I've sent the Pyramid Query. Wish me luck.
Good luck!

Very young hunter has more in the list, but includes most of the above and also comes in at +1.

I like the claim to hospitality (extended family). Though depending on the size of your extended family it may still be cheap.

You should probably specify some limits on the Patron (Parent) [10], or you may end up with them coming along to every major fight. I suppose that's what frequency of appearance is for.
For the Young Hunter template, you can easily take care of that one point by putting in the 1-point quirk that you overlooked.

Quirk: Always thinking about sex. [-1]

Gold & Appel Inc., makes a compelling argument that this should be a required quirk for all teenager characters.

G&AInc doesn't speak for all teenagers.


All I could think about as a teen was wargaming and roleplaying... and that never really changed.

It is a cliche that all teens are libido driven hormones on legs. Certainly not all real teens, by a long shot.

Heck no! There was like at least 8-10 times a day I did not think about sex, in High School.

I hope Pyramid accepts the article. I think the basic stuff is great & I'm interested in seeing more. Good luck!

I'd have to call you an exceptional case, evileeyore. :)

Yes, I played wargames and RPGs, but the passage of a cute girl never failed to distract.

I wasn't interested until the age of 21, and I kind of forced it then. It eventually showed up though. It can be argued that such a teen has an different quirk though: (not interested in courtship).

This accurately describes my life.

In a campaign featuring the threat of sexy vampires, succubi, and malicious fae, that sort of thing might be worth a perk, or even a full blown advantage.

Resistant (Seduction, +3, Occasional) [3]

Be sure to talk to your GM about this - if Seduction would be more than an "occasional" threat, you're probably playing an ERP.
