Themes & Moods
Fear Of The Unknown - There are many things that go bump in the night, and almost as many that go bump in the daylight if you are not careful. The pulled shades on every window are there to hide the horrors that the human mind can't fathom, and the steam that escapes from the manholes is more than just bursts of hot air. Things always exist outside of a Mage's vision, no matter what gifts have been provided to them, and the only knowledge they can count on is that they are not alone in this world.
Ignorance Of The Society - The Awakened are plenty familiar of themselves, but that is the best they can say for any of the Fallen World. They've heard the countless stories of ghouls that live in abandoned houses, the predators that stalk the night, and even the beasts that wear the faces of men. While many can have theories and anecdotes on what exists out there, the only information anyone can trust is that which they gain firsthand.
Evil In All Guises - While the Awakened are especially suited to handle the deeper threats that plague the city and the horrors that stalk through it's shadows, they must never discredit the darkness that even the most mundane of men hold in their hands. The darkness that sleeps in a person's heart is not selective about the gifts that they have been given, and only care about the will to carry out their dark deeds.
Walking With A Target - Seeing the supernal among the mundane is not a one-way mirror; when you gaze into the abyss, it gazes back at you, and touching the other side of the veil without caution can let others become aware of these gifts. Some will want you to help them. Some will want you to not help them. Worse yet, some will want to make sure you will not help anybody.
