The Vigil and the Accords seem, only too often, to be an overbearing presence that dictates the minutiae of daily life for supernaturals. Given the protection and influence that people belonging to either party can afford someone, it's no wonder that most folks are willing to surrender many of their personal liberties in order for some stability, or maybe even some peace of mind.
But that's most people. Some people beyond the Veil are powerful enough all on their own such that neither the Vigils nor the Accords interest them, or can sway them in any fashion. Some people beyond the Veil don't want to do that, and struggle on a near-daily basis to keep themselves from getting embroiled in the chaos of it all. Still others have slipped between the cracks in perfect silence, becoming mere faces in crowds that walk the streets of the Fifth World's cities.
These people may be your allies, or your enemies. You may even choose to ignore them entirely. It's all up to you.
THE DELA CRUZ-WU FAMILY Aliases: None
Current Location: Traveling around the Philippines UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED RIVERS HUNTERS
The Dela Cruz-Wus are yet another urban legend of the Philippines, particularly popular in the Visayas and Mindinao regions versus the Elias Tagabigay sightings that have primarily been concentrated in Luzon. Tabloids cite them as Good Samaritans, providing assistance to stranded travelers, and more-than-occasionally busting up human trafficking rings and drug dens along their route, or helping people with “special needs” as though they were Midnight Riders. All reports agree that it’s a family of three: Carlito – a small-time celebrity once known for his action movies and survival documentaries – his Chinese wife Mei, and their son Anton.

The Dela Cruz-Wu family resurfaced during the Ides, filling Maharlika reports with their exploits. Now that things have settled down again in the Philippines, however, they appear to have vanished again. The United Vigil is hoping for willing liaisons to look into them, and ask if they're interested in helping out - for the right price, at any rate.
