Everything was going great you were just in the greatest battle for the Black Company leading your men to victory against the Lionguard. The smell of blood soaked the field and the corpses could be used to build something for taking down the capital. You were halfway through the pass when the sky opened in the biggest magical anything you'd ever seen in your life. You barely had time to warn the troops before they were descended upon by spirits of gold and sliver hungry for your lives.
You stood no chance.
But your soul did. Dark seals shrouded it from the descending spirits it protection keeping you hidden and bound to the earth waiting to be found. As a soul without a body to inhabit, you were left with nothing but your thoughts to measure the darkness. Eventually you start to move, where you have no clue but the journey does help you get a feel of your companions soul. It feels:
[]Tortured, their mind and body have been slowly warped by unending torture. They are now barely more that a beast of unending pain and rage
[]Corrupted, their body has been twisted by a outside force, using them as a puppet to further its own ends.
[] Driven, full of a inherent desire for power that has never been at risk of dimming
[]Tragic, they lost someone or something essential to them to the point the loss defines their existence,
[]Isolated, reaching out happily fueled on hopes of meeting another person, it was slowly succumbing to delusion
Long is the time it takes you to reach your destination, a familiar feeling tipping you off to your companions destination the Dark Tower a palace of knowledge for those that wanted to manipulate souls. Back when you were a general for the shadow empire you often came here to be brought up to date when you weren't doing your own personal research. A slight bitterness tinges the memories since its highly likely that like you everyone who had worked in the facility is dead. Dragged out of your thoughts, you felt your self being prepared to take over a new vessel and enter the land of the living, embracing the feel of your new mortal form...
Your new body is:
[] Human, A familiar nimble thing eager to return outside and explore.
[]Draconic, Something new and scaly adorned with large wings
[]Mutated, Twisted and unnatural designed to be better than the common man
[]Undead, You old one ravaged by the passage of time, a deep thirst fills it
[]Abomination, Dragged from the deeps of the black sea your limbs are different and many
[]Demonic, Exotic mix of man beast a with filled with a desire for elements of the earth
[]Appearance
After taking your time to slowly examine your new body and getting used to the weight of everything you start to raise. Bones and muscles popping and creaking as you get up standing at full height before deciding that the first thing to do with your new body is
[] Talk to the one who gave you a second chance at life
-[]What do you say
[] Go to another part of the Tower
-[] Roof
-[] Kitchen
-[] Library
[] Try to perform some magic

Might want to read through your posts a second time before posting them, it should help you catch some minor grammar errors, but I've seen much worse and the premise is interesting.

Upon gazing at the one who helped you find you way back to a living body your assessment of corruption was reinforced. A air of otherness clung to her being, her more unusual features easily catching your gaze, white skin with the color and glow of moonlight, hunters eyes shining brightly behind a veil two deep orange pools that spoke of more, many a piece of a endless whole.
Your inspection ended as you asked the thing that had been gnawing at you the entire trip "No offense meant or intent to sound ungrateful but why have you summoned me?"
"My lady

"We are Nero and would like your help in sealing the aspects of the 'bright ones' and forcing a wedge between them and the souls in there care"
"Bright ones?" you ask not remembering any race or species called that.
"They are a type of parasite from beyond the Maelstrom and what killed you and most of your men 40 years ago." She said simply "They Infest a host on this reality and modify them to take control off after they mature."
"I'm grateful for the clarification that the cause of my unexpected defeat" you say turning from her to face the rest of the room "but that doesn't explain why you just didn't walk inside the Tower I'm not sure why you need me yet."
"We actually tried that" the pale woman says with a positive tone "but the material we need is in one of the more restricted Archives and the guardians won't let us through without the kind of fight that would end with what we're looking for destroyed anyways"
"So I'm you basically revived me for a -"
"-retrieval job yes, though it was really the sudden influx of infected ones that made me want it in any kind of hurry"
"wait people are heading here?"
"Yeah a couple of knights from Lionguard their aspects are almost completely mature so they can easily fly over here in about two or three days or so."

It's been 40 years since we died and the first thing we need to do is protect and serve someone who brought us back from the dead.
This reminds me of those mobile card games, except, we're the monster card instead of the player.

-[X] Get used to your new body.
[X] Speak to Nero
-[X] Who does she work for?
-[X] Most of our men? Does that mean some of our compatriots are still alive?
-[X] What are we looking for, exactly?
-[X] Can she give us more details on the opposition?
Niña from the Spanish La Niña because I like the way it sounds, and also, it's a bit ironic since we did base her theme off of the Sun (Drought, El Niño) and then get her name from La Niña (Downpour). It's sort of a pun, I guess!
First priority should be getting used to our new body, but as much as I'd like to test all it's functions, information is valuable and I'd like to know who we're working with and what happened in that 40 year gap. Not necessarily in one huge info dump, I'm fine with a trail of bread crumbs too to avoid information overload.
Also, I'm assuming we can ask multiple questions, I'll go ahead and change if it turns out that we can't.

Your talk with Nero came temporarily to a close, as you headed to where you remember a arena to prepare for the challenges ahead. Forty years was a long time to be away from battle, away from soldiers, away from comrades. Starting over again would be difficult, even with the to tower to herself.
Minutes passed in silence, your steps kicking up dust as you walked down corridors and staircases that had been empty for decades. To fight as you remember, in harmony with your body you needed to know you limits and how you'd changed.
Making a final turn, you found the armory...or what was left of it with a coat of dust and rust over everything swords and spears, hammer and axes, shields and bows all lined up at the ready. Finding what she wants Nina grabs a
[] Pair of Gauntlets
[] Axe
[] Knife
[] Spear
[] Sword
[] Staff
[] Hammer
getting used to the weight, before going through some familiar motions as she imagined how she would face those hungry spirits, golden shades that wanted her soul. One plan after another flashing through her mind as she moved moved around the room attacking in the formations that came naturally. Her moves not as they should but close, quick attacks easily parting the air, while it wasn't the same it was familiar enough for her to settle into her old:
[] Dimachaerus Style, a school on duel-wielding weapons filled with her soul that ignores all physical defenses to attack the only thing that matters the soul. She would not block deflecting their weak strikes and avoiding what came too close. Her attacks would go beyond the flesh cutting off the connection between body and soul.[Focus: Dueling]
[] Andabata Style, a set of techniques designed for those that could read their opponents soul, all emotion and intent obvious to you making it easy to predict and redirect their attacks. Alone or against a group you are hard to surprise. Your movements are meant to lock down the enemy to the point all road leads to failure. [Focus: Crowd Fighting]
[] Thraex Style, It's not about winning its acquiring your opponents weakness so you don't lose, finding chinks in their armor, old and new wounds, things they would die defend. If it keeps you and your comrades alive you will find it. It doesn't matter if the opponent is a rival army or a raging beast all defenses will erode to nothing before your eyes.[Focus: Team fighting]
A simple joy came over Niña as she moved, setting her new body towards what she felt was right, each movement more effortless than the last, a haze motions that continued until Nero returned with food.
"Good quality ,no" Nero said setting up your meal "I promise you, Niña that body is of the highest quality possible"
"That's good to know but, I still have some things I'm curious about."
"Like what?"
"Well you said that the maelstrom only killed most of my men, so does that mean some of my compatriot are still alive?"
"Well kinda, most got caught up in the disaster and just got consumed or dragged away, a small band was able to escape about twenty or so. That's how I knew to get you actually they were able to recognize that you were doing some kind of mix of binding and soul sealing magic to not become a snack like the rest. But they couldn't really reach you to help out which is how I first got involved."
"So does that mean you work for whats left of the Black Company?"
"Less for and more with, I want to get rid of the sky ghosts and your the kind of person that can help with that. Plus even if that magic you cast was some kind of miracle, you would still be able to get information from the Tower and help against General Jubileus."
"Good to know I wouldn't be consider useless If I had nothing for the 'bright ones' by the way, what exactly are you looking for insider there anyways."
"Anything you could find on Soul Anatomy, Binding, Spell theory and Soul incompatibility, stuff like that should help since we're basically building a new spell ourselves" Nero exclaimed cheerfully.

Alone or against a group you are hard to surprise. Your movements are meant to lock down the enemy to the point all road leads to failure. [Focus: Crowd Fighting]
[] Thraex Style, It's not about winning its acquiring your opponents weakness so you don't lose, finding chinks in their armor, old and new wounds, things they would die defend. If it keeps you and your comrades alive you will find it. It doesn't matter if the opponent is a rival army or a raging beast all defenses will erode to nothing before your eyes.[Focus: Team fighting]
A simple joy came over Niña as she moved, setting her new body towards what she felt was right, each movement more effortless than the last, a haze motions that continued until Nero returned with food.
"Good quality ,no" Nero said setting up your meal "I promise you, Niña that body is of the highest quality possible"
"That's good to know but, I still have some things I'm curious about."
"Like what?"
"Well you said that the maelstrom only killed most of my men, so does that mean some of my compatriot are still alive?"
"Well kinda, most got caught up in the disaster and just got consumed or dragged away, a small band was able to escape about twenty or so. That's how I knew to get you actually they were able to recognize that you were doing some kind of mix of binding and soul sealing magic to not become a snack like the rest. But they couldn't really reach you to help out which is how I first got involved."
"So does that mean you work for whats left of the Black Company?"
"Less for and more with, I want to get rid of the sky ghosts and your the kind of person that can help with that. Plus even if that magic you cast was some kind of miracle, you would still be able to get information from the Tower and help against General Jubileus."
"Good to know I wouldn't be consider useless If I had nothing for the 'bright ones' by the way, what exactly are you looking for insider there anyways."
"Anything you could find on Soul Anatomy, Binding, Spell theory and Soul incompatibility, stuff like that should help since we're basically building a new spell ourselves" Nero exclaimed cheerfully.

Well, our appearance does depict us with two swords, so it's best if we go with that.
That said, finding a base of operations we can fall back to and hide in if things go south is top priority right now. I'd love to go diving into the tower already, but we have to prepare first and get used to combat with our new body and see what magic we have, amongst other things, before that.
Anyways, the updates really could use a beta-reader, Chimera. They're still enjoyable, but a little polishing won't hurt anyone.

Yeah sorry about any mistakes, I find it easier to write at night when I'm tired. But it has a side effect of my double check's missing stuff. I'll try and fix it up after some sleep

I chose spear because having more distance between yourself and a soul-devouring monster is always good and a spear can provide leverage and double as a staff.
