Full of sarcasm and pent-up rage, he acts more like cantankerous senior citizen than a young adventurer.Faust was born in DR 963 (The Year of the Deadly Duo) in Waterdeep. Incidentally, his birth marked the beginning of construction of Waterdeep castle, making Faust approximately 400  years old though he has long since stopped counting. He would have lived a normal, happy mortal lifespan were it not for his dark experiments using psionic energy.Psionics was virtually unknown in Faerun at the time and this ignorance compelled Faust to plunge headlong into its depths. A miscalculation in one particular experiment resulted in his consciousness merging with a strange group of aberrations known as Elans. Sadly, this meant the demise of his mortal shell.Elans, it seemed, had existed for millennia in a Dreamscape of sorts with a shared memory stretching back to the fall of the mighty Netherese. The origins of their species and their current inability to reproduce, however, was lost to the ages. Therefore, Elan psyches were periodically "reincarnated" in human shells only to die and re-enter the collective.Faust had been through this process several times already, learning (painfully) that suicide simply sent him back to be re-embodied once more. Not surprisingly, he had become a bitter individual wishing only to return to oblivion and finally recognized the futility of it all. His only joy in life comes in sending others to the afterlife that has been denied to him. One of the benefits of near immortality, of course, is vast accumulated knowledge which led Faust to discover the imminence of the Age of Worms. If the whole world were to be destroyed, then he would be nothing but a drone in the vast Elan consciousness without even a mortal body to alleviate his boredom and pass the time.He was damned if he was going to let that happen . . .COMBATFaust's Elan heritage gives him a vast array of offensive and defensive powers. He is possessive of his current mortal shell, repugnant as it may be, and tries to preserve it if possible. He always carries a torch to manifest a fiery discorporation to prevent returning to the Elan mental collective prematurely.His nickname Holocaust was earned not only for his ability to deal out ridiculous amounts of damage via diverse energy types but his flippant disregard for other sentient beings. "If they only knew how worthless their short, miserable lives are they wouldn't mind me expediting their passage to Celestia or some other stupid Plane." - Faust CenodoxusNaturally Psionic: Faust gain 2 bonus power points at 1st level. This benefit does not grant him the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class.Resistance (Su): Faust can use psionic energy to increase his resistance to various forms of attack. As an immediate action, he can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of his next action.Resilience (Su): When Faust takes damage, he can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, he can reduce the damage he is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point he spends.Repletion (Su): Faust can sustain his body without need of food or water. If he spends 1 power point, Faust does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.Psioncs (Sp): Faust has a power point pool of 125. His DC to resist powers is 17 + power level (subject to augmentation) (18 + power level for psychokinetic powers)1st:Inertial Armor, Vigor, Precognition Defensive, Crystal Shard, Catfall2nd:Energy Missile, Energy Push, Cloud Mind, Ego Whip3rd:Energy Cone, Energy Wall, Dispel Psionics, Touchsight4th:Control Body, Energy Ball, Dimension Door (Psi), Energy Adaptation, Metamorphosis5th:Fiery Discorporation, Power Resistance, Plane Shift (Psi), Energy CurrentEQUIPMENTHeadband of Intellect +4, Gloves of Health +2, Psionatrix of Psychokinesis, Third Eye of Concentration, Cloak of Resistance +2, 2000 gp</blockquote>
