The Masked People [Human-ish Roleplay]

The Masked People

[/size][/center]

The Masked People are not normal people. They are creatures like no other. Although they have the appearance of a human, they have the extraordinary power to control sand, the very substance that their very village - Facade - is surrounded by. Inside, or out, there is no shortage of sand. All creatures know this, and most have become accustomed to that; even fish.

The Masked People possess many strange rules, and an even stranger language. Not many can understand them; only those that have a pure heart may have the privilige to understand such a language. It often amazes people how these people work, and how they create the masks that always linger somewhere on their head - mostly the face.

Just as strange is the clothes that they wear. It always seems to be some sort of dress - regardless of gender - decorated with odd metal plates in all shapes, and sizes. On their feet, nothing is worn; just skin. It amazes people how they can stand on stone, and not feel a thing. Another object that guards, and a few other ranks possess is a wooden staff. At the top, there is always gold decorations hanging off, made by the king, and queen themselves. It is a great honour to be given something by the high ranks, and it is just as great to be close to those high ranks.
