The Reputation System

~The Reputation System

In an era where who you know, whom you speak to, and whom you're related to can affect your reputation, knowing how a character is viewed by the majority of society can be very beneficial when considering thread partners and plots. Certain interactions can have negative reputation implications, whilst others can see an increase in reputation. Reputations on Charming start at a set number depending on your character, and then 'deductions' can lower it. Reputation can, however, increase over time or based on things like "heroic actions". If at any time you feel your character should be upgraded (or downgraded!), please post in Maintenance and the staff team will look into it!

Disclaimer: Not all characters will agree (or bother with) the overall reputation. This may affect their own reputations as a result, but they are not required to take the same view point.
Please note that different classes will always be regarded differently, regardless of their reputation!

Below, you'll find maximum and minimum reputations for certain character types. From there, there are a list of deductions that can see your character's standing lowered.

~Good Reputations
10	Standard 'starting point' for most characters, however various events in their lives and those of their family and friends can have an effect
