Billions of years ago
The stars fused together then exploded.
Birthing a new creature.
A enormous bat, that give herself the name "Nebula".
Nebula, the moment she was born, started creating new things.
She created planets, star dust, the Milky Way, anything and everything.
She held the universe in her wings.
Soon, she created life of her own.
She created a planet called "Earth" and all sorts of life, even creating bats of all sorts.
Later, she created her own planet called "Vestus", a planet full of bats and unique foods and plants.

These creatures fed on nightmares, for these nightmares, when regurgitated, became beautiful dreams.

When nightmares were created, Nebula believed that if life were to exist, there would need to be balance. And so, she created another creature, a creature of darkness from the deep of space. A creature of black and white that did not resemble a bat, but of a human male, he was given the name "Vast".

Nebula blessed him with the power of creation, and gave him the role of creating nightmares for the bats to feed on, and made him a planet to call his own and create his kingdom.

Life on all planets, was peaceful.

Until one day.

A day that was meant to be the anniversary of the creation of life, soon became a day of horror. All creatures were to celebrate life and Nebula. On the planet Vestus, within the castle where the bats were celebrating with a feast. Nebula had invited Vast and his citizens to accompany them on this festive day.

Until suddenly, the front palace doors exploded and in flew demonic like creatures, with large dragon-like wings, these monsters were made to resemble bats, but look as if they were made by a madman.

Immediately, these monsters started tearing up the kingdom, and slaughtering bats.
Nebula rushed towards the entrance, and started fighting off these monsters and saving as many of her citizens as she could.

As the smoke cleared, in walked Vast. But his appearance was...different... he no longer resemble the being Nebula made him to be. His appearance was more disturbing and eerie, like that of an evil ringmaster.
(So think of the guy from "Suffer the night" on steam but not really lol).

Nebula, filled with rage and confusion yelled, "VAST?!WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Vast replied in a low voice, "Isn't it simply, my dear? I'm making this land mine."

Nebula and her army stormed the front lines, defending her home and all the life she had created.
It was a glorious battle with a brilliant ending, for Nebula was able to disorient Vast, which gave her enough time to use all her power and blast Vast and his planet as far away from their home and Earth as possible.
It is theorized that handling darkness and nightmares for thousands of years, had corrupted his mind, causing him to be filled with greed and evil.
Long after Vast's banishment, Nebula had a child that was given the name "(Name)". (teehee)
With a coat of beautiful (fur color) fluff, they would work their way up the lines of "Dream catcher" to the Deity and defender of the life that their mother had created.

Since Vast's banishment, he has created more horrific monsters, bringing horrible nightmares upon earth and its life, he has given himself the nickname "The Bat Hunter"
Bats would travel to earth to deliver dreams and never come back. To fix the issue, Nebula created yet mores creatures, called "Owls". These owls would guide the "dream catchers" with their delivers and fight off the evil nightmares that haunted earth.

The balance that Nebula wanted, came with the price of many creatures she had created. She did not want the same fate to fall on her kin.

Many years have passed and (Name) is now old enough to begin their training as a "dream catcher" and join the team of new and old bats, traveling to earth to bring a good nights rest.
