Continuing the tradition of my weekly sleeping-in-on-Saturdays giving really cool dreams:

This one was heroic coming-of-age story. Most of the details were pulled from other identifiable sources, but the main protag is cool enough to write out.

They're a gender-ambiguous (female-leaning) person who discovered they could shapeshift by accidentally becoming their own (adorably small, anthro orca-dragon) OC. They quickly identified they could become anything else they wanted within the same approximate mass range, with a catch: they need to actively focus on it.

Their personality is distinct enough that I need to noodle on it a bit more to describe them well. The villain also had vague ideas on how they work and may point to other-than-human origins.

While the dream had them doing hero things, they're more into chilling out to chiptunes, signalwave/vaporwave, and playing variations on 80s and 90s videogames with friends.

They also chose a name for themselves, but it has a conflict with someone I know, so I'll need to find a good alternative for them. Still, very neat little fictionthing.

(Also meant to post this earlier, but lots of random other things happened in the meantime.)
