1 month ago Before I get too deep into this while I don't have the brainpower yet though I honestly do think the point system should just go away entirely after hearing various arguments and input from folks.
The quirk system should have positive, neutral and negative quirks, but rather than keeping an exact score and trying to balance good with bad, it should just be a limit of like 2 positive quirks for everyone without forcing negatives to choose positives. This fosters the best use of the system for character creation instead of forcing yourself into negatives purely so you can access positives.
Some people will still choose positives without regard for character and that's just fine. It's not worth worrying ourselves over, just let them have it. That goes for the heirloom stuff too, I just haven't gotten back to editing or closing my PR yet.

About The Pull Request
This PR changes some quirks points and effects and remove some other. You start with a free -1 instead of 0 points so you get a free small ability without having to change your character for the worse (your character should be able to have a free trait that gives them something like giving good hugs without punishing the player with a negative trait).
Why It's Good For The Game
The current points for the quirks are bad. Some nonsense quirks cost 2 points with no effect and then some other points make the game so much worse to play and give so little points in return.
REASONING
POSITIVE QUIRKS (NEW, 2 POINTS) Alcohol Enjoyer: Combining alcohol tolerance + drunkhealing: We don't really need 2 different alcohol boost quirks and it's a buff since combined it should be 3 (2 -> 1 POINTS) Empath: Being able to tell how people feel doesn't warrant 2 points (2 -> 1 POINTS) Freerunning: Being able to climb tables slightly faster doesn't warrant 2 points (REMOVED) Plushie Lover: What this trait gives can be an item in the BeeCoin shop (REMOVED) Musician: What this trait gives can be an item in the BeeCoin shop NEUTRAL TRAITS (+1 -> 0 POINTS) Linguist: You are able to know what language people are talking but not what they are saying. Wow. Arguably should be like this by default NEGATIVE QUIRKS (0 -> -1) Mute: The only reason this isn't -2 points is because mimes could abuse it. Being mute considerably hinders your ability to communicate (-1 -> -2) Alcoholic: Alcohol takes a kick out of your liver. Also -2 points means you can do the ultracombo and combine it with the new combined alcohol tolerance + drunkhealing to become an absolute alcohol unit, given that you start at -1 (-1 -> -2) Foreigner: You don't understand anyone and they can't understand you. Significantly alters the game for the worse. (-1 -> -2) Poor aim: I think -2 points suits this better than -1 because of the implications it has. It's like having clumsy for weapons, and if clumsy was a trait it would probably be either -2 or -3 points. (-2 -> -3) Trauma: Traumas can really affect your ability to play the game, can put you to sleep instantaneous without any counterplay, can even directly kill you. (-3 -> -4) Paraplegic: I think the wheelchair and the annoyance of being someone at the mercy of everyone at all times it's (REMOVED) Deafness: I've never seen anyone use this trait. Is anti-rp, forces people to emote with you and is just too much of shooting yourself in the foot.Testing Photographs and Procedure
