Supernatural Being Masquerading as a Human

Value
Frequently, Major: 15 Points
Description
A character with this Complication is a supernatural being (such as a werewolf, vampire, fairy, or even an otherwise "mundane" wizard) living in a human society where such creatures exist, but are not known to exist, by the general public. Moreover, the character is actively attempting to pass as a human being in order to live among them.
This Complication is primarily meant for use in modern horror/fantasy campaigns where the existence of magic and the supernatural is not a widely known fact, but may be applicable in other campaigns at the GM's discretion. Generally, in such campaigns, supernatural beings are common enough to have their own subculture, but not their own society. Thus, they hide among the humans and regularly interact with them. In addition to the individual desire to avoid excessive notice, there is usually an agreement among the subculture to conceal their presence.
The agreement may either be a formal one ("By the Ancient Covenant of Kreurk, we are forbidden to lift the Veil and reveal the existence of the Fae to Humanity") or a wildly informal one ("If youse lets the norms know we vampires exist, we's all in hot water, so if you blows our cover, we're gonna ice you.") Not only must the character avoid using his powers or indulging unusual eating habits where he can be observed, but he should also avoid interacting with the medical system or law enforcement officials.
Failure to successfully stay hidden usually results in humans attempting to kill, capture or worship the character, and may draw fire from other super-naturals. Characters with this Complication often have easily concealable Distinctive Features appropriate to the type of supernatural being they are, as well as Physical and Psychological Complications traditionally associated with their kind.
