Editing Planescape: Torment (section)

==Plot==
Our hero (or at least protagonist) is a heavily scarred amnesiac man who cannot remember what he is called; for this reason, he is informally known as "The Nameless One", because nobody ''else'' knows what his name is, either. What he does know is that he is immortal - in the sense that after dying, he regenerates and then comes back to life.

After waking up in the Mortuary, and successfully escaping before the [[Dustmen]] find out about his immortality and take steps to "correct" it (by hoiking him into the [[Elemental Planes|Elemental Plane of Fire]]), the Nameless One ventures forth into the fabled City of Doors itself, [[Sigil]]. From there he must gain allies and eventually find out about himself; particularly, why he is unable to stay dead. The game begins in the Hive portion of Sigil and later into the Clerk and Upper wards as well as into [[Lady of Pain|The Lady's]] Mazes, [[Carceri]] and the Hells themselves. All the while you get to enjoy thugs around every corner, demons, shadows that are trying to kill you (again) and the general... "charm" of Sigil's varied peoples.

{{spoiler|After many side-quests through the kind of weirdness only a properly executed Sigil can provide, the Nameless One finally finds out that he was once a man who committed a sin so terrible that a single lifetime wouldn't be enough to redeem himself, and thusly he was doomed to the [[Lower Planes]] and the [[Blood War]] upon death. Desperate to avoid this fate, he sought to become immortal with the aid of a [[Hag|Night Hag]] named Ravel Puzzlewell...unfortunately, her experiment only partially worked, and his constant "resetting" upon death caused him to forget his original mission to seek redemption. Worse, not only was his immortality fueled by draining the life from random individuals across the multiverse, causing him to spawn vengeful shadows, but his torn-out mortality became a living entity in its own right and sought to torment him throughout eternity. Facing his mortality down in the Fortress of Regrets, the final dungeon of the game, the Nameless One either merges with his mortality and descends to the Lower Planes to begin paying for his crimes, or utterly annihilates the both of them.}}
