The faceless one is alone
==Description==
"they have been alone for a long time, After all they don't have a face to communicate with, so it refuses to try therefore it sits in nowhere. it makes faces, it takes faces, and they never fit, so he uses fake faces.no face, no mask is kept forever. a ringmaster takes these faces and spreads it to the carnival, they forget which masks are made and which faces they where born with.  a young girl lost her face at birth, took her mothers as a gift from the grave, her father damaged it, damaged her, so she called our faceless lord, and saw a reflection in its skin, and fell in love with the beast. a boy grows into a man, he never feels at home with his actions, so he makes other take his action, all faces for the job, he has a traveling show that you should only hear about and never see, for the puppet never leaves an audience behind."

- Of course that is only the myths and rumors i have gathered my dear friend, i do plan on expanding further in the package, but do be warned, this is quite the rabbit hole Maxwell

your good friend -S

==History==
for the most part the mask maker has very little on its existences, some small bits of stories on old scarps of paper are said to hold the secrets, i have gathered some here for you to see
-regards S

===music box===
a "music box" the father called it. for our dearest Cynthia, a kind gesture the horrible faceless thing assumes. maybe and apology for all scars that dotted her mask, and made her face cry so very much. but that matters not, the father runs away from Cynthia, her horrible friend protecting her from the monster that considered her a murderer for having her mothers face, and her mask. the Beast is offered a dance, before it can put on a mask she removes her face and mask, a reflection of each other. they dance together, not as lovers, friends, or family. instead they danced in understanding. Cynthia fell in love that night, and ascended the crown

===Lioness===
The lion tamer looked down at its sickly beast, the mighty lioness. Its once golden fur a dingy yellow, Her once proud eyes now a grey dull mess. As the tamer cried the ring master took up the boys whip and stuck him with it, 40 lashes to the back, the tamer never moved once during the entire lashing. The Ring Master Screamed and Thrashed until the tamer grabbed the face of the lioness and pulled it off. The Former ring master fell back as the crowd cheered at the show, the spectacle one never seen before, as the Lion Tongued dropped the tamers old face to the ground with a plastic clunk. The former ring master was then gutted, torn apart, and finally all consumed in front of the blood thirst crowd. donning the top hat the lion Heart finally unveiled what the crowd ... no the cult had already known. "LADIES GENTLEMEN AND THOSE IN BETWIXT, I WELCOME YOU TO BECOME PART OF OUR NEW FACELESS CIRCUS."

==Appearance==
It is said to have 8 arms and 4 legs, its skin is plastic and smooth. it never had a face, only ever masks. it has been deemed 'a dull grey that numbs the senses with but a simple glace.' its very body is said to morph and change with each mask it dawns for as long as the mask fits.

==Principles==
emotionless creation, false feelings, the mask you call you.

==Worship==
===Cult===
- my dear friend these are the main groups I was able to find on this faceless fellow, they were all hard to find let alone research. But seeing the document you hold before you mean that I have completed this task. enjoy the read.

The faceless royals wear no face nor mask, they believe that the beast should not have a face, for its facelessness is enough for their love. they call on discarded masks and place them on horrid homunculi to be used as beasts of war, to show the world that the only true monsters have faces. They are lead by Cynthia von Apple-bright the 5th, a noblewoman who hosts many masquerades of which no one without a mask leaves. She claims like all the names to have met the horrible faceless thing and have held a conversation with them. Cynthia, herself claims to have had a dance with the thing under romantic moons, some times she has claimed to be married to the beast to avoid suitors. she leads the faceless royals as a high society club, just a weird little thing in the background of big towns and cities. but they are oh so much more.


the carnies believe it will never find a face, that it will make masks for the whole world first, masks they can call faces. they use the masks for themselves, to become freaks that astound and creeps that mystify. some find these forms much more comfortable then the face they were given at birth, more free from the pressure from the monsters that forced them to keep their masks on. The leader of the carnies is of course the ringmaster, also known as the lion tongued. The Ringmaster has been known to have long chats with his mirror before long big top shows, most notably without a mask his reflection is also known to respond with masks from the mirror.


The puppets follow the masks they are given, when the mask falls off, they find peace until they find a new face, a new part to play, a purpose crafted to be thrown away. Of course, they chose what mask to pick up and must accept the responsibility for such actions as all fables must be followed, as all plays must be completed, and all puppet shows must be preformed. The puppet master tugs at his follower's fates, helping them find the masks that will make them happy and reach there a happy ending in the cold ground. The puppet master claims to be a puppet himself, a mere reflection of truly great power, a puppet master among puppets but a puppet among puppet masters.

===Mark===
# '''Temptation: Crisis: I've seen something i should not have, i do not feel like myself anymore.
# '''Dedication: Acceptance: I Understand why i am not the same as i was, but what am i?
# '''Ascension: Masquerade: I have peeked into the lands bellow and understand that life is not but a masquerade, but i shall forsake the masks i have worn for my own face. this is the third mark.
# '''Ascension: Phrase: I have torn my old face off. it has left no scars and for a few moments i truly felt like my self again, but it faded, but it was there. this is the fourth mark.
# '''Ascension: Phrase: I have built a mask, made from crude means as compared to what my face should be but it moves and talks just fine. this skill is known as the fifth mark.
# '''Ascension: Phrase: I find better faces each day, each face torn from the face of a thing undeserving of a face, they will never find me, i have to many faces to hide behind. but i still feel rather faint and i seem to be losing my pulse, is this the sixth mark?
# '''Ending''': I have died and gone to nowhere, where the the mask maker sits and toils. when its eyeless head its turned i steal a mask from its prime collection and return to life anew, my old face is forever gone from my grasp, my mask and i shall remain, until we part was again.
