Merits & Flaws

FLAWS

Distinguishing Characteristics (tattoos)      Physical     2
Tae has physical features that makes you very easy to pick out in crowds. Tae has a large Triskele tattoo on the back of his neck that is visible to all. He also has scattered Momiji leaves tattooed to the insides of each forearm, which can be hidden when he is wearing long sleeves.

Conditional Magic (Time/Divination)     Supernatural     4
Tae cannot use the Time Sphere outside the day of the Full Moon. This effects his Divination most, but also anything else that he might try to do that uses the Time Sphere.

Shy     Mental     1
Tae gets distinctly ill at ease when dealing with people in general social settings (outside his healing work) and tries to avoid social situations whenever possible. Most especially, he becomes completely flustered in situations where all the attention is on him (such as leadership moments, performance, competitions, and the like).
Difficulties for all rolls involving social interaction with strangers are increased by two. If the character becomes the center of attention in a large group, difficulties are increased by three.

Aversion bordering on Phobia (guns)     Mental     1
This is an overpowering response to guns for Tae. He is uncomfortable about their use, but will not necessarily freak out if someone else is using one. However, if one is on a table, he will do his best to avoid it, keeping his distance from it. If handed one, he will immediately drop it, and might be very out of sorts for a little while.
Roll Willpower difficulty 6 to maintain composure after handed a gun.


MERITS

Code of Honor (Bushido/Budo)     Mental     2
Tae a personal code of ethics to which he adhere. This is the Bushido Seven Virties, sometimes called the Budo or Bushido Code and closely resembling that of Aikido. He is learning the Art of Peace and seeing how it fits into his current Code of Honor.
Gain two additional dice to all Willpower rolls when acting in accordance with the code (e.g., defending the helpless) or when attempting to avoid situations that might force them to violate their code. 

Concentration     Mental     1
Tae the ability to focus his mind and shut out any distractions or annoyances.
He is unaffected by any penalties stemming from distracting circumstances (e.g., loud noises, strobe lights, or hanging upside down).

Conditional Magic (Time/Divination)     Supernatural     4
Tae can only use the Time Sphere on the day of the Full Moon. This effects his Divination most, but also anything else that he might try to do that uses the Time Sphere.
