[@Kymera] Indeed it will. That's going to be part of the Gameplay section - for example, in Destin's story, it mentions the chieftain of his tribe. Currently, that person qualifies as a 'Backstory NPC'. However, should we come across him, and we've done or do something, his status could change to 'Adversary' or 'Ally'.

There's also going to be point bars; 'Renown', and 'Infamy' are the only ones I have at the moment, but there may be something like 'Status' later. Certain events have been planned out, and depending on what your characters do, the team entire will gain a point in either. While in Chapter 1, there aren't really any events planned out for what might happen if a certain threshold is met.
