New Face Detail - Guy Fawkes Mask

I find it odd that you would choose to make this post on the 19th of September when the 5th of November isn't really that far off.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
I would like porcelain/theater type masks (for all 3 models) but I don't want Guy Fawkes.
The internet seems to have some kind of boner for the man, but they don't even seem to know, or care, what he really stood for.
He wasn't some great freedom fighter trying to save the people of England from tyranny. He was trying to replace one tyrant with another. (Replace the Church of England/Protestant Monarch with the Catholic Church/Catholic Monarch.)

Oh, I'm well aware of the history behind Fawkes, and the whole "anonymous" internet cult, but my thinking was more in paying homage to the infamous comic book hero, V from V for Vendetta (hence my modified movie version speech)

It should be unlockable by running the Praetorian arc where you try to blow up the Magisterium

Didn't necessarily mean to imply you weren't aware, rather that the internet as a whole doesn't seem to be, I'm sorry if it came across crassly.|

It's just something that bugs me to no end. (So really I wouldn't want a "V mask" specifically out of pure spite. Not spite for any player or character, but for the internet.)

... Which is great, and all, except that we're pretty specificially discouraged from doing that kind of thing. So you're sort of asking for a costume piece that would have no usefulness other than in making costumes that would get GMsmacked automatically. As we used to say in sales-engineering at GTE, not seeing the "value add" there. |

By the way that mask he use look like one of the Italy Theater Mask's, you can even buy them. I was in Europe for a class trip, a long time ago when I was still in school, I saw them in the store.

Always remember, we were Heroes.

I believe that that image is owned by Disney and that Paragon/NC would have to pay royalties to use it.

Check out the Repeat Offenders network of SGs! You'll be glad you did.
Warner Brothers, I believe. I read an article before about how they're making bank off all the drones purchasing and wearing the mask to show how counter-establishment they are 
Unless WB is owned by Disney. Who can keep track these days.
What with the game going free to play I can only see this mask being an invitation for Anonymous to flash mob the servers and cause all kinds of problems. So perhaps not.
Good evening, Praetoria. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine - the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetitive task forces. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, are celebrated with a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted down telephones, and men with superpowers will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the beam rifle may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this City, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? the Rikti War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to who is now the Emperor, Marcus Cole. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed Cole's Tower, to remind this city of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives, and yet, Praetoria does not acknowledge this man. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see as I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one and a half months from tonight, outside the gates of The Nova Magisterium, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.
TL; DR
