			Sometimes you’ve gotta be ready to disappear. Especially
			for shape-changers, clones, or people in dangerous professions
			(spies, informers, assassins, etc.), the ability to adopt alternate
			identities can mean the difference between a new life and an
			unmarked grave. With this Background, you can duck behind
			a fake identity; the higher the rating, the more support you
			have for that identity’s existence. Each dot in Alternate Identity
			provides a certain level of official recognition that stands up to
			increasing degrees of scrutiny. A cheap fake ID could get you
			past a bouncer, but it won’t fool the Highway Patrol!

			By itself, an alternate identity is useful but not extremely
			so. You can use a new ID for a short time, but that’ll leave you
			starting fresh unless you’re planning to rebuild your life from
			scratch. Other Background Traits, however, can be linked to
			an alternate identity; you won’t be able to get a new Avatar,
			of course, but you might have Allies, Resources, Spies, and so
			on that are connected to that new you. For each dot in the
			Alternate Identity Background, you may add one dot’s worth of
			other Background Traits to your other self. You’ll still need to
			pay points for those Backgrounds, of course – they don’t come
			free with this Trait. Still, if and when you need to ditch your
			previous identity, you could have new resources waiting for you.
			(See the sidebar '''''Differential Backgrounds''''' for more details.)

			Strong IDs stand up to close observation. To penetrate an
			alternate identity, a character would need to roll a Mental Trait
			+ Investigation against a difficulty of your Alternate Identity +
			3. You can purchase this Trait several times in order to reflect
			a set of alternate IDs. Even so, you should use some form of
			magick or disguise to provide distinct appearances for your
			different identities. Sure, your driver’s license might read “Jane
			Palmer,” but if you still look, act, and sound like Eva Morrissey,
			you’ll probably be recognized as the latter.

			:X -- You’re just you.
			:• -- A fake driver’s license that kinda looks like you.
			:•• -- A passable fake ID, plus a few supporting documents.
			:••• -- Respectable identification papers and support documents that’ll pass casual inspection.
			:•••• -- An established alternative identity.
			:••••• -- A fully supported identity with complete history, support documents, witnesses, fake family photos, alternate homes and so on.
