He looks perpetually slightly sickly, skinny and pale, but he has a reassuring and pleasant smile and his golden yellow eyes gleam with intelligence and perspicacity. His hair is a light hazel brown, trimmed to a medium length and roughly parted in the centre. He looks rather younger than he is, despite the bags under his eyes and the slight stoop with which he walks.[/sblock]</p><p></p><p>[sblock=Personality] Arast is quiet and unassuming most of the time, happy to sink into the background and observe rather than calling attention to himself. He cares little for small talk, though he'll reply politely and pleasantly enough - if rather bnriefly - if engaged in such a conversation. On the occasions when he is driven to speak concerning something he actually cares about, however, he does so eloquently and often at quite some length. Indeed, once he's started it can, every so often, be somewhat difficult to shut him up, particularly if you catch him on certain subjects. He fidgets almost constantly, drumming his fingers or tapping his foot or playing with some small object. This may give the appearance that he is distracted or absent-minded, but it would be quite a mistake to make that assumption.[/sblock]</p><p></p><p>[sblock=Background] Arast's existence was conventional at first, the typical life of the gifted son of a good citizen. He was extraordinarily bright, and was funneled into the priesthood. The ONE's propaganda machine could never be accused of inefficacy, and he never doubted what he was taught. This promising formation of a priest of the ONE went as smoothly as could be imagined, up until the boy's fifteenth year. It was then that the first vision came, in the form of a dream. It was the crawling, unthinkable horror of the Unnameable that came to him first, filling his sleep with horrors beyond the human capacity of imagination but denying him the luxury of awakening as he writhed on sweat-slicked sheets.</p><p></p><p> In time he his dreams were filled also with the glory of Thor, the beauty and mystery of Ernu, the insidious promises of power whispered by Vecna and the boundless verdancy of Mannegish all overlaid by the cruel mockery of his laughter. The Five ruled his sleep as surely as the ONE ruled his waking hours, giving his torn consciousness no peace or rest.</p><p></p><p> He lived in the ever-present fear that one of the ONE's clerics would see the nature of his nightmares in his mind. It seemed inevitable that they would, before long, and Arast grew increasingly frantic. He even considered confessing, though he knew it would win him scant lenience.</p><p> </p><p> Ultimately he was saved from his predicament. It was the dead of night when the old woman appeared, breaking into his restless sleep and whispering urgently that if he wished to escape his inevitable downfall then he would surrender himself to her. Thinking the hag no more than another of his visions, and too weak to protest, he could only nod numbly. She took his hand and then the temple quarters melted and disappeared, becoming a different room entirely. He slipped back into unconsciousness, enjoying the first untroubled sleep he had known in months.</p><p></p><p> He woke in the morning to find that the crone had been no vision or dream, for she sat still by his bed, looking intently at him. </p><p></p><p> From that morning he began his tutelage in the Old Ways, unlearning all that had been embedded in his mind by the propaganda machines of the ONE. Years later, the old woman died - the woman who had mentored him and been his only human contact since his escape from the temple, though she always refused to tell him her name. Her last words were that if he did not know himself what he had to do, he should start by going to an old contact of hers in the Resistance; there perhaps he would find some direction and purpose. Not knowing what else to do, he followed her directions.[/sblock]</p></blockquote><p></p>

This promising formation of a priest of the ONE went as smoothly as could be imagined, up until the boy's fifteenth year. It was then that the first vision came, in the form of a dream. It was the crawling, unthinkable horror of the Unnameable that came to him first, filling his sleep with horrors beyond the human capacity of imagination but denying him the luxury of awakening as he writhed on sweat-slicked sheets. In time he his dreams were filled also with the glory of Thor, the beauty and mystery of Ernu, the insidious promises of power whispered by Vecna and the boundless verdancy of Mannegish all overlaid by the cruel mockery of his laughter. The Five ruled his sleep as surely as the ONE ruled his waking hours, giving his torn consciousness no peace or rest. He lived in the ever-present fear that one of the ONE's clerics would see the nature of his nightmares in his mind. It seemed inevitable that they would, before long, and Arast grew increasingly frantic. He even considered confessing, though he knew it would win him scant lenience. Ultimately he was saved from his predicament. It was the dead of night when the old woman appeared, breaking into his restless sleep and whispering urgently that if he wished to escape his inevitable downfall then he would surrender himself to her. Thinking the hag no more than another of his visions, and too weak to protest, he could only nod numbly. She took his hand and then the temple quarters melted and disappeared, becoming a different room entirely. He slipped back into unconsciousness, enjoying the first untroubled sleep he had known in months. He woke in the morning to find that the crone had been no vision or dream, for she sat still by his bed, looking intently at him. From that morning he began his tutelage in the Old Ways, unlearning all that had been embedded in his mind by the propaganda machines of the ONE. Years later, the old woman died - the woman who had mentored him and been his only human contact since his escape from the temple, though she always refused to tell him her name. Her last words were that if he did not know himself what he had to do, he should start by going to an old contact of hers in the Resistance; there perhaps he would find some direction and purpose. Not knowing what else to do, he followed her directions.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
