1 BP The addiction is mild and can be controlled for a few days  with conscious effort. After that they must satisfy their need.
 2 BP The addiction must be satisfied at every opportunity and is the main compulsion in the character's life,  to the exclusion of all other matters

Appetite
 The character is constantly hungry and looking for something to eat. When they do eat, the quantity consumed  is impressive. .

1 BP The character will get hungry every few hours or so, whining constantly until fed.
2 BP The character is constantly hungry and will always follow the smell of food.

Blindness
1 BP Not much of a handicap. The character can see while wearing glasses or uses psionics   or otherwise compensates.
2 BP Completely blind.
Suggested penalties: Character will always be last in initiative. All attacks against that   character are treated as a surprise attack.

Bushido
The character personifies the "way of the warrior". For the sake of simplicity I will describe it as a code of ethic in which loyalty, honor and self control are paramout and the driving forces in the character's life. Death is never feared, and every action must be taken as if it is your last.
- Absolute loyalty to the clan, and the Lord of that clan. Where he leads, you follow without question. Should your master die or become disgraced, you have no choice but to commit Seppuku or become Ronin, a masterless wanderer little better than a bandit.
- Willingness to commit Seppuku (ritual disembowelment) without hesitation and without fear or sign of pain. Whether at the request of your master, to preserve personal honor or the honor of your clan.
- Appearance, upkeep and respect for your weapon (swords especially) comes before your own food or comfort. For the sword is a reflection of its wielder.
- an offense to your personal honor, or that of your family must be avenged. Failing to do so means a loss of status and disgrace to your entire family/clan.
This type of ethic is mandatory for Samurai characters and can be employed, with varying degrees of intensity by salariman, craftsmen or any type of warrior.  Needless to say that this write up is very brief and is in no way intended to be a comprehensive look as Bushido.
 
1 BP: usually taken by non-warriors. While still concerned with loyalty and personal honor, it likely doesn't involve going as far as Seppuku.
2 BP: the character strives to live every instant of their life, and to make every action a reflection of  the way or the warrior

Collective Incompetence.
 Ever notice that one ninja is always an unstoppable killing machine, while a group of them can be slaughtered like preschoolers storming the Bastille? Its an unwritten law in anime that the more of them there are, the easier it is to go sweeping through them like a cuisinart on high. This defect penalizes these types of groups (traditionally things like Policemen, Ninjas, Security Forces , and Enemy Troops) who just can't seem to get the hang of teamwork.

The penalties are only taken into account at the time of actual combat. If the same group battles the player characters on three separate occasions, in three different sized groups, then the penalties would be different in each instance. (Eg. A squadron of 4 would have -1 to their Combat Value, while the entire force would suffer -5 and a sole Officer would suffer no penalty.)

This defect cannot be taken by an individual character, but can only be taken by a collectively by a group of two or more.  Every member included in the group gets 1BP.

1 opponent            No penalty
2-4 opponents       -1 to Combat and Defensive Values.*
5-8 opponents       -2 to Combat and Defensive Values
9-14 opponents     -3 to Combat and Defensive Values
15-19 opponents   -4 to Combat and Defensive Values
20+ opponents      -5 to Combat and Defensive Values

Disability
 Any sort of physical or mental problem that in someway impedes the character.

1 BP A minor problem such as the loss of one eye or a mental illness treatable by medication.
2 BP A serious problem such as the loss of an entire limb or a major physiological problem. It may be necessary to reduce a stat to reflect a disability this major.

Divine Punishments
 The character has ticked off somebody up there. Bad luck seems to follow their every action and the only law they follow seems to be Murphy's. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong. If things couldn't get any worse, it will .. that sort of thing.  (ed note: this works pretty good as a curse. And you don't have to award the BP either!)

1 BP: This character is always having an off day. Things just never seem to go their way.
 Suggested way of using it in a campaign: A roll of 11 or 12 counts as a critical failure.  The GM may order the results of any 1 action re-rolled per session.
2 BP: This character constantly walks around as if he just broke a mirror under a ladder while holding a black cat on Friday the 13th.
Suggested way of using it in a campaign:  A roll of 11 or 12 counts as a critical failure. The character must re-roll all critical success results (a second critical success still counts) . The GM may order the results of any 3 actions re-rolled per session.
 
Pervert
 The character finds any and all things relating to sex completely fascinating and spends most of their time patching the leaks in their inflatable doll, drilling holes into the girl's change room and devising complex strategies for the next panty-raid. When confronted by the possibility of the actual act they are most likely to become  over excited and usually faint.

1 BP Has only one perversion such as a foot fetish, or a peeping tom, or a varied collection of  panties.
2 BP Any and all perversions you can think of likely apply to this character.
 
Poor Social Graces
 The character is shy, clumsy or offensive in certain social situations, be it around members of the opposite sex, speaking in public or just generally irritating to everybody. Yes this one can include the famous "nosebleed" trait.

1 BP Is okay most of the time except in a few specific situations.
2 BP Completely useless around a substantial segment of the population.

Poverty
Squalor, hardship and barely scraping buy are the character's lot in life. Whether born poor, or cast there by financial scandal, this character has no money, and due to debt after debt, has a hard time holding onto any money they can scrounge and save.

1 BP. This character has some money coming in, usually through a low-paying job or charity and is probably deeply in debt.
2 BP. This character is living on the street. No job, no resources.

Romantically Irresistible
 Members of the opposite sex adore you, members of your own find you a hazard and try to remove you by any means necessary.

1 BP  Only one or a small group of people find you irresistible
2 BP Nearly everyone you meet will try to pursue you as a romantic interest, or remove you as a possible obstacle.
 
Sidekick
 The character is constantly followed by an adoring flunky who constantly tries to help, despite their complete ineptitude in pretty much everything. Whenever this person is around, things are guaranteed to get worse . The sidekick is impervious to every insult and attack made by the character and can go to extraordinary lengths  to follow their hero.

1 BP The sidekick is confined to a specific region, or has a life outside their adoration, appearing only from time to time.
2 BP The sidekick has no life outside their adoration and is a constant, if unwelcome companion.

Slow
The character walks at a slower pace then the others, consider the editing of 'Mr.Rogers' too fast paces and on the rare occasions when they break into a run, they are usually lapped by preschoolers on tricycles.
Character example: 'Ten' from Urusei Yatsura.
1 BP: A little slower than everyone  Reduce all initiative by 2
2 BP: A lot slower than everyone else.  Reduce all initiative by 5

Unreliable Equipment
 Ever had a wrist watch that just never seemed to work? Are you one of those people who are afraid of getting in a car for fear that the tires will fall off again? Completely useless with anything with working parts? This defects covers the mechanically challenged and the technology impaired.

1 BP One item chronically acts up, or the character is generally very clumsy with most items. Suggested way of working it into a campaign: Every time an item is used, the GM roles 1D6, and one a 1 the item malfunctions.
2 BP It seems that every time the character touches something it either explodes or lets out a little pathetic beep and dies.
 Suggested way of working it into a campaign: Every time any item is used, the GM roles 1D6, and one a 1, 2 or 3 the item malfunctions.
