There are rumors and tales of someone who always seems to have been there to cause some level of mischief. Some people laugh with this unlucky lout, some laugh at the fool. People talk about him. Did you hear about the guy who started a fire in the library to impress a girl? Did you hear about that pirate ship who threw a dirtbag over the side for using the captains peg leg as a gulf club? You've a reputation; if something has gone wrong, it's probably your fault.

The authorities don't like you but everybody tends to enjoy your antics. While the decent folk find your stories entertaining they do see you as a little dangerous but not so much they call the guard. Criminals and the rougher tend to find you hilarious; while you aren't numbered in their ranks they tend to be friendly with you up to a point. You seem to be able to find contacts easily though they don't always seem as happy to see you a second time. They will shield you from the law though they will not risk their lives for you.
