 They are purchased at [[Character Creation]] and can be both acquired and lost in play through various means (but not mechanically through [[advancement|Character Advancement]]).
-At character creation you start with **1** positive Quirk and may take up to an extra 3 positive quirks by taking a matching number of negative Quirks. Each Faction-Inspired Quirks counts as two positive quirks and one negative quirk. All Quirks can only be taken once each.

 These Quirks relate intrinsically to your character, their skills, physique and personality.
-=== Animal Magnetism (+) ===
+=== Tough Cookie (+) ===
+For whatever reason, you've always been a little tougher than the average person. Wounds you incur have a chance of being a level less severe than they should have been.
+=== Glass Jaw (-) ===
+You've never been one to roll with the punches; even the smallest wound can leave you out of the action for a couple of days. Wounds you incur have a chance of being a level more severe than they should have been.
-You have always found that animals are well disposed towards you. Small fluffy animals have been known to nuzzle right up to you whilst large ferocious animals usually give you the benefit of the doubt when you accidentally invade their territory.
 === Wealth of Experience (+) ===
-You have a broader base of experiences than most people. You start the game with 4 basic skills instead of 3.

-=== Dependant (-) ===
+=== Off To A Bad Start (-) ===
-You didn’t quite get the hang of surviving by yourself like everybody else did. You require somebody (which may be an NPC) to spend an action looking after you each turn, or you may start to struggle.
+The first few months have taken a rather large toll on you. You start the game with a permanent wound. Be aware that there may not be anybody capable of fixing this for some time.

+You didn’t quite get the hang of surviving by yourself like everybody else did. Tasks you try to undertake alone will not go as well as you might expect. Only in a group do you find you live up to your true potential.
+=== Survivalist (-) ===
+Through choice or circumstance, you do not access the communally distributed food and water of Monument. You must rely on yourself to gather food to survive. At the start of the game you have enough food stockpiled to last 6 months.

 === Luxury Item (+) ===
-You have managed to secure a useful or valuable item or stock of items. Specify what you would like this to be and we will provide you with something as close to your choice as possible that would make sense in the scope of the game.
+You have managed to scavenge a useful or valuable item or stock of items. Specify what you would like this to be and we will provide you with something as close to your choice as possible that would make sense in the scope of the game. Examples could include a crate of chocolate bars, a machete, or a vial of antibiotics. Requests for working, complex technology are likely to be denied.

 === Bureaucrats - Lobbyist (++-) ===
-Through a chance encounter you have managed to gain the favour of a middle-ranking bureaucrat. A word in the right ear often gets favourable policies made or resources invested in your buildings. However as with all these things, the red tape often means these changes will be several months coming.
