When athe [[Masquerade]] of an extranormal person (whether spirit, [[Time Travel|time traveler]], dimension-hopper, [[Robot Girl]] or in some cases, immortal) is able to suddenly enter society and seamlessly pose as a normal human despite the major record gaps, lack of official citizenship, or other problems that would arise if it were to occur in real life. [[Alien Among Us|Space aliens in disguise]] and even [[Human Aliens|aliens that don't need a disguise]] never seem to get the same problems with immigration that [[The Illegal|regular aliens]] have.
 
The character gets an Undead Tax Exemption. It's often implied they use mind control or magic to either brainwash or [[A Wizard Did It|literally "magic up" an identity for themselves]]. Usually only a possibility for evil characters/monsters/vampires though; heroic ones will always be a [[Fish Out of Water]], while [[Villains Blend in Better]].
