Try and keep the aesthetic impulses in check people. That kind of obsession over looks is totally slannesh bait.
 
It's also super weird.

It seems the thread has hit the critical mass to devolve into nothing but memes overnight. That's disappointing. I enjoyed this thread.

Excised of the mechanical minutiae:

Flicker: Light seems uncomfortable in your presence. Candles flicker, lantens dim and fires burn low when you are around.
Trickster: You cloak yourself in deception and misdirection, making you untrustworthy to others.
Mantle of Mist: Mist, fog, smoke and other vapours seem drawn to your side. This adds a bonus to Intimidate Tests made in fog banks and other suitable conditions, but does mean you tend to reek of smoke all the time.
Aspect of Ulgu: Your frame lightens and tightens whilst your hair colour changes to grey.
Forgettable: People can't seem to remember your face. Characters who've met you must succeed on an Intelligence Test to recall who you are.
Disturbing Eyes: Your eyes become grey and swirl with unnatural darkness. You gain a bonus to Intimidate Tests.
Insubstantial: Your body becomes slightly insubstantial. You gain a bonus to Concealment Tests, but you take a penalty to your Toughness characteristic.
Unnatural shadow: Your shadow does not behave itself - moving often of it's own accord. The shifting wrongness of your shadow puts folk ill at ease, imposing a penalty to Fellowship Tests made when interacting with non-magic users. Worse, superstitious peasants will need convincing that you are not a Daemon.
Shrouded: Your body draws shadows towards it. You gain a bonus to Concealment Tests.
Mark of Ulgu: The rune of Ulgu appears somewhere on your body. You gain a bonus to Channelling checks when casting spells from the Lore of Shadow.
 
Ah, you just beat me to it.

I'll add that the only way to get them is to miscast. There's a 10% chance with every miscast and you have to fail a willpower test modified by how badly you fucked up to get one. No duplicates, if you would get the same one twice, reroll.

8 marks that are purely physical or affect the elements around you.

Then Forgettable and Trickster are just 'people forget you' and 'you're untrustworthy'.

Two of these things are not like the others~

Thats kind if the point, to authenticate without ever seeing the face.

Most agents should never physically encounter the spymaster. And this is not an age with photos.

Anton's dice continue to be ridiculous. He has no business succeeding at the things he succeeds at.

Is that why he thinks of Mathilde as a little sister?
Too much like him?
