World Reaction Framework

10.0 PURPOSE

This page governs:

• How villages perceive characters

• How factions react

• How status changes over time

• How political leverage is gained or lost

Reputation is not cosmetic.

It alters access, missions, and consequences.

10.1 REPUTATION TRACKS

Each character tracks reputation with:

1️⃣ Their Home Village
2️⃣ Rival Villages
3️⃣ Civilian Population
4️⃣ Internal Clans
5️⃣ Rogue Factions (e.g., Red Dawn)

Each reputation scale runs from:

-100 (Hostile)
0 (Unknown/Neutral)
+100 (Legendary Status)

10.2 HOME VILLAGE REPUTATION

High reputation grants:

• Promotion consideration

• Access to restricted missions

• Political protection

• Resource priority

Low reputation results in:

• Surveillance

• Restricted assignments

• Political suspicion

• Possible detainment review

Power does not override distrust.

10.3 RIVAL VILLAGE REPUTATION

High reputation with rivals may:

• Enable diplomacy

• Create secret alliances

• Lower border hostility

Low reputation may:

• Place bounties

• Trigger assassination attempts

• Deny safe passage

Rivals track threat level separately from respect.

10.4 CLAN REPUTATION

Clan standing matters.

Within-clan:

• Elders may grant techniques

• Secret knowledge unlocks

• Internal rivalry emerges

Low clan standing may:

• Restrict Hiden access

• Trigger internal discipline

• Cause political isolation

10.5 CIVILIAN REPUTATION

Civilians respond to:

• Protection success

• Collateral damage

• Bijū usage

• Public incidents

High civilian trust:

• Reduces panic

• Grants local intel

• Softens political backlash

Low trust:

• Causes fear

• Increases unrest

• Fuels propaganda

10.6 ROGUE FACTION REPUTATION

With Red Dawn:

High standing:

• Recruitment offers

• Insider information

• Shared operations

Low standing:

• Targeted harassment

• Intelligence sabotage

• Framing attempts

Reputation affects approach style.

10.7 REPUTATION SHIFT TRIGGERS

Reputation changes through:

• Mission outcome

• Public conduct

• Political defiance

• Strategic success

• Civilian impact

• War conduct

Changes must be recorded.

No invisible drift.

10.8 HIDDEN VS PUBLIC REPUTATION

Some reputation is public.

Some is secret.

Example:

A covert assassination may increase:

• Rival hostility

• But not civilian awareness

The system must differentiate.

10.9 CONSEQUENCE ESCALATION

Extreme reputation states trigger:

+80 Home Village:
Eligible for elite promotion.

-80 Home Village:
Investigation or arrest arc.

+80 Rival:
Diplomatic envoy potential.

-80 Rival:
S-rank target status.

10.10 VALIDATION CHECK

Before adjusting reputation:

✔ Was action witnessed?
✔ Was political authority involved?
✔ Was collateral damage caused?
✔ Was operation covert?
✔ Does change align with world logic?

If unclear:

Adjust conservatively.
