High Society

The glitterati at the top of society move in circles of wealth and elegance. Many people find such positions alluring, and they indulge in the passions of the famous and wealthy. Access to famous actors, celebrities and the idle rich grants a certain sway over fashion trends. Combined withwith Fame, a modicum of High Society Influence turns a character into a debonair darling of the most exclusive social circles. Among these circles, one finds dilettantes, artists of any stripe, old money families, models, rock stars, sports figures and jet-setters.
Berlin is a city of ruins and urban decay; old nobility living in crumbling mansions, Hollywood celebrities on week-long benders, the spoiled rich kids of diplomats partying like nobody’s watching. Promoters and artists gather in clubs like the Paris Bar or Dschungel. Old money that survived the Nazi purge keep to themselves, sequestered in their villas south-west of the city.
