Technological Charisma: You're familiar with all of the tricks of the trade when it comes to telepresence — you stare at the camera, not the screen, and know how to pitch your voice so that all the relevant tones carry even over plain copper telephone wire. You treat any telepresence medium as one step better for purposes of your Charisma bonus: you get your full bonus over two-dimensional audio/video, and half your bonus even over a low-definition link.

Quirk: You never benefit from the Makeup skill. [-1]

Seems like a good idea, so I clarified it a bit, and put it where it can be found again.

Costing it as a cut-down Reduced Consumption comes out at zero, but doing it as Resistant costs rather more, so a perk seems right overall.

No, the Makeup skill is the skill of Make-up artists, primarily to make people look like different people.

Key Memory: You have Photographic Memory to remember which key goes into which lock. You always find the right key for the right lock on the first try.

I have this perk IRL. That, or I have an Aspected Photographic Memory.

Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
 

That raises the idea of other Photographic memory Perks.

House memory: You know every aspect of your home and can find anything no matter how small or navigate it in the dark without any table bumping.

Name memory: even if told once long ago and no matter how complicated it may be, you always remember someone's name.

Immune To Annoying American Tourists : Saw this in modern day Supers Campaign . One person's hero is/was a Tour Guide for Coach Trips around major European Cities & tourist attractions .
No matter how rude , arrogant , obnoxious , irritating , unintelligent , silly or bizarre Americans act , you are unflappable in any response to them .
Can also be extended to certain Canadians as necessary ...

Became a major plot point when an American Hero ( think Punisher meets Deadpool type , with the manner of a grumpy Sabertooth ) signed up for a London-Athens package in his civilian persona ... hilarity ensued ...
Must find & post the strip on Deviant Art that another player drew : Geneva ; Customs ; French Wine ; Anti Tank Missile System ; Paperwork ... I'll let your imagine the scene until I can locate it .

Controlled Sleep: you fall asleep whenever you want to for however long you want to. You still suffer from the normal effects of missed sleep, but you are otherwise in complete control of your sleep, from when you fall asleep to whenever you naturally wake up. You can literally order your body to take a 2 hours power nap during a train trip and not wake up until either the hour you choose or something dangerous that would have woken up anyone else happens, whichever comes first.

Always Beautiful:

This character never loses aesthetic and sexual appeal no matter how many times they have been injured. They can be struck in the face repeatedly and it will be radiant. They can escape from a Gestapo dungeon with no sign except a tasteful dueling scar (I'm talking to you Lazlo!). They can spend three years on the Russian Front and look like someone who could attend a ball. They can go to Auschwitz and look the way-Jane Seymour-looks at a concentration camp.

Unarmed aim*
* You must specialize by a weapon you can Fast-Draw and throw.

You can take the Aim action with your chosen weapon before drawing it. After Aiming for one or more rounds, you can attempt to fast-draw and throw the weapon. If you fail the roll to draw the weapon, or you take any action other than throwing the weapon after drawing it, including Aim and Do Nothing, you lose the bonus gained by Aiming before drawing the weapon.

It's obvious to anyone who looks that you are aiming something at the target, even if it isn't necessarily clear which weapon you are going to use.

If you have this perk for several weapons, e.g. throwing knives and shuriken, you must declare which weapon you are preparing to use when you announce the Aim action.
