Fame

You are widely known among mortals, perhaps as a famous writer, performer, or athlete. Your fame gives you certain advantages (like preferential treatment), but it can also give you a lot of unwanted attention sometimes. Fame gives you a great deal of pull with the media, gives you the chance to spread influence others through your work.

The Storyteller may allow you to use Fame + a Social Attribute to accomplish some tasks, like convincing the maitre’d to get you a table immediately or to convince someone that he should listen to you. Your rating in this Background is a measure of how famous you are.
