What are the best character quirks you've encountered?

A girl haunted and chased down by -Malice-

I once had a character who was the Dark Incarnation. He had a hard time with people calling him just Dark, because it's not really a name, rather than a title. He studied the nature of death and sleeping sickness. Was also interested to witness a person lose their vision due to a blow to the head. He had some apprentices along the years but they all died.

Concerning other people's characters, I like how Troy is always drinking from a mug. No one else seems to do that, so you could call it a quirk. It makes me think of this one guy in Phoenix Wright, (which I've never personally played, just seen parodies on Youtube).

I know of (at least one) that always uses a flask...

I know of another mug drinker one bottle drinker, and one flask drinker.. and a stein.

Think Troy is the most consistent of them, but it might be partially because he drinks the most?

I enjoy complex... and really liked somebody who did such a good job of portraying having Aspergers.
You could not figure it out at first, except for those who have had prior experience with it and recognize the cues.

This person did such a good job at it. The char was just stuck in a horrible situation and suicide was the way out.

Most of my chars have an obsessive compulsive disorder, in a bigger or lower level... Worst thing is, one of those disordes was spotted in game by another char even before I knew my char has it...

Should I worry about my compulsions?

Rah- A woman who was addicted to rasberries, if she didnt eat them at least once a day she got really angry...she also demanded to be fed them and didnt want to get them herself.

Unnamed Woman-Crazy woman who spoke in riddles and hit people with a shovel.

[Joshuamonkey]

Ze Narrator - I found the guy's accent and mannerisms hilarious.

True, Narrator was done well. He was definitely unique.

I also agree that Boneman is a good example of a well done character quirk, and Boneman is very old. That's consistency. I don't know many quirky characters that live that long, and he still talks about bones.

Also, Melody who was with Jack. Roleplaying blindness takes effort, and she does it well.

Was this somewhat recently, in D'Hara?

I spawn quirky characters as times, but they're more a novelty and I usually quickly lose interest in them because they have no real depth. Then sometimes they develop actual meaningful relationships with people, and I'm stuck...

Probably the worst was the character that spawned "knowing" the names of the town, people, just coming up with random names and back stories for all of them. It was good fun, but then things got serious... If I had thought it out better, I would have made it a character with a plausible fugue form of amnesia, but I screwed up too much to make it realistic. He eventually had a tragic end.

Rau Naedell Blackrock....shes tough and mean, but she has a good structure and gov't.

This reminded me of my doctor character, who wrote about all the symptoms of death and sleeping. She served only one man in her short life, meeting only two or three other people who were passing travellers. When that man was taken by the same sickness she spent all her life studying, she admitted to a trader she was unable to accept her failure and soon fell asleep. I think I even recall role-playing her getting sleepier with every day and the trader was kind enough to stay and ease the suffering with some small talk.

Personally I'd like more riddle-type characters. Of the sphinx variety.

[Lazarae]

I'm a little concerned my latest character is more annoying than I meant for him to be. He's supposed to have this childlike exuberance for life plus an inability to sit still but he comes off more like a thirteen year old trying to be "lol so random, pineapple pancake monsters"

Bluh.

My first character is an albino, though not explicitly mentioned as such. It's fun trying to drop little hints.

I have an idea for a character quirk, but I'll need to find the right opportunity to make it happen. I'm trying to decide whether to convert one of my characters into said quirk, or wait until I spawn a new one.

I think it's weird that no one RPs allergies, I have one character who is allergic to limestone (decided to make it an obscure allergy and not something common like a food allergy, and also figured it would be easier to consistently RP without issues) and I'm thinking of giving some of my other characters allergies eventually. But I haven't seen any other characters in Cantr with any kind of allergy, has anyone else seen any? I just think it's weird, that being mute or having a speech impediment is so common but allergies are virtually non-existent.
