In time, something does approach the newly formed statue. Or to be more specific, somethings. Colonies of insects who somehow have burrowed their way into this prison plane come out of hiding. They meet each other in their path and, rather than fighting, converge into an amorphous blob. As more join in it, certain species go to certain areas. Millipedes and centipedes gather near the bottom, creating the visage of a larger version of their many legs. Fireflies and other luminescent creatures gather near the top, creating many circles. The blob grows taller and skinnier as four limbs protrude from the center mass, digits growing further, each tipped with a stinger. The humanoid shape is solidified even further once it fashions itself a cloak and gloves from discarded scrap on the ruined floor. At last, a mask, made from crude stone, is placed upon the ground in front of the creatures by the final insects to join. It leans down to pick it up with one of its many arms and rests it up on its face, revealing only the lit disks created by the fireflights. In fact, by now the only part of the being that is revealed to be made of many bugs would be its centipede legs, which trail a long ways behind the body.
The newly formed creature observes its body solemnly and, without speaking a word, touches the statue, caressing the face that was once its.
A tall man steps out of the shadows. "I see you have lost your true form, like myself, and many others here."
They remain silent for some time, observing the details of the statue. Out of nowhere, a crack is heard as the figure twists off the stone’s head and takes it in their arms. They turn to look at the man with their false eyes, the only part of face not covered by the mask. In an emotionless and timeless voice, they respond. “That was never my true form. It was what I was forced to be so that I could be controlled... and punished. I was too powerful to be mortal. I was too kind to be divine. Now I suppose that matters not.”
"I see, that story is similar to mine. Why did the celestials send you to this place."
“Perhaps because I tried to give some of my power to my lover, so that we may both rule over my domain in immortality. Perhaps because many framed me for the theft of the Sun’s crown. Perhaps because I showed little respect for authority. Does it truly matter now?”

“Perhaps because I tried to give some of my power to my lover, so that we may both rule over my domain in immortality. Perhaps because many framed me for the theft of the Sun’s crown. Perhaps because I showed little respect for authority. Does it truly matter now?”
Malrick chuckles coldly. "That is the truth, I lost a war to defend my people. Now I am here, turned into a Fiend."
“Oh, I do!” It nods. “But I’m going to be here forever so I have a lot of time.”
The angel lets out an exasperated sigh. “Are you an entertainer of sorts? There should be a party or audience you should be attending to, if I am not mistaken.”
He chuckles, taking a couple of steps closer. “I am a master of ceremonies! The performers perform at my stage, I introduce them to the crowd. Very simple. I only perform if nobody else is.”
Correlion rustles its feathers. “I see no performers here.”

*My conundrum is that I want to eat someone’s character and take there power, but there is two problems.
this would cause someone to lose their character for a day and lose all their progress.
I highly doubt I would will a fight because I don’t really optimize very well.
So yeah…*
*A lot of people here are probably also looking for fights and are unoptimized, the lure of XP is strong. It’s also like gambling, if both people agree then it should be fine*

“As am I.” He gestures to himself with one of his hands and back at Malrick. “If you do not care for me asking, who are you? I know not who you were, for I am the first of my pantheon with such a punishment.”
