Natures

A Mark usually has 2-5 Natures that determine their Æthers, and base chaos scale, as well as their occupant's traits and how they will react to different Jack actions. 

There is however nothing stopping you from boosting an Æther, base chaos scale, or adding an extra trait here or there. 

The Natures are categorised by Advantageous, Neutral and Disadvantageous, Adversarial for the Jacks. The more advantageous natures, the easier for the Jacks. As Jack gain levels, give your Marks more disadvantageous Natures.
