Art by DeemeeArt

**Hollow** is the Ionian God of Void, Emotion and Redemption. He was once known as **Leask Laell** and was a member of the *Mainframe of Atlas* party. He is played by SummersSalt.

## Description

### Appearance

Leask is a 25 year old Male, with very effeminate features. He originally was born with half black hair and half white hair. With one red eye and one blue eye. But now having all black hair, and two red eyes. He wears the given vestments of a cult of Div, though fashioned with a bit of his own take on it. Along with an old Robe found among his mother and fathers things.

### Personality

Leask is an extremely anxious individual. He often gets startled by small things or freaks out about seemingly small issues. He is also someone who does not trust easily. People tend to have to earn his favor for him to be able to fully trust them.

Leask is also especially “intimidated” by strong willed people, more so women than others. This is mainly because he wishes he had the confidence that others possess. Also, in part due to the cult like nature his community had, he is used to being a follower of the strong willed. Not a leader himself.

Leask still has memory issues pertaining to the incident when he was kidnapped by the Gnomes. But has been slowly regaining his memory over time.

Due to the events that took place at the Cult of Div, Leask now suffers from minor depressive episodes along with Aggressive Outbursts.

## History

### Background

Leask is a quiet, shy, and generally anxious individual. Due to traumatic incidents that happened in his life he does not remember most of his childhood, but he remembers the important bits.

Leask grew up in a religious community who heavily worshipped Div. All members of the community were distant descendants of the last of the Radiant. Leask’s mother was of Radiant Blood and his father of Void-touched blood, giving him both the blessings and the curses of Radiance and Void. He lived a relatively quiet life with his family in the community, until one day; while he was out working the crops, he was struck on the back of the head. The next thing he remembered was being locked in a cage, with Gnomes all around him taking notes. After being able to eventually escape the Gnomes laboratory, he wandered around Under IO looking for a way out. Which led him to meet some very interesting individuals.

### **Impactful Events**

***The Cult of Div*** – While tracking down the Void-infused Terasolum, the gang found an old church like settlement. Upon arriving they were attacked by a Void & Radiance infused Troll like monster. Once the monster was defeated the group explored the settlement more, finding disturbing things such as dug up graves and wine bottles filled with blood. Upon the investigation of the church itself Leask took notice that the insignias and colors displayed around the church were like that of his own outfit that he was found in. The group continued to explore the church and found many more Radiant infused monsters and many corpses of dead humanoids. Once the group reached the basement of the church, they then faced off against a Creature made of Radiant blood, and its creator. The creator appeared to know Leask. After the Blood monster and its creator were defeated, the Speak with Dead spell was used on the creator to ask questions about where they were. It was then revealed that this religious community was once Leask’s home, that the blood monster they fought was made of the drained radiant blood of all those who lived in the settlement, and that the troll like monsters were mutated towns members as well. Upon further investigation Leask found his mothers body, drained of her blood. And he realized that the Void-infused troll they killed when they first arrived, was his father. Leask not knowing how to process and accept all this information went into a full mental break down. Eventually giving his parents both a proper funeral.

***The Voidbringer*** – Due to Leask’s unstable emotions from the incident with the Div cult, he felt a deep hatred for the Radiant side of himself. He hated that a church of Div would ever hurt its people so much. He hated that he was apart of it once. So, he reached out to the Void and prayed to the Void memory that Terasolum harbored. Leask remembered what Void had said on their first meeting, *“In my final moments I wanted to live, I wanted to experience life.”* He reached out to Void proposing a way for him to truly live. Void taking interest in this deal, expelled the Radiance from Leask. Making him a true Void-Touched. Upon the arrival of the Void-Infused Terasolum at the Atlas Crater, the deal was then conducted. That Leask would harbor Void’s Memory instead of Terasolum. In turn Sachi would also need to become a holder of Div, to help keep the balance. Terasolum then bestowed the Void’s Memory on to Leask, and his body was able to accept it while keeping his mind intact. This made him The Voidbringer.

#### Special Abilities

**Void Mode** - Due to story reasons, Leaks is now permanently in Void Mode. Void Mode sets his Strength Score and Constitution Score equal to his Wisdom Score. (In this case being 20). Void Mode also gives him a weakness to Radiant Damage.

**Void Emissary** - Leask becoming the Voidbringer (Void Emissary) has made it so that he is unable to use Radiant Damage. Because of this, all of his spells and abilities that would normally do radiant damage to targets now do Void Damage to targets instead.

* According to SummersSalt, who has synesthesia, Hollow's art evokes the scent of licorice, vanilla and amaretto.
