| Steps in and out of the mortal plane to strike his foes. | |
|---|---|
| Privy to secrets that would shatter a mortal mind, Inai emerges from the Hidden Temple into the material world to perform tasks that change the trajectory of the world. Dissimilating and reappearing in random portals, the Void Spirit leaves behind glowing Aether Remnants that pull enemies into their destructive embrace. Sending out Resonant Pulses, he shrouds himself in the essence of the aether, a volatile energy that slays the weak and nullifies the attacks of the mighty. A tear in reality is observed as the Void Spirit Astral Steps through his enemies, leaving a trail of ruin in his path. | |

+15/20/25/30 Barrier Bonus per Enemy Hit
Upon reassembling from Dissimilate, lesser Aether Remnants are created at a few portals furthest from the Void Spirit.

Bio
[edit]Friend or foe, in the wake of the confluence, you will follow where I lead.▶️Inai, the Void Spirit
Aliases:
VS, Inai
Lore:
Not even the other spirits claim to understand the mind and machinations of the eldest amongst them, Inai the Void Spirit. Privy to secrets that would shatter a mortal mind, the Void Spirit observes the workings of the universe from an unknowable vantage, choosing to let carefully groomed servants do his bidding -- only emerging from his Hidden Temple into the material plane when he deems that he alone can steer the course of reality along its proper path.
With an expansive perspective on existence, Inai is focused intently on a point in time beyond which he cannot see, when the fabrics of multiple realities are fated to collide. Now he steps from the aether to personally resolve the battle of the Ancients and prepare his allies for what he views as a greater conflict to come.
