new and improved gypsy curses...
awhile back i created a list of new and improved gypsy curses for SOLAR. i was reading them today and laughing hysterically. hopefully, you will too.
Chlamydia - You contract, through mystical means, a severe case of the clap. Your groin area itches and burns with an intensity that is hard to disguise and others will soon notice your strange behavior. Like scratching your crotch and constantly shifting positions to try and find comfort…but it doesn’t work.
Lockjaw - Won’t be bragging about your kill now…will you?
Tactless - The part of your brain that provides tact in social situations is completely shut down. Good luck.
Addiction - You’re craving…something. Really, really bad! But what? You don’t know, but you need it, at once. And when you figure it out, heaven, bliss. At least until you become dependent. Oh yeah, rehab is not an option.
Possible addictions:
- Cure potions
- Random Vorpral coatings
- Dandelions
- Foul language
Paranoia/Sketch-out - They know. They all know. They are all in on it. You have to get out. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
MDMA - The character becomes psychologically…altered. Like they have just taken some ecstasy. Smiling, bumbling, and generally being the happiest person alive. But it gets annoying, really quick, and people just want you to shut up. And no, you don’t have anything to chew on. No one does. Stop asking!
OCD - You are now obsessive compulsive about something…or many things.
Vulgarity - You have a dirty, dirty mouth. Foul language is your bread and butter and you use it well…especially around women.
Hangover - Why is everything so loud…and bright? You feel rotten, and you are about to wretch. Life sucks.
Ineptivety - It looks neat…but what does it do? You don’t know. Nor do you know how to use it, even if it is something simple, like a shoe, or a fork.
Turrets - You randomly shout exclamations and usually at inopportune times. Plus, sometimes you twitch. Weird.
Two left-feet - You cannot walk properly and stumble around wherever you go.
Co-dependent - Yeah, almost everything you do they think is wrong, but you love them and they need you. Maybe if you just try a little harder, they will see. They will be grateful for everything you have done.
Scurvy - Not enough Vitamin C and your limbs start to hurt. You just want to lie down so there is no more pain. Ouch…quite touching me!
Promiscuity - You cheat, a lot, even if your not with someone.
Manic Depression - Man, you lost your job, your money, your better-half…well…you saw them dry humping some freak in the tavern so it’s a safe assumption. This sucks. Life sucks. Give up.
Sexual Confusion - It’s not that you’re into either guys or girls…you’re attracted to the person…right?
Babble - There is no such thing as inner monologue anymore. Anyone can play.
Amotivational Syndrome - Dude, I’m, like, tired or something. Lets just chill here for a while, all right? I just don’t feel like doing anything.
Epilepsy - Suddenly you see a bright light, and you feel like going for a walk, and, as you do so, your body starts to shake. You don’t care…your walking down the tunnel. Careful you don’t swallow your tongue.
Narcolepsy - So you are outside a cabin…casting some formal to blow the Ward. Midway through the ritual you pass out and your companions beat you senseless for wasting their last set of components…bummer. Plot just laughs.
Leprosy - You become a leper, your arm falls off, and no one wants to be around you.
