I CAN WAIT FOR YOU AT THE BOTTOM!

THE ROBES & MASKS Unlike the Leader and the preachers of the religion, The Family's average member does not adhere to a specific dress code outside of their gifted mask for their everyday meetings or worship. However, there are occasions where it is necessary. Members often wear these as well for rituals, holidays, and other special designation. These robes are specially made, with certain colors dictating rank. Purple trim for Leaders, red for elder members and those of great importance within the Family, and white for general masses. Due to the efforts to keep intense and often violent knowledge granted by the Speaker for these special occasions, it is often only those on the inner circle of the following who get to participate in these events and, therefore, are requested to wear the proper attire. Leaders are required to don their robes any time they make an appearance to the grander audience. No other members are permitted to wear those robes— aside from the second in command, on the rare chance that the Leader is incapable of delivering their message, or the Leader previous to the current one in power. The masks are also of great importance— it is a key point in the ideology of The Family that to bare the symbol is a point of pride and a declaration that one is to be protected, a sign that you will be upon the few to find greatness in the new world, and that for an outsider to bare witness to the face beneath the mask is a great disservice to the individual wearing it. After all, outsiders and heretics are a vile type of poison.
