Clarification on what constitutes Famous vs Infamous
wevilspore:
I was making a character that was a former Simsense porn star but was wondering if that background counted as Famous or Infamous or neither for the penalty.
ZeldaBravo:
Neither, unless you purchase positive or negative qualities.
wevilspore:
That's what I am trying to hash out. Would that background fit a Famous or Infamous or neither Positive/Negative Quality?
ShadowcatX:
Probably famous though it largely depends on how you want people to react to your character.
Glyph:
If the character was yet another anonymous person who did porn to make ends meet during desperate circumstances, no qualities.
If it was BTL porn or an unpleasant fetish, then either Big Regret (if it is the character's dirty secret) or Bad Reputation (if the character's past is known).
If the character was an actual star, then Local Fame or even National Fame - remember that basic porn or sex work is not as stigmatized in the jaded world of Shadowrun.
