I think (possibly) that we got the “Ancients are embarrassed by physical transformation” storyline for exactly this reason. Original Azem follows their heart - and doesn’t mind stepping outside the norms. The stuffy Ancients say that Azem is weird.

My bet is that Azem takes our form (or something very, very similar) and says that this is how they feel most like themselves. It could turn out not that Azem looks like us, but that we look like Azem. So, when/if we meet them, they just use our model with a few light changes.

Or, if the time travel theory holds true - Azem looks like us, because we are literally Azem. We go back in time to finish the loop. We adventure around the world of the Ancients. We eventually meet Venat and all our buddies. We cause trouble. We laugh, we cry. And then we get sundered - starting the whole cycle all over again. (Although I think it’s possible the writers are working toward an “out” on that, so our WOL can keep on adventuring after. Look to G’raha for possible answers, I think.)
