These add extra customization to the character. They are optional. Limit is 4 points of perks and 6 points of flaws. For each perk point taken, a flaw point must also be taken, however flaws make be taken without a perk point to balance out. In this case, character gets an extra 1D (3 pips) to add to skills at character creation per extra flaw point taken. Quirks are separate and are limited to 2, and do not count as either perk or flaw points.
- Perks: Benefical boosts to a character. Limit 4 points
- Flaws: Negatiive effects on a character. Limit 6 points.
- Traits: Combined perk/flaw. Point value reflects how many points it uses from both (perk/flaw)
- Quirks: Extra abilities of limited but interesting usefulness
