Through the use of merits and flaws, you will be able to further individualize your character, making it much easier to get inside their head and portray them accurately in the game. We ask that you have at least three merits and three flaws for your character. Those merits and flaws can come from this list, the list specific to the type of character you're creating, or a combination of both. You are also allowed to create your own merits and flaws, but those will be approved at Admin discretion. Please try to keep your character balanced, as well. Generally, this means you should have one flaw per merit. Though your flaws and merits do not have to work with or against one another, they should make sense for your character. For example, having a child with the merit 'Huge Size' would not be acceptable. Just use your common sense and let your imagination go wild.

Merit Descriptions

Physical Merits

Acute Sense
One or more of your sense is much stronger than the average persons.

Ambidextrous
There is no such thing as being a lefty or righty to you. You can use both hands nearly equally well.

Bundle of Energy
Some people may refer to you as the engergizer bunny. You just keep going, and going, and going ...

Catlike Balance
You have an uncanny grace that one might liken to a cat. Do you always land on your feet? If so, then you just might have this merit.

Catnapper
A full night's sleep isn't necessary for you to function. A quick nap will refresh you for hours.

Daredevil
There is nothing you won't try or do. Reckless just might be your middle name.

Enchanting Voice
Something about the way you talk (or possibly sing) draws people to you and keeps them enthralled.

Forgettable
You blend into a crowd quite well and are able to escape the memories of people you pass in everyday life. If you require to be discrete, this would be quite helpful.

Good Night Vision
Your eyes quickly adjust to low or no light in the hours of the night. No stubbed toes on the way to the bathroom for you!

Good Right Hook
Whether you have been trained to fight or have just picked up the skill, you are quite an apt fighter and can land a nice punch or two when you need to.

Green Thumb
Plants respond to you naturally. Growing plants or vegetables comes easy to you. You might even find them better friends than humans or animals.

Hollow Leg
You can eat nearly everything and anything you want without gaining weight.

Huge Size
You are taller than a normal person or built in a muscular way that might intimidate the average person. Whether you were born this large or worked hard to build up your physique, people take notice.

Insensible to Pain
Pain does not affect as it might a normal person. You can ignore most painful things and continue about your normal business.

Natural Runner
You've never trained yourself to run a marathon, but when you are asked or need to run, you can do so with great speed, skill, and endurance.

Perfect Balance
You have a great sense of your center and are able to balance with little to no effort, even in the most stressful of situations.
