Memories survive, and personality will be the most useful of the character's assets. The essence of your character remains the same. The character thus has no single "true" form. It can even exist on two or more planes of existence at once. The character's life force (which mortals can rarely see, even magically) can assume any form convenient to the time and place. The character's material form was not destroyed, but merely changed, and can be created again.
