Description

A Lesser Defect. A character is considered Marked if their body hosts a permanent and distinguishing design that may be difficult to conceal. The design may be a family symbol, an identifying birthmark, a permanent scar, or a unique tattoo. If the mark is not considered out of the ordinary (such as freckles or an unremarkable tattoo), this Defect does not apply. Characters who are obviously non-human (alternate race, robotic, demonic, alien, etc.) in a setting where most people are human (or vice versa) would also have the Marked Defect. When considering assigning the Marked Defect, consider what would seem out of the ordinary and the focus of attention. Most animals, for example, would not have Marked since it’s normal for them to be animals. A rare jade-green tiger would certainly qualify for Marked, though, since its colour is quite out of the ordinary.

Similarly, a female monkey saving Tokyo as a magical girl would also qualify, since heroism is not a normal calling for a monkey. In a traditional high-fantasy setting, most of the standard races (elves, dwarves, halflings, etc.) would also not have Marked since these races are usually common enough to avoid attracting attention.-1 Point Mark is easily concealable because it is small or in an inconspicuous location
