He's now a Cleric 5/Divine Oracle 2/Entropomancer 10/Contemplative 10/Shadow Sentinel 3.I thought I'd provide some more fluff than his little interlude with Etna.Fogshrouded BastrionThere was nothing. There was no Bas, no self, no feeling. Nothing but the fog.Then he fell.The fog peeled away from him like a layer of flesh. Existence was a horror. It was suffering. He wanted the nothingness back. Death? Death was still existence. Spirits lived on. Spirits could suffer more even than the flesh.His creator spoke to him. It was the first sound he had ever heard. Hearing was... painful? But it was important. Important to listen. To remember. He committed the words to memory.He felt the sand beneath his feet, the grit and dirt of the beach. There was salt in the air. These feelings, these smells... was this pain? To exist was to feel pain. But it was important. Every sensation. He tried to remember feeling nothing. Could he?Could the creator uncreate him? He could not ask. He did not know what answer he wished to hear.-----Standing just under six feet tall, Bas is completely hairless. About his head circle faint runes at all times, shedding light like a candle. His face betrays an ever-shifting mix of emotions: fear, pain, anxiety, trepidation, wonder.He is fascinated by nonexistence, by turns longing for it and fearing it. For he knows that nonexistence is free of pain -- but it is also free of all other sensations, and he's slowly becoming less and less certain that it would be a worthwhile tradeoff. He doesn't derive pleasure from pain, but he is so new to this world that it sometimes takes him time to determine which he's actually feeling.</blockquote>
