Name: Unknown
Other Aliases: Usually he's just called Mask but occasionally "The Masked Man", "That Masked Guy", "Mask Guy" and a number of psuedonyms when he's in disguise.
Age: Appears mid-twenties
Species: Human? As near as we can tell.
Face Claim: Masked Hei from Darker than Black
Height: 5 foot 11
Weight: 11 and a half stone
Eyes: Unknown, the mask's are completely black
Hair: Dark brown and loosely spiked
Aura Color: His aura manifests as waves of grey rippling away from his body
Description:
Mask always seems to be wearing dark clothes, gloves, thick army boots and a long black coat. Physically he isn't all that imposing but he's clearly well trained judging by his militaristic demeanour and aptitude for strategy. His body language usually conveys little to nothing save a desire to kill if he stands in a fighting pose and a general disdain when standing normally. His mask is the most important part of his dress code as it came from the creature known as It and has since been slightly modified for Mask's use. The lightning bolt is symbolic and many assume he has some connections to Carniku Inuzuki as a result though he's done little to show this.
Personality: It's difficult to say, he seems to be very much goal orientated while lacking in a specific goal. Whatever he's planning, whatever he seeks to achieve, is a total mystery as he often seems to choose a course of action solely because it'll cause the maximum amount of damage. He's evil simply because of his active dislike for sentient life, he won't 'accidentally' get innocents caught in the crossfire he'll actively cause a crossfire. His main motivation appears to be, as far as anyone can make out, to cause as much pain and suffering to the heroes of Eden as is physically possible. He'll disadvantage himself if neccessary to ensure they feel pain, and that makes him the most dangerous kind of villain of all.
He doesn't want to have power, or control everything or even to WIN the fight. He just wants them to be hurt, he wants them to know loss and there is no knowing why he has this motivation. It's what leads him to seek out other 'evil' beings and work with them, even as a minion, provided it'll achieve his desire of hurting or damaging the heroes of Eden. He's also incredibly manipulative towards his goals, having an edge on other manipulators that he can stomach the idea of being tricked or coerced into things himself and appears to have control of his pride. In fact, all of his vices seem to be held in a firm grip and makes him a dangerous man to posess a Crystal of Iniquity. He has them certainly, in high quantities (no-one can hate as much as him without Wrath or Envy in their hearts), but he controls them perfectly.
He's got a certain dry wit and sardonic sense of humour.
Moral Alignment: Evil
Weapons and Equipment: Mask of It- The mask of the hideous creature known only as 'It', how Mask came by this item is unclear but as it was as much part of the creature as the air it breathed. It's face has bestowed a number of abilities unto Mask but most obviously it's a symbol and
Special Skills: Manipulating people into things; Mask's ability to get people to do what he wants is enhanced by his willingness to expose himself to extreme risk to achieve this end. He's also good at evoking emotional responses in people with his words as well as being a superb actor, his ability to feign innocence and emotion makes him very difficult to find when he's disguised. In terms of combat skill, he appears to have become proficient in at least one style and is skilled at hand to hand though not as good as the majority of warriors on Eden.
Relationship Status: None?
Family: Unknown
Place Of Birth: First appeared crawling from the desolate Wasteland on the South-Western Continent
History:
Not much is known about Mask, his appearance recently prying himself free from the soil of Eden implies he was dead before the world's collided but so little is known about him that it'd be foolish to conject.
What is known is a story from the Otherworld of the man who faced It and won. It was a creature composed of inky black matter, impossible to slay, impossible to battle, it was believed it would eventually break free of the Otherworld and return to Eden once more.
This man appeared, approached It and began to fight. The battle was short and it was long, they traded blows and nearly beat each other to death but eventually the mysterious powers of the man wore It down. And It was consumed, the man attached It's mask to his face and his name was forever decided.
He was Mask.
He hated Eden and all those who lived on it, he hated life itself, he hated death, whoever he had been, Hate had all but devoured the man's soul and now he had merged with the darkness itself to seek his revenge. Is he a man? Is he a ghost? It's impossible to know all we know is he wants to make Eden pay for some unknown crime and he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
Basic Abilities
Mask HUD- The mask of It allows Mask to sense the local area and track energy signals as well as find his bearings with a miniature map.
Drain waves- Blasts of anti-ki, striking a super human will make them feel drained and exhausted for a few moments, striking a normal human can render them comatose.
Telepathic Suggestion- An ability that only works on normals, it allows Mask to implant an idea in their head that they feel compelled to act upon regardless of what it is.
Shapeshift- A power of It, allows Mask to change his body into a form of the same size that looks completely different. Also changes his Ki signature so that he's not recognisable by anyone tracking him.
Vanish- By stepping into a shadow Mask can vanish and re-appear somewhere else entirely.
Advanced Abilities
Death Ray- An energy attack from his hand projecting Anti-Ki. He holds his palm out and a ray of grey light emanates out. The attack is fast, and most resembles a dull torch-light tinged grey in colour. While it's very quick to fire it takes a while to recharge between shots but the effect usually compensates for that. The effect on a normal human body is instant death, their ki is negated by the anti-ki and their souls obliterated, if they're strong enough to survive they pass into the other world but otherwise... On a super powered person the effects are far less severe, they merely find themselves drained and tired. It can provoke a transformation being broken if a Super Saiyan takes a fullon blast they often revert to a regular saiyan form. Noticably, the attack doesn't do damage to the body, only to the Ki and leaves the body otherwise unharmed. Mask can control the size and strength of the attack through willpower.
Energy Absorbtion- Holding out his palms, Mask's hands slowly shapeshift and develop crimson eyes and snapping mouths, when energy strikes his hands they absorb the ki into his body. He can't use it himself as his entire body is powered by Anti-Ki but it's neccessary for his Raise techniques so he keeps a healthy stock. He can use the ability directly by touching his hands to a living being and absorbing their ki directly. The downside to this is, of course, he has to stand his ground to absorb the attack. He can absorb Class I attacks relatively easily but for a Class II he often winds up taking collateral damage in the process. Because he can't use the Ki it doesn't help him to recover or gain his strength so any damage he does take is bad.
Raise Dead: Level 1- Otherwise known as the Quantity Raise. Mask usually does this by stamping on the ground and releasing the Ki he's saved up in a yellow wave. The ki floods into whatever dead bodies are in the area and drives them from the ground. These corpses are usually mindless zombies, clawing and attacking people and trying to obtain more ki to keep running. Noticably, the disease isn't contagious so he can't cause an outbreak only raise a certain number depending on the ki he posesses. Neither this nor Level 2 tires him since Mask doesn't use Ki, but it does drain his stock of Ki. They are relatively easily controlled through telepathy.
Raise Dead: Level 2- Otherwise known as the Quality Raise. Mask chooses a dead body and lays his hands on it bringing the creature back to life but at what cost!? yeah, but no, it's a grey skinned monster. While it retains some sense of it's personality and a vague sense of it's skills it's still an undead creature and lacking in versatility. He can't bring back someone properly without a Crystal of Iniquity to power this skill. Interestingly, the creature is only as strong as the Ki he has available to use and so he could raise a real warrior of tremendous strength who would be 1/10th of the strength because of Ki reserves. They follow orders but depending on how much strength they have they resist (a full revive would have no compulsion to obey at all)
March of the Dead- Where people have died, where blood has been spilt, Mask is stronger. The remnants of their death infuses him with greater strength and makes him stronger, faster. Standing in a field where only grass has died he's slightly stronger than a normal human, a city with three butchers? As strong as a Saiyan. An old Battlefield where hundreds died? Well, he's pretty damn strong. But if people died recently? If, say, he just wiped out hundreds of civilians with a timed explosive? He gets an instant power boost and can fight on par with Eden's Finest. It's one of the reasons he keeps his Death Ray charged, a quick boost in power. Noticably, the effect runs out, he uses up the 'dead energy' of sorts and eventually is back to Square 1 if you can survive that long.
Ultimate Abilities
Return of It- Mask's ultimate technique, he's not so much reluctant to use it as selfish. He'd rather hurt them himself than let the monster have all the fun. Essentially, his essence vanishes and returns to the Western Continent and his body becomes It's. The black mishapen body of goop and the plain white mask. It's amorphous physiology and power to control energy has been altered by Mask, it now emits weakening rays of anti-ki at all times and is prone to devouring people to stockpile energy. It can be stopped, beaten down by force and if it's mask (which is made of an incredibly tough substance) is cracked it instantly dissolves but the problem is the power just returns to Mask who is now somewhere else entirely. It in this form is incredibly strong and capable of generating weaponry out of it's body to damage and attack foes while growing in size. In practical terms, It dissolves after 15 minutes as the power returns to Mask rather than risk It gaining true freedom.
