Re: Bio-tech related Quirks and Perks
Like the hands of lorises? Their index fingers act kind of like second thumbs giving very strong grips.

Re: Bio-tech related Quirks and Perks
Nice! And I like that it may or may not be associated with an advantage. It makes sense that in a high bio-tech setting like THS some animal derived advantages would come with animalistic traits.

Re: Bio-tech related Quirks and Perks
Koala Bears have what look exactly like two thumbs together. I assume it isn't as rare a trait as one may think.

Re: Bio-tech related Quirks and Perks
Given the sexual culture of THS I might suggest that Neuter and/or No Genitalia are definitely Quirks, they would modify Eunuch and make it more limiting/off putting.
Nonstandard Genitalia could be a Quirk or Perk, depending on the social environment.

Of course neuter is non-functional female like genitals so will shock even bisexuals okay with a "normal" Crying Game event.

Few would be too put off by low sapient bioroids lacking their junk. But a sudden reveal in hot and heavy situations would lead to shock and feelings of betrayal. THS has numerous sub-cultures, not a planet of zero judgement everything goes mono-culture. Maybe it would count as quirk level secret. People will look at you differently once they know. Not necessarily in a bigoted way, but differently.

Re: Bio-tech related Quirks and Perks
This Quirk (and rarely Perk) comes from the fact that the world is made for "normal" people. NONSTANDARD SENSES covers things like, because your eyesight extends into the infrared and ultraviolet, your color sense is weird. There would be other Quirk level effects of having odd color vision, some rare perks to. Someone with an enhanced sense of smell might have serious problems eating many cuisines. I mean, if you can smell as well as a hound dog, how do you deal with chili peppers?
This can lower the cost of enhanced senses because it simply invoked their logical downsides even if they work perfectly.
