[QUOTE="mcnathan80, post: 2920115, member: 40529"] No prob, is this more to your liking? Personality [Sblock] Pem is a Reality Seeker; meaning he has eschewed the changelings usual proclivity of adopting multiple forms and identities (these changelings are called Becomers) and has settled on one form.
