Homebrew Faceless Species Details

Masks and Robes

The masks of the faceless are said to have been made by the Mask Maker, a reclusive deity of many faces and many limbs that endlessly labours over this task. Their mask, each one
unique from the thousands of others, is what defines the faceless and contains their soul. Masks can have various designs: most are plain white with only minimal designs, but
some have been seen with vivid colours, intricate designs or protruding elements. When a faceless dies, their mask crumbles to dust. Faceless have humanoid bodies that they prefer to cover with long robes. Their skin colour varies in shade, usually corresponding to their mask, and feels unnaturally rigid and smooth. Their construction means that faceless do not require basic human needs, such as eating and sleeping, nor do they bleed. In addition, though they have no mouth, they can speak and breathe normally. Despite their alien nature, resting, healing magic and medicine function as normal.

The Journey
All faceless embark on the Journey, whatever form that might take. This spiritual calling is engrained in all members of this race and they believe it is the path to enlightenment. For some faceless, the Journey might lead through acquiring arcane knowledge, ensuring the prosperity of a grove or ending the life of a certain powerful being. Whatever the case, faceless devote themselves to it entirely and will rarely deter from their set path. Different callings often mean that members of this race do not stay together for long. No faceless has been known to have completed the Journey, leading many to doubt it ever can be finished.

Wonder and Indifference
When they are created, faceless are blank slates: neutral and stoic, they do not concern themselves with the many troubles of everyday folk. The Journey, with its many small wonders, is
the path through which they come to experience elation. However, through many years of exposure to happenings and individuals, they will drift towards certain ideals and goals, though never quite leaving behind their indifferent nature. Creatures of not many words, faceless express their thoughts plainly and simply, or not at all if they deem a swift death the better solution.

Quirks
Their separation from this world means that faceless often exhibit behaviours unusual to others. A faceless player can choose to roll or select a quirk from the Faceless Quirks table.
Faceless Quirks:
d10                              Quirk
1                      You convey emotion through a physical signal, such as finger movements or the colour of your arcane focus.
2                      You could spend hours watching an ordinary occurrence, such as a liquid fizzing.
3                      Your voice is always monotone, even in moments of heigntened emotion.
4                      You sometimes start conversations with inanimate objects.
5                      You barely feel pain.
6                      Inequality is unnatural to you: you treat kings in the same way as servants.
7                     Certain mundane happenings or objects are somehow hilariously funny to you.
8                     You are unresponsive to things others would find incredibly disgusting.
9                     You read or observe from an unusual angle, claiming that it offers valuable insight.
10                  You wear masks on top of your mask, so nobody is really sure what your real mask looks like.
