🌸 Angel Marks 🌸

Angel marks are golden, shimmering marks on the bodies of some angels. They receive them when they undergo the age of majority ritual, the most important of the holy rituals. After that, angels do not usually receive any more marks. It is unclear how the marks were originally created, as this type of ritual did not always exist. 

There were always angels who had a few marks, but only the original Ruling Family had most of the marks, which is why they were a kind of distinguishing symbol. However, due to the traditional Celestial clothing, the marks of the Ruling Family were rarely visible, or at least only partially. The current Ruling Family even dresses in such a way that none of the typical areas of the angel marks are visible. 

Typically, angel marks are most commonly found on the upper arms, the décolleté and the back. In rare cases, they can also be found on the wrists, ankles, neck or thighs. The pattern of the marks themselves can always vary slightly, as can the exact location on the body. In very rare cases, the skin underneath the marks has a golden, shimmering gradient. However, this only really occurred in the Ruling Family. The marks also have different stages. The first time after receiving them, they are quite plain, like golden stripes on the skin. In most cases, the marks remain like this. In rare cases, they then change again and take on a shape that is more reminiscent of ornamentation, usually in the form of small arches or spikes. Sometimes a mixture of both. In the final stage, further small ornaments are added. However, these are actually more of an extended form of the angelic form and usually only occur within the Ruling Family. Within the original Ruling Family, this form of markings is quite common and the type and quantity of markings is usually passed on.
