█ BACKGROUND ▬ Zander was born the oldest of three. With two younger sisters and a large, beautiful farm to run about, you'd think he'd have many fond tales to share. Now, while the man might look back on those memories with a smirk upon his lips, most would be appalled. Zander spent the majority of his childhood tormenting his younger sister. Not in the fun, sibling rivalry type of way, but rather something much darker. Ridley was no fool, she caught onto his dark nature right away. She saw right through the charming smile that caused most to swoon. Perhaps that's why he'd always despised her so much. Perhaps that's what caused him to torment her endlessly. Or, perhaps it was simply the fact that she shone so brightly it hurt his eyes. It was a fire he wanted nothing more than to distinguish, but the brat was stubborn, and while he knew she was secretly terrified of him, she never backed down. Eventually he grew bored of that tiresome life, of that same old routine. He left home shortly after their mother died, and while he never went back, he kept tabs on his sisters. Right up to Ayven's death and Ridley's multiple near death experiences. It pleased him more than words can describe to have seen her in such a dark place, that flame so dim it barely flickered, but it angered him even more so to see her bounce back with all the force of the sun. He kept tabs on her as she trained to be a huntress, though she wasn't his only concern. In his evil schemes he'd happened upon a man named Zaffre, and while he couldn't truly be controlled by anyone, joining his team benefited him just as well. So he carried out his orders, much to happy to bring pain to the world. and anyone inhabiting it. That is, until he received a letter from Beacon Academy, informing his sister had fallen into a coma. It was then that he decided to make a trip to the school. He visited her while she was sleeping, twisted her dreams into nightmares, and when she eventually awoke, he planted the seeds of fear and paranoia. He watched her unravel and reveled in the turmoil he could cause, simply biding his time until the right moment to strike came along.

█ *DESCRIPTION
█ ▬ Zander's semblance revolves around fear, while he can do nothing to increase or decrease one's fear, he can sense one's deepest and most primal fears. He can then create powerful illusions of these fears.
█ *LEVEL 0 ▬ (0--99) In this level, Zander is simply able to create nightmares within a person's mind while they are sleeping. These nightmares are extremely vivid and the fear they cause might follow a person into the waking world. He can only effect one person at a time and he can only use his semblance for 5 posts before needing a 10 post cool down.
█ *LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts) In this level, Zander is able to bring his nightmares to life. However, he can only sense the fears and create illusions for 1 person at a time.

It also will not physically damage a person and while it might act as a sufficient distraction, his enemies are able to fight the illusions. If a person is able to calm themselves enough and lower their heart rate, the illusions will break. Lastly, if he ever pushes himself too far and drains his aura completely, the nightmares will backlash on him. He will fall into an eternal slumber haunted by his own fears.
