Hi there!
Quick idea here:
What if the portrait border color of the mercenary changes depending the current contract faction?
Its a really little change, but can help the mercenary on the trials and when she uses rebound. Also its a good tool if you dont know at all the class of your contract.

It isn’t a big change, but can make it look nicer, +1 from me 
This would actually legitimately help with the Mercs as it can get rid of the instant merc assumption everyone has when you whisper to a non-king D1-D2 and on rare occasions D3. Which can actually be useful without the killers knowing theres a Merc ingame.
How Mercenary games would work:
hi im merc
<What am I?
u are neut.
<Correct. Now you’re a confirmed Mercenary. Tell them I’m BD, though. Just to help yourself out.
I mean the problem with that is that what happens if your target is a mastermind or a neutral killer and you do not want your mercenary to know your class. So I see this as a negative thing in 2 ways: A) allows the mercenary to know the faction of their contract when the target my not necessarily, as mentioned above; B) It makes mercenary harder to fake claim which I think is a bad thing.
Well, then you increase the chance that mercs rebel against their first contract because they are X
That assumption generally helps mercs, though. People are less likely to attack you or your target if they know you’re a merc, and of course identifying yourself to your target avoids them attacking you or wasting actions on you. Usually, as a merc, when I whisper my target D1, it’s at least partially intended to give everyone the general sense that I’m their merc.
But I don’t think the basic idea in this thread is good. It should be up to the merc’s target what they want to share - it shouldn’t be revealed to anyone automatically. The mercenary is not part of the same faction as their target and shouldn’t be treated that way.
