"To no one's surprise, Maskless beings are pretty closely related to Faceless and the "Flexile Family", buuuuut I guess the main difference between Faceless and Maskless is that Maskless are in-fact, NOT Living afterlives at all! No-No, Freya learned that Maskless beings are not created by Maxwell, but instead, created by the "Primordial Gods" and are an extremely rare sight to behold! They are not alive or dead, but their soul and body is one! Maskless are spiritual shapeshifters (something faceless lack) that take on many forms to disguise themselves! Let it be big-big dragon, small bitey kobold, or short looking human. Maskless have almost all the benefits of a faceless, but without an anchor. Although this means they lack a weak point, but still have the shield-y thingy, and the... Damage by percent STUFF that I heard weird noodle lady talk about. That and Maskless beings cannot absorb souls into them, nope, they can only eat "spiritual energy" which is apparently a part of their main diet, but they can't starve like a faceless can! Everyone is so scared of the squiggly thing Thomza truly is, but they're my gooey and freaky monster, and that's a-okay with me!" ~Freya Materia

HEADS UP, this is a sequel to this post here: What Exactly Are Faceless?

Freya's post might seem a bit, odd and all over the place, but that's fully on purpose. She does her best when writing "Data Logs" to explain bits and pieces of the setting. Although admittedly, she still sums it up pretty well, but there are a few things that can be elaborated on and things she also got wrong:

Maskless, Faceless, and Demons all belong in the "Flexile Family", the Flexile Family are beings whose soul is combined with their main body. Meaning if their body is destroyed, so is their soul as well. This is not at all exclusive to Maskless entities.

Certain Faceless are very capable of shapeshifting, but their disguise is terrible in comparison to a Maskless being. Although Maskless can usually freely evolve without having to hit certain limits and can revert to various forms to suit their needs.

Noodle Lady refers to "Asha"

A confusing line is one that follows, "Although this means they lack a weak point, but still have the shield-y thingy, and the... Damage by percent STUFF that I heard weird noodle lady talk about.", Maskless scale to their opponent's strength levels. If there are more of them? They will scale up accordingly similar to that of a faceless entity. Maskless also similar to faceless have a "damage per second" cap which cannot be exceeded and makes them purely invulnerable. Think of it almost as "I-Frames" and they also cannot exceed a certain percentage of their health. Maskless beings do not have an anchor or a skull, and any part of their body can take damage despite these two beings looking similar once the Maskless entity removes their disguise.

"Spiritual Energy" is a term created by Asha when discussing the diet of a Maskless entity. Faceless simply absorb their prey and add them into an almost hive-mind like structure that's withheld in their body. Usually overwriting whatever personality, the person once had as a direct increase in power and capability. Maskless on the other hand can consume souls, breaking down personality, mind and spirit as well as being able to learn absolutely everything that person once was. (No surprise, Thomza hates the very notion of this.) Although the catch is that it's memories of that said person, and sometimes their perspective can be warped making some of this data absolutely useless. Maskless although will "power up" when consuming souls and spirits but will not starve to death unlike faceless entities. Although it can take many years for a faceless being to starve and fodder are usually in an infinite state of limbo. The bigger the faceless, the more hunger pains they will go through until inevitably they will collapse on themselves. Maskless beings though need "Spiritual Energy" however to pull off extremely great feats such as using Scriptwrighting effortlessly while Faceless do not.

...and yes, that is honestly quite a lot to go over, but I think it should help clear a few things up. Stuff that the small data-post could not possibly describe in greater detail. If you have any more questions? Please do feel free to ask, and I thank you for reading everybody! Have a wonderful day!

Disclaimer and Copyright: These characters involved, and the artwork belongs to me, TwistedHensley. The Skin to Scales Universe also belongs to me there, TwistedHensley... You get the drill. I want to point out that this is an Epic Dark Fantasy setting with a lot of mythological and religious tones and that there is no real-life connection to any of these events, religions, characters and it is fully, grounded, in fantasy. There is no copyright infringement also intended to other forms of media as Skin to Scales is meant to be its own thing and something I've been working on for a very long time. This is the same setting where faith is a massive part of the magic system, and it is usually meant to have a very bright and colorful art style to help balance the tone.
