Ticks & Quirks
The constant abuse you have put on your body during your training and learning of your particular style has left you with some quirks. Be them mental of physical, you've picked them up and they now are part of your persona. These are to be treated just as typical character flaws and must be annotated upon your dossier.
If you do not see a flaw you would like to have listed below you are encouraged to come up with one of your own and send the missive to the Systems Mod.
- Berry Picker : You ONLY eat what you prepare yourself.
- Bipolar : Your moods change on a dime.
- Blatant Liar : You tell tall tales that no one believes to fit in with others due to low self-esteem.
- Cannibalistic: You believe in eating parts of fallen enemies to gain their power.
- Chauvinist: Calls every female you meet "woman". Claims to have problems remembering their names. Calls guys by their names, always .
- Chronological Dyslexia : You have an extremely hard time placing events in the correct time.
- Clumsiness : You have an unfortunate habit of dropping things, knocking things over, tripping, losing something, and the like.
- Conceited : You believe that you are better than everyone else.
- Daredevil : You only really feel alive when you're staring death in the face.
- Disorganized : You are disorganized and clutter seems to follow you where ever you go.
- Feminist: Calls every male you meets "man". Claims to have problems remembering their names. Calls girls by their names, always
- Fidgetophoric : Cant seem to hold still. At all. Must always be moving.
- Haphephobia : You actively avoid physical contact.
- Humorless: No sense of humor, at all. Responds to all jokes as if they're serious statements.
- Inattentive : Your mind wanders from thought to thought instantly and it messes up your concentration in the heat of battle.
- Jumpy : You have a tendency towards nervousness, & tend to block or parry any percieved threat - even a mere pat on the back.
- Low Pain Threshold : Lowers the characters ability to mitigate pain
- Misled : Sometimes you do random acts opposite of your alignment.
- No Direction : You have no sense of direction, you cannot get anywhere without the help of a map and compass, or someone else. Directions are useless to you. Even setting out more than 5 feet you become obliviously lost.
- Obsessive Compulsive: There is something that always has to be done just a certain way, you can't simply let it be. Examples would be having to sheath and unsheath his/her blade multiple times until it sits i the scabbard "just right", or lights a lantern and blows it out and relights it again multiple times until the flame is "both bright and warm enough". Won't step on cracks.
- Physical Marking: Along the training of your style, you suffered a wound in a match. The result was some physical mark; a scar, missing finger, lazy eye, etc. that is distinguishable upon your features.
- Pious: Gives the first bite/sip of your meals to your deity/ancestors by spilling it onto the ground.
- Perfectionist : You need things to be just... flawless.
- Respectful: Every creature you kill, you bury it as a sign of respect. No matter how short you are on time, no matter how dangerous it may be, no matter any outside circumstance, you always bury the dead.
- Routine: There is something you must do for your style, every day. E-V-E-R-Y day. If you do not do so, your entire day is ruined and nothing will go right.
- Royal Appetite : You can only stand for rich feasts of the grandest kind
- Signature Moves: You name all of your "special moves" and scream them out during a fight as you attack or defend yourself.
- Short Temper : You get enraged easily, going berserk whenever you suffer damage.
- Substance Addiction : You are physically or mentally dependent on some kind of addictive substance.
- Tattooed: You find glory in marking yourself with the types of creatures you've slain. For every foe you have stood against and put to the sword, you have a tattoo of them marked upon your flesh. Some let words tell of their past victories, you do it in ink.
- Untouchable : Character has a severe distaste for being touched by others.
- Verbal Tic : You can't help but say a certain thing... all the time.
- Whimsical : You decide to do things simply because you feel like it...
- Zealot : You believe in your gods, and you do so with great devotion and faith, so much so that you cannot conceive of why others would do different.
- Vulnerable : You are not good at defending yourself.
