Influence

In time, almost every Exalt becomes famous. This Background reflects your character’s pull and status in society and her political power. This status could derive from political office, being an entertainer or a religious figure or openly living as one of the Chosen. Regardless of reasons, people pay attention to her words and deeds. Influence can be used to garner favors from others, to promote a personal agenda in public or just to bask in the glow of fame. This Background does not cover rank in any organization—that’s Backing.
