: Ever read The Invisibles? There's this fleshless (not
: skeletal--his body is just...abstract and kinda
: scribbled) demon called Orlando who always wears
: '20s-era white suits and has a habit of ripping
: people's faces off and slapping them on the front of
: his head. His "glamour" makes him then look
: and sound like his victim to the casual observer. He's
: the best mimic-type character I've read. There's a
: picture at
: http://www.barbelith.com/bomb/char_orla.jpg (yeah, he
: has a penchant for gardening tools.)
: As an alternate form of 'facelessness', suppose the
: Faceless Man isn't actually there? He could be
: something like a holographic person--gone now, but
: he's been imprinted on the environment so that his
: image can be reconstructed from sensory perceptions of
: the rest of the world. Listen to the wind, or to the
: busy noises of a city, and you can faintly hear his
: voice; glance through a wind-tossed hedge and you can
: just make out his form on the other side. Yes, I know
: an interference pattern that walks like a man would be
: difficult to depict with the Myth engine. I still like
: the idea. :-)
Or... Maybe he just doesn't have a face... Hmm?
