[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 3511469, member: 359"] Never tell anyone the entire truth, about anything. After all, deception is a skill, and like any other skill, it must be practiced. Even your best friends shouldn't be entirely sure about what's true and what isn't. But don't make it hurtful lies, or something that's going to get you into trouble - that will just lead to problems. Just don't tell them the truth. Honestly, if you've seen Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, act like Garak. He's a "plain, simple tailor" who turns out to be one of the finest spies in one of the best intelligence agencies in the series. Even his best friend in the show doesn't really know his whole story until near the end. If you can get a Hat of Disguise, do so. Cultivate multiple identities, and spend enough time in each of them to give them some reality. Develop friendships, business partners, the whole deal. You'll just have to give some reason as to why you're not around all the time. Unverifiable facts are your friend. If people see holes in your story, they'll tear it apart, but if they never get enough details to see those holes, it'll work better. [/QUOTE]
