I wanted to be a minor world celebrity, to contrast with the group anonymity a bit :P.

If you wanted, I could set up a mentally focused character. I have a concept for a Sasha Cultist waiting.

It's not anonymity, it's low profile, really. I mean, we've only accomplished anything in terms of not showing our dumb faces to everyone as we do shady things.

But the thing is, a high-fame character would be extremely useless for a criminal operation, unless you're a government, but then it's not called that. The last thing you want when you're doing something illegal is to be constantly stared at by... well, pretty much everyone.
Pretty much the idea.

So... what exactly is stopping anyone with an ounce of reason in the group not to present him a highly fashionable sleeping bag in black plastic?

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Charisma.

You have to talk your way in first, and one fail is one too much. And if the person is 200 yards away, on the other side of rifle sights, there's not much that talking can do.

That's not exactly helpful if the other guy decides you're in the wrong turf. Or that shooting you will be fun. Or just because.
