I was originally going to use these rules in my MM2e PBP game.. I did not use these rules for two reasons:
1) It punished one character for being famous.
2) THE CHARACTERS WERE GOING TO BE ON FREAKEN REALITY TV SERIES!!
If the game's genre was different I could see these rules being used effectively (maybe in a spy game).
These rules are based off MM2e's Mastermind Manuel's reputation rules.
Fame/Infamy
I will be using the rules for Fame/Infamy in this game. All characters must be either Famous or Infamous and your choice will affect how your character is viewed by the public. Each character will begin with a Local (Home Community) Fame/Infamy equal to 1/2 their power level (round down) and most of the characters will have a Salton City Reputation of +0. This means that unless your character lives in Salton City or has an Extended Reputation virtually no one will recognize him/her until you do something worthy of recognition (dun dun dun!).
Extended Reputation Reputation, Ranked Feat
Like it or not, word of your deeds has spread beyond the limits of your home community. Each rank of this feat improves your reputation by one step.
Rank 0: Local Fame/Infamy
Rank 1: Regional.
Rank 2: National.
Rank 3: International.
Rank 4: Interplanetary.
Rank 5: Intergalactic.
Rank 6: Universal.
Low-profile Reputation, Ranked Feat
You're less well known than your capabilities would suggest you are. Lower your reputation bonus by 3 for each rank in this feat.
Renown Reputation, Ranked Feat
Your reputation precedes you. For each rank of this feat, increase your reputation bonus by +3.

Edgar lived a rather uneventful life until about a week ago, when Edgar discovered that he had the ability to create illusions and temporary objects based on his artwork. That night, as Edgar was returning to his loft, he was attacked by three masked men who were trying to break into the Mr. Nolan’s bookstore. During his struggle, the unusual happened after Edgar found himself staring at a flier he created from his comic, which featured his character Mistress Natasha. As he gazed upon the image, it began to fade then soon after, a woman dressed as the character appeared and fought off his Assailants before vanishing into thin air.

I must have been really bored back in 2002 - 2003 because during those years I created a file containing 62 deities that I wanted to use in the world of Necíus. I also chronicled the genealogy of most of those deities and wrote down which deities were enemies, lovers, rivals, and allies.
Today, I find myself wondering how many of those deities were actually needed from both a gamist's and a narrativist's pov since sadly, from the simulationist view, all them are needed. Le sigh.
