	'''Quirks''' are modifiers to your character in Space Station 13.

You can see their names, and ~~next to~~ those, a short gameplay descriptor on what they do. ~~To the right of that is~~ a ~~button to either take the~~ quirk ~~or lose~~ it.

Quirks are organized alphabetically and by quality, in order of: negative, neutral, and positive. You can see their names, and underneath those, a short gameplay descriptor on what they do.

Whenever you spawn in, either through late joining or when the round starts, your quirk setup will be locked in - your character will have those quirks until the round ends, and changes you make to the setup during the round will not apply.

	Quirks use a point system, called '''quirk balance,''' which defaults to 0. This is used to balance the quirks you take, and designed in such a way that every positive quirk requires some drawbacks. Positive quirks ~~take from~~ this balance, negative quirks ~~add to~~ it, and neutral quirks don't affect it at all.		Quirks use a point system, called '''quirk balance''', which defaults to 0. This is used to balance the quirks you take, and designed in such a way that every positive quirk requires some drawbacks. Positive quirks add to this balance, negative quirks take from it, and neutral quirks don't affect it at all.

	You cannot buy a positive quirk unless you have ~~the~~ balance ~~for it~~, but you can take any amount of negative quirks. For instance, if you take the Poor Aim quirk, you now have a quirk balance of 1 and can purchase any one quirk that has a balance cost of -1, like Night Vision. If you were to also take Nearsighted, you would have a quirk balance of 2, and could take a quirk with a cost of -2, like Skittish or Self-Aware. In this case, you could also take two quirks that cost -1. Simple stuff!		You cannot buy a positive quirk unless you have a negative balance, but you can take any amount of negative quirks. For instance, if you take the Poor Aim quirk, you now have a quirk balance of -1 and can purchase any one quirk that has a balance cost of +1, like Night Vision. If you were to also take Nearsighted, you would have a quirk balance of -2, and could take a quirk with a cost of +2, like Skittish or Self-Aware. In this case, you could also take two quirks that cost +1. Simple stuff!

	Regardless of balance points, you can only have six ~~total~~ quirks at a time. Unspent balance is left unused.		Regardless of balance points, you can only have six positive quirks at a time. Unspent balance is left unused.

	~~Example~~ quirks setup~~, using the right image as a reference~~:		An example quirks setup:

	* You now have 2 points~~, so you~~ take Self-Aware for 2.		* You now have 2 points to spend.
			**You take Self-Aware for 2 points.
	* You decide not to take Night Vision, and instead you want Skittish.		* You decide not to take Night Vision, and instead you want Skittish.

	* You take Pacifism ~~to gain~~ 2 points.		*You now have a balance of -1.
	* You take Prosopagnosia ~~to gain~~ 1 point.		** You take Pacifism for -2 points.
	* You take Self-Aware again and then take Skittish. You now have 0 points.		** You take Prosopagnosia for -1 point.
	This setup coincides with the point costs (0 - 1 - 2 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 0) as well as the quirk limit (5/6)~~. If you wanted, you could also take an additional negative quirk or a neutral quirk to get your maximum quirks~~.		** You take Self-Aware again and then take Skittish.

	Keep in mind that there's nothing forcing you to take the maximum amount of quirks, spend all your points, or even use quirks at all. You are able to enter the game and play even with no quirks, so don't let it concern you too badly!
