A lot of that is basically what I've been silently theorizing for a while.

That being said, I mean if you're really empathetic you can understand the Ascian desire for a host. Even assuming they weren't at some point mortal, they're aether balls. Their senses are different entirely - physically, what can they feel? What can't they feel? Just like with some of the Voidsent, they, too, may seek some of those senses they are unable to have in their true forms. I'm not trying to justify it, I'm just musing.

And if we add the guess that some Ascians were mortal at some point? That's quite possibly even sadder, since they will have lost their original forms and can no longer exist in the state they were comfortable with. They'll get over it eventually, but I'm sure it was very challenging at first.

I actually would find it very interesting if we met a willing Ascian host at some point. We fight trying to save them, only to learn they don't want to be saved.
