This doesn't change if you are a hero.
Sure, you have to go off and save the world now and again, but this doesn't give you the right to play loud music all night or let your mutant attack dog leave its messes in the street. People, be they heroes, villains or citizens, will get rightly irritated at this irresponsibility. If you do this kind of thing, people will talk about the hypocrite that talks big about cleaning up the crime in Paragon City, yet can't even clean up after himself.
Let's have a look at some of the ways you can keep your neighbours happy and your reputation intact:
- Don't leave your experimental AI battlesuit powered up as you go out for a couple of hours - it will invariably become sentient and go on a rampage through the neighbourhood.
- If you have a battlecry or trademark exclamation, use it quietly around home - screaming "By Wotan's beard!", "For the honour of the Rat Clan!" or even "Up, up and away!" gets very annoying when you hear it through the walls everyday .
- Never practise your powers in your living room - a stray fireball is bound to blow through your wall and fry the dog next door. Even if the dog deserved it, the neighbours won't thank you for it.
- Don't bring supervillains home for interrogation as they are bound to escape and take old Mrs Fry hostage. You will be blamed for this.
- Speedsters should restrain from causing sonic booms in residential districts unless they are willing to pay to replace all the windows they blow out.
- Get your Plant Control team mate to help your green thumb neighbour with their roses for major karma points.
- Heroes with sonic attacks should never go singing carols at Christmas, just in case.
Follow these tips, say "Hi!" when you go on patrol and you will never be "forgotten" when the block party invites go out. Ciao!
