[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 6099097, member: 9026"] Shayuri, I noticed you have 50 disadvantages AND 5 quirks.. I was under the impression that the '50 disadvantage' limit also applied to the quirks, appearance, wealth, status, etc.. all the ways of gaining 'bonus points'. Is this not true? Darwin/onlythestrong : I had a thought regarding my character while reading over Only's psychiatrist character. The two of our characters would, I think, fit fairly nicely as brothers. Now, I also saw that Only's character has a big secret, so if that would in your guys' minds prevent a linked background then I can just rework it to fit with either an NPC brother, or maybe baron_samedi depending on what his character's like. I'm seeing my guy growing up in the shadow of his brother - you become a doctor, a psychiatrist, phenomenal at what he does, and even though my guy's very smart, he still never really measured up to his even smarter brother. So he becomes a hard-working overachiever, and works to develop the things that he CAN do better than you - like picking up chicks, building things, even a bit of outdoorsmanship. I think it would fit nicely with how the characters are designed too for disadvantages: you're the lazy (but gifted) older brother who's just naturally good at everything, I'm the hard-working, jealous younger brother, we're even both afraid of spiders, perhaps from some shared childhood trauma? Heck, I even implanted an advanced computer into my head to keep up! Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
