Theare no lines seperating good and evil, right and wrong, and their conscience is non-functional. They are desensitized to unacceptable, reprehensible, and inappropriate acts. They are like automatons, emotionless and cruel. Morality is one light shade of grey to them, so they'll calmly lie, cheat, steal, and kill. The terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" can be used to describe a person with antisocial personality disorder.
This is a dark character flaw to have as it allows its possessor to engage in atrocity and murder and feel no remorse for it.

FOR EXAMPLE - EXAMPLE A • TBD ACCURSED - "Looking through the family tree, all members of the Tohno household have died strangely." Variable trait. Madness. Accidents. Murder. Disappearances. Still births. Not one of them lived a long life, or even died peacefully." -Shiki Tohno, Tsukihime ACUTE SENSE YOUR CHARACTER sense(s) are severaly affected by 'X'.

FOR EXAMPLE - EXAMPLE A • TBD ADDICTION - Imposes a penalty equal to the Flaw value whenever you are not able to have your substance o' choice. Habitual Drinking and Smoking are gateway addictions. Heavy Drinking and smoking of Marijuana are considered minor additictions. Heavy use of marijuana is considered a medium addiction. Alcoholism, cocaine, or barbituates are considered heavy addictions. FOR EXAMPLE - EXAMPLE A • TBD ADVERSARY - Anyone opposed to the hero in question. Most adversaries are thugs of small time calibre, or simple muggers. The larger the adversary the harder they are going to be to defeat. Most consider the adversary a common opponent that retuns for many battles, although as stated before with muggers and thugs, is not always the case; See 'Enemies' FOR EXAMPLE - EXAMPLE A • TBD AGING - YOUR CHARACTER is getting old. Every 10 years over 40 reduces all Physical attribute by one. If YOUR CHARACTER wants it to affect your Mental attributes, just say so.

ARCH-NEMESIS - A foe that is a constant burden on the hero. These people have a personal stake in the destruction of the hero rather than them simply finding them on the street. These people search out the hero and plan sometimes elaborate traps to harm or kill the hero. They are everything their hero is not, their polar opposite in some respect. Sometimes, they are very closely related except for different ideals. They are the adversaries the heroes worry about; See 'Enemies'.

The second Human Torch (a member of the Fantastic Four) gained his powers due to exposure to cosmic rays while in outer space. Both men were unrelated. Bloodline characters are more commonly refered to as "Legacy Characters." FOR EXAMPLE - EXAMPLE A • TBD BUDDHIST CODE - This represents the moral code of many Buddhist monks. YOUR CHARACTER vows to abstain from violence (though YOUR CHARACTER can defend himself), to remain celibate, and to not eat red meat.

FOR EXAMPLE - EXAMPLE A • TBD BUSHIDO CODE - This is the honor code of the Japanese warrior/retainer. It demands that YOUR CHARACTER die a good death with his honor intact -- one might say that being prepared for death is the ever-present theme of this philosophy.

But above all, the code demands absolute loyalty to one's lord, even if that lord orders the samurai to kill himself or destroy everything YOUR CHARACTER loves. And if his lord forbids it, a samurai cannot avenge himself against someone who has insulted or dishonored YOUR CHARACTER, leaving the samurai to suffer from the insult and loss of face, silently bearing the shame until YOUR CHARACTER either kills himself or his lord rescinds the order. If someone else insults the samurai's lord, the samurai must answer that insult. FOR EXAMPLE - EXAMPLE A • TBD CHIVALROUS - YOUR CHARACTER must right any wrongs YOUR CHARACTER witnesses, correct social injustice, keep any oaths of loyalty YOUR CHARACTER swears, and honor all deals and obligations YOUR CHARACTER accepts.
