The primary purpose of Character Quirks is to tailor your character. Quirks will either be advantageous or disadvantageous. Advantageous quirks (Good Stuff) provide for the betterment of the character, and cost Quirk Points (QP) to acquire. Disadvantageous quirks (Bad Stuff) represent negative aspects or limitations to the character, and provide QP. Any Quirk that has a + is bad stuff.

Some basic things to remember when purchasing quirks are:

· Do not take conflicting results, nor a quirk that would be impossible for your race. (No “Sexy” Mong-Haru please...)

· The value of an attribute (Mind, Strength, etc.) may not exceed ±5 that attribute’s initial racial value, modified by age. If another quirk (Height, Build, etc.) affects an attribute, this ±5 still applies.

· QP with (+) add points to your quirk point total. (Disadvantageous)

· All Bonuses/Penalties from quirks augment/stack on any racial bonuses/penalties. (i.e. Racial bonus of +2 attractiveness will add to “attractiveness: comely +2”, giving a total bonus of +4).

· A character will always be considered “normal” in any particular area, unless the specific quirk is bought. Example; don’t play your character as highly educated without taking the “Educated” quirk…

· If you can’t play it, don’t take it! (Narrator will enforce quirks.)

Freebie Points

Freebie points are listed on the individual racial generation sheets. These can be spent as quirk points as desired, or traded for skillpoints at a rate of 1 freebie point for 10 skillpoints.

Age

Any character with an age category other than "adult" is subject to Narrator's approval. A child or adolescent character will generally be at a disadvantage to the adult characters and NPC's they encounter. While more nimble and spirited than adults, they lack in development and training.

Middle aged and older characters will generally have more skill and maturity than adult aged characters, though the effects of aging will progressively take its toll.

The following is the adjustments and modifications you need to make for a character that is other than "adult" age category. Character's racial maximums and minimums are also affected by these changes. (Special: Certain races, as in the Dorogo do not follow the age modification rules as follows. See your individual race data sheet for more info.)

Note: Age is the only thing that can affect your character’s minimum and maximum attribute values, besides supernatural and cybernetic enhancement.

Martial Combat, Psionics, and Magick Disciplines

Unless you have one of the following relevant 'Training' quirks, you may not purchase skills (Called ‘Disciplines’) from the areas of Martial Combat, Psionics, or Magick. You may only take one quirk per area, but you may "upgrade" with experience over time.

Without these quirks, the character may still take the following three skills; Mentalist under Mental, HTH Combat under Physical, and Mystic under Spiritual, for basic ability.

Your character's age will ultimately determine the rating limit for these skills. eg: while 'Martial arts training: intensive' says 'No limit on ratings', an adolescent Human will still be limited to 'Proficient' for their career skill. The limits listed are only for a starting character. You may buy these up over time with experience.

When a race gets a Psionic, Martial Combat or Magick discipline as a freebie, this skill may be bought up normally without purchasing a training quirk, since the training is assumed to be part of the character’s past. A character who gets a discipline free does not get the other benefits listed on the quirk, but nor do they need the prerequisites listed.

Martial arts training: basic (3 QP) May buy Brawling with no limit. May buy Hard to Competent'	Psionics training: basic (4 QP) May buy Clairsentience with no limit. May buy Telepathy to 'Competent'	Magick training: basic (6 QP) May buy Elemental with no limit. May buy Gray to 'Competent'

Note: the Magick training quirk is for evokers only. Invokers do not need this quirk, but follow their religious path.

Innate Magus: This is an alternate quirk for the purpose of obtaining Evocation Magick skill. You may take this only once, and may not take this and any other Magick Training quirk without Narrator approval. The character’s soul is infused with the raw energies of their discipline, to the exclusion of all others. (See magick section for more info)

Elemental (10 QP) Earth, Fire, Water or Wind
Gray (12 QP) Shadow, Radiance, Astral or Temporal
Balance (15 QP) Chaos or Law
Divinity (18 QP) Death or Life

§ Prerequisite: Normal Prerequisite for Discipline

§ Can only buy one Discipline, and must take this as Career skill.

§ Innates do not need to buy individual spells as an Evoker or Invoker do. She can attempt any spell listed for her Discipline that is not a combo spell. She gets all of the Discipline’s Abilities as normal.

§ Inherents still need a spell focus, but without it, the adverse effects are lessened

§ +3 innate bonus on all rolls involving your discipline

Wild Psionic: This is an alternate quirk for obtaining psychic power. You have no choice on your disciplines or your techniques, however. These are rolled randomly by the Narrator when you generate the character. You must still buy the Discipline levels, but the actual Discipline is chosen randomly. You roll randomly to see which Discipline(s) you get, and if you roll the same one twice, you add +1 to that Discipline’s techniques. (You must pay double skillpoints for that one) For every Rank you buy in the discipline, you roll one random Technique. In game, the Narrator will roll per psionic technique the Wild Psionist uses to see what happens…

Wild Psionics (7 QP)

Affluence Four factors will determine your character's final starting money; Race, Family Wealth, Personal Career, and

Connections. Pick only one from each. (Personal Career should be specified, and approved by the Narrator.) Add your total “Money Mod” from these four areas, and match the result to the table at right. Example: A Blachai (+3 racial Money Mod) takes 5 levels of “Rich Family”, 3 levels of “High Income” Personal Career, and 3 levels of “Well Connected”. Combined, the Money Mod result is +14, or 100,000UC. No more than 15 total Money mod may be purchased (excluding racial bonus) without Narrator approval.

Family Wealth (Pick only one, once.)

· Poor Family (+1 QP per level) -1 Money Mod per level.

· Rich Family (1 QP per level) +1 Money Mod per level.

Personal Career (Pick only one, once.)

· Low Income (+1 QP per level) -1 Money Mod per level.

· High Income (1 QP per level) +1 Money Mod per level.

Connections/Friends (Pick only one, once.) Character has a way of making friends.

· Below Average (+1 QP per level) -1 Money Mod per level.

· Well Connected (1 QP per level) +1 Money Mod per level.

For every level in this, roll once on the Personality table for a more notable, known enemy. (Narrator’s discretion)

Debt/ Theft The second way to get money is by going into debt/stealing the money (or item) you want. You can specify whether the money is borrowed or stolen. There are specific game play hazards to both. If you are in debt, then obviously there is someone or some organization you must someday pay back... with interest. If the money is stolen, then some person or organization is probably hunting you... whether or not they know you did it... all the details on debt and ill gotten funds are at the Narrator's discretion. No quirk points are gained or lost taking this option.

Natural Gifts: These are innate abilities that can only be purchased at character creation. Character with any of these quirks must also possess at least one insanity, at any level. Maximum level is 5 at character creation.

Savant: Pick one skill that the character has a preternatural affinity for. When making rolls with this skill, you roll more than one d12 when making checks. (This effect stacks with similar effects. Example: when taking the 5 point “Savant” Quirk with a skill, and then spending a Luckpoint proactively, you’d roll three times for the check, choosing the best result.) You may not take this multiple times with the same skill, but you may buy it for as many separate skills as you’d like.

· Roll twice for all checks with the chosen skill, taking the better result. (5 QP per skill, 10 QP per Discipline)

· Roll three times for all checks with the chosen skill, taking the best result. (8 QP per skill, 15 QP per Discipline)

Roleplay Aspects

Alignment (Pick only one) Any alignment other than "Neutral" gives you back points. The more points you get back, the harder the alignment is to adhere to, or the greater the ramifications are for taking the alignment. Keep in mind, certain events/ group memberships may be alignment inclusive. (I.e. must be “Ethical” to be a certain type of priest, or “Chaotic” to join a certain guild, etc.) Remember: Don’t take it, if you can’t play it.

“Good” Alignments: focus is on others before self. “Divine” or “universal” law equals true law.

Virtued (+10 QP) “for the greatest good”
This character does not see any “gray areas” in a person’s actions. What others see as neutral, is perceived as an intertwining of good and evil. The result is a person with absolutely no ethical questions about her actions. (Requires Narrator approval.)

Ethical (+6 QP) “For the greater good.”
This character will obey every law... unless it is absolutely evil, and then she will follow the greater good as she understands it. This person has a rigid code of morals and ethics, and will tend to see things in black and white. She can compromise, however.

Moral (+5 QP) “Do what is right.”
This character will work within the law, as long as the law is fair; however, she will eventually act in accordance with her own conscience. She has a well developed sense of right and wrong.

Conscientious (+4 QP) “The end justifies the means”
This character will do what is right no matter what it takes. Because of this, some conscientious characters may do some fairly “evil” things in order to accomplish her “good” goals.

“Neutral” Alignments: Actions are based on social norms. Law of the land equals true law.

Lawful (+3 QP) “What is, is right”
To this character, the law of the land is the supreme authority. This is the ideal police officer or soldier, never questioning orders (unless the orders are against regulations) and a political or military leader’s dream.

Neutral This is the default character alignment, if one is not bought. The character is either a typical product of society, or has compromised between her own sense of ethics and that of her society. The character may be known as a conformist, “going with the flow”. Neutral may also represent a character that doesn’t exactly fit any other alignment..

Chaotic (+3 QP) “I do what I want, when I want!”
This character is the nonconformist and anarchist, shunning the law just because it’s the law. There is a method to her madness, however. She will do just about anything she feels like, but will typically abide by certain social “norms”, thus she does have subconscious limits to her behavior. Keep in mind: she is “neutral”, not “evil”.

“Evil” Alignments: Focus is on self. Others are only a concern if they can do something for you. Self equals true law.

Deviate (+4 QP) “I am the law!”
This character follows a strict code: her own. She will uphold her own code of honor unfalteringly. She adheres to the social and ethical mores of her society, but she works for her own goals. The end, however, does not justify the means.

Amoral (+5QP) “I did it my way.”
This character has her own way of doing things, and she doesn’t care what you think of her. Her guidelines may change over time, but she usually remains fairly predictable. This person will either be honest, or lie through her teeth... whichever is more advantageous.

Depraved (+6 QP) “I do what I want, when I want, to whomever I want!”
This is the truly unbridled chaotic character, the one who will indulge in any whim, no matter what it involves or what the potential consequences may be.

Fiendish (+10 QP) “Use a spoon... it’ll hurt more!!”
This character is evil incarnate. Like a Virtued character, this person has a true understanding of good and evil... she merely chooses evil. When given a choice, this person will always choose the greater of two evils, if she cannot choose both. (Requires Narrator approval.)

Insanity Mental disorders, phobias, etc. One last time, if you can’t play it, don’t take it! Insanities will be overpowering influences in how you play your character at times, and will be enforced. More will exist beyond what are listed here; if you want something not listed, just discuss it with your Narrator. There are 2 types; Neurosis & Psychosis. Neuroses are less severe than psychoses. Insanities could and perhaps should be linked to other quirks and racial idiosyncrasies.

· “Weak” indicates the insanity is manageable, or does not occur regularly.

· “Strong” indicates an occasionally overpowering disorder.

· “Prevalent” is an intense, overwhelming and consuming madness that affects most of the character’s life.

Neurosis: +1 QP for taking one of the following neuroses at "Weak”, +3 QP for "Strong" and +5 QP for “Prevalent”.
