The simple and humble citizens of Truccozio spend most of their days hard at work with jobs like collecting Verdura or trading for colours. But a city that works hard, plays hard.  The dramatic maschera loving city enjoys good entertainment to distract them from the stress of life. They adopted the custom of putting up theatre productions every weekend -a Read more →

@ nathalie_nathalie

Truccozio is always full of life and bright colours, as everyone enjoys the masquerade life and participates actively in colouring the town with their maschere.

Much like how we can recognise New York by the yellow taxis and dollar hot dog carts on the road side, or Singapore by the seats choped with tissue paper packets and litter-free streets, Truccozio is Read more →

@ nathalie_nathalie

The rules in Truccozio are mostly related to their maschere, and is hence all written by chancellor Aaron, and approved of by Truccozion elders and the other governing heads.

The local marketplace lies in the very center of Truccozio. It is the heart of the world, bustling with life. Just like any other marketplace, it has a lot of open space and stalls set up in neat rows all over. There is also a simple but elegant fountain, built in the area. Every Truccozion comes here to share and Read more →

Truccozio Chapter 2: Sovereignty

@ nathalie_nathalie

A week has gone by and Karl watched the prison guard long enough to realize that the key is always hidden in the chest pocket of the guard’s uniform. He decides that today will be the day where they successfully break free from the horrid cell. Karl turns to Felicity and props her up to await their last bowl of verdura Read more →

Chancellor Aaron leans forward to me. He speaks into my ear forcing me to tell him where his forsaken brother, Joque is. I looked at him angrily and confused as I have no idea why he wanted to know his location since he is already ruling the place. He continues to interrogate me. It was a tough decision to make. If I told him where his brother is then would he be killed and I would be guilty for life but if I do not say anything, Karl and I would be in great danger. After much thought, I decided to tell him another location of Joque so that his brother could live longer while Karl and I would flee from his clutches. "I decided to tell you where Joque is, however you must free Karl and myself. We would never come back to your kingdom and no one will know how to get a face forever."
Karl wakes up and found out that he was again locked up. However, the lock of the cell was unlocked. He found himself lying on a comfy bed with white clean sheets. It was not a cell, it was a guest room. He was wearing new clothes that are also white. Karl being curious, sneak to towards the door as he was worried that he may alarm any guards. Karl unlocks the lock really carefully to prevent making any sounds. He put the rusty lock down on the cold but clean white floor slowly. He opens the door slowly. He sticks his head out to the white corridor to see what is happening outside.

The head of authority in Truccozio has to be the Chancellor, only known as Aaron. He wears the most exquisitely designed silver maschera anyone has ever seen and holds all of Truccozio’s secrets. Directly under him are four co-govenor heads that are in charge of the different welfare categories of Truccozio, mainly ‘Law peace’, ‘Crafts order’, ‘Trucco-fare’ and  ‘Guard conduct’. Read more →

Truccozio Chapter 1: The Convocation

Nathalie Au

Wednesday, Jan 27, 2016 - 07:12:50 pm

@ nathalie_nathalie

The citizens of Truccozio are called to gather at the central market place for a very important meeting by the chancellor, Aaron. Truccozion guards surround them like a fence at an animal farm and ordered them to fall in. The guards walk down each row, removing each Truccozion’s maschera in the process. Alarmed by this, the Truccozions start to protest and some Read more →

I shared with Karl about my observations during the stay in the cell while gulping the verdura liquid, trying to save some for him too. 'The prison guards would always change every 4 hours. During this time of change, they would have some information from the Chancellor. They mentioned that in order to get out of here, I have to tell them who the person is that led me to get a face but it would mean that the Chancellor will brainwash everyone to serve him.' Karl stared at me with disgust as I did not want to sacrifice myself to save him. I convinced him to listen to what I have in mind. 'Every time to guard comes over to give you a mediocre bowl of verdura liquid, you try to see where the keys are. When you have seen it, discuss with me. Next, when the verdura liquid is done return the bowl by sliding it out to the guard. Then I'll pretend to get into a fight with you to get out while getting hold of the keys and throw it over to you to get yourself out. I'll try to squirm my way out of the guard hold and meet you at the Faccia town.'

By Truccozion law:

All Truccozions above 18 are required to be in their maschere at all times, when they are out of their homes. They receive their plain white maschere through a ceremony on their 18th birthday, where they can approach the local craftsmen to design on or add colours too. They are only given one maschere throughout their lifetime, so Read more →

Lore // Truccozio

@ nathalie_nathalie

Facial appearances don’t matter here. You don’t have them anyway. 

The faceless land of Truccozio

Truccozio looks just like any other world with citizens like traders, doctors, inventors, craftsmen, verdura farmers and governors -but looks can be deceiving. The only thing different about the people of Truccozio, is that they have no facial features. They have never seen an actual face with facial Read more →

Karl,Truccozion boy,20 Karl is from a family of craftsmen. Making and designing mascheres is his family business. From the age of 6, he starts to impart crafting skills from his father. Karl is also known as one of the top crafters of mascheres. With his vast experience as a maschere maker, he did travel with his father to other towns to craft for luxurious families. However, after designing for so many years, he did not know who he is. He was fulfilling orders most of the time and lost track of his own identity. Approaching his adulthood which he requires to make a maschere for himself, he decides to set out for the journey to know more about himself and hopes that before he reaches his adulthood, he would be able to craft a maschere that symbolises him.
Girl with face Name: Felicity, 21 Backstory: Felicity was a quiet and shy Truccozion. Everyone was the same but only disliked her. Since Felicity was quiet, she was always bullied by everyone. Felicity felt that she had no one to talk to and no Maschere wanted to be associated with her. All the Maschere always had to draw lots to see who was the unlucky one to go with her. Felicity felt heartbroken as she knew that she was the same as everyone else. No one wanted to be her friend and all the Maschere ran away when being with her. Felicity then walked out of the town to somewhere she had never been before. She met a young boy who had facial features and asked him about it. He just held her hand and brought her into a strangely dark room where a scientist, Joque was. Joque saw that she was gloomy and wanted a new life so he poured a green liquid on her face. Immediately, she had a face.
This is Karl. Karl is bad at mathematics and his passport showed that he was acutally 17. He took so much time to practice the art of crafting that he forgot how to count. Karl is not learning. Don't be like Karl.
Strenght: Karl is a kid so Karl has no strength. ( 0 Str) Agility: Karl is hyperactive so he has 6 agility (6 Agi) Intelligence: Karl can't do maths, don't be like Karl (0 Int)
