Proposal for the Fame background, based on VtM's fame.

Youn enjoy widespread recognition in society, perhaps as an entertainer, writer or athlete. People may enjoy just being seen with you. This gives you all manner of privileges when moving in society, but can also attract an unwanted amount of attention should you wish to do things without being known for it. The greatest weapon fame has to offer is the ability to sway public opinion—as modern media constantly proves.

This Background is a mixed blessing. You can certainly enjoy the privileges of your prestige—getting the best seats, being invited to events you'd otherwise miss, getting appointments with the elite—but you're also often recognized when you'd rather not be. However, your enemies can't just make you disappear without causing an undue stir.
