Who lives in Eidolon City?
For the game, the population is made up of three character types. All characters are human, they all look the same, they are all simply citizens of Eidolon City, but their origins are different.
The citizens of Eidolon City fall into three categories - Dreamers, Aspects and Others (Citizens), though these names are used simply for ease of reference, characters do not refer to themselves or each other by these names in game!
The simplest and most common type found in the city is merely a citizen. Citizens make up the majority of the population and they are, quite simply, NPCs. They are every person in the city who isn't a Player Character. They are the background people - and they are a creation of the mass dream as much as the city itself is. Every city needs a population, so Eidolon City has a population. They are all just people on the street - there because they are needed to be, but of no real overwhelming significance.
The 'significant' people in Eidolon City are broken down into two groups with very different origins. These two groups can be referred to as 'Dreamers' and 'Aspects' -
Dreamerss are the people who created Eidolon City - they are the people who, in the real world, are in comas. They do not know that Eidolon City is not real, or that they once had another life.
Aspects are living representations of old ideas - people whose personality and being is formed around fairytale characters, ancient gods, emotions or other abstract concepts. They are a creation of Eidolon City, but they are player characters. They have no existence in the real world.
