Reputation
Reputation is a system implemented on this site to show your characters fame throughout their country and the rest of the world. It can go either way, gaining good reputation or bad, both affecting how others react to your presence, and their behaviour towards you. The level of this 'fame' and 'infamy' are shown on the corresponding tags in each members side panel, and will change regularly depending on certain things. Fame is the positive result from your actions, making your name more well-known to the general populace, which leads to greater recognition. It shows you act in the interests of those you serve, and embodies all that is good about a person. Infamy is obviously the opposite, growing from bad deeds done and generally making people have a bad opinion of you. Although it doesn't negate you from doing things, it certainly has an effect, and while those with high Fame are held in high regard, those with high Infamy are often fearfully respected.

Gaining Fame and Infamy is simple. Each week your activity in average, roleplayer prepared threads will determine whether you get Fame or Infamy added onto your character at the end of the week. Performing assignments is another way of gaining these points, with them often being part of the reward for success.

In addition, you start out with some fame (or infamy) depending upon the rank chosen for your character in their application. The following is a tentative list of how much is earned per rank at start:
King/Queen | 1,000
Prince/Princess | 900
Duke/Duchess | 800
Marquess/Marchioness | 550
Count/Countess | 350
Viscount/Viscountess | 200
Baron/Baroness | 150
Lord/Lady | 100
Sir/Dame | 50
Citizen | 10
Plebian | 0

Keep in mind that this is subject to vary depending on the character application and the character's history as well. We'll try and be as fair and realistic as we can.

Wealth
Wealth is how much your character has to spend on things like ships, weapons, and other frivolous items. Wealth can be earned in any number of ways, not the least including assignments which hold the largest possibility for gain. Every week your character will receive a certain amount of wealth for being active and in play. This will initially be dependent on their rank, starting at §10 for Plebian and increase by ten per each rank. However, this weekly allowance could be increased for doing certain assignments; the staff will keep track of how much you should earn each week.

For starting, however, the amount is dependent upon your rank once more:
King/Queen | 1,000
Prince/Princess | 900
Duke/Duchess | 800
Marquess/Marchioness | 550
Count/Countess | 350
Viscount/Viscountess | 200
Baron/Baroness | 150
Lord/Lady | 100
Sir/Dame | 50
Citizen | 30
Plebian | 10
