MERITS & FLAWS
Here are some new Merits and Flaws that can be used to flesh out a character and give you some extra points to spend. A total of nine points can be spent on merits or gained through flaws.
    
Psychological Flaws
Trusting: (3-5 point flaw)
    You don’t understand why any one would lie or steal from you or any one else for that matter. You trust people, for they would never want to do you harm. This means a +2 difficulty to all rolls involved when trying to tell if some one is lying to you, and +3 to lie to another. For every level taken in this flaw the difficulties go up by one.

Aptitude Flaws

    You just have no talent. You start the game with no talents under your attributes. And buying talents in game are at double the normal cost.

Supernatural Flaws
Spooky: (3 point flaw)
    You give people the creeps. It’s not what you say or what you do, its just, you. You have a look, an air about you that’s just plain…spooky. A +2 difficulty to all social rolls unless you can find some way to make it work for you, however it is unlikely.
Patched worked: (1-5 point flaw)
    You are made of the remains of other dolls. This is not a good thing; they for some reason or another have life still in them. And they fight you from time to time. The higher the rating in this flaw the larger the amount of your body is other dolls. You can spend Willpower points to take command of you body for a scene.

Physical Flaws

Moth eaten: (6 point flaw)

String: (4 point flaw)
    You have a string sticking out of your back with a ring on one end, and your voice box on the other end. As such you can’t speak unless your string is pulled and you can only talk as long as it is still sliding in to your back.
Beans: (4 point flaw)
Your stuffing doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. In fact they are beans! You have been stuffed with small pellets and when you take damage you leak and unless the gash is closed you will bleed to death within 4 rounds.
Freakish: (3 point flaw)
    You are a monster, or at least look like one. You gain a plus 1 difficulty to social rolls and your appearance can never go above one.

Human Society Flaws
Wada Scoop! : (6 point flaw)
    A member of the media has seen you and is now determined to prove you exist. This person will not go away. They want pictures, interviews any thing they can get their fingers on. This will make life hard for you in any way your Storyteller can think of.

Doll Ties Flaws
Twisted Upbringing: (1 point flaw)
    The adult that decided to look after you wasn’t quite right in the head. This is reflected in the twisted misguided things you say and do. Charisma rolls are +1 difficulty.

Bully: (3 point flaw)
    There is another doll that does not like you and has taken it upon him to make your life miserable. This doll has decided to bully you. It’s bigger and stronger than you. Your bully has never hurt you badly but it’s unpleasant nonetheless. The wonder this does to your self-esteem is a minus two temporary Willpower every day you wake up in the dollhouse and the dread of what you know the day has in store for you today. And there is the constant fear that when you get your pass your bully will find a way to hunt you down…
Crush: (2 point flaw)
    Another doll in the house has a crush on you. At first it was sweet but now it gets on your nerves. You have tried to be nice but this person will not leave you alone. You have tried it all to get this doll to let you alone, and still this doll persists. Or perhaps the shoe is on the other foot, in that case, loose a temporary Willpower point every day that you don’t win over the doll you have a crush on.

Human Society Merits

Supernatural Merits
Extra Marble: (3 point merit)
    Every doll is given a marble; this allows you to put things in to your pocket with out worrying about running out of room. You have two marbles instead of just the one, so you actually have two deep pockets.  Two marbles placed in the same pocket will cause a rip.
Crawling Stuff: (1-5 point merit)
    There is a strange mystical force within your stiffing that makes it move. If it is hanging out of your body it will try to crawl back in side of you, and if your body is destroyed it will find its way back to the dollhouse to be put in to a new body. All that needs to remain is a small amount in order for you to survive in this state. If a small amount makes it home and is packed with fresh stuffing in to a new body the power that makes it crawl will spread to your new stuffing.  At five points it will take one day to make it home, four points one week, three points two weeks, two points one month, and at one point a year. This Merit cannot be taken with the Flaw Beans.
