More Medical Body Traits- Character Setup - Whele - 10-04-2025
Here are some ideas for some interesting traits and genes that I think would help round out the existing ones.
Traits: Some characters have chronic illness that dealing with is a part of their lives.
Asthmatic- (0): Periodic coughing, wheezing, gasping, falling over, alleviated by Salbutamol-filled hypospray that the person starts with. Or perhaps a new inhaler item!
Diabetic- (0): Feeling tired and weak, blurry vision, alleviated by insulin-filled hypospray that the person starts with.
Hypertensive- (0): Living large on Discount Dan's food has its consequences, and blood pressure is abnormally high. Get you some fish oil!
Face Blind- (0): If a player is not wearing an ID, you do not know what their name is.
Possibly more suited toward genetics, less roleplay friendly:
Exploding head syndrome- (0): Periodic auditory exploding noises are heard. Not the funny kind of exploding heads.
Mumbler- (0): Periodic involuntary whispering instead of speaking.
Preemptively, DM is too strange a language for me to learn, so hopefully my posting these provides ideas provides entertainment value at the very least.

I like the Mumbler and Hypertensive one, last one should be just the gene reinforced, maybe Hypotension since we got the opposite as a gene too.
About Asthmatic and Diabetic, there seems to be generally an avoidance of these to implement.
I think, as long they are respectfully portrait and still balanced (can't believe how weird that sounds), there should be no hindering to add them.
I ABSOLUTELY do NOT want a 0 Trait to hand out hyposprays, I think you mean auto-injectors, which would be consistent with the Allergic traits.
(PS, if you want pseudo Inhalers, fill a medical vape with salbutamol, works about the same)
