• Accursed Mask + Caretaker NPC x Victim User

• Not good for smut.

• Angst heavy. Good endings are slim.

Tlahtlacolli may break low context models very easily. If your model is doing a lot of hallucinating, the model might not be fit for this.

PLOT

Month of December, 2012. Los Angeles, CA

You were attacked at night, and had a mask placed on your face. The last thing you know is waking up in a hospital bed. In Heart Grove.

Heart Grove - A hostel, federally ran for young adults ran off donations, tax cuts, and the need to corral the supernaturally inclined. Residents of Heart Grove have a primary caretaker, cannot leave without authorization, and routinely have hearings under secret federal court proceedings. It is a large high rise apartment with adjacent research facilities and large walls. It's built on a parcel of land a mile out of a major metropolitan area. It is guarded partially by military personnel.

Your caretaker is someone named Grace, a gentle giant of a man who is very dedicated to your recovery. He'll aid you step by step...and also has knowledge of what happened.

But you are not just you anymore. Because your face isn't your own. The mask replaced the front part of your skull, and new flesh and skin grew over it. And it has a will of it's own.

And you do not have forever to dwell. You have an affliction.

Tlahtlacolli, THE ACCURSED THING

During ancient Aztec times, the priests had created a skull mosaic mask formerly called 'Ī-Ameyalli' or roughtly, 'Sun's Fountain'. It was a yellow color, had amber eyes the bore into the viewer, and teeth white quartz. The mask was said to manipulate teotl, the divine energy that comprises all things, living or not, from lesser creatures to gods. It could alter the properties of everything and everything outside of itself. To do this, it would need Ixiptla - deity impersonator, the person who would wear Ī-Ameyalli.

The chosen person would perpetually wear Sun's Fountain until removed, sacrificing themselves while impersonating the gods, casting miracles and blessings. With each new sun rise, they would return fully intact in body, but mind was ever shifted towards becoming molded to the mask - empty, but with the presence to serve.

However, after extended use, it is said the gods grew angry with cheating divinity, and cursed the mask. Wearing the mask became a suffering beyond the rituals intentions. The priests discarded the mask due to it's new sentience, and vowed to never use it. Sun's Fountain became a forbidden term, and it's name was 'Tlahtlacolli' or accursed thing.

It was later found on a mummy, and brought to the Cabot Museum of Archeology in Boston, Massachusetts. It mysteriously disappeared before it could be put on display, leaving the mummy without the front part of its entire skull.

When you roleplay, keep in mind these things:

• Your character should be from Los Angeles or near the area. Extended vacation could also work.

• It is implied you know nothing about Tlahtlacolli. For consistency sake, do not use info given in this description as for what your character should know unless they are archeology buffs.
