Interpersonal relations are not your forte. Commonly known these days as social anxiety, this Flaw adds +2 to the difficulty of your social rolls, thanks to your discomfort when dealing with other folks. If, all the gods forbid, you wind up as the center of attention (a situation you avoid whenever possible), your social rolls gain a +3 addition to their difficulty. Story-wise, this shyness comes across as avoidance, introversion, and awkwardness in many social situations even when you actually want to hang out and make a good impression.

Anger management is not your strong suit. When something or someone pisses you off (which happens with distressing regularity), you must make a Willpower roll (difficulty 6) or else deal with that shit gloves-off style. You probably won’t use deadly (or vulgar) force too recklessly, as you’re not long for this world if you do. Your infamous temper, however, can have severe long-term effects on your popularity, health, and status among your peers and superiors… which is itself a lethal proposition among members of the Technocratic Union and other groups that pride themselves on self-control.

To those who can sense it, your aura burns with amazing brilliance and clarity. Even folks who can’t actually perceive this bright corona of energy realize that you’re “different.” Entities that can read your aura react accordingly; some will treat you with uncommon respect, while others will view you as a nice meal. The nature of your aura cannot be hidden easily (+2 to the difficulty of any attempt to do so), and while this is a dreadful disadvantage for, say, a Nephandus, people who prize forthright integrity may reduce their difficulties by -2 when they’re trying to make an impression that’s in accord with that vivid aura and affecting characters who can sense it.
