PLL - More on Mystiks

It's been quite a while since I've introduced the races of PLL, so here are the Mystiks. For an example of what Mystiks look like, look at Eloneth, he's not too far down there.

Anatomy

Mystiks are more of a cult than a race, though members of the cult are usually shunned by fellows of his race. As the mystiks aren't a race, there is no common defining physical feature except the marks of a mystik. A mystik's mouth is sewn up with mylweim threads as a part of an 'oath of silence' he is bound to. The mystiks will have access to his powers as long as the seal of threads is not broken.

Mystiks also have a unique mark on their foreheads as a window to telepathic communication. Mystiks receive the mark during the rites of initiation, where the laying of hands by a mystik priest would cause the mark to magically appear.

Mystiks are mainly mages. There are mystiks fighters, but they still use their magic when fighting. A mystik can draw his magical powers from any natural landscape, though rock formations are the most potent sources of power. Mystik magic is probably the strongest form of magic in the world, thought the great power takes a toll on their lifespans.

Society

Mystiks are found everywhere on the world, though they're most concentrated in their sacred city of Breiben. The social structure of the mystiks are unknown, though the most high-ranked mystiks manipulate the lesser mystiks telepathically from the stone towers of Breiben.

Fashion

A mystik prefers simple garments and drab-colored clothing. He will most likely be also seen in a hooded cloak when walking in public. A mystik prefers his accmade of stone - stone bracelets boost their powers by quite a big notch, and they do not hesitate to cover both their arms with stone bracelets in order to be more powerful.

Some mystiks put themselves in physical restraints - chains, bandages - in order to limit their magic use.

Diplomacy

The mystiks live in a highly isolated society, and most other nations prefer not to think of its existence. However, some anti-mystik vigilante movements operate independently to hunt down mystiks and lynch them.
