Mark Progression
| Marked [Cursed] - 1 Gnosis Mark | |
| Marked individuals can first and foremost spot Otani readily. Otani will recognize them and often seek them out to play and communicate. Individuals with one Laviku mark can also drink salt water and have the mark automatically convert it to fresh water for ocean survival. Individuals know the direction of the sea if they are on land and how far away it is (in aprox miles). They also immediately recognize where progression tide is, meaning if it is incoming or outgoing or in transition between. | |
| Favored [Despised] - 2 Gnosis Marks | |
| Favored Laviku followers gain the ability to breathe underwater while submerged into ocean water. Bearers of two marks do not need gills or spells to make this happen. The marks themselves automatically convert water around their faces into fresh air that they are then able to breathe. At this rank, followers are able to sense currents, depth of the seafloor beneath them, and life found in the sea within the immediate area (within a mile). | |
| Priest/Priestess [Adversary] - 3 Gnosis Marks | |
| Priestesses and Priests of Laviku can call and command the Otani at will. Otani act as their servants and will openly do their bidding for small offerings of fish, fruit, or even blood. At this rank, in addition to all the other gifts, the Priesthood of Laviku can summon and control sea creatures by force of will. They loose all fear of sea predators such as sharks and toothed whales, which recognize them as servants of Laviku and thus untouchable. At this level, the priesthood can alter and control ocean currents, though this is considered very dangerous and potentially having long term impacts on the currents they manipulate. | |
| Champion [Nemesis] - 4 Gnosis Marks | |
| The Champion of Laviku is second only to Laviku himself in terms of power within the worlds Oceans. In addition to all the other abilities Oceanus grants, a champion can control all of Laviku's powerful children - the Leviathans and Alvina of the seas. | |

Out of character note: Starting players who are Svefra do not need permission to start off with a single gnosis mark by Laviku. However, they still need to post in the Help Desk in order to get a Storyteller Secrets thread and have their mark official. Permission will always be granted however, in the case of Svefra. |
