I just noticed this a short time ago while I was browsing through the END users looking at other Dream-based Purgers... what's the Category field, and how exactly does that show up? Is it something from one of the puzzles, or something you set? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't see it in forum and I'm curious.

Oh, well, I never really finished doing that stuff.
Category is a description of what the dreamer is, one of five choices: Animal, Elemental, Tactical, Magical, or Powerful.
An Elemental Dreamer utilizes some force of nature; a Powerful Dreamer utilizes brute force or is in some other way massive in size; Magical Dreamers use mysterious or supernatural powers; Animal Dreamers should be obvious; Tactical Dreamers are supposed to be those that use intelligence or agility or weapons, but it typically acts as a catch-all category.
Thing is, there is no way to set this. It is the only category that I decide. Since I have to approve all END accounts and changes, I can set the Category whenever I do. I base the Category on the Dreamer Title and Avatar Picture, although the Dream Shots can help swing the vote.
That is pretty much it. Those categories don't really do anything. I think I was setting up a cyclic relationship for dreamer challenges, but... I do not even remember what happened to those. I was programming them, but... oh yeah, the anniversary was on the wrong date After I turned out to miss the date, I sorta stopped caring, which was really kinda stupid to do.

Well, if you have one, it will be on your View Account page.
Of course, most Dreamers do not have one 'cause it requires me to go through the list and say "Yup, that guy would be this."
Some very unimaginative avatars are even grounds for not having a category. Losers.
