The Marked

The Marked. of any conceivable "racial" background, they are all racialised as Marked. A special type of magically inflicted or inscribed tattoo allows itself to be passed down through generations, marking your family history on your skin. slave brands, victory marks, works of art. some are worn proudly, some are hidden in deepest shame. all are regarded with a mix of curiosity and disgust by the unmarked. the actual practise of tattooing is almost died out, the techniques lost to time, and they fade with every child born to someone unmarked. some people who are only an eighth marked will have tattoos so pale that they are almost like shadows. others regard themselves as a type of aristocracy or chosen people, coupling with others to merge tattoos and families into strange new combinations. those from the oldest families are so covered that their original flesh is almost lost to sight, only white eyes and white teeth vivid against blue-black skin.

So, an Aspect (tagline for the character) for Tarqen characters could be "Scientist Set on Restoring the Tarqen to the Skies". Another could be "Captivating Tarqen Dancer" or "World-renowned Tarqen Operatic." Some skills we could make for them are Singing or Performance. Then, we could add Stunts (special abilities that use a Fate Point) like "Songbird: Use Singing vs. Will to stun the target for a turn" or "Ornithologist: Gain +2 on any social or knowledge check relating to birds. +4 to one relating to Tarqen."

Aspects for The Marked might be "Heir to a Bloodstained Pure-Marked Family" or "History Made Its Mark on Me" (the 2nd having word/picture accounts of your ancestors). Skills we might add are Marked Magic (for magically imbued tattoos) or Writing (and using it with an Aspect to be able to Tattoo). If the art is dying out, we'd need to keep it special and not a skill most can work on. For Stunts, you might have "Ink is Blood: +2 to social checks vs. other Marked" or "Marked for Life: You can track any Marked you have seen by rolling Marked Magic instead of Survival."
