Favorite or most interesting Quirks
 

I thought this thread existed... but I can't find it so I'm starting it.



In light of my job in the customer service mines, I thought up this one today:

Garbled on Phones (Broken Language Speech)



* Or any other audio communication devices. Yeah, in some settings this might well be worth more, something like a full 2 or more points (call it 1 point per language), but for most campaigns, it'd peg it in at a Quirk.

Karim the Falconer in Gurps Arabian Nights sang to his falcon.

One of my players ran a PC that had Really Bad Dancer, and Delusion (thinks he's really good at dancing).

A few I've put on characters that I think made them just a little more interesting:

The gods hate me. The feeling is mutual.
Chronic nicknamer.
Indifferent grooming.
Very self-conscious about scars.

One of my players want his next PC to look, sound, and act like Rebel Wilson. Oh, and she's going to be a car thief. I cannot wait to see how he quirks her.

From different characters:

Loves his rug

Loves hockey - "the only good thing from Canada"

[Edit: I was posting hastily and forgot to point out that these last two are from the same character]

Always drinks with his off hand

Hates to be told he has a spot on his tunic

Re: Favorite or most interesting Quirks
 

From several characters:

Always wears something white (but doesn't realise it).

Always regretting not taking a photo (sort of a verbal tic).

Must never refuse a second request for aid (and so has become quite good at divining and solving underlying problems slightly before they cause real trouble, oddly).

I think this shows my approach to role-playing, now I think of it.

In one of my fantasy campaigns I made a NPC dragon with the quirk: Prefers hot chocolate over gold.

One that has achieved universal acclaim at various DFRPG tables is Kromm's quirk for Sir Godfrey Stephen Hauteville:

Shouts tactical advice, despite lacking education in the art of war (default Tactics is 7!).

This is a quirk that just keeps on giving.

I love quotes and catchphrases. Most of my characters have at least one. My favorite thus far was a Halfling Barbarian who would routinely just throw his hands in in the middle of conversations and walk off declaring "Tall people problems!"
