The Masked

The Masked

The Masked, is a cult group that originated on the outskirts of the Nebula region. They worship the parasite, claiming them as gods that deserve control of the universe. There is barely anything known about them, other than that they wear silver colored masks that cover the top half of their face. This mask, is made of an unknown substance that sticks to your face, and becomes your face. Merging your facial features into it, such as eyebrows and facial structure. If it is taken off at this point, it would likely rip off your face unless you use magic.

They are claimed to be another version of human. Ruthless, fast, and strong. They rape and kill their victims. Their speed is unmatched by many living beings on exodus, even comparable to the Urban Legend of M-I-3. This allowed them to achieve black-ops operations, infiltrating the Jargon Warship as it was exploring the deep side of the Nebula Region.

Every single one of them, is born a warrior. Going through difficult training as soon as they can walk, it gets harder each day. The punishments being as severe as a public whipping for even sass. Most believe in the parasitic religion as extremists before they turn 5.

Despite claiming the parasites are gods, they manage to use protective gear when handling them. Claiming if they are ‘chosen’, they would not be able to spread the glory of the parasites. It is said that they use a different branch of Kaulasian, a dark one. Their founders, the ‘Tellers’, being the main masters in such. Able to compete against even Naomi Duran. It is said that there are around a dozen Tellers, however they are rarely seen even by the emperor.

Considered the ‘Administrators’ of the empire, they watch over the empire and who will rule it next. If a teller were to come after a mask, they would surely never be seen again. At Least, that is how it goes. Deserters are whipped until death, publicly. Their former brothers in arms forced to cheer for the death and torture of the deserter.

The leaders of The Masks, are of course, the Tellers, The Emperor, and the Commandant. There are governors, and generals, however they are not as respected as the commandant. Then, there are Masks, Auxiliaries (Masks in training, e.g.: Children), and finally, slaves & whores.

The Empire is formed off of a distant planet, which is more magicly based than Science. The planet originally covered in tribesmen, the Empire pillaged and raped the competing tribes. Forcing women to be housewives, whores, and servants for the empire. Restricting anyone, not even a mask, to see the blueprints to their weapons, which is mainly based off of sharp swords made out of an unusual metal, the blades able to slice a man with Kevlar in half, whilst having the ability to break a normal medieval sword if swung at full speed.
