Nicolette Pasteur

Pasteur was born in Paris at the end of the 18th century. She was bedridden from birth and suffered from a painful nerve disease that gave her horrible hallucinations and nightmares. Pasteur's dream worlds are paranoid places where the ground, the houses, objects, and creatures are all out to get you. Nothing is steady or reliable. The ground vanishes under your feet, trees tear you to pieces, walls grow arms that grab you. All of Pasteur's dream worlds, even those nearest to our reality, are fragmentary and chaotic. There are no permanent gates into her worlds, but portals can open anywhere at any time. Pasteur herself is close to Vortex, at the center of her own paranoid creations. She lies abed in an 18th century room, identical to the one she occupied during her earhtly life. She never leaves this room.
