      <title>Re: Adopt a character trait</title>
      <description>You can try extreme superstition, such as;

Always throwing salt over their left shoulder when they sit down to eat. (Remember the superstition is that you are throwing salt in the face of the daemon behind you.)

Always looking down when walking on a sidewalk to make sure they don't step on a crack. (The old tail about breaking your mothers back.)

Extreme phobia about catching germs. Must always use a towelette to clean hands after touching anything, like other people or just about anything else.

Whistling all the time. (This can get very annoying to anybody accompanying them.)

Finally one more thought, extreme fear of something. It can be anything from a snake to a butterfly to red headed people.

Have fun.</description>

Needs to get approval from as many people as possible before committing to a plan.

Very dedicated runner, who runs 5 miles before starting the day most mornings and browses catalogues for new shoes and running gear all the time.  Once went out in a hurricane/ thunderstorm/ tornado warning et cetera to get the daily miles in.

Knows every episode and character of Star Trek TNG backwards and forwards.

Loves jewelry.  Describe this character's fabulous rings, bracelets, etc. in every scene.</description>

      <description>Won't drink anything that isn't blue.  Doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's blue.  May argue about whether something is blue enough to drink.
Can't wear a ring without taking it off and turning it over and over on the tip of their finger.
Braids feathers, bits of string, whatever else they can find, into their hair.
Always has food with them, even if they're only going out to check the mail.
Has to eat their food in a certain order, and finish one part of the meal before moving on to the next item.
Always has a pen with them, but never has anything to write on.

Also, I'm kind of tempted to steal the cat's cradle one.  Not for a character, though.</description>

Pathological fears of pretty much anything are good. See also: 

-character is obsessive about their appearance to a point of fanaticism, therefore spends a lot of time adjusting collars, socks, hair, etc, even at the most inopportune moments 
-character repeats any affirmation they make three times (never yes, always yes yes yes, never cool, always cool cool cool, etc)
-character fabricates their own memories if they cannot recall it precisely, making things up and convincing themselves of them to fill memory gaps. may or may not be aware that they do this. </description>

      <description>Ehh... he's a boy, but he likes to be clean, almost as if he were a girl. You know, cringes and calls things "icky" in his mind.

Another boy. He acts all polite, outgoing and well-behaved, especially around pretty girls, but often vulgarities slip out (like when he stubs his toe or loses a game), sometimes he scowls, and he's really nasty around guys (example his little brother).

Or how about a loser/annoying character who can't stop touching the pimple on his chin?</description>
