For one reason or another, you have been forced or have chosen to create a new identity for yourself, hiding the real you from the world. Only a few people, if anyone, knows of your true identity and that's the way you like it. You have constructed a whole new identity: name, background, family, the whole lot. You just hope you can keep this act up before someone catches on and finds out the truth

Feature: False Identity
You have created a second identity that includes documentation, established acquaintances, and disguises that allow you to assume that persona. Additionally, you can forge documents including official papers and personal letters, as long as you have seen an example of the kind of document or the handwriting you are trying to copy.
Suggested Characteristics
The true you, the identity which you chose to keep hidden, is a mystery to everyone but you. Perhaps the personality of this character you have invented is reminiscent of the true you or perhaps it is all pretend and no one apart from you knows who you truly are deep down
