Bio of the Mask:
Some say The Mask was was apparently created in the unknown past, at an unknown time, by an unknown tribe that originated in unknown Africa. The shamans of the tribe used ancient African techniques of secret and mystical knowledge, using a kind of magic that was infused and used in the creation of the not ordinary mask, which was made of jade and originally used in ancient rituals performed by that tribe. When it was used, its bearer is impregnated with fictional magical reality and gains physical impermeability and skills similar to those of a cartoon character, such as being able to pull random objects out of nothing and extending one's body and limbs far beyond human limits because it teach some people to kill other people when it knows what other people especially when they hurt them.
Others say that the Mask was created between the end of the 4th century AD and the beginning of the 5th century AD by Loki, the Norse god of fire and mischief in the northern lands of Europe in Asgard, supposedly of Scandinavian origin. Some very old texts describe Loki as a night god and a nocturnal creature, which fits perfectly with the unordinary mask and its method of functioning, since it only works at night and stops functioning at sunrise.
The Mask grants power to it's host, but at the cost of their sanity.
Lee's Story:
Lee, a shy and insecure individual who was shunned about his personality. When he was young, he was bullied by popular kids, be it boys and girls. He never had confidence and he never showed his true potential. In class, whenever a question is asked, he does his best to not answer, fearing if he'd get it incorrect, kids in his class will laugh at him. He never had any friends. He was ridiculed all the time.
His parents loved him, although, he never shared his concerns at school but let it continue. Inside he wanted it all to stop. His father bought up that they will need to move as he secured a better job at a magical town in Canada, called Crystalville. The town was hidden and only showed itself to those who had potential, albeit humans, with no sense of magical knowledge, like Lee and dad, but his mother was a sorceress. Lee's wish came true and it will all stop.
They moved a week later after his father announced the news. It was pretty easy to settle in Crystalville as they bought a house quickly before moving. When Lee's family arrived, Lee was astonished by magic users around him. They weren't all exactly humans. Some citizens were Vampires, Angels, Demons, Neko's and other creatures lived such as Nymphs and Sirens as well as Elves. No sign of hero's like in the comics.
After a week passed by, Lee still didn't make any friends at his new school, as he didn't learn or study magic prior to moving. He went into a library on his way home, after school to get a beginner friendly magic guide. What interested him was Conjuration, Restoration and Lightning. Once he exited the library, he looked towards an antique pawn shop. Something drawn his attention. The object he saw glowed from one part of it's face to another. It looked triangular, green and wooden. It had 2 holes for the eyes above and one above it's chin for the mouth. An iron strip ran from the head, in-between the eye holes, and stopped above the mouth. This was the bridge and the nose, completed with 4 iron nails which held it in place and at the forehead was the circular crest with the L signifying it belonged to the Norse God of Mischief Loki.
Tempted to buy the mask, he ran into the shop and enquired about it. The shop owner hesitated in selling it to him, but saw he had a kind heart and gave him a warning. To use it wisely, as it could drive him insane. He purchased the mask and ran back into an alley so he could try it on. He put it to his face and as he did, the mask tried to glue itself to him before removing the mask. He looked at the mask in shock assuming it was a mistake in buying that. He knew that on this mask, there was a no refund policy.
At home, he decided to read the books he borrowed from the library. Jasper, his cat, tried to get his attention and hissed at him, then looked back at the mask, before running under his bed afraid. He watched Jasper's antic's before stopping what he was doing. He paced over to the mask, picked it up and looked directly into it. It glowed from the left and disappeared as it reached the other side. Jasper peeked from under the bed watching and hissing. Lee slowly raised the mask to his face and put it on. The mask glued to his face and began to envelope his whole head. He tried to remove it but it was too late. It was painful as it pressed against his skull and his eyes bulged. He let out a painful scream. His parents heard him, and his father decided to see what was going on. His father opened the door seeing Lee scratching his face, before spinning like the Tasmanian devil. Lightning roared from him as his father saw his skeleton glow as he carried on spinning. He then stopped as he placed his hand on his father's shoulder. His face was now all green, all bald.
His father looked at him in horror and didn't know what to do.
He left his room, jumping out of the window.
His father stood there confused, and thought he was born cursed, as he used his powers, but against himself.
He walked the streets minding his own business, donned the green face of his stroke evil intentions with the necromancers. In Crystalville, necromancy was banned. Necromancers practiced this dark art freely, even without the authorities placing limits.
As the necromancers approached, Noah as the mask, automatically knew what was in their hearts. Noah smiled maliciously at the evil mages while they gave him a death stare. He pulled two mini guns from thin air and shot at the necromancers killing them. He threw the guns away, looking at the necromancer's dead bodies.
He thought with the powers he was gifted with, he could be a super hero. This city really needed one as there was a lot of mage and witches. He really didn't need to learn magic now, because the mask has actually granted him the powers he really needs to succeed. The mask knew instantly that Noah had a good heart and decided not to tamper with his sanity, making him it's favourite host.
The next morning he woke up in his bed thinking everything that has happened was a dream and needed to lay off gaming and cartoons. He got ready for school. Before he left he looked at the mask and thought about throwing it away. He decided to keep the mask instead as he will never know when he may need it.
By the time he finished school, he decided to look for an apprenticeship. He landed one as a manager for in telecoms which he enjoyed. After his apprenticeship, he got promoted to head of operations where he worked at the corporate office. He still uses The Mask's powers to help innocent people get out of trouble and prevent crime. The police hates him for doing their work, but could never work out the identity of who the actual person even is.
