Overview:
Maskeers are deer-like (usually) humanoid species with furred legs and tails. Their arms are infused with their hoodies, meaning they cannot take them off. They always have some type of a hood that has ears.
Their masks are made by their parents when a Maskeer is born - they are crafted blank, and as the Maskeer wears it they become marked and get color depending on Maskeer's personality and lifestyle. It is believed that the more colorful a mask is, the prettier personality the Maskeer has.
Despite the hands being quite big, they aren't super strong - in reality, they are super soft to touch usually, considering they are covered in a thick layer of fabric and fluff underneath. They can use them to run on all four limbs and they can be quite fast. One can say that Maskeers special talent is speed!
They can also run on their furred legs only - they won't be able to go as fast on only them though.
Maskeers love trinkets and accessories. They can also wear additional clothes like pants or any kind of socks, and love decorating their hoodies. Sometimes they can even have a layer of shirt underneath the hoodie that they usually just put over their head. They are able to lift up the hoodie and show off their chest (but let's keep it family friendly in public, shall we?).
LORE:
THE PAST, THE EVOLUTION:
Although a lot of Maskeers are trying to study up on their past, they are unsure of their origins. The most common theory is that they have evolved from deer-like creatures, and possibly satyrs, who started collecting clothing and straight up sewing it to their skins. It has been speculated that even werewolves were involved in the creation of Maskeers, considering their mostly canine-like paws and big, clawed hooded hands.
Althought they have evolved past hooves, some mutations going back to satyr-like legs still happen among the species.
PUFFER PLANET LIFE:
Maskeers are mostly either loners or most comfortable among their own species. They have been living mostly around Pufferfluffs, some Maskeers have been keeping some Pufferals as pets even. They prefer bigger cities on more famous continents. A lot of Maskeers also prefer to live on the edges or in the forests, especially those who prefer to be on their lonesome. Obviously, their personalities vary - just like the masks that magically change based on those personalities. A lot of them are very wary about new people they meet, though.
One of the things Maskeers enjoy is celebrating traditions of Puffer Planet, and it's one of the rare occassions when they aren't entirely neutral-negative attitude towards strangers. You could see Maskeers with various celebratory items during parades, as they dance around during holidays until the moon comes up.
