Additional Language: Japanese
You are fluent in an additional language
You can speak, read, and write in the chosen language. You may be given a roll to decipher some amount of meaning from a related language at the GMs discretion.
Beautiful
You're quite the specimen!
Rolls where your good looks could help– be it via sexual attraction, first impression, or trustworthiness– are at -2 Difficulty. Social interactions should be role-played accordingly. Effect activations are unaffected.
Sore Thumb
You stick out like an. . . Elvis??
You automatically fail all Stealth rolls, and rolls to notice or locate you always succeed.
Compulsive Liar
You have trouble with honesty and generally find it much easier and safer to make things up.
Any time you are asked about yourself, or are offering information about yourself, you must succeed a Self-Control roll in order to tell the truth. If you are ever caught in a lie, you must Exert your Mind in order to come clean; otherwise you must attempt to justify the initial lie with more lies.
Lizard Brain
You are so unintelligent, you're accustomed to acting on instinct alone.
As long as your Intellect rating is 1, being reduced to 0 Mind does not incapacitate you. Instead, you are able to continue to take Actions, though you are limited to dog-like level of intelligence, and Penalty still applies in full.
Mute
You cannot speak
You may communicate with the GM and describe your actions, but cannot talk to a player character or an NPC unless everyone concerned uses sign language or you write things down.
