Marked

The Marked are individuals who, in their ambition and desire for power, have willingly accepted the brand of the Overseers. Elevated above the masses, these Marked souls wield their newfound authority with arrogance and pride, seeking to solidify their position in the twisted hierarchy of this new world. On the upside, this makes them a member of Polite Society and capable of holding office.

Starting/Trained Equipment: Overseer's Mark

Requirement: ST Approval and 5 Favor

RP Cost: You deserve the best and expect it, you're a favored pet after all. When any non-Legion treat you as a commoner or with disrespect, you must make a scene or threaten repercussions, if you don't, then suffer Shame as you second guess your place in the new pecking order of this hellscape. You also gain the Marked complication which can not be resolved.

Achievements

  • Buying Allies: You gain the ability to perform Rites to commune with your Overseer. You begin play with the Rite of Ascendence. You will also receive whispers from your Overseer based on your Favor Rank at check in. (Unlocked By: Successfully invoking your Overseer's name to secure a favor or gain an advantage in a negotiation)
  • A Favored Sense: Those who bear a mark for some time begin to gain the ability to sense others that bear the same mark. You may place your hand around your ear and use the call "Reveal: Tell me your Legion Affiliations" This may be used on Stealthed/Hidden individuals but if they are not marked you do not notice them. (Unlocked By: Demonstrate your loyalty to your Overseer and reinforce your bond by offering them a significant sacrifice. It's up to you to be sure you understand what 'significant' means)
  • Scales of Power: Your ties with the Overseers have grown to the point where their games of power influence you as well. When your cusp is dominant you gain your Overseers Ascendant Boon and when they are not you gain their Lesser Boon. (Unlocked By: Successfully undermining or weakening a rival Marked, alternatively incapacitate them and bring them to your Overseer)
  • Commune: Your mark allows you to earn the ear of any of the Legion at least for a moment. This can be used to speak to any from the most Feral Legion up to the Overseers themselves, but it offers you no continued protection, only the ability to speak with them, and the right to hold an audience with them. You can use the Influence gesture with the call "Speak with me" (Unlocked By: Gaining the trust of a Legion member and persuading them to divulge information or aid you in your endeavors, proving your skill as a diplomat and negotiator.)
