Those that bear the mark of the hero are both blessed and cursed!

Some blood lines have the ability to produce True Heroes that are attuned to a core Alignment. those who have the mark of the hero(a magical tattoo shows up on one of the hands or torso) are blessed by a supernatural Force that grants them abilities beyond their normal reach so they might be able to complete a task they may or may not know what the task they have been chosen complete is. They are also cursed by Fate to live a life of strife the mark appears during puberty and will often bring misfortune to those that are close to them.
