The markings are sort of like a coming of age thing for Truscan's. when they get the glowy markings, they usually get assigned as a guardian of something/someone.
so they don't have the markings until they get their powers and know how to use them.
This one i believe was egyptian based.... yeah xD (had to make sure cause i did an aztec one too)
i haven't actually figured out his power yet, but i figured it'd be okay to get into that later xD
