Titles of the God-Touched
As the Mark of the Divine grows, it claims more of a character’s Lenses. Each stage has a name — not a rule, but a story label. These titles suggest how the world might see you, and how much of you remains your own.
Touched (1 Lens):
- The Player standard
- You bear the god’s mark, but most of you is still mortal.
- Strange, uncanny, but recognizable as human.
Prophet (2 Lenses):
- The god’s voice resounds louder.
- Your words or actions may already ripple with divine influence, whether you want them to or not.
- People may look to you for guidance — or avoid you in fear.
Saint (3 Lenses):
- Half in the world, half out.
- A mortal who embodies the god’s paradox, carrying signs and contradictions in every gesture.
- Revered, cursed, or both — you are a living foreshadowing of what the god demands.
Angel (4 Lenses):
- Unplayable.
- The god has fully claimed you; all mortal Lenses are gone.
- What remains is no longer a character but an instrument — an NPC under GM control.
- Angels are terrible, beautiful, and wholly alien.
GM Note
//These titles are narrative only. // They carry no mechanical changes beyond the loss of Lenses already established. But they can color how NPCs react, how factions perceive you, and how your own story feels.
