MET LARP SRD

(2013 BNS MET System)

Create Name

Level 7
3 DT actions

Obfuscate • Level 7

Like a great novelist inventing a featured protagonist for her next great story, you have the power to create an entirely new identity that you can wrap yourself in like a trusty cloak. No longer limited to visual trickery, your powers of Obfuscate come with a false familiarity, vague memories, and shared experiences that your observers fall prey to.

3 DT actions

System

The penultimate power of Obfuscate, Create Name allows you to create a completely new persona. You must spend a total of 3 downtime actions in focused concentration to create an identity complete with a new face and body, speech pattern, aura, thought processes and supporting memories. Once created you gain a special 5 dot Alternate Identity Background.

This power can be used to impersonate another individual; however, doing so requires you to spend 2 downtimes and for you to have familiarity with the individual you seek to impersonate. This most likely necessitates continued contact with your target; otherwise, the familiarity may fade. Once the downtime actions are spent, you gain a special 5 dot Alternate Identity Background as the individual you are impersonating.

Finally, this power can be used on others if given enough time. You and your target must each spend 2 downtime actions as you systematically train your target to be their new identity. A user of Create Name can maintain a number of Alternate Identities up to their dots in Stealth. If you choose to deactivate the power, or if you are killed or placed in torpor, the effects of the power end and any Alternate Identities that you have created are lost.

Creating an Alternate Identity in this way does not cost XP. An Alternate Identity created by this power behaves just like the background with the following exceptions:

In all cases, should an Alternate Identity created by this power be compromised, it only reveals that the identity is false and not the character’s true identity. If you die or choose to retract any granted identities, those Alternate Identities fade after 24 hours. The characters using those identities will intuitively know their identity is fading.
