Conventional means were not enough for you to slay the monsters you pursue. Through intense training and blood magic you have brought yourself closer to the creatures you hunt in order to better understand them, and better slay them. The Blood Rituals you engaged in are closely guarded secrets by a few select orders. Each of these orders specializes in a different variety of monstrosity, knowing concoctions to harm them, and tinctures to shield against them. Despite their specializations they are all of them proficient hunters of a wide variety of creatures. Unfortunately the very same ritual that granted your powers has left your soul marked for all to see and common folk will always regard you with caution at best, but more frequently with fear.
