The Yōkai

Your patron is a living legend. Once humanoid they surpassed their limits to confront the tyrannic forces supressing your people. This beings intentions were shaped by their struggles against higher powers and thus their moral code is strictly aligned with the goal they are pursuing. As their warlock, you might feel like a tool, a cog in your patron's machinations. But you should always remember that your patron has been humanoid once too. Whatever their goal may be, they cherish freedom and individuality a lot and any sacrifice you take for them will be acknowledged.

Bonus Proficiency

At 1st level, you gain proficiency in your choice of hacking tools or thieves' tools.

M for Mask

As an action you can create a mask on your face, resembling your patrons persona. This mask cannot be removed from your face, unless you dismiss it at the end of a short or long rest or another creature uses an action to do so while you are incapacitated. Such a creature must succeed on a Strength check against your warlock spell save DC and if it succeedes, the mask dissipates. Once the mask has been removed, you cannot create it again until you have finished a short or long rest.

While wearing the mask, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on ability checks, to remain undetected. This includes checks you make to remain undetected when using hacking tools.
• You have advantage on Charisma checks directed at creatures not knowing your identity.

You lose these benefits, if your mask is concealed.

Unwavering Commitment

Fighting for your patron's cause fills you with a sense of being part of something greater. At 6th level, you learn how to instill the importance of success in others. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you inspire yourself and a number of other creatures up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to exceed their limits. Once until their next rest, when an affected creature fails an ability check, they may reroll the check.

Encrypted Thoughts

Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means and your memories can't be altered by creatures other than yourself while you are wearing your mask. Additionally, while wearing your mask, you can use an action to remove any of your memories as if removed by the modify memory spell. While you are not wearing your mask, these memories are inaccessible and cannot be restored by any means. While wearing your mask, your memories are restored for as long as you keep your mask donned.
You can have up to three memories removed at once this way, where each memory can be at most 10 minutes long. When you finish a short rest with your mask donned, you can touch your mask to restore all your memories from your mask to your conciousness and regain the three uses of this feature. If another creature removes your mask, it will live through the memories within the mask as part of the action it used to remove the mask.

Yōkai's Hex

Starting at 14th level, your mask becomes a conduit of your duty. While wearing your mask, your passion for your cause changes your appereance to more resemble your patron. You might grow fur or feathers and other cosmetics of your choosing.
Additionally, while wearing your mask, you can cast the hex spell at will at it's lowest level without components, without holding concentration and it's duration lasts until your mask is removed. You can only affect a single creature with your Yōkai's Hex and if you cast it on a new creature, your Yōkai's Hex on any previous target ends.
You have advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check you make to find the target of your Yōkai's Hex and any check you make with your hacking tools or thieves' tools to close in on it. You also know the horizontal direction to your targets location. If you see the target of your Yōkai's Hex within 30 feet of you or if it is within 30 feet of an electronic device you have access to, you can telepathically speak to your target, percieve clearly what it says and you can read your target's thoughts and probe deeper into them as with the detect thoughts spell.
