			Respect is important. Fortunately, you enjoy a certain
			degree of respect within your chosen group. This Background
			reflects your overall reputation among your Awakened peers
			– Virtual Adepts, Templars, Progenitors, etc. At the highest
			levels of Status (4 and 5), that rep extends to affiliated groups
			(all the Traditions, Disparate Crafts, Technocracy Conventions)
			and might extend outside your faction as well. ''(“I’ve heard a
			lot about you, Mister Leonard – even here, we’ve heard of you...”)''

			Story-wise, Status gives you a certain amount of respect
			from associated mages. This, in turn, grants you some deference:
			folks open doors for you, address you by your desired name
			and title, send you invitations for special events, and so forth.
			If you need a small favor, or get involved in a dispute, Status
			lends your cause a bit of weight.

			In game terms, you may add this Background to your
			dice pool during Social rolls when dealing with your peers; an
			''admired'' Virtual Adept, for instance, would add four dice to her
			Social rolls among the Adepts. That bonus is halved (round up)
			among mages from a different but allied sect; the same Adept
			would get a two-dice bonus among other Traditions. You don’t
			get that bonus among enemies or strangers, though they might
			acknowledge you in story terms. ''(“Our files on you, Ms. Vasquez
			– or perhaps I should call you ‘Voodoo’ – are most... impressive...”)''

			Obviously, Status must be based on something you
			do or have done. A brand-new mage isn’t going to have
			Status 5 – she’ll have to earn it. This Background reflects
			a reputation among mages, not among Sleepers or other
			entities, though certain beings in the know (like vampires
			or spirit-lords) might recognize a Status 4 or 5 mage. Ideally,
			this Background is granted by the Storyteller as a reward
			for your actions throughout the chronicle. You can also
			''lose'' Status by failing to live up to it; an agent known for
			cowardice won’t command respect for long...

			:X -- No special status.
			:• -- Acknowledged; your peers recognize your name if it comes up.
			:•• -- Credible; you’re considered noteworthy.
			:••• -- Respected; your word carries weight.
			:•••• -- Admired; most people in your group look up to you.
			:••••• -- Revered; you’re considered a paragon of your group’s principles.
