Sad to say, my ex-brother-in-law has this.

For the record, I'm working on accumulating the best of these into a document with an accompanying .gdf file. Please, keep adding them!

Those are odious personal habits.
DiNozzo just partially overcomes it with "boyish" charm

Awsome; I have been looking for a neat Quirks resource!

I have one that may be worth adding, suggested to me here by Mgellis;

Blackouts: Whilst under altered mental states (drunk, under the effects of Bad Temper, Beserking etc. pick one!) you often suffer memory loss; at any point more than a day beyond the event you must make a Will+1 roll to remember the basic scheme of events, whilst any memories which would normally take an IQ roll to recall are unrecoverable short of GM fiat or direct exposure to the cause of those memories (or part thereof).

- I have this when intoxicated! Even small amounts of alcohol will leave me with hefty memory gaps above and beyond what my peers would suffer.

Come to think of it, Cordelia's husband's country WAS barbaric. And Aral seems to rather admit it. Though given the circumstances life handed them they may not have done all that badly.

This is akin to the Quirk "Talks constantly on his hands-free cellphone in public."

Teetotaler. You avoid alcoholic beverages on general principles, whether due to religious reasons, you're a recovering alcoholic, or simply because you don't care for the taste.
