Custom Quirks

There's a whole thread of quirks to take advantage of. :)

That's pretty funny. I find that real life is a great source of inspiration for quirks. For the past three years I played a character with the quirk "always refers to self in third person". It lead to some confusing moments in shops and such.

I wonder if this would count as a physical quirk.
Everyone has always misjudged my weight by around 30 pounds or more.
I was recently told that I've lost too much and am now underweight by two relatives so far.
I'm 5'11', and weighed 188 lbs this morning.

In an adventure setting, I can see this having some more negative issues than just overly concerned relatives or annoyed nurses.

Speaking as someone who was 6' 2" and 170 lbs. when he was 18, 20 lbs. under my "ideal" weight (of 190 lbs.) for my height and build, according to the USAF in '90, I could see "appears to weigh less than he actually does" as a physical quirk.

My quick search didn't turn that one up, but thanks for letting me know. This thread being redundant, I wouldn't mind if it was erased.
