Bāśār, The Twisted God of Flesh

Bāśār, The Twisted God of Flesh

Domains & Aspects:

Twisting and reformation of flesh, nightmares, twisted forms manifested from fears and experiences. Bāśār seeks to reshape the world into a living tapestry of mutable flesh, reflecting the inner torments of mortals.

Symbols:

A face without features; a heart covered in eyes; raw muscle forming a crown.

Realm:

The Veinspire, a realm that has invaded and formed between The Infernal Planes and The Dark Planes. A horrific, pulsing citadel of flesh, where the ground writhes with veins and sinew. Shapes born from nightmares prowl its corridors, ever-changing without an end and very few exits. Some doors lead into unspeakable horrors and those who escape never fully recover physically, mentally or spiritually.

Personality:

Malevolent, insidious, manipulative, obsessive, intrusive, persuasive, can act in a way that comes off as benevolent. Bāśār thrives on corruption of form and spirit, whispering to mortals minds or through their darkest dreams to promise a dark paradise or torments them on The Physical Plane. His cults occasionally perform a powerful ritual that blocks off an area or town, changing it into a partial alternate dimension to help him build, shape and add to the physical parts of his body, while his influence infects and transforms the area that has been blocked off, where the personal nightmares of the victims are manifested into twisted parodies of flesh. He does not merely destroy, but absorbs, transforms and reshapes, believing a world of nightmarish flesh is true a paradise, wanting his body to exist in multiple planes at once.

Bāśār was once a some what powerful Lesser God that dwelled between The Infernal and The Dark planes, born on the edges of the planes and The Outer Chasm, his growth and formation subtly influenced by them. He was just a half formed thing, finding it's own identity while becoming fascinated with the flesh of mortals, able to look upon and watch them from where he resided. At some point, he came upon a weaker Lesser God that had a unique property to absorb, grow and change shape, a nameless thing, barely knowing it's own identity or existence, born from an anomaly of gathering planar energies. A voice from The Outer Chasm, more than likely Flaiska The Flesh Seamstress, convinced him to lead it into the deepest part of it, far away from the eyes of any Gods, to devour and absorb it wholly, while the energies of Beyond The Outer Chasm warped and transformed him, becoming what he is now.

Appearance:

A male human with bloodstained, pale, leathery, stretched skin, his face is nothing but twisted and stretched skin, his lips are long and thin, his mouth filled with rows of sharp teeth, random eyes throughout his body between some the deepest parts or tears in his stretched skin, usually partially formed on The Physical Plane. When fully formed, he's usually wearing robes made of pale, dead skin.
