General Information
Those who aren't quite as powerful as many of what would be considered, 'Supernatural' creatures yet are still able to do what they may in their own way. This includes mortals with supernatural merits, or merits from any of the five templates in the book, 'Hurt Locker'. What might be considered mortal+ in other areas such as ghouls, wolfbloods, proximi, etc. Are part of the supernatural sphere that they are related to.

Strangers in a Strange World
The Mortal+ templates aren't full supernaturals, of course. This doesn't just mean that they lack the same power as full supers, but that they also lack the same knowledge. Psychics have even more occluded origins than vampires, some of whom can trace back their heritage for centuries even if they don't know how vampires ultimately originated. Mages even have a myth surrounding why they exist, be it true or not. The majority of Mortal+ sorts... Not so much. Even the Lost Boys and Plain don't have all the information regarding why they are the way they are, to say nothing of the Dreamers or even Atariya. They have a little knowledge of course that the supernatural exists, but not much more than that. Wonder, the fear of the unknown, and all the things between are possible for such individuals.

Outliers of the Weird
Mortal+ individuals harbor unique phenomena, compared to many other supernaturals. There is no unified explanation for them in most cases, and even then the technology powering the Lost Boys and the mysterious force behind the beliefs of the Plain are utterly unprecedented. Others even beyond the cause of their powers (Where certain) will take an interest for good or ill.

Normalcy, or not?
The world that the Mortal+ templates live in can be complicated, particularly when their abilities are acquired in the course of an otherwise normal life with normal ties and responsibilities. What happens when your military career ends due to your commander's metaphorical deal with the devil, and you start working for a shadowy group? What happens when you suddenly find out you can read the minds of those closest to you and they're not who you thought they were? These things and more can happen, prompting anything from drastically immersing oneself in the search for answers to maintaining a delicate balance between their strange abilities and their mundane lives.
