Feedback ยท "Fame" trait (closed)

master of 2 children


automatic trait suggestion : 0 out of 50

I want a fame trait, so that it's easier to find celebrity and famous characters, or characters that want to engage in scenes revolving around being rich and famous.

Wealth

Fame

As a trait? I am not sure about that - it could probably be incorporated into Field of work while still making sense. Otherwise it strikes me as too broad.

Roel

*too singular in use I meant. Not sure how my brain derped that way.

Hmmmm. I can see value in finding celebrities (or intentionally avoiding them).

Roel

I am not saying there is no value, but a whole trait is not the thing we go for if we want to just mark celebrities, I suppose? I mean, Fame and Celebrity is pretty different - fame can define anything between a popstar, priest known in whole kingdom, infamous bandit...
I would just say that I would see it better as incorporated into Field of work, somehow.

Brenton

Perhaps there could be a subsetting (or more than one) under 'canons' that can include "Celebrities" where characters who play as specific 'real life' actors and actresses can be stored?

Roel

Oh, wait... it means real-life celebrities? Then it would certainly be better in Canon, and make a lot more sense.

Wrecked Avent Site Administrator

Hmmm. I am not sure about having specific customizations to traits.

Wrecked Avent Site Administrator

So, what is the take-away here? Adding a famous Canon? The suggestion body doesn't explicitly just cover celebrities, but other kinds of fame. Though the rich and famous bit sounds like another trait entirely (wealth?)

Roel

From what I gathered, this was mostly about being able to identify and find real-life celebrities, so I would lean to having Originality of Celebrity as a solution.
I derpily used word Canon previously instead of Originality.

Wrecked Avent Site Administrator

Originality of Celebrity doesn't really read right to me, one could be a celebrity canon or a celebrity non-canon.

Roel

Then again, none of the current Originality categories is suited to cover people who play real-life characters either. I guess a Canon could work, but it sounded better for me to fit it into a trait.

Wrecked Avent Site Administrator

Okay. I am going to close this with a proper auto suggestion. Trying to sneak fame into one of the other traits is just rubbing me the wrong way, and distracts from their ostensibly atomic nature.
