If you want to give protesting around the world mask have become popular. They are being used in Iraq, Chile, Hong Kong etc.
Popular ones.

Guy Fawkes
From V for Vendetta. A classic from occupy wall street from a few years ago.

Dali
From Money Heist on Netflix. Great series btw.

Joker
From the movie of the same name.

Hong Kong has banned masks as facial recognition software doesn't work.

Anyway what would be your choice?

As you can see, ancient greek actors also used a 'Nikolas Cage' mask, when you have to look generic and expressionless.
 
I saw a clip of a local protest about ten years ago during the economic crash here in Ireland.

A small group had broken off from a much larger, well organised peaceful anti austerity march to attack a Labour party conference being held in the local university.

One tough man had a cowboy scarf/bandana thing covering his face - he wasn't impressed when someone in the same group yanked it down. The look on his face was priceless when he was exposed.

I just wanted to share that anecdote.

The morokei is clearly the best, as its 100% magicka regen bonus enables the wearer to cast whatever kind of spells they specialize in: Illusion to bamboozle the police, summoning daedra to deal with them, burning, freezing, or electrocuting them with destruction magic, using alteration to resist beatings, and restoration to heal injured comrades.

Do the authorities in Hong Kong realize that is precisely why people are wearing masks?

I also find it funny and sad that they are being so open with why they are banning masks. No BS justification, just straight to the honest "you can't do this because it foils our attempts at creating a more efficient police state."
 
Lots of people behind no public privacy allowed in the interests of security. It plays better in the west if it's bespoke Islamic.

Was just declared unconstitutional by the HK High Court on reasonable proportionality grounds, after being applied via the invocation of colonial era emergency powers, so that'll be interesting.

I'm thinking a replica of the Mask of Clavicus Vile...but failing that I'd go with the classic Guy Fawkes. But you want it sewn onto a full face ski mask to prevent accidental exposure.
 
Corporate, mass produced masks worn by protesting malcontent middle-class kids.

Never fails to amuse.

Mana regen is for noobs. You use alchemy/enchanting loop to create 0% cost spellz for the win.
 
I would go with the humble Gladiator mask like my brother DOOM or just the classy old Ronald Reagan mask.

Right, you need to go out into the wilderness, find a manageable chunk of wood and carve it into a mask using a stone knife and tie it around your head using string you crafted yourself from plant fibers. That's the only way to protest with principles!

Or at least steal the mask you are going to use so you aren't propping up those you are fighting against.
