Mark

A Mark is the divine essance of angels that exists within normal human beings. The original origin of Marks is unknown, only that an angel created them. Aside from the rare occurance between Daniel Mitchell and Conley Mitchell, everyone who possesses a mark never possesses the same one.

So far, it seems that only people born from a marked parent possesses a mark. It is unknown if there is another way to obtain one, if at all possible.

Background Information
Though the exact origin is unknown, it is known that a Mark is the angellic powers of angels stored inside of a regular human being. Aside from granting access to these angellic powers, it also seems to relatively slow the wielder's aging process, as noted by many about Aaric Mitchell's appearence who is in his fifties but looks no older than his early thirties.

The distinguishing feature of marked people is the massive tattoo-like cross on their backs for males. For females, they possess a smaller tattoo-like cross on the back of their necks, commonly being hidden by their hair. Each cross also differs in design and seems to refelct on the wielder's mark (i.e. Aaric Mitchell's cross being formed from the sun and solar waves to mimic his Sunlight Manipulation mark.).

Usage
While not under any form of obediance to do so, a person weilding a mark typically uses it to kill demons and vampires and witches. However, there are times where a marked person will begin to play the role of God and attack the general population, leading them to becoming an international criminal as mentioned by Caleb Mitchell.

However, a marked person might also use their angellic powers to simply help them with everyday situations or to help them with medical situations, as seen when Daniel used his mark to slow down the molecules in Jensen Alistair's body to lower his body temperature and fever.

Aaric Mitchell often uses his mark of Sunlight Manipulation to generate light sources in the dark rather than using actual lights. Caleb Mitchell uses his mark of Telekinesis to often bring objects far from him closer to him, whether he is simply too lazy to get up himself or if he can't move.

Different Types of Marks
Aside from Daniel Mitchell and Conley Mitchell's case, everybody who possesses a mark usually doesn't possess one that someone else also has, though there are times where they might be similar such as Kenton Alexandria's Hydrification mark and Orion Marco's Water Manipulation mark.

There are also forms of marks that are noted to be extremely rare, if not unheard of. Aaric Mitchell possesses on of these marks. Common marks include: The more rare forms of a mark include:
 * Sound Manipulation (possessed by Jensen Alistair)
 * Water Manipulation (possessed by Orion Marco)
 * Telekinesis (possessed by Caleb Mitchell)
 * Hydrification (possessed by Kenton Alexandria)
 * Sunlight Manipulation (possessed by Aaric Mitchell)
 * Molecular Manipulation (possessed by Daniel Mitchell and Conley Mitchell)
 * Gravitational Alteration (possessed by Jocelyn Masters and an unknown deceased marked woman)
 * Smoke Transformation (possessed by Becka)

Control
The way each person controls their mark also differs depending on the strength of the mark. For Caleb Mitchell, it requires just simple thought to hold it back and to prevent losing control. However, due to the sheer power of their marks, Conley Mitchell and Daniel Mitchell must release the power of their marks back into their own bodies. This causes Conley's body temperature to be increasingly high and causes severe damage to his internal organs while Daniel's body temperature is severely low. However, these body temperatures quickly become normal to them.

Some marks, however, do not have an easy way of control. As seen in Kenton Alexandria's case, he turns into water whenever he is about to be injured or whenever water touches his skin. He does, however, maintain at least minimal control of his mark, being able to turn into water freely if water isn't already touching him.

Mark Aspect Creation
Mark Aspect Creation is a rare skill that allows the wielder of a mark to develop more aspects of their mark to either increase its destructive capabilities or to use as a work around of the drawbacks of a mark. Aaric Mitchell is the only confirmed person to have used Mark Aspect Creation to work around the drawback of needing to constantly be around sunlight for his mark to work.

Aaric Mitchell created the apsect of Sunlight Absorption to absorb sunlight and store it in his body. However, this in turn created the more fatal drawback of constantly needing sunlight in his body or else he runs the risk of his lungs and heart failing without it.

Trivia

 * While they possesses the same mark but different aspects of it, Conley's version of Molecular Manipulation and Daniel's version of Molecular Manipulation work opposite to the others (Conley's works more through heat whereas Daniel's works more through coldness.).
 * Aaric has been given the nickname "Apollo" by Becka; Apollo is the god of the sun and Aaric manipulates sunlight.
