Viratas and The Mark
Viratas is a god of dichotomy, rewarding both the shedding of blood and the preservation thereof. For his followers, ends often justify means.
The god values loyalty to one's community and family, and will look favorably on acts of violence that are done to preserve the sanctity of the collective, such as fighting an enemy to save one's people or personal sacrifice to protect a family member. Viratas is known to award those wounded in struggles defending others. Those who are alone in the world with allegiance to nothing will never draw the god's favor.
However, Viratas abhors the pointless shedding of blood. He will weigh intents and consequences and judge the one who shed blood accordingly before contemplating the award of a gnosis.
What creates variation in his followers is the disagreement between what is a worthy cause to shed blood for and what is an unworthy cause.
Mechanics
Appearance
Viratas's gnosis is a glass like chain circling the bicep of the recipient's arm. Upon receiving the first mark, the entire chain appears, but most of it is inactive. The chain is a literal object, not just a mark on skin. The links lie close to the flesh, unbreakable, immovable and weightless. Every chain has twelves links and with each gnosis, three of the links are activated. An active link takes on a living hue. The color shifts, clouds and swirls between all the deep shades of red.
