Remiel was never particularly good at arts and crafts. He preferred more athletic endeavors. Or, at best, a good book to read. Nevertheless, the festival had him in the spirits to try his hand at MASK MAKING.

After being provided with all the necessary materials, the exiled prince went about fashioning one in the image of a TYRANTRUM. There was no deeper meaning or history behind such a mask— humans did not exist alongside Tyrantrum in the ancient past, after all.

He made it simply because he liked dinosaurs. And, perhaps, because his Tyrantrum SYGNA SUIT was finally nearing its completion.

Yumi Hasegawa Avatar
INSPIRED POKÉMON: Hatterene
INSPIRED TYPE: Fairy

Though accessory design and creation were not her strengths, Yumi possessed enough skill gained through her various workshops and classes to craft a beautiful mask for the Magnificent Funtasia.

In the style of traditional Johtonian masks, Yumi crafted a mask in the style of a Hatterene, one of her favorite Pokémon. Using subtle paints, she mimicked the Fairy-type's soft blue and pink coloration. Slits cut out for eyes were filled with special black fabric that still allowed her to see when held up to her face.

Lastly, Yumi attached a miniature version of a Hatterene's hat to the top of the mask, tilted at a jaunty angle. She affixed the mask to the front of her face and admired her work in the mirror.

Perfection, as always.

[attr="class","body"]INSPIRED POKEMON: Froslass[break]
INSPIRED TYPE: Ice[break][break]

Unlike her cousin, , she was actually pretty good at arts and crafts and practiced her origami daily like her mother and maternal grandmother taught her in Ecruteak. Mask making was an activity shown in annual festivals around the city she was raised in, so the royal gets to work on making her own on the table. Her mask gets an icy white paint on the front with dark purple finishes to mimic a Froslass’ face and trying hard to base it off the face of the ghost type Pokemon, giving the mask an touch on its Ice type. Elegant golden waves covered both sides of the mask while the royal gives both eye sockets of her mask a bit of dark purple eye shadow, maybe to mimic that Froslass appeared to have this kind too.[break][break]

She finishes her mask and waits for the paint to dry, her creation was the kind of graceful appearance she imagined her own Froslass, Ayaka, to have on her face. Maybe the royal ambassador will show her Froslass what her mask looked like when Elise takes Ayaka to hang out with her again.

Isaac's mask is the mask of a black knight, calling to mind the frontmost part of a knight's helmet. The station may not have the tools for full-on metallurgy (and Arceus knows, despite 's best efforts, an unguided Isaac would probably make a pile of twisted slag), but the use of foils, shining fabrics, and the occasional metallic adornment give the mask as much shine as possible.[break][break]

The mask itself is a deep, dark color, subtle navies and purples bringing out the richness and inkiness that black and black alone wouldn't be able to convey. Pale blue serves as an almost highlight color, calling to attention the contours of the mask in a fashion that almost flare out like wispy flames.[break][break]

The mask itself is not directly birdlike, though its lengthened faceplate and the ruffled "feathers" of its backpiece call the mask's inspiration to mind. Stranger still are the red lenses buried deep beneath the visor, seeming to shine out from behind it when beheld.[break][break]

Isaac made a mental note to commission this bad boy in steel one day. Between that, and a feathery mantle, he could be serving up some looks.

No pictures because I didn't feel like drawing it! But Temp is really close to his Zarude, Bongo, so he would think it was cute to make a mask inspired by the monkey! I picture something of a jester's mask with a few little decorations and such! Temp doesn't consider himself much of an artist.

"You know if you asked me two years ago if I'd be wearing a fire mask at one of these uhh things I'd say you'd be crazy," Razz muses to the young teen as he works on a mask of his own. One to match Tango's as he and his little sister were out of their pokeballs to try and enjoy the festival going on. Razz thought it would be fun to have them do something matching.

It even helps that he has designed his own pokeballs before so if Eris asked for help Razz had his own crafty knowledge to make the helmet/mask pretty spot on.

Inspired Pokemon: Archen
Inspired Move: Feather Dance

Masks were among the most common historical artifacts to be salvaged from sites. They were important for all sorts of rituals. Unovans put much stock in masks belonging to Yamasks, and the Hoyeon people had a high regard for brightly feathered masks that were almost tribal in nature.

Using an almost criminally large amount of glue, feathers, and tears, Howard had strung together a mask that looked remarkably similar to those placed on the deceased in Tuzkna cutlure. In a region as sparse in resources as Orre, the deceased were given the highest honor, given their burial masks would be the final item that ever belonged to them in the mortal world.

Using an Archen as the base, and taking inspiration from the ways its feathers flapped in the wind, Howard put together a mask that was surprisingly accurate. Unfortunately for him, such a mask only held one eye socket on the right side of the mask, which was where Howard's eye was missing.

Damn. Why did he have to be so good at this? Was this what the term 'suffering from success' meant?

Putting it on to test it, Howard saw absolutely nothing. He promptly turned around and walked squarely into a wall.

Aubre wears a mask meant to honor a fallen friend. Her husband ordered it from a well-known vendor in Alto Mare. Though she'd have preferred to make something herself, and not to feel like a fat cat, she cannot deny the piece is gorgeous. Note that hers would have a Mantyke and a Mantine instead of the two fish.

Ozni's mask is meant to represent his love of technology. He can change the expression to suit his current mood. A faux glitch mechanic brings to mind technological madness. It'd be crafted in Porygon-Z colors to represent his buddy Glitch. He also considered a gold mask made of melted Pokedollars, but some stiffs thought it'd be insensitive.

This map is obviously pretty cheap, but it gets the point across. It features a Blaziken's beak and face. The former curls down over Madd's nose to rest somewhere around her lips. Stiff 'hair' flows from the back to cover her shoulders. Matching bracelets have been added to complete the look. Yakuza, meanwhile, has a matching Sceptile mask.

Nikita's night time mask is similar to this one, but this one has flesh and bone on it. Combining mythological armor with the visage of Detective Winters I, the investigator's mask represents both halves of his life. The thing was pulled out of a box that'd been saved from his house fire and left on a shelf for years.

This mask is handmade from construction paper. It's not cut very well. Golden dots circle the mask itself. Designed to resemble her daddy, it's predominantly purple and gold with a small streak of pink. The string tying it together used to be a sash from a woman's shirt. The whiskers are made of discarded wire. She really wanted a pink mask, but Daddy would be mad if he saw it.

While Lydia would likely opt for some sort of valkyrie or knight, this one fits the Pokemon setting better. Minerva is her best friend and very similar to her trainer. Small accents of blue would help take this mask to the next level.

Inspired Type: Bug

Calpurnia enjoys the mystique and ethereal nature of butterflies. They are also commonly associated with science (i.e. butterfly pinning) and status powders (Kelpie's specialty). The physics-defying edges of this mask call attention to her as she wants. In addition to Butterfree, the small butterflies include Frosmoth, Vivillon (in honor of Titania), Beautifly, and Venomoth.
