![]() Source See Religion (Hyrule Supplement)#Majora. HistoryMajora is an ancient enigma, believed to originate at some point in the Progenitor Era. Though its exact origin is shrouded in rumor and myth, Majora's history is entwined with an artifact known as Majora's Mask. Supposedly, this mask was used in arcane rituals of hexing and torture—though whether the mask was worn by the torturer or the tortured is ambiguous. The mask itself was capable of growing in power through both the physical and emotional pain of living creatures, and it is believed Majora itself was the sentient creation of this pain. When Majora itself grew too powerful, the ancient sorcerers who created the mask—or perhaps their descendants—sealed the fiend inside the mask they had created, and forbade its use. Although the Majora and its mask has reportedly been destroyed or sealed away several times throughout the recorded history of the Light World, just as many times it has appeared again under mysterious circumstances. At best, the mask's evil was swiftly sealed or destroyed. At worst, the mask was worn by a humanoid, allowing Majora to influence its wearer, spread pain, grow in power, and wreak havoc. The current visage of the Moon—a disturbing visage that glares furiously upon the Light World below—is said to be the result of one such instance when Majora gained power, and a seemingly eternal symbol of its desire to cause agony and suffering. Despite its foreboding nature and dark desires, Majora is said to be disturbingly immature and child-like. Some believe it knows nothing of the difference between right or wrong; that its vile curses are its ideas are mere pranks, and Majora is only a victim of the tortuous souls who first created it. Regardless, only a few individuals now lost to history could know the true nature of Majora firsthand. CombatThese statistics assume Majora took possession of a host through the artifact Majora's Mask, and gained enough power to act as an independent creature. The exact time, methods, and means of Majora gaining power through its host cannot be accurately measured, though it does only seem to gain independence through causing pain or suffering. When it first becomes independent, Majora initially assumes a Large form of Majora's Mask itself, albeit with a series of elongated whip-like tentacles emerging from its backside. As it takes pain or causes pain, it is able to transmute its form into something increasingly humanoid in shape. It gains arms, legs, and a head, and its spellcasting capabilities steadily grow alongside its physical evolution. If it takes time to rest, Majora's form will usually revert back to that of a mask in less than a day's time. Majora eagerly curses anyone too weak to fight it, and has even known to use powerful magic to permanently polymorph creatures into other shapes. It generally prefers to elongate suffering and pain through this magical feats. Only when something is a credible threat does Majora intend to kill it swiftly. Frequently, Majora will magically create masks or other inanimate objects with its creation spell, animate them, and finally fire bolts of magical energy towards them. It tends to only use this tactic when there is time to prepare against a credible threat; the more threatened it feels, the more frantic and straightforward its attacks tend to be. ![]() Source |
