Tragecomedia

**The Tragicomedia** is a group in Estra that believes that Estra, the moon child, does not deserve to be tied down to this mortal realm. To free the moon child, Tragicomedia aims to create as much chaos, mayhem, and anarchy to wake up Estra and send her back home. This is only the advertised goal of Tragicomedia. What they seek is much broader and destructive than chaos in Estra.

They are known to make extravagant displays of massacre and havoc, wholeheartedly believing all the mortal life on Estra is nothing but a parasite.
The spectacle of destruction is all in the name of Estra — all in the hopes that she may wake up and be free of this mortal plane.

## About

The members of Tragicomedia are noted for their masks, their rowdiness, aggressiveness, and their propensity for theatrics. Magnifico has instilled the ideology of spectacle to the members of Tragicomedia, labeling it as an absolute requirement in order to further their mission.
Everyone's mask is different and is carved to meet the personality of its wearer. Tragecomedia has craftsmen for each Troupe to make these masks for them.
The members are everywhere — in politics, in neighborhoods, even in your own family. This seemingly noble cause has entrapped the minds of many and has cost the lives of many more.

## Major Players

These are the people that run the whole show. They are elusive characters who are only known by their codenames and their rather unique magic styles. On top of this, they openly practice the Forbidden Tenants of Necromancy to achieve their goals.

If you'd like to claim one of these roles to play, please claim them on the Trello (invite link).

* **Magnifico:** The elusive leader of Tragicomedia. This leader was the one who obtained the vision of Estra calling for their help to help release her from her mortal prison. Magnifico never speaks to people directly, only speaking through his advisors: the Innamorati and La Strega. Originated from Ascium.

* **Innamorati:** These two are inseparable and act as the main spokespeople of Magnifico. They are essentially one being; so intertwined in their own love that they see nothing else besides each other and their goals.

* **La Strega:** Essentially the main advisor to Magnifico in terms of tactical strategy and management of manpower inside Tragicomedia. A powerful necromancer that brought Ospary to its knees.

* **Columbina:** Another elusive character in Tragicomedia. Sticks close to Magnifico but never says anything. Always seen whispering into Magnifico's ear about something. An advisor of sorts.

* **Pantalone:** A figure in charge of the group's finances. A greedy bastard who was promised all the riches and gold from Estra during one of Magnifico's visions.

* **Il' Dottore:** As nobody would willingly give an open Tragicomedia member any sort of medical attention given their track record, Dottore is in charge of all the pharmaceuticals and chemical warfare that Tragicomedia needs. A mad scientist who offers a much more scientific approach to awakening Estra.

* **Capitano:** This is a role, not a character. Capitano are meant to command and organize the Zanni. Think of Tragicomedia as a 9th Order, and the groups of Zanni are troupes. They organize meetings, attacks, and discussions in their respective area of influence.

* **Brigella:** A respected spokesperson for the Tragicomedia. Organizes communications between the Troupes of Tragecomedia and is the head of intel.

* **Harlequine:** An assistant to Brigella. Also the head of recruitment.

* **Zanni:** These are the common people at the bottom of the food chain. They are recruited by the campaigns Harlequine puts out. They are blinded by the righteous goal of Tragecomedia and they answer to nobody but their commanding officers.
	+ Zanni are first given a pigeon-like mask before given their own personal mask. Their old pigeon mask is broken down and then recreated into something that represents the respective Zanni. This is a very important ceremony and is called the Benvenuto.

## The Zanni

This is a very important ceremony and is called the Benvenuto.
The Benvenuto takes place a year after their initial recruitment and the Zanni completes at least 3 major assignments from a Capitano.What counts as 'major' depends on the Capitano, creating opportunity for corruption and exploitation in Tragicomedia's ranks.
