Quirks, Non Quirks & general silliness .

[Donny Brook]

I'm pretty lenient with quirks. I don't htink they need to be particularly disadvantageous as long as they promote role-play. Here's my take on these:

Deeply attracted to any female named 'Emma' / male named 'Malcolm' .

I would allow it in a setting where those names are reasonably well known.

Must eat at least two bananas a day . Gets stressed if they cannot .

That's okay IMO.

Terrified of Koalas - despite being based in late 19th Century South America .

Meaningless in the setting, so I'd say no.

Dislikes odd numbers , but '5' is okay ...

I generally ask players to flesh-out a behaviour to define 'dislike' in such quirks, but allow them.

Despite zero evidence , believes various in game FICTIONAL Characters are homosexual ...

I'm not sure what they mean by 'in game fictional character'.

Always gets lost in a specific town/city - even though they hardly visit there .

Might allow this along with four more substantial ones, but I'd need to understand the frequency of visiting more clearly.

Still uses a VCR .

I'd probably think this is too insignificant.

Collects the protective wax off Cheese whenever possible . Makes miniature sculptures from it .

Definitely allow this.

Always uses ridiculously obscure nicknames for other people , so that hardly anyone else knows who they are talking about .

I'd allow it.

Will only eat branded beans .

I'd allow it.

Goes mental if duvets are mentioned ...

Actually sounds too strong for just a quirk.

Always goes to the wrong Station/Airport/Library when collecting someone or something .

I'd allow it, but wouldn't take it!

Worries constantly about the Heat Death of the Universe .

I'd allow it, but they need to roleplay it.

Must ALWAYS play 'blue' in boardgames .

Insufficient playability, unless the campaign is likely to involve board games for some reason.

Prefers to have AT LEAST two backups for most household objects .

I would allow it, and make them pay a premium on Cost of Living.

Makes and stores homemade jam - never eats it ...

I would allow it and make them reduce time available for 'off-screen' activity.

Despite living in a fantasy setting , deep down doesn't really believe in magic .

Sounds more like it might be a Minor Delusion [-5].

Has perfect hearing but likes to watch television with the sound off & subtitles on .

Insufficiently relevant to game play.

Travels with own toilet seat ...

Sounds okay.
