''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/deviants-masquerade-an-anthology-series.731824/ Deviant's Masquerade]]'' is a series of {{Web Serial Novel}}s on [[Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom SpaceBattles]], Royal Road, and [[Sandbox/SufficientVelocityDotCom Sufficient Velocity]] written by Arthicern.
These stories take place mainly in an [[Main/UrbanFantasy Urban Fantasy]] {{Superhero}} version of the USA after an event known as the Rift Riots made the existence of Human Deviations or Deviants known to the world.
{{Muggle Power}} then ensued, spearheaded by an organization known simply as Asylum. Deviants lost all human rights and were routinely murdered on the streets or carried off by Asylum to a wide variety of horrific and grisly fates.
But it all came to an end when Asylum executed the wrong family, specifically the daughter and grandchildren of one Samhain the Tallman. The resulting {{Roaring Rampage of Revenge}} lasted two weeks, left thousands dead, crippled Asylum beyond repair, and culminated in Samhain taking the government hostage and forcing them to give Deviants rights again.
Twenty years later, Asylum has been replaced by three less violent organizations. Sanctuary, an organization with the same purpose as Asylum but far more willing to work with Deviants than solely against them. The Heroes' Guild, a trade union of sorts for Deviants who want to use their powers for good. And the Arcane Association, an organization comprised mainly of magic based Deviants.

!!Contains examples of:
* AbandonedHospital: Maya Williams, the protagonist of Hacking Reality, builds her first base in one of these.
* AbusiveParents: In Requiem for a Grimm-Grave, Molly Grimm's neglectful father is one of the factors that [[DrivenToSuicide drives her to suicide]]. A much more violent variation of this trope [[spoiler:is prevented from happening]] in Beware, Beware The Boogeyman's Scare. And in The Huntsman's Quest, Antonio Ramirez becoming this to his son Kenneth was what finally got Ms. Valentine to end their relationship.
* ADogNamedDog: Jon Whitaker, the protagonist of The Huntsman's Quest, has a pixie named Pix and a wolf named Wolf.
* BadassNormal: Vigilance, one of the founders of the Heroes' Guild is this. As is Mercer, a former sidekick of Vigilance and the protagonist of And All The Sinners Saints.
* BaitAndSwitch: At one point in The Shadow Walker the readers are led to believe that Raimundo Morales and his sister are [[spoiler:preparing to kill and eat a woman who has just wondered into an alleyway]], but are actually [[spoiler:preparing to kill and eat the man stalking her]].
* BloodKnight: Andre, and Orkin Traveler working for the Dealers in the city of Santa Rosa.
* BullyingADragon: A surprising number of normal people in this setting seem to think that harassing Deviants is a good idea.
* CardGames: Un-Universe. In the wake of Deviants becoming an accepted and even celebrated part of society, an actual card game was made featuring famous Deviants both heroic and villainous. Ozzy Creed and Trish Farewell play this game during the events of The Phantom Court.
* ColonelBadass: During her military days, Minerva Whitaker was the non-Deviant leader of a military squad specifically devoted to fighting Deviant threats.
* DrivenToSuicide: A combination of her mother's death, her father's neglect, bullying at school, and losing contact with the only friend she had left drove Molly Grimm to [[spoiler:a failed attempt to]] take her own life.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Alexander De Sade, the Dark Lord of Blackwell. Not the most morally upstanding of folks, but he certainly cares about his daughter.
* GadgeteerGenius: Combine this with MadScientist and you get a Mentally Augmented Deviant, or M.A.D. for short.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Downplayed. The voices in Maya's head sometimes say really weird things and then pretend that they didn't when asked about it.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: As certain characters are fond of saying: "Enlightenment can drive you mad."
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Some characters occasionally speak in Spanish.
* HorrorHunger: Deadmen and Malcontent both need to eat people to survive.
* KarmaHoudini: In The Huntsman's Quest, [[spoiler:Antonio Ramirez stabs Ms. Valentine and kidnaps Kenneth. When Jon rescues Kenneth, he stops to shoot Ramirez on the way out. However, Jon can't bring himself to do it when he realizes it would mean that Kenneth would have to watch his own father die. And so Jon leaves without killing Ramirez.]]
* OffWithHisHead: How Ozzy Creed died.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Ghosts and [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]] fall into the category of Deadmen. People who have been brought back to life by exposure to Ectoplasm.
* RefugeInAudacity: How Joshua Durand performed his first robbery in Get Ink'd
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Samhain's response to Asylum killing his family.
* SealedEvilInACan: At some point in the past, [[spoiler:three entire cities were founded to act as seals on the prison of an ancient and powerful Demon.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: When referring to Arcane or Malcontent in plural, you don't add an S on the end.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Every Malcontent has an Other Self from which all their powers stem... Along with their need for human flesh.
* TheRoaringTwenties: During this time Deviants were hired to fight a series of underground crime wars known collectively as the Voodoo Wars.
* TooDumbToLive: It's something of a stereotype that all Arcane are "overly curious kittens with no survival instincts".
-> This is especially true in a world where heroes, villains, magic, fantasy and horror all abound for those willing to look for it.
-> Who knows there may even be a special brand of madness all for you.
-> Just remember to beware what lies beneath the masks of those who attend the Deviant's Masquerade.
