Diehard: When making HT rolls to avoid death, you only die immediately if you fail by 5 or more. On a failure by 4 or less, you become Mortally Wounded.

It's kind of like a couple of levels of Hard to Kill, but worse. Useless in a low-tech setting without supernatural healing, but a neat stopgap otherwise.

Bounce back: If you recover from being Mortally Wounded, you do not need to make a HT roll to resist losing a point of HT.

This one seems like it would go well with Diehard, but seems pretty crap otherwise.
Actually, maybe it should just get included.

Is this basically a minor form of Pitiable?

Something like that, but the idea here is that you get the bonus despite whatever shape you are in and don't have to look like a bedraggled puppy in the rain. It also should work on people with Callous and doesn't effect your appearance.

Sounds pretty powerful to me. How about 5pts?

Death Wish: Can will himself dead.
Obviously best if the character has some form of resurrection ability, but useful nonetheless.

No nudity: For those with resurrection abilities, they will always pop back up with clothing appropriate to the indigenious locals. I guess this might qualify as a variant of super clothing, but the specifics make it different enough for its own write up, IMO.

That would put it on par with Charisma, which effects all influence rolls.

True. I guess 2-3 points would be appropriate (if only because Reputation, Everybody all the time, -80% Only To Request Aid seems munchkiny).

How about if it was only usable on "Patron level" npc's?

Something like...

Moment of Need: You get +1 on all requests for aid. This can only be used with NPC's that are obviously more powerful, or more knowledgeable with the environment that the aid is being requested for.

Probably balanced enough for a Perk, even though 'patron' NPCs are more useful.
