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 maskis 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, damged damaged her, so she called our faceless lord, and saw a reflection in its skin, and fell in lovewith 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.
===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

==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
===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
===Principles===
emotionless creation, false feelings, the mask you call you.
==Worship==
===Cult===
The faceless royals wear no face nor mask, they belive believe that the beast should not have a face, for its facelessness is enoughfor 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 Applebright the 5th, a noble woman 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 her self claims to have had a dance with the thing on dates, 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 be come freaks that astound and creeps that msytify. some find these forms much more comfortable then the face they where given at birth, more freeing from the pressure from the monsters that forced them to keep their masks on. The leader of the carnies is of course the ringmaster
The puppets follow the masks they are given, when the mask falls off, they find peace until they find a new face, new part to play, a purpose crafted to be thrown away
