How would you stat the character Michael Rimmer from "The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer"? He clearly a "social monster" in both senses.

So, a character who "fails upward" in a cinematic fashion? (cf. Chauncey Gardner from "Being There", or J. Pierrepont Finch from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.")

Social Chameleon for sucking up.
Loads of Charisma.
Honest Face Perk or a variation.
Serendipity limited to social interactions/social advancement.
An undeserved Reputation for competence.
A Talent for social interaction (e.g., Smooth Operator).
A very good score with at least one social influence skill, probably Fast-Talk or Politics.

I would suggest IQ 14, Appearance (Attractive), Charisma 5, Talker 4, and Voice, Diplomacy-20, and Fast-Talk-20. The build is worth 145 CP and gives the character a +12 reaction bonus whenever they talk (as well as everything else from the build).
