Mission Points

Mission Points are a form of renown but not quite the equivalent of Experience points. Those familiar with Werewolf: The Apocalypse will be more familiar with the concept.

Angels have Gigs for lack of a better word and, when playing out their various missions, gather a modicum of Renown (or mission Points) that allow them to gather rank while simultaneously aiding mortals and enjoying  Reality at the same time. By fulfilling their ongoing missions, the Elohim keep the great wheel spinning.

Mission points are used to gain Rank (which in turn offers new Essence Path levels). The Elohim need not spend mission points to gain rank, they only need to have achieved the required amount.

For those angels who want to take their time, they may use Mission points to gain new apocalyptic Mien aspects, or to even buy Talents, Skills or Knowledges).

Backgrounds can be only be gained through story.

There are 3 kinds of Missions with each of the Celestial Armies gaining different points for each. For instance, an Angel of the Auroch Armies would get 3 points for a mission of Mercy (due to their protective make-up), while they would only get 1 point for a mission of Vision (due to their stoic nature, mental meanderings don’t necessarily apply to them as readily). Keep in mind that these aren’t any indication on who or what your angel is, this is just a system for them developing rank.
