Plot
Dreamaniac is a semi-continuity (some events aren't "real") gag-a-day (new joke every day, occasional plotlines.) It revolves around Jake, the Dreamaniac, and his life in Colorado. Jake has to deal with out of control friends and siblings, the trials of teen-hood, and his strange powers that make what should be imaginary... Real!
Characters
Main Characters
Jake
Jake is the Dreamaniac of the comic. Extremely creative, positive, and imaginative, Jake also happens to have Attention Defecit Disorder, not that you would notice. Jake has messy dark brown hair, brown eyes, and can always be recognized by his Peace t-shirt. He is sixteen years old. Jake created his first imaginary friend, Whippy, when he was six. Since then, he developed into the Dreamaniac. This status blurs the line between reality and imaginary in a very large radius around him- which is why Whippy can be real in the first place.
Gaming alias: Howler
Whippy
Jakes main imaginary friend, recognizeable by his circular body and limbs, two black ears, and two very long prehensile tails with dots on the end. Due to his years of exposure to Jake's most positive emotions, he has moved beyond being "imaginary." He is now a being of solid positive energy, a limitless generator of joy, happiness, and all other good feelings. This is clearly represented in his playful, enthusiastic personality. Whippy commands and leads the rest of the Beeps.
Andrew
One of Jake's two best friends. Age is 15. Andrew has a tendency to be slightly condescending, but is a good guy to have around despite this trait. He is recognizeable by his drooping blonde hair, Smash Bros. shirt, and his tendency to display eyebrows more often then the other characters. Expert at GameFaqs posting, Pokemon, and gourmet cooking. Tends to exibit ninja-esque tendencies, as exibited in his alter-ego.
Gaming alias: Bug (sometimes IceBug)
Neil
Jake's other best friend. Age is 15. Neil tends to be the guiding line of the group when things start to become too insane, but is susceptible to crazy notions himself. He is recognizeable by his dark triforce t-shirt, short black hair, and plain white tennis shoes. Also, his skin is dark. Mechanical and Technological genius, he is the first human to actually establish a second home on the moon. Expert at RPGs.
Gaming alias: Dott_irb
Amelia
Amelia is a very nice person who happens to be a violin prodigy. One of the few friends of Jake who also happens to be a girl. She and Jake have a sort of rivalry over chair positions in their school orchestra, but it isn't as serious as the usual (no assasinations. Yet.)
Minor Reoccuring Characters
Mark
Andrews younger brother. After ingesting a near-lethal amount of sugar in his child-hood, he is now on a permanent sugar rush. Loves dogs and puppies. Identified by his Gali mask t-shirt insignia (a monster in Monster Rancher games). His gaming alias is Lolfish.
Jeraldo
The monster who lives under Jake's bed. After failing to meet his fathers expectations as a "scary and evil" monster, he was booted out of Jake's closet. Enjoys soft music and insects (he keeps Jake's room clear of bugs.)
The Beeps
The imaginary race that Jake created when he was five years old. Beeps would be indistinguishable from Whippy, except they do not have two prehensile tails. The exact number of Beeps that Jake can maintain is unknown, but is thought to be limitless. They keep a watch on Jake's subconcious mind through his closet.
Rachel
Jake's younger sister and polar opposite. "Sibling Rivalry" is the understatement of the century.
In Jokes of the Cast
Jake's Closet
Jake's Closet, through unknown means, contains a direct portal to Jake's "Imagination" and subconcious mind. Due to this connection, Jake (despite his weirdness) is a much more stable individual then most, because he can literally confront any subconcious or unconcious conflict that would otherwise harm him. He occasionally has to go subdue his Nightmares by using his "Dreamaniac form."
Andrew's Closet
While similar to Jake's Closet in that it contains an extradimensional space, it has an entirely different purpose: the storage of lost objects. It is one of many pocket dimensions in the universe that automatically stores any objects that have been lost by humanity. Unfortunatley, this includes deadly traps, rolling boulders, and a still-alive Jimmy Hoffa. It is also rumored to contain objects such as the Illuminati Diamond and Babe Ruth's actual bat.
The UPS Battank!
One night in 2005, during a get-together at Jake's house, Jake, Andrew, and Neil began discussing what details might be involved in creating an Instantaneous Delivery System for UPS. Several tangents and one viewing of "Batman Begins" later, and Neil was inspired to actually create the UPS Battank. Currently, the UPS Battank can teleport to any spot in a five mile radius, travel at mach seven, activate an anti-grav device to clear traffic or other obstructions, and re-enter the earth's atmosphere intact.
