Mask Physiology

From The Codex

Angels

Summary

Mask: Masks are code encrypted mask that 'hack' into the wearer's brain and initiate commands. After someone puts on a Mask, they will begin to develop various physical enhancements and given a weapon or a high level skill. The most common enhancement shown is great strength and destructive force, almost every mask has been able to overpower any regular human they come across. However, not all Masks are equal, most can be beaten with numbers or out smarted by taking advantage of their programming. The Strong Masks however, are much more dangerous. In fact, anyone other than a Candidate for God or another Strong Mask has little to no hope of beating them. There are various different types of mask including:

  • Smiling Mask: Smiling Mask, otherwise known as 'Angels', are the most commonly seen mask type. These masks are known to have three main commands, Despair, Murder, and Suicide.
  • Angry Mask: Angry Masks have been given specific instructions or roles in the High Rise Realm. Their purpose is to prevent the termination of the realm or the creation of god. As of now there are three known Angry Masks, Dealer Mask and the Soldier Mask, and Miko Mask. Unlike the smiling mask, they are able to talk and seems to have a retained consciousness. They are also referred to as Guardian Angels. They do not attack humans unless they sense hostility or an attempt at their life which activates the Protect Command, an order to kill that human. They have knowledge of the locations of vital items through a special program inputted in their masks. In certain cases they are allowed to reveal information to humans, such as defective masks and how to resolve them.
  • Emotionless Mask: Emotionless Mask are Non-Combatant types Masks who provide supplies to those in the High Rise Realm They seem to have also retained the ability to talk as in the case when one of them met with Sniper Mask and Kuon and explained that the one who will become the perfect God of the realm will have his or her desires satisfied, he also wished Kuon good luck as he left them.

Uses

Resistances

Weakness

  • Suicide Command: When a mask takes off their mask for an extended period of time or when their mask is broken, the 'Suicide Command' forces the mask to terminate themselves.
  • Hibernate Command: In the case of a defective mask where multiple commands overlap and fails to work, and the user becomes unable to be controlled because it is resisting, a Hibernation mode is executed. It gradually suspends the life activity of the wearer to kill it within two weeks. It is a compulsory program to eliminate Angels with defects.
  • Despair Command: The Despair command tells the wearer to inflict despair on humans so that they will lose hope and kill themselves by jumping off the high rise buildings. This is counterintuitive in many scenarios as it allows the humans to manipulate the mask via giving them the idea that they're going to commit suicide.

God Candidates

Summary

  • God Candidates: God Candidates are also known individually as a Person Who Became Closer to God, having had the required code installed in their brains via the wearing of the Faceless Mask. They are those who become, literally, candidates to be god: the ruler of the realm of Tenkuu Shinpan and enforcer of its rules and customs, which were all created by an unknown entity for the express purpose of creating a god. The one who becomes the perfect god will have all of his or her desires and wishes fulfilled, as possible by the rules of the realm. The god has even been said to be able to resurrect the dead, but this is never confirmed, and the information came from the Adminstrator, who may have simply been trying to manipulate the candidates. Those who have become god candidates receive abilities which are installed in their brains. Despite installation, they each have to put in the effort to recall and decompress the mental information pertinent to the activation of their abilities. It is also shown that persons who have become closer to god can confirm each other's candidacy through physical contact, as seen between Kuon and Yuri, who shook hands. Kuon felt Yuri's wavelength and knew for sure she was also like her -- a God Candidate.
    • Faceless Mask: Faceless Masks are Masks which hold the code to becoming closer to god. Upon wearing this mask the wearer will need approximately 10 minutes to install the information. After the installation is completed an order to destroy the mask is automatically executed and cannot be disobeyed. Unlike other Masks, the 'Faceless Mask' respects the free will of the wearer. The Mask writes various abilities into the brain including, 'Ability to Manipulate'. These abilities however will be 'compressed' within the person's brain and requires 'Chemistry' or the person's ability to recall the information to 'de-compress' it and activate the ability. Thus there will be those who are closer to god that are unable to wield their abilities.

Uses

Weaknesses

  • Suicide Command: If a God Candidate no longer wants to be a god candidate they will be given an order to kill themself.
  • Stamina: While masks amplify your strength they don't amplify your stamina.
