Character Fame
Within the roleplay universe, fame is another important factor that can affect the roleplaying experience in terms of events and knowledge player characters and NPCs have. For example, everyone in Academy City has heard of the Level 5's. Not everyone can recognize them on sight but their general abilities and other common information such as their school are known publicly by inhabitants of the city.
On the magic side, Saints as well as leaders of major Magic Cabals and factions are famous among most magicians. The Magic God of the era is also well-known. But since information is not kept in a database, knowledge of their abilities is not necessarily widespread. Their fame is mostly in name and reputation only.
Here is a list of characters and their nicknames/aliases, NPC and PC alike whom your character may have some general awareness of depending on your side.
