=== Heinous past ===

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 specifically targeting the character which can appear at random moments.
* '''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 specifically targeting the character which can appear at random moments.

If your character also has the '''Sworn Nemesis''' trait, the Sworn Nemesis may be part of (or be) the death squad.

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

For every level of this trait taken, you must select '''two [[combat skills]]'''. The selected skills become '''restricted'''. You may take up to 4 levels in this trait, resulting in up to '''8 restricted combat skills'''. All restricted combat skills must be marked as such on your character sheet.

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

=== Murphy's Law ===

A character with this trait is phenomenally unlucky, and it is up to the GM to manifest these bouts of bad luck. They can be inconvenient and annoying (but ultimately harmless), or they can have real and serious effects (imparting damage or [[Effects]] to the character). It's all up to the GM.

Suggestions:
* Lights going out in a [[UA]] room without warning, plunging the character into [[Effects#Accuracy|environmental darkness]]
* [[Radio|Radios]] or [[television|TVs]] failing when operated by the character, possibly shocking them and delivering [[Pain]]
* [[Sink|Sinks]], [[Shower|showers]], [[toilet|toilets]] suddenly failing and bursting a pipe, coating the character in sewage water and giving them a [[Effects#Elemental|water-soaked effect]]
* And anything else you can come up with...

=== Permanent addiction ===

For the purposes of this trait, all [[addictions]] are categorized into tiers:
* '''Low tier:''' Nicotine, Alcohol, Cannabis
* '''Medium tier:''' Amphetamine, Benzo, MDMA, Opioid
* '''High tier:''' Anabolic steroids, Cocaine, PCP, Magic mushrooms

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 '''removes the possibility of treatment''' at a [[hospital]].
