Mention a random quirk about your character

He holsters one and gets to reloading the other (they're revolvers). Not the most practical way to go about things, I admit, but he's the kind of guy who would throw a coin into the air and shoot it just to show that he can, so he's cocky enough to go for style over practicality.

Aw man, I was hoping he would just throw away his guns and get new ones from his clothes.

Nico's Anger might spontaneously combust.

Is that an Overwatch joke or a Drake of the 99 Dragons joke?

Alexia can only wear heels (or stand tip-toe) because her legs have shortened tendons, causing massive discomfort when she stands flat-footed.

My character have trouble remembering words.

He doesnt care about thr end of thr world stuff.

He only wants his mom back.

Val grew up in Las Vegas. So whenever she's at an airport she can be found wowing onlookers with card tricks. On the rare occasion, she brings a tarot deck she got from a Phony Psychic she knew growing up and does a reading or two while waiting on a flight.

Blake Martin is blind but makes use of implants and prosthetics to see (Sci-fi setting). Occasionally, she adjusts the settings on them to view the world around her in technicolor for amusement.

Marco had a soda habit as a child. He accrued so many glass bottles that he learned to shoot by routinely using them for practice on lazy afternoons. As an adult, he still can't dissociate the taste of cola and the smell of gun powder.

Evan used to act as a one man air squadron, and in dire need, a one man air force. Thanks to his ability to create (temporary) flying machines out of nowhere and control them with an upgraded, control center-like consciousness in his mind, he's able to help out greatly for his country... before his country fell thanks to the loss of its leader.

They're German.

Does Blake Martin 'block' people she doesn't want to see, literally? Would be a version of deaf people turning off hearing aids so that they don't have to hear a long lecture from their spouse.

Matthew watches people while they sleep, except this is done with good intentions. When he was around 12 years old, his father went to sleep and the next morning he and his mother couldn't wake him up (he presumably died from something like sleep apnea or SCD). He watches people for a good minute to make sure he can see their chest rise and fall.

Tobias is almost everybody's emotional venting dump/confidante. People find it easy to talk to him, especially since he's a good listener, always supportive of their opinions and is uninvolved in their lives, meaning they don't tend to worry about what they tell him. He acts a lot like a responsive wall with occasional nods and affirmations. Through this he learns a lot of people's secrets, small and big, and effectively is The Confidant taken up to eleven.

Skullten owns a coffin and regularly sleeps in it. He's not a vampire or anything (though he loves weird macabre things and communes with the dead). The story is that he was mistaken to be dead and was literally Buried Alive until he calls one of his friends for a video chat "from beyond the dead" (Commence the emergency grave-digging operation). He finds it cozy.

This is actually really fun.

Because she likes to sing and dance, Evangeline will sing whenever she's doing rather heinous acts.

Whenever it gets cold outside, Tessa will use her braid as a scarf.

Skullten is really sounding like an interesting character. Though that's only given my own strong interest in such topics, so... In fact, time to do one for only dead/undead characters in honor of it!

Libertine has practically no free will due to lacking a soul, and therefore has to be a "pet" to someone who does in order to not be an unruly predator (and have something of a personality). She used to be the pet of one of The Order, but when said master was murdered,she instead became the pet of The Dragon - and has no qualms about switching sides.

Nyceme can exert Mind Control over snakes, in addition to being half snake herself. She prefers the venomous variety, so that she can harvest said venom and drink it to maintain the integrity of her body - and use it as a weapon.

Zuri can manifest as anywhere from invisible to nigh tangible. She prefers to be the latter so that she can still interact with the world of the living - though when someone touches her, she feels like "a chilled and solidified fog". However, she lacks the ability to possess people - and would not really want to do so anyway.

Rosaria cannot stand garlic, despite technically not being a vampire. Strange, considering she hangs out with vampires, and none of them are adverse to garlic. Garlic will irritate her skin when touched and make her violently ill when ingested, and if somehow used during intercourse, will destroy her.

Oh, we're on a "death-associated characters" kick! I'll add to it!

Vincent, despite having horrifically low self-esteem and relentlessly blaming himself for anything that goes wrong, rarely apologizes for anything unless prompted.

In spite of (or perhaps because of) being born in Liverpool in the late 60's, Juliet hates the Beatles and all their music. Not that she'll let anyone not from her hometown say anything negative about them, of course.

I feel so blessed to have started a thing! And Skullten truly is such a bean.

Maya, the protag in the same story as Tobias, can see into the future (or just certain paths caused by certain choices. May be demoted to a Spider-Sense) Her secret is that her true name is Alicia Brown and at nine she sensed that she would die in her house and so packed her backpack full of supplies and ran away one night at 4 AM. True to her senses, her family was slaughtered by mysterious paranormal forces a day later. Newspapers circulated, calling her the "missing runaway who evaded death". She started a new life as Maya and lives as a "normal" gas station clerk working the graveyard shift.

Mouse helps his father, a mortician, with his work. Many of his friends know his profession, but few of his teachers do. At 17, he has already done eulogies for 20 funerals. He also has dark gray hair. No one knows why. He is color blind and wears special sunglasses sometimes.

Mari Nakagawa is a Japanese woman who can make water vehicles and amphibious machines pop out of nowhere just like how Evan makes flying machines pop out of nowhere. That's not the quirk, the quirk is that one is generally not advised to give her paper or foldable stuff, because most of the foldable stuff she is given will not stay long before they're turned into origami.

People are often shocked by the way Bram and Jo talk to each other, what with all the insults and sarcasm. They shouldn't worry, though. That's basically how those two do friendship.

Parker gets a kick out of saying intentionally rude or shocking things to people and watching their reactions. Except security staff. Them, he'll be unfailingly polite to. Because the first time he tried it on a bouncer he got his pasty arse kicked, and he's been terrified of them ever since.

For their one-year anniversary, Ka'Lela Hare gave Ingrid Steyn a Hare family signet ring, making her an honorary part of the Hare clan and giving her use of the family guard. When a boy harassed her at school, she invoked this power and sent a couple of the family's Hame'ta guards to stand outside the poor sod's house for a day or two and look menacing (which is pretty easy for Hammies, considering that most of them are over six feet tall and loaded with muscle.)

Incidentally, nobody harasses Ingrid anymore.

@Lady Tanuki: Late response, but Wicca's not related that much to Celtic paganism, ESPECIALLY not The Fair Folk in their mythological sense. "The Fair Folk" as a phrase is very specific to the Celtic version of it, and most people will think "the crazy Nature Spirits who make you dance to death and kidnap children." Wicca's a whole lot closer to British folklore than full-on Celtic Mythology, so it would make more sense if you had her partner be a straight-up pagan. After all, we exist in modern times. And we do not like being mistaken as Wiccan.

A pagan can have Wiccan leanings or a Wiccan can be heavily pagan, but if you're a full-on Wiccan, it means you've been taught by another Wiccan and been in a ceremony after you're done to initiate you into the faith. You can't read up for a couple years and then go "hey guys, I'm Wiccan now." Of course, there are Neo-Wiccans who point out that most people don't have access to a teacher/coven, so in the newer circles, you might be able to call yourself Wiccan despite the lack of formal study.

Meanwhile, if you don't identify with a mainstream faith like Buddhism, Hinduism, or the Abrahamic religions, you can call yourself pagan however much you fucking want, as long as you're not a dick.

Although if you have her mistake her partner for Wiccan at first and gets corrected on it (nicely or not), that would be GREAT.

From a constructed fantasy world I'm working on...

Ryya collects pebbles. Whenever she has free time, she likes to go to a nearby river, if she finds a pebble she likes, she takes it home. The collection has already reached up to her knees.

After becoming a Medic, Doc became a vegetarian. He took his duty to protect the sick and wounded very seriously, and eventually decided that all life was to be cherished, not just humans.

Bialo likes dragons a lot. In fact, he decided to study and specialize in fire magic on his own just because he wanted to emulate a dragon.

Elia and Eila are twins, both of whom have been merged with an extradimensional energy being alien. Elia's able to create devices that run on a specific energy, which is produced by Eila.

• Said aliens they're merged with are part of the same extradimensional being, so they both have the ability to do a Fusion Dance as a last resort Super Mode.
• Whenever the duo are separated for any reason, they'd be able to help each other. Elia would send devices over to Eila, and Eila would project energy to Elia from afar. After this, though, they'd joke to each other that one of them (the receiver) needs to pay for long-distance services (of course, this doesn't follow through).

Various characters' breakfast foods of choice:

Bram - Weet-Bix with brown sugar. He insists it's not boring. He's wrong.

Manon - Porridge with a bunch of sugar and even more strawberries. That's probably the source of the red colour it always seems to have. We hope.

Jo - Milo cereal. She will also just eat milo by the spoonful if you let her. Please don't let her.

Mayoi - Rice Bubbles, with like a ton of honey mixed in.

Spencer - Froot Loops. Cos pretty.

From the Crowley University story found in my description.

Evangeline Naamahspawn has a habit of saying, "that was one time" every time someone brings up things she does on a regular basis (such as using her powers to get free drinks at the bar or showing up for class naked), because she only counts the times she was caught doing them.

Hillevi Boarhide has difficulty understanding human social norms, so she will sometimes forget that disputes in human society are not resolved by single combat as they are in orcish culture and happily offer to fight as a friends champion if said friend is so much as having a spat with their roommate. Also, since orcs consider Brutal Honesty to be a sign of respect and flattery as an insult, she will often insult her peers without even knowing (although she is aware of this and is nothing but repentant if she catches herself doing so).

Fu Meihei is a huli jing, she'll have you know, and will forcefully educate you on the matter if you make the mistake of calling her a Kitsune or kumiho.

Because of the importance of "herd dominance" in centaur culture, Khulan will always make a point to try to take charge of her and Victoria's social group. However, everyone just ignores it when she attempts to do so, and she in turn ignores their ignoring it, convincing her that she is the dominant mare of their "herd."
