Birthright Power

Veilmarked Warrior are a completely random and powerful group of warriors who thrive off a genetic mutation granting them confusing powers. People rumor they aren't truly random, and chosen by higher powers, since anyone who has anyone received the mark ended up being a fighter, and typically amount to something relatively strong. It does however remain dormant, as people who have learned martial skills later in life after being other classes can still manifest their Veilmark.

 

Post-Awakening

Awakening a Veilmark comes with time, most people aren't able to manifest it until experiencing something traumatic in their life, awakening it in them. This is usually tied to passing an unknown threshold of experience as well, as no beginner fighters are able to manifest it until growing a bit in strength. Upon awakening it though, it never leaves or goes dormant, it is active throughout death and revival.
