How about being able to deal with some background in a hurry?  How about NOT being able to adjust well?

Quick Adapter

Cost: 5 Karma

You’ve always been an early adapter.  You have the best commlinks and the newest grimoires.  You also are the quickest on the uptake.  Decrease the time it takes you to adapt to a background count by half.

And the flipside…

Slow Adapter

Bonus: 5 Karma

Honestly, you’ve never been “with it.”  Your style is at least 10 years out of date.  You can barely program your commlink, and don’t even get you on the AR as you can’t find your own PAN.  This is just like how you deal with magic.  Double the time it takes you to adjust to a background count.

I have a player who’s a face who wants to get bonuses when he’s tippsy.  Let’s make that happen.

Liquid Encouragement

Cost: 5 Karma per rank( 1 to 3 ranks)

Requirement: Addition(alcohol) quality

Sometimes you need a little bit of encouragement.  You get yours from a bottle.  When you’ve a bit bit to drink ( or a bit more), you get a little looser, and its gets everybody a little more money when you meet with the Johnson.  For every rank you have in this quality, you may take a -1 dice pool penalty in all logic checks and gain an equal bonus to all Social skills, a bonus to Social Limit, and High Pain tolerance equal to the total bonus gained by this quality.
