MARKINGS
As any character in the city will come to learn, markings are a prevalent feature. All pure black, varying in size but none any larger than two inches. Like tattoos, they rest in a random place on the person's body. Maybe some will even notice a special power in result. Some may even be strengthened in effect over time! It all comes down to how your character chooses to act.
Note:
Mark of Opportunity
Boon: The promise of good fortune, in any and all endeavors. From small things, such as finding money, to larger things such as predetermined victory. A blessing to those with honed instincts.
Mark of Foresight
Boon: The ability to read the moves and thoughts of all things. With an impassive eye, you can read any and all results to a situation, and can react accordingly. More of a strategist-type role than any other...
Mark of Lament
Boon: An empath with the ability to sway any to your emotions, magnifying them in the process. At higher mastery, one can even bluff their feelings. Staying perfectly calm while all else devolves into panic.
Mark of Pride
Boon: Contrary to the title, the ability is like a bloodhound's. It could be a scent, an emotion, an item, but you can flawlessly hunt it back to its source. None shall escape.
Mark of Endurance
Boon: Your standard defense boost. Increases resilience to all damage, and with focus can completely negate them. A useful, but mindless, ability.
Mark of Health
Boon: The perfect support role, you gain an innate boost to physical recovery and all healing spells. Even at low levels, this is an exceptionally high boost. Only using it on others cripples it severely.
Mark of Survival
Boon: Increased strength in fights and increased tolerance to pain. Note that this will not lower damage received, only how you react to it. An additional bonus is all parameters increase with the more lives you end.
