My personal advice is: don't.

My experience with PbtA games is: they're interesting if you want to play the characters they have already made for you, and you want to play the story they wrote for you. But, if you want to do anything else, the game fights you, tooth-and-nail, every step of the way.

We tried Masks for about an hour, and didn't make it through character generation because none of the character classes fit with over half the party and none of the players were interested in the mandatory baggage they were saddled with.

Might look into Fate or Fudge.
