External Mood Influence

-1 point

You don’t suffer from anything as severe as Lunacy
(p. B143), but your moods mirror some changing aspect of
nature – be specific. This can be cyclic (like tides or the
moon’s phases) or random (like the weather), fast-changing
(like the sun’s movement across the sky) or slow (like the sea-
sons). Then pick a set of mental quirks that you acquire, one
at a time, in response to current conditions. All of this counts
as a single, complex quirk.
Example: Someone might exhibit Congenial (p. 17) in sum-
mer, seeking to share fair weather with others; Distractible
(above) in autumn, preoccupied by thoughts of coming winter;
Uncongenial (p. 20) in winter, desiring to be left alone like a
bear in its den; and Dreamer (above) in spring, thoughts turn-
ing to summer rather than any business at hand.
This might be a quirk of psychology, but many fantastic
beings are supernaturally attuned to phenomena that govern
their moods.
