# Backstory

 *'The voices that question you must never be fed.' Etherien, as a young boy, never understood these words. growing up, he used to boast about how good he was at dancing, often showing off hid dance moves here and there. At school, his teachers used to praise for his perfect performance in academics, sports and extra-curricular activities. His ego slowly and subtly grew, just like the Wraiths that were feeding on him. Soon, he began gathering a few friends, whom he called his faithful allies. All was well until he joined High School.*

*On the very first day on High School, Etherien received his first of the many detentions he would soon earn himself. He had punched a classmate in the face for teasing his dance moves and broke his nose. Soon, too soon, the Wraiths feeding on him slowly grew in numbers and strength. This caused him to hear their voices, voices asking him to to hurt others emotionally in a subtle way. Naive Etherien did exactly as the voices said, without understanding what they truly meant, making him infamous for his cruel attitude towards everyone, whether it was friend or foe, teacher or student, known or unknown. He failed to notice that everyone began hating him, and merely thought that they were jealous of him. His parents asked and forced him to change his ways, but he was stubborn and refused to do so. He spiralled down the path the Wraiths guided him, leading into the calamity that would eventually ruin his life.*

*One day, at school, the teacher he hated the most was mysteriously found dead, stabbed multiple times with pens and scissors lying in a pool of blood. Even though he pleaded innocent, and was proved to be genuinely innocent, he was blamed for the murder, without hesitation by all the students who knew him. His life broke down as all his classmates called him a murderer, just so that they could take their vengeance for his attitude towards them. The voices were steadily strengthening, weakening Etherien's soul and mind.*

*On a summer night, unable to take it anymore, he broke down. He wailed and howled in pain and despair as the voices threatened him to do their bidding, making him their servant. He hated himself for being so foolish and blindly following the voices. His parents tried their best to calm him down, but in panic, without noticing what he had done, he attacked them both. Luckily, they managed to calm him down. After he had locked himself in his bedroom, he took a pocket knife and slit his wrists. " I deserve this." He said, as his blood covered the floor. The voices were laughing with glee as his blood drained, everything slowly fading, fainter and fainter. Out of nowhere, a blinding light shone in his room. After it had faded enough for him to see, Etherien saw that his wounds had healed, and....a mask...was floating in the center of his room?*

*Bewildered and panicking, he was about to shout when the mask spoke to him." Ethan, do not give up. That is what the Wraiths want. Do not make yourself suffer. The voices in your head are there to harm you. You must rise. Rise and show that you won't give up, that you are who you are. Don me and defeat the Wraiths that destroyed you." Trembling, he wore the mask and felt newfound hope and strength fill him, and burning desire to fight the Wraiths before they could ruin another life.*

# Bio

A natural at dancing, Etherien is talented at gymnastics and can bend almost any part of his body with ease. He may seem a bit self-absorbed at first, but that's because he is still insecure emotionally and has a difficult time socializing. However, he is quite protective of his friends and takes responsibility for their safety and helps them whenever they need assistance. He is not good at humor; but makes up for it with an almost perfect sense of sarcasm.

Before he became a Masketeer, he was still a good person. But he did not know how to properly understand others, and still is; hence making him understand others can be a bit tough. Nevertheless, he is a good soul who won't take any attitude towards his friends and family, which unfortunately results in fights and brawls.
