Answer 1

Is this a trick question?
My reputation is based upon my character.

Answer 2

The implication that everyone has a reputation is peculiar; reputation is for those that are of public figure or other external ongoing social circumstance.

Regular folks are not described as having a "reputation." Perhaps you mean somehting like, 'is character more valuable than observers' opionion.' Actually, without cult type interpretations of both definitions, character precludes reputation - reputation defined as a public opinion of a person's known decisions and actions of consequence.

I am one that, at ground zero, is of of no inclination toward reputation; character is the only value to the likes of me and my creed (genotype).

Both are important to me but character is THE most important! Without a good character, what kind of reputation could you have anyways!?
