Oh! oh@ oh!!!.. Loss of Confidence (Performance) Skill !! 10pt Negative, but GM would probably let you take as 5pt..

And I would probably get rid of Blighted... not sure GM would allow you to take anyways..

OR

Probably even better, get rid of Distinctive Style. Young Girl doesn't really fit Quality description in my opinion.

..Loss of Confidence is also not permitted in Missions..

Her Blighted quality was accepted as it is part of her background and it is not prohibited in Missions play.

According to the description of Distinctive Style in the Core rules:

A Character with the Distinctive Style quality has at least one aspect of his appearance, mannerism, or personality that makes him inconveniently memorable. Choices for Distinctive Style include, but are by no means limited to: tattoos that cannot be easily concealed, an accent or atypical manner of speaking...

Looking like and having the personality of a very mischievous young girl (with a strong Balkan accent and speaking in broken English) fits the quality pretty well. Particularly so when she does something like like giggling after firing off a grenade at a bunch of go gangers while saying "beeeeeg BADABOOM! ". I would call that "distinctive" and the Missions group agrees.

Reduced Sense: Hearing. Considering what she's been though and the fact she uses explosives it would work, however again, just not sure how it would fit it with the fact she's a musician as mentioned above.

It didn't stop Ludwig van Beethoven though.

...very true.

The cost of the quality is based on how frequent you are exposed to your trigger, not how "common" it is in the general population or people with phobias.

Stasiphobia – fear of standing or walking
Chronophobia – fear of time and time moving forward

While certainly "uncommon", good luck with those two.

Arachnophobia could be classed "uncommon" if you run in a city, not so much in a rural campaign.

...the loss of confidence in her ability to perform before an audience really has no impact as the game is concerned.  It is more background colour.  Furthermore Loss of Confidence is yet one more quality that is disallowed.

Missions is pretty strict about what qualities are permitted, some are prohibited simply for game balance purposes (no SURGE for example) and story flow while others are not allowed as they would be difficult to work into the short time frame of a Missions run. (usually four to five "realtime" hours).

Getting late (early?) here so have to turn in.  Will post the basics of the character tomorrow....err....later today when I wake up.

..or the CZ in Chicago. 

Yeah I want to stay away from ridiculous or frivolous ones like that. Seems the ones that make the most sense tend to fall more into the common rather than uncommon category.

One thing I can say, once Hard Targets is approved, all those characters with an Allergy to Silver are going to find life in the sprawl a bit more "exciting".

[Rooks]

Impassive is a good one even if you are over your limit just take the 5k instead of 7 karma

[jim1701]

I gave fear of flying to my troll brawler with anger issues.   

[All4BigGuns]

For the most part, Claustrophobia would probably be rather uncommon.

Reminds me...I kinda want to build a claustrophobic agoraphobe with acrophobia. 

[kyoto kid]

....that's my thinking as there are different degrees and triggering conditions. Some people are fine in a room or car, but get unnerved in a lift or airliner cabin as they feel "sealed in" with no way out until the lift stops at their floor or the aeroplane finally taxis to the gate..

With Leela she was nearly buried alive when a building she was hiding in collapsed after it was hit by a rocket during the invasion.  Moments beforehand, she saw her brother and mother get caught underneath a wall that gave way as they were trying to find cover in the panic. When her father went back to try and dig them out she saw him get cut down by an armed drone. Those were the last things she remembered until she woke up months later in the medical facility of the old underground bunker the resistance used as one of the operations bases.

Yeah, war is drek.

So first, Kyoto Kid, I have to ask why do you start every post with ellipses, also known as "..."? I'm just curious.

Secondly, have you thought about having a fear of explosions, or something less defined like afraid of being trapped? It produces the same effect that you are looking for, but doesn't trigger as often.

I always thought it was his/her grip. The way everyone has their own personal style. That's his/hers.

It's also like a pre-signature.

Some people have a "schtick". There was a guy around for a while that always used red text when he posted.

[kyoto kid]

...yeah, I've had the "signature quality" for a long time, all the way back to the BBS days.

...considering she uses a grenade launcher and is a demolitionist, fear of explosions would sort of contradict the whole concept of the character.  Oh, she has a healthy respect for what explosives can do, which is why she is very careful when handling and using them. Again she takes after her late father who was a pyrotechnician.(she managed to salvage his chip based library of fireworks formulas from her ruined home).

Now fear of being trapped I see as a good possibility. it also fits in with her fear of the Serbian "Blacksuits" (secret police) back when she was in Zagreb.  When they showed up at your door, you were never seen again.

Is there a clinical name for that?

[SichoPhiend]

How about a fear of medical treatment, if after she woke up she discovered that the docs kept her in a medically induced coma while people she knew continued to die.  She could feel guilty about not being able to help them, being in a coma and all, and have developed a fear of treatment because it could lead to her being incapacitated in a bed while others are in danger.
