So, with all of these new Qualities out, are there any that are begging you to utilize these? Did you ever get an urge to make a character with X qualities, because they are just so damned cool(both positive and/or negative?)

Here's a few of mine, with the advent of the RC, and hell, even some older ones that I just haven't had a chance to utilize yet.


Positive:

-Photographic Memory. It might not be the most godlike, but there is just something cool about this one that I can't quite put my finger on. Just something about being able to rattle off all kinds of things to someone can be a touch more than disturbing sometimes.

-Home Ground. I never had a chance to really use it yet, as I couldn't really figure out a character that would use it. I'd like to fiddle with a concept that utilizes it, though.

-Made Man. You're like a mobster, with Day Job! It's like, two in one! Nah, it actually sounds pretty fun. Would take some heavy utilization of a double lifestyle.

-Deep Cover. This could be great, with the player and GM working together-and naturally, the GM holding a FEW cards close to their chests.


Negative:

-Evil Twin. Upon reading this, I just have to try it out one day. It just sounds so awesome. I mean, it's definitely a flaw, but it just sounds so damn cool to have your Evil Counterpart running around(or, in Shadowrun, a game of gray morals, your ''darker gray'' counterpart, if you will), that you have to deal with. I expect to want to try to use this one very soon.

-Lost Loved One. I dunno why, but this one just seems like it would be awesome to use, and wonderful for plot hooks, for both character background AND the GM involved.

-Signature. Awesome idea for an assassin character. It's one of those negative qualities that might start rather mild(since most starting characters have low Street Cred), but begins to inflate substantially as the game goes on. Do you get street cred and risk this flaw going into overdrive? Or do you stay lower on the food chain with all of the disadvantages therein? I always like the idea of the assassin with some sort of signature. This one is getting used soon, I think.

-Vendetta. More fun, and even a bit more than the typical Enemy. Nothing like a several generation-long blood feud to get the gears turning.

-Augmentation Addict. This one just sounds fun. Dangerous, but fun.

-Judas. Yeah, it might piss off the party a bit, but damn, it does sound fun in a twisted way.

-Amnesia. You know, I've always loved the idea of an amnesiac character, but right in the middle; I'm one of those anal folks who has to be able to build my character, but at the same time I'd love the GM to put a few odd Knowledge Skills in there and to do some crazy shit with my background and maybe some of my qualities. So a middle-ground version of this I'd go for. (Unless it was a one-shot. Then lay it on me.)
