Hidden Life

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

The True Fae are occasionally known as the "hidden folk" because they are only seen when they wish to be, and your character shares some of this ability.

Effect

Anyone attempting to gather or obtain any information about your character, by either supernatural or mundane means, must subtract a number of dice equal to your character’s dots in this Merit from all rolls to perform such activities.

Mortals must also subtract an equal number of dice from all rolls to remember any information about her, or her actions - including what your character even looked like.

Changelings with the Hidden Life Merit often live on the fringes of mortal society, since their records can easily become lost. While police officers forgetting to write up reports of minor crimes your character committed can be extremely helpful, having the company your character works for lose her paycheck less cool.

Drawback

If your Changeling is ever noticed by the media or somehow gains any significant degree of Fame, she temporarily loses the Hidden Life Merit until her Fame or notoriety fades.

Fortunately, given the nature of this Merit, this occurs more swiftly than normal.

Changelings who are public figures cannot have this Merit. They are just far too conspicuous.
