Homebrew Eyes of Mask Species Details

"Brother Eye is giving me the creeps, these supposed blessed former worshipers of Mask are truly bizarre."

— A mercenary talking about a Eyes of Mask

While Mask the god of Shadows and thievery lost his power in the past, some whisper of his return, though this is complete nonsense as Mask(or Lessinor as info reveals) is basically dead for good, this mad belief is so powerful in some that Cyric(who received his power) granted the people a "blessing" that though Cyric bestowed it upon them they are in a mad belief that the form they now take is the doing of their dead God Mask.

Eye, Eye, Eye

Eyes of Mask stand about the same size as a human of average height, they have hair and their body is very similar to humans or Elves depending on legends of them. they're easy to spot however from the front as their face is a dark grey mask with a black hole which in lies 9 eyes, 8 white dots with a center eye, the sides of the center eye are purple, while the center part is red. they wear black alot to honor their dead god. and they usually commune through their hands, or through actions and charades.(they're very good at conveying complex messages or silent signals.)

Eternal Gaze

Eyes of Mask are gifted with a long life span that usually is the same as elves, but there are some who live to be 5 times that.

Apple of Eyes

Thanks to Cyric the Eyes of Mask usually don't stay around eachother, they can mate but it seems despite their adoration of the blessing they've been giving they usually mate with humans or elves of the opposite sex. Offspring are of the race they bred with, for the blessing does not pass fully onto the child, they instead gain a slight boost to their age that they die at.

Exploration and Adventure

Eyes of Mask take to adventuring like a fly to Honey, sure they sometimes form groups of villages, even Kingdoms, but they like testing their skill more(most of the time, like humans and elves their diverse) They also can be hired as bodyguards or sentries(especially the last one.)
