They wear clothes often similar to the pierrot, but with more colorful additions. They are cunning social-climbers, and oportunists, but can show heroic qualities and often help those in needbody around.
===Relations===
The extreme actions of masosados don't mix well with most societies and they usually are shunned by more civilized people and more accepted among tribal and savage communities. Most massafo live with other of their kind, but their societies are rare and have few members.
===Alignment===
Mostly chaotic evil, but all shades of evil may be found among them. Neutral masosados are few, while good ones (especially if lawful) are almost absent, but not unheard of (these individuals really shine among masosados, as they don't have a different fundamental behaviour, but combine it with their good alignment - most times by directing violence and sadness to themselves rather than to others).
===Lands===
They don't produce, nor try to have a positive impact on things and places, so their need for farming, breeding of animals and building is at a minimum. They usually raid others, if they are savage, or live off societal structures that others built. Having said that, some masosados are quite creative and enterprising in the business of inflicting pain. ===LandsReligion and Society===
They worship deities of pain and torture, and most pay respects to Loviatar as a patron deity. Good or neutral masosados may worship Ilmater or Phieran instead.
As for how they exist within a society: among themselves, they manage to create cohesion thanks to their traditions and culture of pain-making arts as well their self-preservation instinct and preference for their own kind over others. As humans want to give their best to their offspring so masosados want to give the best pain, and ways to inflict it, to their own children. They are still harsh, and mortality is still high among them, a fact that also contributes to the survival of the strongest.
===Religion Because of this, they can live together, in tribal society, more or less savage. More urbanized masosados may have opted for more civilized ways to express their instincts, wether in red districts, fight clubs, law enforcing, such as torturers, slavery, and Society===the most acceptable way of violence: adventuring. Or crime.
Religious followers of Phieran or Ilmater may choose to focus more on the self-inflicted aspect of pain and on emdurance and tolerance, making them very strange masosados.
To most masosados death is generally considered a bad thing, because it means the interruptiom of pain.
===Language===
They simply speak Common and can learn all non-secret languages.
===Names===
Among them popular names are Hook, Bloodsipper, Scarface, Heartbreak, and such names. They almost always choose it for themselves.
