The common terms are branded, marked, and painted. The brands on the Asylin citizenry are produced from several different berries that near-permanently dye the skin. The process is not invasive.The term painted refers to indigenous peoples that decorate large portions of their skin, especially their faces. This is most common in Evipau and Norikadians.The term marked refers to simple designs applied to one's own body as a show of expression.The term branded refers to simple marks applied to another's body, sometimes without the receiver's consent. Asylim, Eastaboga, and Thisidaboga all use this to mark criminals. Only Asylim also uses it to make economic class distinctions. (Think India, but the mark is on the arm not the forehead.)[/ooc]Sannit strokes his beard and says, Merin nods, and says to Sannit,Sheldon runs his left hand through his hair pulling it back from his face."Good point. Since we are currently heading in the opposite direction, we should have time to plan this out. We should try to get a look at a regular soldier's or someone else's we want to imitate."Turning to Sheldon, Merin continues:Sheldon shrugs his shoulders and bobbles his head."I may have started this direction in the beginning, but since Saemund and even Sannit are developing the Theological mechanism for manipulating Way, I have begun to try to increase my sensitivity to it. It should not be long before Saemund and Sannit can surpass my current skill.As far as guards go, gate duty is the worst. It is where the incompetent and lazy are stationed. I don't foresee any real difficulty in fooling one."Tor adds,Sheldon, again, runs his left hand through his hair pulling it back from his face."That me be a little overly hopeful. This talent we have for compulsion take another mental faculties away from them. The victim may no longer be able to provide anything since they are effectively a simpleton.Again, we still have some time for this. I am currently thinking that we may have a better chance of gathering accurate information from the lowest members of that society, from the workers."</blockquote>
