Now you're getting it! Believe me, if the audience doesn't give two craps to begin with, it won't matter what you've written. We all want our characters to have some kind of reputation and it's not unreasonable to write an OC that's said to have a reputation from somewhere, but at the end of the day you have to earn that title from the audience. "Show, don't tell" is what they say.

Anything else you need help with?
