Call it 'Imrovised Weapon (Throwing Art, item X)'.
Special: unlike other Improvised weapon perks, this one allows you to blah blah blah.

Pretty cool, actually, but I would say it should apply to Shadowing.

Makes me think of Moon Knight. I like it.

Actually DOES expect the Spanish Inquisition
The player is never surprised by the Spanish Inquisition or any of its agents.

Cleans Up Real Good

Not available to characters with better than average appearance. Any time or money spent to gain temporary improvement to appearance grants a double bonus. This can range from having a make-over to buying good clothes.

Rough Trade

Dirt and grime look good on you. Any temporary penalties to appearance due to combat or other extreme situations count as bonuses. You may have a black eye and be covered in grime and blood, but it looks great on you. When other guys stink, you smell man-licious. Think Hicks and Ripley from Aliens.

ROFL. This one is great for a Monty Python campaign. :)

Spanish Inquisition: "NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!"
Chuck: "Uh, I did...."
Spanish Inquisition: "Shuddup, you."
*You are all stunned/surprised, roll IQ. Yes, even those of you with Combat Reflexes. Except Chuck, who took the perk.*

That's actually a rather cool concept (the modifier inversion), but it seems overpowered compared to Sanitized Metabolism. Perhaps limit it to scars and damaged clothing?

Or limit it only to cancel out penalties instead of applying them as bonuses.

Or limit it to one level of inversion. Massive bruising, swelling, and broken bones look bad on everyone.

Well, I can buy damaged clothing as a source of an up to +2 'inversion' bonus.

I'm leery of allowing an inversion for scars, as they can become permanent . . . Maybe limit it to shallow, fresh, bleeding wounds (occassionally seen in animé).

Dry, dusty dirt I can also see as a reaction bonus (I actually like dusty vases standing in my room). I don't understand the appeal of any other form of dirt (mud etc.), but then again there are mud and oil fetishes, so who knows . . .
