Pretenders - Those who change in social situations, who need to flow and adapt, or hide away. Driven by a need to fit in. Pretenders goals involving influencing others, or creating / wrecking friendships / romances.
Pretenders' gift is a MASQUE, face covering fetishes that hold information and abilities. Masques can be passed around and worn by anyone. In deeper parts of the Shard, simpler Dream-things see the Masques being worn as different to the same person masqueless.
Pretenders use Memories to place those memories inside the Masque.
Pretenders use Hopes to imbue new abilities in the Masques.
Pretenders also use Hopes to create new, simpler Masques.
Embracing Personal Hope let's the Mask embrace and merge with their Masques, revealing their need to hide or change. A Hopeful Pretender has the memories and abilities of many people, but with a singularity of purpose.
When you create your Pretender, choose from one of the following;
* Harlequin; You are a wily, mercurial manipulator...
* El Capitan; You are a liar and a convincing actor...
* Pierrot; You hide pain and vulnerability behind your mask...
You choose two personalities from five different options when you create your Masque;
* The Christopher; in DT & Jaunts, NPCs will believe what you say.
* The Ress; in DT & Jaunts, NPCs don't pay attention to you.
* The Pablo; the Masque provides Armour.
* The Titus; in DT & Jaunts, a moniker of your own choice is well known and respected or feared.
* The Isolde; the Masque provides Songs and the ability to use Emotion.
Example
Ideas; "NJ", a waif, a starlet, a sex kitten, a junkie, a girl looking for a safe world.
"Lucas", an emotional Singer and inspiring presence whose masque hides an internal darkness.
