Mechanic 1: Marken have enhanced senses, even when not transformed. They can see better (even in darkness), or hear quieter sounds from further away. (Consult with Event DM if this would reveal any new info).
Mechanic 2: Marken have a danger sense that borders on precognition, and are "warned" of their possible impending death during Combat or Events, allowing them to prematurely disengage or avoid fighting something.
Mechanic 3: Marken, if at a God Summoning of the God that cursed whatever Marken infected them (however far back), can possibly be given "Redemption Quests" to free them of the curse or help them master it. (Not Guaranteed, at Discretion of Lore Staff).
Mechanic 4: Marken fare better in extreme temperatures and climates (cold or hot), and are not hurt or slowed down where other people might be, but this only applies to weather.
Mechanic 5: Marken can declare Rental/Estate/Shop/Base Region or a Wilderness Cave as their "Territory" granting them +1 to Attack Stat (break cap up to 11) while fighting within and around it. If another Marken declares the same area their Territory, neither gets the bonus, and they must fight over the area, with the winner getting the bonus.

Back Story: Expansive
Early Life: Massitaal (Guldar) - Age 0 to 10
Born in a Sentli commune while it burned around him, Machatl knew fire and loss before he came to understand what it was. His mother was an Estelley Ordvaan and lover to Iltaron who appeared with his wolf pack to help save his newborn's life. This was one of many attempts on his people's lives that he suffered through.
Iltaron warned his mother that she must go to Agnevaal with her flock or die here with their son. This hard truth was hard on her. But she took his advice and they left as soon as she was able to. It took quite some time to reach the Fire lands and many of their commune died but eventually they reached it.
Machatl would be raised with his people and those of Agnevaal and would learn everything he could from his mother and eventually gain his own mentors amongst his people. He learned philosophy, history, and the wider world, and what he might come to expect from its people and gods.
His mother would also embrace the culture of Vadyalocaï and marry a local merchant named Vasuman who he would learn to call father.
Young Adulthood: Agnevaal (Suvial Princedoms) - Age 11 to 25
His father and mother went to great lengths to teach him how to combat demons, magic, and people. He would eventually enlist to fight against Allorn and Dread Empire forces after becoming proficient in fire punching. During this time he would serve with many great heroes and commanders and this would inspire him greatly.
After a couple of years of this another devastating blow would rock him. His Maquixtl family would face ruin from a demonic assault by Kathar agents. This killed several of those he loved and injured his mother to the point where she could no longer see because of the sinistral magic used. Machatl and his father gathered Suvial healers and tried to help her but there was nothing they could do.
Eventually Machatl attempted to call his Arken father Iltaron for help but no answer came. He prayed to the Estelley Gods but it was too late. His mother suffered and died not too long after this magical corruption.
Machatl was angry at himself, his biological father, and he spiraled after that for a bit. He sought companionship in booze and his step-father tried to do his best to help him go through this but he was also suffering as he had lost a wife. Vasuman then sought out an Ordvaan who specialized in Avinla's prayers and she helped Machatl greatly with his grief.
Adulthood: The World Beyond - Age 26 - 110
Machatl put in the work of several years and forgave himself and those he blamed. He is not over what happened fully but has learned to live with it. After now being in a state of calm and leaving the defense against the Allorn and Dread empires, he decided it was best that a change of sights would be good and left to find mercenary work as a pugilist for hire.
He would travel to many places such as Daen, Amontaar, Basq, and Ithania to find work ranging from a bodyguard to a chef. Whatever he could take and learn from he would do so as he wished to learn more of the world that he was taught by his mentors. During this time he would also visit any Estelley temple he could that would take him and he ran into a half-brother with the same blood as their Arken parent.
This half-brother was a Fin'ullen named Solnas who taught him a few things about their Arken Father and his blessings. He ended up helping Machatl on a journey to find their father which led them to several ruined Estelley temples and fighting several beasts and monsters before they found Iltaron's wolf pack. Although they never were able to find their father, as he was not there, one of his Marken blessed them both with Markenism in the name of Loyalty after hearing their stories. The two would transform and join the pack for a few lost months before they parted ways in Ithania for now.
Finally he would make his way to Ithania at the age of 92 where he would find his longest employment in the service of Lady Veradisia Desrosiers. A Isldar noblewoman who took him in after experiencing some financial hardships. She took good care of him and was the first to be given a loyalty contract with one that is still active to this day.
The two would spend nearly two decades in Ithania where he would protect her to the best of his ability during that time. He would also experience a shocking moment as she was kidnapped right from under him by a Coven of Ithanian vampires. A strange ritual was being done to Vera but Machatl was able to kill most of them but before he killed the last they sought divine retribution in the form of a curse by prayer, throwing this at him before he could do anything. He was able to drag Vera and himself out of there but was forever changed.
Eventually she wished to go to Regalia as Ithania was no longer safe and he joined her hoping his troubles were behind him.
Recent: Regalia - Age 111 (Present)
Machatl would continue bodyguarding Vera as she gained the trust of the peerage and schemed as she often did. After some time in the city he gathered a loyal guard to his Lady, all bound to his soul contract, he was able to more freely use his time for other things as she had less need of him.
He has only recently gained this freedom of time and has not been able to explore everything just yet that the city has to offer but has made a few acquaintances where he could.
