On this site we have a system that is referred to as the character's fame, Each affiliation has their own fame system that is unique to them these are called bounty for pirates and revolutionaries, commendations for marines and cipher pol agents and publicity for bounty hunters and anything else that may be allowed on the site. Each system works rather differently than the last but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they judge how widely the person is known and just how much is known about them.[break][break]
While there are people who swear by their fame level there will be others who do not care at all and many who fall somewhere between the two. Also contrary to popular belief the fame system does not indicate how strong your character is although there are some in the world who believe just that. Basically, as the standard, the fame system only shows how well known you are throughout the world. The only way to receive fame is from actually getting your name out there by doing something worthy of each instance of fame (which will be spoken about later) the easiest way to do this would be jobs though you may receive some through regular RPing and very rarely training and special threads.
A bounty is a government-issued reward placed on an individual and awarded to whoever can apprehend or kill that person. Normally, a bounty is issued by a government official or by the police, however on this site, any marine of commodore or above can turn in bounties (meaning your turning in a bounty thread would need a marine of commodore or higher rank to be considered finished). The idea is to tempt others into aiding the capture of the criminal so they can be brought to justice quickly. Bounty Hunters make careers trying to find and capture these wanted people. Bounties are issued with a "Dead or Alive" disclaimer, meaning the reward will be paid so long as the threat gets eliminated, but only half the posted reward will be given if the target is dead since no public execution can be held.[break][break]
The amount of a bounty is determined in response to the perceived threat level of the criminal in question; the greater the threat to the world, the greater the bounty. In the eyes of certain people, high bounties are thus usually seen as a sign of strength. After all, having been assigned a bounty means that the World Government as well as the Marines acknowledge the threat of the person to whom it is assigned. This is not universal, however as some are considered a greater threat than their martial ability allows or even others who have been misjudged by the world government and have a lower bounty than they should. Those of the first ilk enjoy their larger bounty while those of the second ilk resent their bounties due to the unwanted attention they bring.[break][break]
A bounty in excess of 100,000,000 Beli or 100,000,000B indicates that the person to whom it was assigned has committed unlawful acts of catastrophic degrees. A bounty reflects both the threat and power of an individual. Engaging in activities deemed criminal by the World Government or associating with groups that engage in them is enough to warrant significant bounties even if the criminal is not powerful themselves. In particular, direct opposition to the World Government, no matter the reason, is treated as a serious offense, and bounties are issued accordingly.[break][break]
A bounty can be increased for several reasons:[break][break]
Since the Marines can only issue bounties based on their knowledge of the criminal in question, a bounty may not necessarily reflect the true threat of a person. In some cases, due to miscommunication or unreported information, the bounty may end up being much higher or lower than the criminal deserved for their actions.[break][break]
Regardless of the discrepancies, bounties are still treated as a way to determine a person's average threat level. As the one facet of society that can be easily compared, stacking them against averages helps determine threats in relation to location; for example, the average bounty in the East Blue is 3,000,000B, so a noteworthy one there would be 10,000,000B or more. Though this is because the East Blue is considered the weakest of all the Blues. The South Blue which is next in terms of weakness has an average bounty of 6,000,000B making it so that a bounty of 20,000,000B is noteworthy. The second strongest being West Blue has an average bounty of 9,000,000B which would make a bounty of 30,000,000B noteworthy. Lastly North Blue has an average bounty of 12,000,000B which would make a noteworthy bounty around 40,000,000B. However, the four 'cardinal (direction)' seas pale in comparison to the first half of the Grand Line (Paradise), where an exceptional bounty is around 100,000,000B and is considered nothing in the New World (or the second half of the Grand Line), where 100,000,000B is common or weak.
A commendation is a government-issued reward placed on an individual and awarded to members of the marines and cipher pol. Normally, a commendation is issued by a government official or by the police. The idea is to reward those who show great service to the world government in their pursuit of justice. Commendations also act as a means to regulate when a person is ready to be promoted. While having the number of commendations needed for a promotion does not mean you will get it as there are sometimes other things needed, also promotions can be turned down for whatever reason.[break][break]
The amount of commendations given is determined in response to the perceived threat level that the individual(s) handled; the greater the threat to the world, the greater the number of commendations given. In the eyes of certain people, high commendations are thus usually seen as a sign of strength. After all, having a bunch of commendations means that you have done great things for the world government and will have your name known much more. This is not universal, however as some are given commendations that they have not earned or even others who have been misjudged by the world government and have not received the appropriate amount of commendations. Also, there may be some that wish to remain mysterious and unnamed, and gaining commendations makes it easier for them to be recognized.[break][break]
Anyone with commendations of 1,000 is considered an officer within their respective military branch. Commendations represent both your power as well as the general threat you carry to criminals. Stopping those that are engaging in crimes or even bringing in those that associate with criminals earns commendations. In particular, aiding the world government with any request they have, no matter what it is, is reason enough to be rewarded with commendations.[break][break]
Commendations can be given for several reasons:[break][break]
Since the World Government can only issue commendations based on their knowledge of the event in question, commendations may not necessarily reflect the true threat of a person. In some cases, due to miscommunication or unreported information, the commendations may end up being much higher or lower than the solder deserved for their actions.[break][break]
Regardless of the discrepancies, commendations are still treated as a way to determine a person's average threat level. As the one facet of society that can be easily compared. Stacking them against averages helps determine threats in relation to location; for example, the average commendation in the East Blue is 300, so a noteworthy one there would be 1,000 or more. Though this is because the East Blue is considered the weakest of all the Blues. The South Blue which is next in terms of weakness has an average commendation of 600 making it so that a commendation of 2,000 is noteworthy. The second strongest being West Blue has an average commendation of 900 which would make a commendation amount of 3,000 noteworthy. Lastly North Blue has an average commendation of 1,200 which would make a noteworthy commendation around 4,000. However, the four 'cardinal (direction)' seas pale in comparison to the first half of the Grand Line (Paradise), where an exceptional amount of commendations is around 10,000 and is considered nothing in the New World (or the second half of the Grand Line), where 10,000 is common or weak.
Publicity is a media-issued reward placed on an individual and awarded to bounty hunters and others who are not marine or cipher pol but do not break the law. Normally, publicity is issued by the media such as newspapers and such. The idea is to reward those who put their lives on the line by helping out justice even if they are not strictly part of the World Government. Because publicity is given by the media it has no bearing within the World Government and there are some who use this to disregard someone's publicity making it so that sometimes even those with high publicity are underestimated.[break][break]
The amount of publicity given is determined in response to the perceived threat level that the individual(s) handled; the greater the threat to the world, the greater the publicity was given. In the eyes of certain people, high publicity is thus usually seen as a sign of strength. After all, having a bunch of publicity means that you have handled a lot of people and situations that have been considered a threat by the World Government. This is not universal, however as some are given the publicity that they have not earned or even others who have been misjudged by the media and have not received the appropriate amount of publicity. Also, there may be some that wish to remain mysterious and unnamed, and gaining publicity makes it easier for them to be recognized.[break][break]
Anyone with the publicity of 1,000 is considered a threat to pirates and has been considered an official bounty hunter or problem for those that commit a crime. Publicity represents both your power as well as the general threat you carry to criminals. Stopping those that are engaging in crimes or giving information that leads to the capture of those with bounties can lead to an increase in publicity. In particular, aiding the world government with any request they have, no matter what it is, is reason enough to be rewarded with publicity.[break][break]
Publicity can be given for several reasons:[break][break]
Since the media can only issue publicity based on their knowledge of the event in question, publicity may not necessarily reflect the true threat of a person.

Regardless of the discrepancies, publicity is still treated as a way to determine a person's average threat level. As the one facet of society that can be easily compared. Stacking them against averages helps determine threats in relation to location; for example, the average publicity in the East Blue is 300, so a noteworthy one there would be 1,000 or more. Though this is because the East Blue is considered the weakest of all the Blues. The South Blue which is next in terms of weakness has an average of 600 making it so that publicity of 2,000 is noteworthy. The second strongest being West Blue has average publicity of 900 which would make 3,000 noteworthy. Lastly North Blue has average publicity of 1,200 which would make noteworthy publicity around 4,000.

Fame

A bounty can be increased for several reasons:[break][break]
The threat of a person's observed combat abilities[break]
More experienced bounty hunters volunteering to capture the individual or group[break]
Further criminal acts beyond the initial one[break]
Inspiring criminal acts when provoked or inciting others to act 'criminally'[break][break]
