That is easily the quote of the week! I couldn’t agree with you more, Vhite.

It just doesn’t work. One solid quirk that acts as a focus, with one or two possible “lesser quirks” is more than enough to give a character a unique flavor.

Can’t stress that enough. What’s worse than boring generic party, is a party of special snowflakes which looks like it just escaped from an insane asylum. A character who appears generic on surface but has one little quirk which can reveal depth of personality under stress is immeasurably more appealing to me than a character which can talk to cats, has blue skin and inexplicably levitates during sleep.
