I actually got an idea for a few things..

Spoiler: Only GM reads this. (click to show/hide)

You know the Simpsons right?
Howabout one of the superagents, just for comedic value, Bartman.
And to counter him one must have Sideshow Bob as henchman.

Just an idea I thought would be funny. 

[Terenos]

Hrm, We could have it go the other way, and reduce the heat you gain from extortions, yes.

[Toaster]

I was thinking something like +1 on rolls to extort and a small bonus on rolls to save against extortion break-off.  Further levels could increase gains as well, but not rank 1... unless you're making higher points in traits weaker like Cult of Personality.

[CyberGenesis]

Note: next set of turns i'll be doing...and i hope the dice hate you all (and that goes double for Labs)

[Labrat]

you always hope pain and suffering on me.

[Hastur]

As regards an Extortionist trait, My initial thoughts are an inc in success rate of extort missions plus a 5%/level increase in gains + higher heat rating on Extortions, causing them to get broken up 10% more often
How does that sound Cript?

Actually really bad. Although it would depend on the increased success rate (and the currant successes rate) but that actually sounds like it would in fact hurt me more then help.

I was thinking almost the opposite in fact, with a lower 'heat' rating put on extortions.

my thoughts exactly you have a good business sense chrypty. i was comparing to to cult of personality (which as mentioned below) is not even in the same league

My idea for my trait.
    We all know mad scientists can research personally. But i want to personally be a martial arts master, and do battle with secret agents, and go out on missions to increase the success rate. Can i get a trait like that? Chi Master or something.

[CyberGenesis]

EGs are passive entities...figureheads. They don't go on missions.

[Hastur]

Weak, Can I play high stakes poker or something and get a roll to make money in my casino? Scientists get to research can i hack stuff or anything?

[CyberGenesis]

Scis get to research, it essentially acts as a very small Cult bonus...to scientists only.

Rank 2 Streetwise gives -3 Notor and 10% (min $50) reduction to combat minions (thugs and up)

[Criptfeind]

You know, to be fair notoriety is pretty much the most valuable resource there is.

I chose Mob boss cause it is awesome. Not for the abilities. I may never use streetwise and I will certainly not upgrade it.

[Terenos]

Well not to rush you or anything Cript, but yer the only one whos turn is yet to be placed..
Oh and Hastur hasn't chosen where his 2nd trait point is going. But thats a less pressing concern.

[Criptfeind]

I know... I am just... Taking it slow because I do not know what is going on.

I will try to get it up.

[Terenos]

Perfectly understandable!

[Criptfeind]

Heh heh. "Get it up."

Can I plot to protect my Extortion? Or set guards? Something?

[Terenos]

Wouldn't any overt action simply draw more attention to the business you're extorting?
