Sleeping With the Enemy
Flaw · 3 pts
You have some sort of intimate connection with a member of an opposing Sect or inimical Clan. You may have a lover, a childe, a friend, or a contact working the other side of the fence, but regardless of politics you retain a friendly (or more than friendly) relationship with your putative foe. Your close ties to someone on the other side would be regarded as treason by your superiors within the Sect, and if you are discovered, the penalty will surely be death.

A paramour of yours belongs to an enemy group – Awakened antagonists, perhaps, or maybe one of the Night-Folk (as per the old Flaw: Massasa Contact). This isn’t simply a matter of rivalry; if you’re discovered, you’re both probably gonna die. Still, love (or lust) is a powerful force, and so you and your loved one live out one of those Romeo and Juliet situations. Just remember, though: Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, not a romance, and things are likely to go the same way for you. (Again, see the entries for both those genres in
Chapter Five’s section regarding Genre, Storytelling, and Mage.)
