I thought it was a mobile city kinda like a floating fortress or a mobile continent, still with its own civilians and/or army. Is that still wrong?

Menarker, the concept's fairly solid. I'd suggest dropping the Prelude to Phantasm ability though, since it's a bit outside of the main theme and looks like it'd be problematic to handle. Secondly, no invulnerability while asleep. Ridiculously tough, yes. Invulnerable, no.

I'll take out Prelude to Phantasm. No problem with editing down to ridiculously tough.
On a related note though, I was wondering if you have any ideas for how to intergrate the idea of sleep-walking/talking/fighting into the character. (But not as a default state.)

The backstory's a little troublesome though. One of the basic concepts of this setting was 'no faceless mooks'. There are a lot of people who, when faced with a meddling demigod, would beat it up.

I found the backstory a little troublesome to write myself.
I guess I would have a few suggestions as to why/how it could be justified...
A: This happened a long while ago and they have gotten much stronger/better since then. (Of course assuming you have no problem with Pier's being 800 years old.
B: They are great at fighting, but an aura which bypasses typical armor just makes Piers a mismatch against simply armed soldiers. The priests and faith users who would have been a tremendous threats were the ones in danger who stood to benefit from any timely intervention.

Of course, this brings up my next big question. How is my primary technique , State of Perpetual Rest, going to operate in this setting where there seems to be no real difference in personal strength among NPCs? It is the ability by which my entire character and his functions are based around.
If they are all incredibly strong minded and viligant enough to resist sleep and drowsiness then the very core basis of my character is gone and he's basically just a human bear with counterspells and a team ability.

This sort of thing is also why there's not much large scale organisation.

You mean among the spirits or among the humans or in general? Is there any functional limitation why that is the case or is it just a coincidence that everyone tend to organize themselves as smaller groups and never seem to actually gather any larger?
