Reputation by Shadowknight
There's several 6 different types of reputation you can only have 1 of them regardless
1. Boyscout: This is the hero that keeps his word of honor no matter what, obeys the laws, respect authority, polite, honest, never kills unless he's fighting undead and Maybe Demons, Devils, World Destroyers - Universal Destroyers. Always holds back his true power level unless he fighting to save lives of 100 thousand or more people, otherwise will use 60%-85% of his true power level. He isn't a fool or an idiot he knows there's unjust laws, corrupt cops and politicians, but as much as possible will work with established authority figures. For that he loved by most of the public, and state, national or world govt bodies depending on his lvl and how much interaction he has outside of his home city. In game terms he's treated like a minor celebrity in his home city, should he want to he could easily buy an expensive item for 25% off, and receive anything of value of $ 100 for free from grateful citizens. Under NO circumstance can someone else in the party use his reputation to buy items at a discount. To tell the truth 90% of the time the BOYSCOUT doesn't take advantage of the situation or politely refuses the gift, which makes the citizens of his city love him even more. He receives +2 to his P.B, M.A & AWE factor if he has one in his home city or has a AWE factor of 10 he had none. Police treat him like if he was a Lt at their precinct, after 6th level he has street, school and museum name after him. He's extremely hard for villain to frame for a crime, he almost always gets the benefit of a doubt and never has to reveal his secret identity to testify in a court of law.
2. Relentless Hunter of Criminals: This is the hero who will never give up or give in against criminals, respect the laws, respect authority, honest good people, never kills unless he's fighting undead and Maybe Demons, Devils, World Destroyers - Universal Destroyers. While the BOYSCOUT is love the RELENTLESS HUNTER is admired by the police, other heroes. Nevertheless he makes regular citizens uneasy and any hero under 6th level uneasy. In game terms he receives + 2 M.A & Awe Factor only for Intimidation purpose these abilities don't work vs Dragons, Gods, Demi=Gods, Godling, Mega Heroes, or Immortals or Supernatural, + 3 to M.A & Awe factor vs Criminals. When he's established usually at 4th level or high he's treated by the average policemen as if he was a Captain of their precinct, but there's a 10% minority who resent him usually the corrupt and lazy cops who will try to frame him or bad mouth him to the press or other cops.
3. Crazed Vigilante: This person represent the mentality of a bullet will solves most crimes. While he has no problem killing violent criminals he isn't a Mad Dog that kills everyone regardless of crime, a mugger or rapist more likely than not will get the living tar beat out of them spent weeks or months in hospital but more than likely survive. But any extremely violent criminal will usually earn a free trip to the morgue of his choice from this character. This person respect authority, honest good people, never kills unless dealing with violent criminals and then turn yourself in otherwise you won't receive mercy from him. In game terms he receives + 2 M.A & Awe Factor only for Intimidation purpose with the same limitation as the RELENTLESS HUNTER. He tends to be hunted by the police and the FBI, even though a good 60% of the police department & 40% of the Federal task force out to arrest him will condone his actions when no one is looking and help him escape custody or arrive too late to arrest him as long as no one is looking. This is a person that takes money from the criminal he kills to continue his war, but won't take drugs or anything like that. He will usually call the police, a reporter and report where the bodies are littered plus where to find the evidence. His relationship with the press is mixed with half saying he's a necessary evil the other half demanding he be arrested. He tends to be a Lone Wolf with few friends and most heroes don't want to associate with him due to his reputation and reaction to his violent killing spree. No matter what he believes he's right and other heroes are too soft to fight crime the way it should be fought. See Secret Operative on his equipment. He also has 3X starting salary in equipment, guns, cars, motorcycle.
- Limitation: This feat can only be taken by Physical Training, Special Training or Ninja and Super-spies characters.
4. Diplomat: Represents Heroes that are reluctant to start fighting, they are great at decelerating combat situations and finding ways to compromise. It's not that they are incapable of fighting it just they tend to resort to combat at last resort. In games terms they receive -2 to Initiative, -1 to hit and damage during the first round of combat. To make up for this they receive + 15 % to any Espionage or Rogue skill pick 1. In addition Diplomats tend to have a good reputation with the Press since they have no problem talking to the press and explaining their actions, likewise Judges, Police, and Public Opinion is usually on their side since they have a reputation for avoiding combat.
5. Innocent: Tends to believe the best in everyone, while often confused with a Boyscout they are different in significant ways. While an Innocent tends to hold back & respect authority figures. He or She isn't blind to injustice nor will obey a law that goes against their moral code. Should he or she discover they've been made a fool of or lied to repetitively. Their anger, sadness & retribution is the stuff of legends. Innocents tend to come from culture where lying is frown upon & being brave, forward, and direct is the norm. I.E ( Amazon Island, Asgard, Hawaii or Tahiti before meeting Europeans, some tribe of American Indians}. People often underestimate them thinking they're stupid, they're not. After a couple of level they quickly develop a wariness around people and they never fall for the same type of lie twice. It's just he or she tend to be trusting, but not STUPID. Like the Boyscout he or she is very hard to frame, while Police tend to cooperate with them they are under no obligation to do so. Nevertheless the public seems to like them to the point of having poster or t-shirts made with their likeness. In Game terms they receive +1 to P.B & +2 to M.A to other heroes or villains but the public specifically the opposite sex react to them as if they had +2 P.B & +3 M.A
- Limitation: Innocent can't have an Evil alignment, Unprincipled is the only selfish alignment hey can have.
6. Warrior: Represents Heroes that are quick to start fighting, in many ways they are the opposite of the Diplomat. While they respect the Diplomat they tend to see them as naive, when life has shown them violence will solve most of the world problems. While they are sometimes confused with a Crazed Vigilante, there's a few significant differences. Unlike the CV he or she isn't obsessed with crime or fighting injustice. Its just they think criminals should get violence meet out to them the same way they dealt it out. Also Unlike the CV they can be considered thrill junkies not that they go out and seek danger but they feel alive and most joyful in combat. In Game terms they receive +2 to Initiative, +2 to Hit, +1 to Damage &+2 to save vs H.F or fear no matter what the source.
- Limitation: Warrior can't have the Principled alignment. There's also a 10% chance per level that a criminal tries to sue him or her for using excessive force.
