Cultural Stigma

[ Feature Impact ] > Negative

The character’s race, looks, or some obvious signifying mark, brand, aura taint or onus of some kind has made it so that people’s natural reaction to them is fear and hostility. They will be seen as the bearer of bad tidings and ill omens.

Type: Behavior
Role-Play ++

This presents a good opportunity for adding Roleplaying elements to the Character.

By default, they will not be sold goods, and may be chased out of establishments or settlements. Goods and services, when they can be bought, will be 3-5 times as much. Their stigma is such that it will affect any group they travel in – the association will cast doubt, aspersion, and distrust on them; It will affect Reputation. Offsetting this is extraordinarily difficult and expensive. Due to the outsider status of such an individual, if the character has this at Inception, they will also have Cultural Lag and in most cases cannot have a Cultural/Regional Experience.
