On the rise... for now.
Through their talent, abilities, or innate charisma, Star Agents effortlessly command affection and adoration wherever they go. Their global reach and instant recognition open doors and attract favors. Whether they are a pop artist, political firebrand, or famous-for-being-famous, bearing witness to the Star’s once-in-a-generation talent is reward in and of itself. This, of course, is a massive liability.
In a career dedicated to discretion, secrecy, and the avoidance of Loose Ends, legions of noisy, insatiable fans serve as perpetual snarls. Friends these Agents make tend to have only their own self-interest in mind. The press is watching constantly for unusual behavior. And all of this is compounded by the sizable ego required to maintain such a position in the world.
But no Star is immune to fading or falling, and the desperate need for approval present in all rising public figures keeps these Agents focused on success. Nothing is more embarrassing than a job half-done!

You have fans everywhere, and all of them want a chance to talk to you. The GM may use Reality Trigger to have someone recognize you and become desperate for your attention. If you ignore them, they make a scene now and complain online later: the Relationship that would lose the most if you fell from fame loses one Connection.
If you do something to damage your reputation, your fame starts to dwindle. Mark the next empty box in a four-box "Fallen" track. When the Fallen track is full, or when you give up on your goals, your rise to stardom is finished: you must choose a new Reality.
