The Masquerade

The Masquerade on this server has been changed. Rather than enforcing it as a strict 'no contact with anyone', all levels of the Masquerade enforce the idea of 'keeping things secret from the humans', but the level changes depending on other splats. This also controls the flow of information.

There are 5 levels.

Open
Open means there is no masquerade here, and normal people that are subject to the Delirium, the Mist, Revelation, etc. do not count as a violation and no action will be taken.

Light
The masquerade is enforced from humans, but the information flow isn't restricted. While becoming Crinos or exposing your glamour is a no-no, speaking of things that would reveal your nature here isn't considered bad. This is usually used in places like Safehouses, Moots -- or generally places where its mostly kinfolk/kinain/thralls but outsiders (like your friendly pet woof) can visit.

Normal (Default)
Don't ask, don't tell. While the masquerade doesn't apply to other supernatural races, it's considered bad form to start sharing the details of your world. While you can endanger yourself by telling the Technocrative Operative pretending to be your coffee barista about your secret life as a werewolf, the moment you tell them about missions that are sept secrets is the moment you're being culled.

Heavy
Used in large gatherings, this is a huge 'casa nostra' business. Keep it to yourself, don't elude to your nature, and don't expose anyone to it. You can use abilities that aren't explicitly obvious, but it's the time to be a person and hide among the sheep. Violations in this level are considered far more egregious, as the person who exposed their secret seems to lack the common sense to shut up about it.

Closed
There's something about this area that makes anything risky. From being in a technocratic area, to being filmed by a movie crew. A violation here WILL result in a culling.
