New and Custom Quirks?

[Phantasm]

There's a thread out there for Perks, so let's go in the other direction.

What custom Quirks have people come up with?

Here's a few I've come up with:

Enamored. You are smitten with a person who may or may not be aware of your affections. You will do what you can within reason to be with or near this person whenever possible.

Traditional/Ethnic Diet. Whether due to upbringing or conscious choice, you follow the traditional or ethnic diet of a particular region or population group. This may be following kosher Jewish dietary laws, traditional Chinese or Japanese food preparation, or similar. This is only a quirk if the rules you follow are not the norm in your game setting.

Vague Answers. You always answer questions with the vaguest possible answer that could actually answer the question. This includes answering a question with a pointed question of your own.

Devout Believer. You are a devout believer in a particular cause or religion. This can be considered the Quirk level of Fanaticism.

Agnostic. In many ways, the opposite of Devout Believer for religious purposes. You believe in a higher power of some sort, but none of the organized religions seem to have the answers you're seeking.

Adrenaline Junkie. You crave excitement. This may be a Quirk-level addiction to an activity. You are not On The Edge (yet), as the risks you take are not normally life-threatening, if the proper precautions are taken - bungee jumping, skydiving, etc.

Incorrigible Flirt. You flirt with anyone you find attractive. This isn't truly Lecherousness, as you are not actually serious about the passes you make, and nine times out of ten the flirting doesn't lead to anything besides harmless fun in a social situation. Still, it may give -1 to Reaction rolls when dealing with people who are socially repressed, or who have an emotional investment in the people you're flirting with.

Vanity. You are obsessed with your good looks, to the point where you find any minor flaw to detract from them, even if the flaw does not necessitate a reduction in Appearance.

Closet Fan. You are a fan of a particular sport or literary genre/writer (such as hockey, Harry Potter books, B-grade vampire flicks, John Wayne movies, etc), but for some reason you don't want anyone to know. Consider this to be a Quirk-level Secret. If your secret gets out, it won't affect anything serious - you may gain a new negative Reputation to a small group.

Minor Reputation. The opposite of the Perk of the same name. Instead of doing a detailed breakdown, any -1 Reaction penalty to a very small group can be taken as a leveled quirk.

Speed Freak. You like to go fast. Fast cars, fast airplanes, fast motorcycles, roller coasters, fast skis; the means does not matter, so long as you're able to feel the wind in your face or push the envelope of your vehicle to where it threatens to shake itself apart.

Show-Off. You like the attention your activities bring you, and you try to do things with a flair and a touch of theatrics.
