I just thought up a kind of fun thing for a GURPS character

[xiphias]

I was just thinking about how to model "calm in emergencies, even though freaks out other times." And I got this image of a fun bit for a character. . .

Unfazeable (Emergencies Only, -30%) -- 11 points
Danger Sense -- 15 points
Quirk: hates scary movies, bungee jumping, roller coasters, etc, and screams like a little kid and has nightmares if actually goes to one.

I just had this image of this character being forced to go through a carnival haunted house or something like that by his friends and party members, and, all of a sudden, becoming totally calm. And the other characters noticing this and freaking out -- because if THIS character is calm, it means that there's some sort of ACTUAL danger around. . .

Um, that's me.

I hate being easily quantifiable.

hmmm

other items I would throw into that mix:

Blessed (abilities useful only in situation of immediate physical danger)
-Unfazeable
-Fearlessness
-danger sense
-combat reflexes

quirks sound good as real full blown phobias would probably still apply even as the 'Blessed' items kick in
