WormRP:Reputation

Rep 3.0 splits the two-axis system (Public and PRT rep) into three axes. This allows greater accuracy and flexibility while retaining ease-of-use. The three axes in the new system are Morality, Notoriety, and Wanted status.

How to read

Rep is always given as a 2 or 3-field tag. The first is a number (or X), the second is a letter, and the third is either blank or symbols.

The first is morality, how good they are. The second is notoriety, how well-known they are, and the third is criminality/wanted status, which is how 👀 the heroes are towards them.

For example:

• the tag -3B! indicates Morality -3, Notoriety B, and Wanted status !.
• the tag XF indicates Morality X, Notoriety F, and Wanted status (blank).

Morality

Morality is a rough measure of where the character stacks on a heroic/villainous scale, or perhaps good/evil.

It is represented by a single integer, as follows:

Rating	Description
-5	Evil af. Slaughterhouse Nine called, they want to hang out. The unwritten rules mean nothing to you.
-4	If your rival was here, helpless, and nobody would know, you’d totally off them. Or do other stuff.
-3	Look, you rob banks and shit, but you’re still playing the game like everyone else. Sometimes the envelope gets pushed, but you never cross any lines that you can’t go back from.
-2	Okay, a guy looked at you funny and you punched him, so what?
-1	You’re not bad per-se, but you’ll do what you have to do to scrape by. Real villains scoff at you. Or maybe you’re a hero who gets a little too much fun out of hitting baddies.
0	The character is relatively neutral, a rogue, or has not done enough to get a rating.
1	Heroics are nice, but it’s just a job. Pays the bills and all that. Probably wouldn’t be wearing a dorky-ass cape if you didn’t get six digits for it. Or perhaps a villain who donates all their ill-gotten gains to the homeless or something.
2	I mean, being a cape is pretty fun, right? Helping people isn’t your calling, but it sure makes you feel good.
3	When you got powers, of course you were a hero. It’s your duty to help people, right?
4	You’ll do whatever it takes to make the world better, even if it means sacrificing everything.
5	Think like Superman, or Mr. Rogers (if Mr. Rogers spent his free time beating up bad guys).
X	This is a special indicator showing that “something else” is going on; for example, a character acting as a double-agent may be given this rating. The reader is encouraged to ask the player or consult their sheet as needed.

Notoriety

Notoriety is a representation of how well-known the character is, hero or villain.

Rating	Description
F	You’re a nobody.
E	You just joined the Protectorate or something, or you’re a villain with a single gas station robbery under their belt. The PHO fanfic section doesn’t even have a tag for you yet.
D	Some people have heard of you before. The high point of your week was someone asking for your autograph. If a hero, the Image department is making noises about maybe doing a special merchandising gig, if things pan out. Somewhere on the internet, someone’s released a slashfic of you, but the characterization is awful.
C	If you get interviewed on local news, the reporter doesn’t have to explain who you are to the viewers. At least one rabid fangirl has mailed her underwear to your office.
B	You’re properly famous now. Paparazzi are making keeping a secret identity difficult. People in different states who don’t even give a shit about capes know your name.
A	A household name in America. An inspiration to your peers, good or evil. You’re probably a recurring character on PRT Pals or something.
AA	You’re a worldwide celebrity (or menace). People in third-world countries know your name.

Wanted Status

Your wanted status represents, for villains, the response given to you by heroes and the PRT. Government heroes don’t tend to have one of these.

Starting at Wanted level -, the PRT is authorized to issue bounties and rewards leading to the capture of villains. Exact amounts vary and are not issued for all villains. These bounties will be listed on the PRT Most Wanted tab of the WormRP spreadsheet.

Rating	Description
(blank)	You aren’t wanted for any crimes.
?	You’re wanted for questioning, or a minor nuisance. Or perhaps an independent hero the PRT wants to keep eyes on. No special response warranted.
-	You are wanted for low-level Crimes. Heroes know to look out for you in particular. Small bounties and bonuses are offered for your arrest.
+	You are Wanted for a string of low-level crimes, or a big hit. Missions are taken to capture you in particular.
!	Special attention is given. If captured, a strike may be given to you. Containment foam is deployed on missions against you. The value of any bounties will be drastically increased at this level.
!!	Kill-order. No attempt to take you alive will be made. Anyone, hero or villain, can bring your head to the PRT and receive a reward, no questions asked.
!!	A-class threat. Cape truces are put into effect in order to fight you.
!!	S-class threat. Global response to your presence.
