Animosity
Value: -2 to -6
A character with Animosity suffers from a deep-seated, destructive hatred of a certain group or thing. Determining the value of this Flaw requires two steps. First, determine whether this group or thing is Uncommon (-1), Common (-2), or Extremely Common (-3). Then determine the severity of the symptoms: Mild (-1), Moderate (-2) or Beserk (-3). Add together the appropriate point values for the condition and the severity to get the final Flaw value.

Uncommon: Groups like porn stars, ghouls or astronauts: things like posters for a particular band, old-style typewriters or laser pointers. Encountering the group/thing happens rarely.

Common: Groups like Bear shamans, CAS citizens and baseball fans: things like vending machines and toy balls. Encountering the group/thing could possibly be avoided if the character put an unreasonable amount of effort and inconvenience into it.

Extremely Common: Groups like elves, blacks and stupid people: things like soda cans, street signs and cars. It is impossible to avoid encountering the group/thing constantly without becoming a hermit.

Mild: The character really hates the group/thing. If a group member, they do whatever they can short of violence to disadvantage that person, and if he could reasonably resort to violence he will do so...but unless it's the sort of thing they usually do, they won't use lethal force. If a thing, they may attempt to damage or destroy it, or maybe hide it, but they won't put too much effort into it. A Willpower (4) test is neccesary to resist if the character needs to.

Moderate: The character's hatred is all-consuming. If a group member, they will immediately commence insulting or taunting them as soon as they notice a group member, and will attempt to kill them if it is at all feasable to do so with a few hours' worth of effort. If a thing, they will probably try to completely destroy it, and may stomp on, shoot, or melt the peices. A Willpower (6) test is neccesary to resist the compulsion if the character needs to.

Beserk: The character is enraged at the very thought of the group/thing. A group member will be brutally attacked on sight, and quite possibly their body will be mutilated. An object will be destroyed in the most comprehensive manner possible: emptying a full clip of EX-EX into a computer screen, for example, or dynamiting a street sign. A Willpower (6) test is neccesary to resist the compulsion if the character needs to: the number of successes is the number of half-minutes they are able to hold themselves back before succumbing to their rage.

Note that a Common or Very Common Beserk character will probably be tied up or imprisoned for most of the time to prevent them from going on a rampage!
