Wraithsketeer

Wraithsketeers are potential Masketeers that entered a contract with a Contract Wraith instead, becoming a sort of pseudo-masketeer. They gain power greater than a regular Masketeer at the cost of their sanity, morality or both.

## Appearance

Similar to regular Masketeers, a Wraithsketeer's appearance varies depending on the person. Their appearance is often a mix of what they would look like as a Masketeer and the appearance of the Contract Wraith they have partnered with. Their mask is that of their Contract Wraith, usually a devil or demon in appearance.

## Behavior

As they are contracted to Contract Wraiths, they usually follow the terms stated on the contract, whatever they may be. In battle, they are often ruthless and without mercy, influenced by their contractors. As they are people instead of wraiths, their motivations and personalities are significantly more varied. However, they all experience a degredation of their mental and emotional state, and possibly a loss of sanity. Those that freely embrace the contract however gradually lose sense of morality, becoming more and more apathetic to the concept of right and wrong.

## Abilities

For the most part, they have similar abilities to Masketeers in normal circumstances, though more powerful or varied due to their nature. As Wraithsketeers always operate alone, they tend to be attackers, since they do not and likely will not support or defend others. Taking a Wraithsketeer in a one-on-one confrontation is unadvised.

* **Enhanced Physical Abilities** - Similar to Masketeers, they gain physical abilities stronger than when untransformed which varies between individuals. Their growth in ability may also be determined by the specific Contract Wraith they have partnered with.
* **Magic** - Some Wraithsketeers may gain the ability to wield magic instead of physical forms of combat.
* **Wraith Abilities** - Wraithsketeers will inherit the abilities that the Contract Wraith they made a pact with may have.
* **Unleashed Form** - Achieved when either in an unstable mental state or by allowing oneself to succumb to the Contract Wraith, Wraithsketeers can attain a form that grants greater power at the cost of themselves, known as an Unleashed Form. While in this form, their abilities are greatly enhanced, but the Wraithsketeer becomes closer to wraith than human, often losing their sense of self. Their Ultimates also become Unleashed Ultimates, which are powerful attacks that put a great strain on the user.

## Types and Variants

#### Normal Wraithsketeer

A regular Wraithsketeer. They have the most in common with regular Masketeers, at least on the surface. Their strenght in derived from despair, instead of conviction or hope. The longer they are contracted, the stronger they get and the harder it is to break the contract.

#### Devourer Wraithsketeer

Wraithsketeers contracted to Devourer Contract Wraiths. As part of their contract, they hunt wraiths for their contractor to devour. To hunt wraiths, their weapons are made of the same skeletal protrusions present in Devourers, shaped into something more useable to kill with. They also gain other abilities Devourers have, such as creating loud sounds that debuffs everyone that hears it and the ability to summon previously defeated wraiths as summons or meat shields. However, these abilities are weakend when compared to a true Devourer. Even so, an experienced Devourer Wraithsketeer is a dangerous foe to face.
