Neil Gaiman's Sandman, notice - the next sentence really hurts our collective soul to say but it must be said, Neil Gaiman's Sandman is probably the greatest thing ever put to print by a batshit crazy insane Scientology weirdo that believes in Xenu.
Before we go anywhere, it should be noted that this article refers to the Neil Gaiman, Vertigo, character of Morpheus and not the DC character "Sandman" who runs around in a gas mask and slips roofies into Wimmins drinks.
Neil Gaiman's Sandman follows the titular character of The Sandman or more formerly, Morpheus: The God of Dream or Dream Of The Endless and his 6 siblings Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium/Delight who are know as the Endless or rather anthrpomorphic personifications of the ideas that create and define the universe and Humanity
Unlike most mythologies or Religions that have an antithesis like G-D and Satan, Jesus and The Anti-Christ or Dharma and Chaos - the Endless play both sides of the same coin and represent the opposite or rather have dual roles concerning how they are named.
For instance, Death also represents life and the circle of Life and Death is represented in that she wears an Egyptian Ankh.

Plot
As it has been already noted, the story follows the titular character of The Sandman or Morpheus and is the personification of Dreams in the same way that a Greek God like Aries is the personification of war or Aphrodite, Love.
When the series opens Morpheus is captured in an Occult ritual that was meant to, rather, capture his sister Death because so long as Death is unable to move around, no one can die because she can not perform her function.
After 70 years, Morpheus escapes simply through patience amd waiting for the spell circle and everything around him to decay and fall apart, because being eternal he can simply outlast such human inventions. Upon his return to his kingdom of dream he sets out to rebuild it as it has fallen into disrepair and nightmares and dreams like The Corinthian have gone rogue and have started using their "DREAM" roles and abilities to influence people wrongly.
Once it is discovered that he has had a child with Hippolyta, (pronounced Hip-paul-lee-tuh), Morpheus' character starts to take on the role of something more akin to a Tragic Greek Hero like Odysseus who is being punished for his arrogance/hubris and for pretty much pissing off Peseidon when he blinded Poseidon's Cyclops son Polyphemus or more closer to Orestes who is ordered by the god Apollo to kill his Mother and in punishment for his violation of the oldest of laws is hunted down by the Erinyes (Also known as the Furies but most of you will confuse them with Furries.
Characters
The Endless
Name | Description | Picture |
---|---|---|
Destiny | Also known by his Greek name Potmos. Eldest of the Endless and much like other Sandman characters like Lucian, Cain and Able - an early version of him can be found in the 70s horror comic Weird Mystery Tales. Destiny is often portrayed much like the Grim Reaper is in Wetern myth in that he is tall, and his face is always being obscured by the cowl of his dark robe. He knows all and sees all and from reading the book titled The Cosmic Log that is chained to his right wrist, he has the history of the all things past, present and future. Much like someone who knows the outcome of all games and gambles, he is always portrayed as detached and Talks very little. He is the least understood of all The Endless because he is rarely depicted in the comic and is characterised more as an idea only with a human form and lacking any and all Human emotion. He is best described as the Three Fates in Greek Mythology Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos in that he is above and beyond the gods and can not be influenced by them. Not even Yahweh or Xenu has the power to change what has already been written in his book. Following the Motiff of duality, Destiny also represents freedom in that he can put his book down anytime he wants and be free of his duties. |
|
Death | Also known by the name DiDi, in human form, and names like The Grim Reaper when playing the role of Death but she is best known as The Cute Little Death Girl by fans. The second eldest of the Endless and the one that has the closest relationship to Dream or Rather Morpheus and this is dramatized when she actually Bitch Slaps Dream for not visiting her and letting her know he was safe when he had returned. Their closeness might have something to do with that dreams are seen as a way into death following the old belief that there is a thin wall between dream and death and, "If you die in your dreams, you die for real." Much like the Universe, humans and everything with life, Death is destined to meet everyone twice, first at their birth when she infuses a body with life and the second, obvious time is at their death when she collects the soul and takes it to its final reward. |
|
Dream | Neil Gaiman's Mary Sue whose looks are a mix of his and Robert Smith From the Cure, you get the hair now. He is also known as Morpheus, Kai'ckul, Oneiros and at times The Sandman. He is the third eldest of the 7 Endless and came to be when just as Life started to Dream about what it could become. Has a very good relationship with his sister Death and has a "I want to kill the bitch", relationship with his Sister/Brother Desire because he/she was responsible for the break-up of Dream and his lover. |
|
Destruction | The Middle Child of the Endless as can see by the fact that he abandons his realm around the age reason because he forsees humans creating the Atomic Bomb and being able to do a competant job on their own without any help from him. Portrayed as a soulless Ginger with long haired tied in a pony tail and having a beard. His closest sibling is Delirium who pretty much worships the ground he walks on and in the cliche role of older brother, Destruction often treats her with candies when they meet. |
|
Desire | Desire is the third youngest of The Endless and is often portrayed as sexless, looking a lot like a more masculine K. D. Lang because Desire can become male, female or remain sexless as the situation desires. There is much animosity between Desire and Dream as can be seen When Desire rapes Unity Kincaid while she is asleep with a sleeping sickness and has a daughter with her, Miranda Walker, that Desire convinces Morpheus he must kill because she is a Vortex Of Dream that could lead to the destruction of the dream realm. |
|
Despair | Despair, also known as Aponoia is the second youngest of The Endless and The Endless that is probably the most like you in that she is an obese, flabby, pale skinned, whiney, emo that likes to sit alone in an empty room and cut herself. She is not the first Despair and was the first of the Endless to be killed or destroyed. The reasons for this are currently unknown. |
|
Delirium/Delight | Delirium, also known by her Greek name of Mania, is The Youngest of The Endless and is often portrayed as a young girl about or around the ages of 13 and 15. She is a favorite of Anime Tards in that she has Heterochromia in that one eye is blue and the other green but they always change because she can never remember which one is supposed to be which. Being the youngest of The Endless, she is also the most quickly offended and has punished people who have offended her with extreme madness. No one, not even Destiny knows why she went from being Delight to Delirium. |
