Species

General Info​

Old Summoner Masks possessed by demons / spirits gain bodies resembling a large lizard dragon. They are made of the deepest and darkest elements and can easily morph their body into the shadows and dissolve into the environment. They use this method to hide or teleport to places. Once the body is unseen the mask will fade along with it until only the eyes remain. They have the ability to travel much faster than usual like a spirit. They are genderless creatures.

They can speak but don’t move their jaws at all and instead, can hear them whispering or just talking inside ur head. They rarely speak up and commonly just make noises with the jaw ( crackle between the jaw , rattle sound from the trinkets , any creepy noises ) or roar to their heart’s content.  It’s roar has a very loud tone to it and can actually sting for a while, similar to the reaction from a huge explosion close to your ears. Very deadly roars are only used to stun their prey and it has no effect against others of their kind.

Every single one of them obtains powers such as summoning the shadows , teleportation , invisibility , and the powerful roar . But each mask has unique powers and qualities ( this will be of your choosing )

lore

In dark days the people began to believe many kinds of traditions. One day someone made a mask decorated with colors and accessories to resemble their ancestor as respects and to ask for help in the dark hours . They performed a dance whilst wearing the mask and unfortunately summoned a spirit who demanded sacrifice and took the dancer’s life as tribute for helping the people on that day. People began carving the masks more to the spirit’s shape for blessings and luck. Ever since then their lives were much better but followed a dark ritual.

Many centuries passed and they abandoned the tradition until the old mask awoke by itself, searching for the tribe who had abandoned and forgotten the ritual. Many masks laid dormant after their carving and await to be possessed and awoken.
