Passing Appearance

†

Passing Appearance†

Regardless of your true ethnicity, race, or sex, your looks never trigger bigoted NPCs' biases or Intolerance disadvantages (although your words might!). Moreover, if someone like you would normally have a Social Stigma in your setting, you lack that Stigma – and if the Stigma is racial, this perk acts as a small Unusual Background that lets you buy it off at the usual cost.

You must specialize by type of looks. Two common examples:

Androgynous: With minimal effort, you can ensure that you're mistaken for whatever sex is convenient. Above-average Appearance with the Androgynous modifier means you don't need this perk.

Passing Complexion: Your ethnicity isn't readily apparent to onlookers.

At the GM's discretion, this perk is cinematic or even exotic if there's no believable way to explain others mistaking your appearance.
