[hider=*]I don't expect the beginning to make any changes to your character at all when he comes back. I always assumed even his armor reverts to normal when he comes back. So if he's dead and I fuck his armor up a little it just gets fixed when he comes back.[/hider]

Xavier could feel that the uppercut had hit its mark and drove it home, curling his bicep in the last moment to tear through throat and jaw bone. It was clear that Auz had died once again, though Xaviers attacks still did not stop. His left fist pulled free of Auzs leg before Xavier used his shoulder to shove Auzs upper body free of his own. Allowing him to release a volley of blows against Auzs body until he disappeared. Striking even at the wisps of energy.

When there was nothing left to attack Xaviers arms went limp at his side as his head turned towards Auz. Slowly and smoothly Xavier would rise to his feet. The metal which composed the cestus on his hands was liquefying once more. Creating long and thin bulbous forms at the end of his fists. The wound on his chest spouted a small amount of blood which would collect over top of it. Eventually creating a visible metallic dome over where the wound was. From either side of the wound of Xaviers left arm sprouted 4 slender rods of metal which would bind themselves over the wound. Creating what would appear to be a make shift stitching.

The bulbous masses had grown to be 4 foot long and as thick as a mans forearm. In unison the forms began to quiver and quake as Xavier rose only his right arm so that it would point at Auz. As his arm moved the form on his right arm began to take shape, slowly creating a short sword. The hilt appeared in an instant, the forming of the blade was slower and the metal shook vigorously side to side in the process. In the end it was thicker and wider than one would expect of an average short sword, even compared to the ones Xavier had created before.

The mass on Xaviers left arm was creating the exact same weapon, though it was going just a tad slower. So its respective arm hung limp at his side as the blade shook back and forth. Xavier slowly began to advance on Auz, using a normal, wide strolling stance.
