Powers:

Dream Vampirism: Vivienne's Mistress Midnight persona wields a curious variant of the Life Drain power. Essentially a form of the psychic vampirism stunt, it allows her to, on touch, drain the dream images from a body's mind. This requires an easy dream vampirism action, opposed by the Willpower of her would-be target. She wields this power at intensity 11.

As such, if she succeeds in her attack, her target will lose an amount of Willpower points equal to Midnight's total action score, minus his current Willpower total. Now, each exchange after this, the target will recover one lost Willpower point if he can make a positive aura reading as the exchange begins, unless he was brought to zero Willpower points by this attack.

If this happens, the target may die unless Midnight ceases her vampiric attack. Now, if her victim survives (which is likely, as Midnight doesn't necessarily like killing people), he will simply lie comatose for a couple of days, and once he regains consciousness, he will be mostly okay, though he'll sort of lack innovative thought processes for about a week.

This is just a curious side effect of the dream vampirism process, and it's only temporary in nature...

Cybernetics:

Bio-Monitors: installed by his henchmen, these sensors allow Doctor Kleinmann to monitor Midnight's bodily status via satellite, as well as giving him the ability to record the brain-wave patterns of anybody that Midnight comes into contact with. Of course, if anybody found out about this, they could conceivably tap into the data constantly emitted by her implants...

Hindrances:

Addicted: unable to dream herself, Vivienne uses her powers to vicariously steal the dreaming images from others, via her damaged Midnight persona. If she doesn't manage to steal anybody's dreams at night, her Willpower score is treated as if it were zero for the next day.

Furthermore, should she be deprived to this point by the next time she emerges from Vivienne's mind, her Midnight persona must pass a desperate difficulty Willpower action to resist the urge to steal dreams from the first person she comes across...

Transformative: the usually shy and overall normal Vivienne's mind is invariably transformed at midnight into, well, Mistress Midnight. In order to prevent this change (and to, for once, get a decent night's sleep), Vivienne must pass a desperate Willpower action.

Skills:

Manipulation: if anything, Vivienne's Midnight persona knows how to manipulate others into doing her bidding, and can easily do so without their even knowing it. In fact, one could possibly call her a master seductress, but only if they really wanted to.

Calling:

Peace of Mind: Vivienne knows that she has this extra personality rummaging about in her head, and that it's doing bad things. Also, she knows why, and this makes her feel somewhat guilty about what's going on. As such, she's trying to come to terms with who she is...

Costume:

Vivienne simply wears conservative (but highly expensive) attire while going about her business. Her Midnight persona, however, tends to wear a black spandex outfit, complemented by a spiky leather collar, belt, and boots. In the mental realm, her dream self (as seen by Nightmask) manifests in a tight, black leather harness, complemented by studded leather hip-hugger boots and gloves.

Personality:

Vivienne herself is a shy, conservative sort, having learned not to display any sort of 'bad' behavior in public, as she's a member of some sort of royal family (which one being as of yet undisclosed). Her Midnight persona, on the other hand, is a no-holds barred explosion of deviant behavior, especially since she has to feed on people's dreams to maintain her sanity.

Story:

She was an otherwise normal little girl, that Vivienne. Sure, she was a member of some royal family living on the French Riviera, but still, she was quite... average... as little girls go. Except for one thing: Vivienne never, ever dreamed. Sure, she could sleep, per se, but never actually entered a dreaming state. This is always bad for a person, and Vivienne is no exception to this rule.

By the time she was twelve, her mind had splintered under this extreme mental stress. During the day, she was still the prim and proper Vivienne, shy to the extreme and essentially remaining unnoticed by others since she didn't do anything... wrong. However, after the clock struck twelve, another persona would emerge if Vivienne were still awake.

This persona was Mistress Midnight.

Totally starved of dreams, this young woman's alternate persona somehow emerged as one diametrically opposed to her normal self. Midnight did everything that Vivienne never dreamed of, going to great lengths to explore every curiosity, as she had no other outlet to express the extreme mental problems raging inside her head. That was, of course, until the White Event.

Shortly after this bizarre astronomical phenomenon struck the earth, Vivienne was changed. She'd begun to develop psionic powers. Well, at least her Midnight persona did, in that it could now steal the dreaming images that lay in the subconscious minds of others, allowing her to achieve a small measure of sanity, of only for a short time.

After her powers accidentally killed a man, however, Vivienne went to a psychologist for help, one Doctor Kleinmann, who was a dream specialist. Quite insane himself, however, Kleinmann didn't cure Vivienne, instead treating her in such a fashion that her problems only got worse, in order to retain her as a sort of paranormal hit-woman, as well as to observe the psychological oddity that she represented.

One particular job Kleinmann needed Midnight for involved his sudden arch-enemy, the American youth known to Kleinmann as Nightmask. Wielding dream powers without the expensive machinery the Doctor needed, this man threatened Kleinmann's position in the dreaming world: that of a unique explorer. As such, Kleinmann wanted Midnight to get rid of him.

Journeying to America to do this deed, Midnight indeed met up with Keith Remsen, and managed to get the drop on him with her vampiric dream powers. Sensing the amazing potential for dreaming imagery within him, Midnight gave this attack her all, but sensing a weakness in her, Keith released all the imagery he'd collected after treating mental patients for months, overloading Midnight's powers.

Confused and bewildered as a result of this, Midnight fled into the Washington D.C. night, never again to be seen by Nightmask (or anybody else). It is assumed that she returned to her home on the French Riviera, as she could continue her vampiric attacks upon the locals undetected, while at the same time being supported by the vast finances of her family estate...
