Double Unlife

Double Unlife is a vampire-only background suitable for passing yourself off as a different vampire.

• One Dot: Your character has learned the right name to drop and claimed a sire who is a confirmed member of the sect/clan she wants to insert herself in. Your character has no relationship with this vampire, however, and would be wise to choose someone who can't say "no", like a finally-dead one.
• Two Dots: Your character furthermore has a handful of references in other cities who will confirm her as that sect/clan. These vampires are low-or-no status, so they can't help you jockey for position, but they can and will claim that you are who you say you are. Whether that's because they owe you or because they know you is a different story.
• Three Dots: Your character does in fact have a relationship with the sire that they claim and that sire will confirm your alternate identity regardless of whether he actually wants to because now his reputation (and perhaps even his head) depends on yours. Your character has built a legitimate reputation in the sect/clan over the past as well. This reputation has not garnered your character status but it has garnered credibility.
• Four Dots: Your alternate identity has risen to significant status at some point. Regardless of whether you still hold title within that sect/clan, if someone among them finds out who you are, they'll know that exposing you means exposing them all as ignorant and incompetent for having failed to realize your illusion when you were so prominent. NPCs will participate in a conspiracy of silence if they find out who you really are.
• Five Dots: You have some history with members of the sect/clan who are now the luminaries, which means your conspiracy of silence has participants in high places. They're probably willing to bury whoever will expose you, literally or metaphorically. NPCs will actively protect your identity.
