Marvin The Magician
Magic: Illusion
Gender: Male
Age: 24 (at capture)
Here is the first of many reference sheets! All of them will be reblogged onto this post so keep an eye on it!
I decided to give marvin more of a showman/formal outfit since i always felt his old design was bland and too simple, so i gave him a fancy vest!
People have been disappearing. Random people, no connections. Soon after, a strange group of masked people appears, doing strange acts. Some steal, others murder. All anyone knows about them is that they are responsible for the disappearances. Updates every Saturday
Branded cover is up! come here to subscribe to the comic and be the first ones to be updated when i upload a page!

Hey
Im working on a Branded Webtoon Server :D
There are only 100 slots rn since i dont want to get overwhelmed while i still try to figure out and set things up, but if youre interested come on in!
I will be posting updates of the webcomic and things like that, but its also just a place to sit around and talk branded!
So, does each mask have a specific magic assigned to it or does the magic manifest based on whoever wearing it? Like was Marvin's already an Illusions mask or did it give him illusion magic after the fact?
the magic manifests to the person, not to the mask. The mask is just a control device for the puppeteers. It depends on the person when they get masked if they get powers or not and which kind of powers they get. It often depends on personality and mental state before masking.
However, there is a link after the mask is equipped and the person's magic has manifested.
If the person's mask is removed, like in Henrik's case, they will retain their magic to a smaller degree, unless one of two things happens:
1) they get their mask back, in which case that control allows their magic to come back fully or
2) the mask is destroyed, and the magic is lost.
In Jackie's case, his mask was broken/melted into his face, which only strengthened his bond with the magic, making him stronger and harder to control.
[ We can still control him but it is more difficult for me, so Anti usually takes direct control of him. He gets special treatment :) ]
How Bad Can I Be?

taglist:
After days of thinking about it, I finally came up with a character that would be in @jayofmemory ‘s Branded AU! I’m in love with the stories and characters that make up this AU! Not only that, but your art is gorgeous :D
Name before being masked: Alona Strix
- Happy/flighty personality, but tries to be serious when needed.
- Very empathetic towards others, especially animals and those she cares about.
- Volunteered at a local animal shelter
- As the new girl on town, she tried to make friends anywhere she went (which was ultimately her downfall).
Name after being masked: “The Empath”
- Has the ability to manipulate people’s emotions based on her proximity to them.
- Her mask is based off of a Peacock.
- Reserved and shy personality.
- Doesn’t talk much, but when she does it comes out as whispers.
- When not on recruiting missions, she likes to watch the other puppets’ behaviors and emotions (kinda like people watching, but creepier).
[I have this HC where extreme influxes of emotions from people around her can cause the mask’s magic to short-circuit, thus breaking her free of Anti’s control for a moment. It is unknown if the mask will totally break after a while because of this, so she is watched carefully.]
