This subsection details how the '''Heinous past''' traits function.

* '''Heinous past (neutral town):''' This character is '''banned''' from one [[Civilized Areas|neutral town]] (specify which, subject to GM approval), attempting to re-enter that town will result in an attempt to '''arrest or kill the character'''. At the GM’s discretion, people affiliated with that town may hire mercenaries to form ~~a death squad~~ hit squads specifically targeting the character ~~which~~ . These hit squads can appear at ~~random moments~~any moment and should be appropriately armed and equipped.* '''Heinous past (faction):''' As above, but applies to '''an entire [[faction]]''' and '''every town controlled by that faction'''. Members of that faction will '''attack the character on sight''' when met in the [[UA]], and that faction may form ~~a death squad~~ hit squads specifically targeting the character ~~which~~ . These hit squads can appear at ~~random moments~~any moment and should be appropriately armed and equipped.

** Although this trait is intended to be used with a major faction, you may ask the GM to take the trait with a minor faction if it makes sense for your character. As minor factions do not control any towns, it is up to the GM to make the difference in one way or another (e.g., reducing the point gain to +2, increasing the amount of death squads, etc.)

=== Just can't use this ===

For every level of this trait taken, you must select '''~~two~~ four [[combat skills]]'''. The selected skills become '''restricted'''. You may take up to 4 levels in this trait, resulting in up to '''8 16 restricted combat skills'''. All restricted combat skills must be marked as such on your character sheet.* The first two combat skills you select for each level must belong to either the '''Firearms''' or '''Heavy weapons''' group.* The last two combat skills you select for each level must belong to the '''Melee and misc.''' group.

A '''restricted combat skill''' cannot receive any '''Training Points''' or any '''Skill Points''', effectively permanently locking it at '''Unskilled''' level.

A character may have up to 3 permanent addictions of any tier. The amount of points granted depends on the tier.

When taking the trait, you must specify which substance family you wish your character to be permanently addicted to. A permanent addiction '''starts you with Dependency Level 1''' for the corresponding addiction, and '''removes the possibility of treatment''' at a [[hospital]]. You can only mitigate a permanent addiction from higher levels back down to Level 1, but never completely remove it.

=== Phobia ===

The two phobia types are as follows:

* '''Phobia (single creature)''': Select a particular [[creature]]. If your character enters [[Combat mode]] against at least one individual of that species, your character gains an '''FT +1''' effect. After combat, the [[Effects#Stress|Combat stress]] effect is '''quadrupled'''.* '''Phobia (category)''': Select an entire [[creature]] category. If your character enters [[Combat mode]] against at least one member of this category, your character gains an '''FT +1''' effect. After combat, the [[Effects#Stress|Combat stress]] effect is '''quadrupled'''.

Restrictions: You cannot select the '''Humans, Halflings, Youkai, Angelic, Demonic''' or any of their members to be the subject of a Phobia.
