Re: New and Custom Quirks?

The sugary breakfast cereals in particular are (IME) crunchy cookie-like confections. I love crunchy food, so it really doesn't take much in the way of flavor enhancement before I can just eat it by the handful. I'm not against putting milk-oid substances on top, but I'm lactose intolerant so it's a dairy substitute like almond or coconut milk, and I really want to eat it while it's still crunchy. *munch crunch crunch crunch* - actually, depending on how reliably you do it, this is a quirk level of Noisy. Between rustling around in a crinkly bag and the crunching...

One I had was a starship captain who regularly carved fuzz sticks while sitting at his workstation to pass the time and keep himself disciplined. He would buy twigs at each port and keep a bucket beside him to pile finished work.

Re: New and Custom Quirks?
Martial Pacifist: A quirk version of Pacifism. You dislike violence and try to solve problems with words rather than blows if it is reasonably possible. If your opponent gives you no choice though, you do not hesitate to come to blows. This quirk is often found on martial artists, real or fictional.

Re: New and Custom Quirks?
Unusual Body Temperature: Maybe you come from an alternate dimension, or you are not quite human, or a mutant, or you have been affected by a supernatural phenomenon. Either way, your body temperature is slightly higher or lower than that of a baseline human, giving anyone who hasn't been informed about it a -2 to use the Diagnosis skill on you to identify sicknesses affecting you, as well as a -1 familiarity penalty to anyone who is not used to dealing with your medical issues. Anyone using infrared or other heat-based sensors who knows about this metabolic oddity of yours gets a +2 to any skill to identify and/or track you.

Re: New and Custom Quirks?
I know I'm coming t this late but I don't see anything about Atheism that would be a quirk. It's no less of a worldview and it could potentially drive a character decision but it's not something that would form an obstacle or a visible characterization. You don't have any observed ritual or any specific codified behaviors. You just don't believe. You could be a preachy Atheist, having to constantly criticize people for taking things on faith or believing in the supernatural, but that's another animal.
