cut rainbow, and many others as seen in the above picture. Her hair is so interchangeable it has become one of her trademarks.
Why it would be an item appealing to all Gaians: Petitions have been made for along time about different sorts of hair, including rainbow. This would satisfy both The Sandman fans AND Gaians who want a special hair item. A wig would be best, in this case, which is also an item that many users have been craving for. It should be expected to be pricy, however, with all its options.
Her Eyes.
Delirium's eyes are something that also have been wanted for a long time, mismatch colors. The right eye is green and the left eye is blue. The item can be in a set of contacts, which also have been requested by users but have only come in the form of Monthly Collectables and not available to a large population of Gaians. The set can include multiple combinations of colors, shapes, and so on and be available in the shops at a fair price.
Why this item would appeal to all Gaians: It has been requested many, many, times. Different color eyes are largely wanted, as are contacts. It would fuel as a huge gold sink, add a great appeal to an avatar, and allow better combination possibilities with outfits.
Her Fish Balloon.
Its a fish attached to a string like a balloon. Does it need any more explanation?
Why it would appeal to all Gaians: The item would definitely be different, wacky, and funny. If Gaia wanted to, it could have a series of animals that are attached to strings and please other factions of the population. It'd be fun to have.
Her clothing.
Delirium's outfit changes a lot like the rest of her, but a certain pattern is followed. Many of the times, she has fishnet and mismatched colors for shoes and a long coat with nothing underneath. Gaia might have fishnet, but for female avatars the bra stays on unlike her lack of one. Also, sometimes one sleeve is fishnet and the other is not there. The coat should also be able to be warn for Gaia female users without the bra.
Why it wold be appealing to all Gaia users: The strange clothing layers would add a lot of fun and style to what already exists. Also, different color or styled shoes on each foot would be a great addition to any avatar.
Next is
Destiny.
Destiny of The Endless is what his name implies, he is destiny. The book he is chained to holds everything that will happen, has happened, or might happen, unflawed. He is the one who takes his duties most seriously among The Endless. His main items are:
The Chained Book.
Destiny's book is chained from the spine to his wrist, forever. An item like this would be simple, with emphasis on the chain. Gaia may have books, but none that are chain-attached to your wrist. Different poses could include longer chains and ways to hold the book, open or closed, at your side, or in front.
The shadow face.
Destiny's face is NEVER shown due to heavy shadows. The monk's robe on Gaia adds a shadow, but the eyes are still visible. Having an item that adds a shadow of two options, light and dark, over the face would be good for representing this member of The Endless.
Why it would appeal to all Gaia users: The shadow over the face is seen a lot in anime, or comic books, and many users enjoy that genre of entertainment. Having an item that is a shadow of its own right would be fun to equip to avatars without the monk robe.
The next is
Death.
Death is not a skeleton man in a long dark robe, carrying a sickle. No, Death of The Endless is a perky gothic woman with a great sense of humor and chipper grin. She is the big sister to Dream.
Her silver Ahnk.
No matter what era or form Death takes on, she always has this necklace. Its a silver necklace using the ancient Egyptian symbol for death. The item currently on Gaia is too large and golden,with no other colors available.
Why this appeal to all Gaia users: Variety. Gaia users love variety and colors to choose from, but the golden Ahnk doesn't offer that at all. A small, silver ahnk would be better and represent death much easier.
Her make up.
The heavy eye liner, mascara, and swirls around the eyes are trademark. She also has black lipstick, common to goth culture. The items could be just that, as Gaia lacks make up.
Why it would appeal to all users: Petitions have also been going around for mascara and more makeup, which is hugely lacking. Black lipstick is nothing new and neither is eye make-up. Many avatars aim for a gothic look and it would help greatly if this item was around.
Next is
Despair.
[CAN'T FIND A FULL BODY PICTURE CURRENTLY THAT IS NOT FANART, NEED SCANS]
Despair of The Endless is the anthropomorphic personification of her name, like the rest of the siblings are. SHe is the twin of Desire. Her body shape and appearance is completely unique compared to the others, especially with consideration to the fact that she has no clothes. Because of her lack of clothes, items for this one will be limited but should be made as representation.
Her body.
Its impossible to have a despair avatar without her body. Her pale, hunched over, plumpy roundness is a representation of her in itself. The closest thing to her body on Gaia is the sumo wrestler outfit and, quite frankly, that just doesn't cut it. Something more grotesque and defining is needed, of correct skin tone too.
Why it would be appealing to all Gaia users: Let's face it, plenty of users have been wanting more diverse bodies. There is no option of body type, but having an item that can change that would add flair and difference. Like the item that makes the avatar look like a cat, or the masterpiece item that gives you the texture of The David. Something to transform the body, would be great and entirely unique. Aside from Sandman fans, it even looks gargogyle-ish. The creepy, daunting, form of the item could be easily manipulated.
Her ring hook.
The hooked ring is essentially Despair's sigil. While Gaia has issues with rings because of the lack of very well established hands, if the artist crafted it carefully it would work. It would be a brass ring with a hook on the end, a hauntingly wonderful item.
Why it would appeal to all Gaia users: Its a hook attached to a ring, it has a great aspect of horror to it. Think of all the psychotic looking avatars, usually holding swords or some other traditional weapon. There is just something eerie about hooks on the fingers, more villain like and sadistic than anything else. Also, there aren't many items like it which would add appeal.
Her body rats.
Despair has been seen many times with rats, crawling around her and on her. The vermin wallow in despair and are drawn to her essence. The item could be a bunch of rats next to the avatar, but more importantly there should an option to have them crawl over your body.
Why it would appeal to all Gaia users: Its very different in itself as an item, having no direction affiliation to the series at all and would be able to be applied to many things. Rats all over the body of an avatar would be creepy, perfect for Despair.
Next is
Desire.
Desire of The Endless is Despair's twin, the brother-sister of the group. Often found as the schemer, Desire is truly malicious and considers the consequence of nothing. Changing from one gender to another, s/he is usually definable by its facial features and hair. Desire can be made with little problems using current Gaia items.
His/Her Skin Tone.
Desire is, like several of her/his siblings, very pale. The skin tone is one thing that never changes with his/her appearance. Why this item would be good for all Gaia users: More variety, the skin tones need to be spiced up. Its just a non-fandom specific color.
{More items may be added for Desire if the thought occurs or if there is suggestion, but as of now it is possible to make an avatar for her/him.}
Next is
Destruction.
Destruction is the member of the Endless who embodies what his name implies, yet is the gentilest and most understanding of them all. He left his duties and ran from his family in order to retain his solitude, found over 300 years later by Delirium who managed to get Dream to accompany her on the trip. Most of the siblings have a fondness for him, but respect his desire to have left the Endless. Although no other aspect of destruction has replaced him, yet, he does not make part of his responsibilities believing that destruction will come no matter what.
His run-away stick.
Destruction is almost always associated with his classic running-away-from-home-stick. The branch slung over his shoulder containing the few possessions he owns is taken on him during his travels as he explores the world away from his realm. Why it would be good for all Gaia users: Its not fandom-specific and can be used for many purposes. This classic symbol for runaways can be used to almost limitless possibilities.
His chest hair.
Gaia has facial hair, but what about chest hair? Destruction is portrayed as a burly traditional man, his chest hair often portrayed through a popped-open open shirt or another means. Why this item is good for all Gaia users: Chest hair is a natural thing for men to have, neither obscene or insane to think of having on a body. It just helps classify further avatar aspects and has not relation to the Sandman directly at all.
His art easel.
Destruction has a love for art and in one of his first key scenes he is seen with Barnabas, his sort-of-but-entirely-a-dog dog, painting his surroundings. A down to earth guy, in tune with nature and his surroundings, Destruction has a fondness for art. Why it would be good for all Gaia users: Its an art easel. Surely the paints and the stand would add character to a community that loves art and the avatars so much. It has no direction relation to the series again, but is needed for better/more avatar options.
But WAIT! There's more:
Goldie.
No, Goldie is not a memeber of the Endless. What is it? Goldie is a baby gargoyle found often in the series, raised by Can and Abel in the dreamworld. Its adorable, quirky, and would make a great pet for any Gaia user!
User Item Suggestions:
Neriad13
I sign.
Another possible item for Dream, I think, would be his hair. I've been trying to make a Dream tektek recently but honestly cannot get the hair right at all.
Naristar
It would also be neat if they had like a background item
Dream: His house
Death: like some random street
Destiny: his garden
Despair: fog
Delirium: crazy swirling colors or maby candy
Desire:A bed or roses
and Destruction: a path in the woods
Or maybe like the items they use to summon eachother
(sorry I don't know all of them)PinkieKitty
Oh my god... the Sandman...
Signed absolutely one billion percent. If we can get past the copyright laws... Damn copyrights... Then I would LOVE Death and Delirium items. I would kill someone to have Death items.
I like how instead of the actual items (again, damn copyrights) it's very similar. You should also have Barnabas, since Matthew is already an item in the Summoning Tome.
You know what item you should have? Cornithian eyes. They would look amazing. Or maybe having Dream as a cat next to you.
CORINTHIAN EYES=Eye Sockets with teeth. Need I say more? That suggestion was an epic win.
