Description

Mask

A small hunched creature with wrinkled gray skin, squinting black eyes, long pointed ears and nose, and long, delicate fingers. He wears a black leather bodysuit attached to his his flesh with hooks, rivets, chains, and studs. He smells faintly of tulips.

Storytelling Hints

Martin loves his music and enjoys the nightlife. He is perfectly happy to blend into the human crowd and live his life. He is generous almost to a fault but also has a fierce temper and a spiteful streak a mile long, so those who cross him or take advantage of him find themselves at the brunt of curses and malfunctions.

Background

Karl was a medical student at Berkeley who was grabbed one night while working late on a cadaver. He spotted his Keeper stealing a body and was taken for his impetuousness. He was forced to assist in the reanimation of corpses and the creation of twisted chimerical creations before he was able to escape by killing one of the goblins working for his Keeper and wearing his skin. On his return, he found himself unable to kill his fetch and reclaim his life and opted instead to start anew. He claimed the identification of a dead homeless man named Martin Cale and pursued his other love: music. He's become a well-known and liked member of the rave community and still uses his medical skills on the side to help people who need a way out of trouble (abortions, simple surgeries, etc) or a good piercing or tattoo.
