This blog is about A man named Sergei Korchaviv. He was married with a wife and son, but they left him after he was wounded in a fire, losing his eyesight. He was then approached by the Convocation, a hivemind of Bird-like Fears, who offered him power and new sight. He cut off the majority of his face, and began wearing a mask, taking the name "The Faceless Bastard". He was made into one of the Convocation's Nests, and gained the ability to see through their eyes.
As their servant, he performed several missions. He started by murdering the family of Harold Ardy, who, in his anger, went and obtained the power of a dead Fear called the Brute. He was seemingly killed by the Faceless Bastard.
Faceless then enters the Empty City to track down a runner who had murdered a Nest. While he's there, he encounters Portnoy Augustus, from Urban Malefic, who restores Faceless's humanity. The two of them then attempt to leave the Empty City with the help of a scientist, and they end up having to fight a monster unleashed by the City. They manage to create an exit, and Faceless pushes Portnoy onto the outside, hoping to kill him. However, As he exited the City, Faceless became a Nest again, causing him to re-experience the pain of losing his face. Portnoy then took the opportunity to escape.
As he gets back to working for the Convocation, he is assigned to join a group of other Servants in order to track down and eliminate a Dying Man piece named the Liar. Interestingly, one of his partners is a Willing Doll named Harold. Faceless develops feelings for one of the servants, a Slender Proxy calling herself May. However, he discovers that she is actually the Liar, and kills her.
Afterwards, there is a turf war between Slender Man, the Convocation, and the Wooden Girl. Faceless and Harold end up on opposing sides, along with a Slender Proxy called The Grinning Reaper, who wields a unique scythe designed for fighting Nests. Faceless manages to kill her, and then faces off against Harold. However, their fight is interrupted by Slender Man. It is revealed that Slender Man had won the wart, and all the fighting was to end.
His next assignment is to stalk a Russian special operative, who proves to be too clever for Faceless to handle. While on the job, he ends up caught up in an Oathbreaker conspiracy to produce artificial Dying Men. He is successful in destroying them all, but in the process, the Liar is revived. Faceless also discovers that Harold Ardy isn't really dead, and is in the process of reviving the Brute. Faceless kills Harold in the Grove Of Fetters, but the Brute is able to almost fully revive. Faceless gives his life to destroy it, and the blog comes to an end.
So, what do I think of this blog? I think it was goddamn awesome and you all should go read it. Here's the link. It has some f@&king amazing characters, a great storyline, and it introduced the Brute, which is one of my all time favorite Fears. This was one of the blogs that got me started on the Fear Mythos, so it will always be special in my opinion Good work, Som. You deserve a cookie. As a matter of fact, you deserve two cookies. But no more than that. You need to save room for dinner, after all.
Well, that's my review. And now, enjoy this crappy Vocaloid song.
