Famed in Story: Difference between revisions

** Negi himself is getting to this point in the Magic World under the guise of "Nagi", because of his resemblance to his father, and because he goes and fights in a massive Tournament.

* The title character of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' had achieved this by the time of the ''A's to StrikerS'' [[Comic Book Adaptation|supplementary manga]], with tales about her reaching legendary status, with all that it entails.

'''Teana:''' [[Cassandra Truth|That just sounds like a rumor]]. What kind of [[Improbable Age|nine year old]] [[Lampshade Hanging|was she]]? }}

* Quant, a Ranker from ''[[Tower of God]]'', who only appeared in person in one story arc where he revealed himself as rather buffoonish and a manchild, must be one of the most popular characters in the Tower since his face is on nearly everything from public service announcement posters over chocolate bars to strength measuring devices.

== Fanfiction ==

* Clan Gully after they saved {{spoiler|Baron Beltorey}} in ''[[The Tainted Grimoire]]''. He is an influential person.

 

 

== Films -- Live-Action ==

'''Jack Sparrow:''' But you ''have'' heard of me. }}

* The ''[[Mystery Team]]'' was once a well-respected and popular part of their town.

* Moya's crew in ''[[Farscape]]'' has built up quite a few impressive exploits as a result of being chased all over the galaxy by bad guys. As a result, word has gotten around, though the stories are a bit... exaggerated, in some respects.

** First, in "Suns and Lovers":

'''Crichton''': Whoa-whoa! Where do they get these stories? Let's set the facts straight. First off, there was no raping, very little pillaging, and Frau Blucher popped all the eyeballs. }}

** And again in "Scratch and Sniff":

'''Raxil:''' Yeah. I've heard stories. But obviously they aren't worth a bucket of dren! }}

* By the end of the series, [[Stargate SG-1]] has made the entirety of Earth's forces both famed and feared throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

== Poetry ==

* [[William Shakespeare]] warns about this in ''Sonnet 25'':

And all the rest forgot for which he toiled:'' }}

* Tennyson's ''[[The Charge Of The Light Brigade]]'

O the wild charge they made!" }}

 

== Theater ==

* In ''[[The Pirates of Penzance]]'', the offer of the [[Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die]] song:

Ye shall live in song and story! '' }}

 

* In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', bards will sing about your exploits ''to you'', and if you are [[Karma Meter|notorious]], wanted posters with your name and (obscured) face start appearing, while town yellers will start denouncing you. During multiplayer, you can sometimes hear the town yellers mentioning your single-player character.

** During the last Lair of Romulus in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' (Basilica di San Pietro), while you're trailing the target cardinal, a group of other cardinals can be overheard discussing you:

'''Cardinal #1:''' The Assassin. Killed the Banker. They say he walks the halls of ''il Vaticano'' ("the Vatican"), with no one able to stop him. }}

** By [[Assassin's Creed Embers|1524]], legends about Ezio's skills have spread as far as China.
