Ghoul Quest (Tokyo Ghoul)

I mean, fair enough and totally understandable but a lot of people have been voting for individual things I think which skews how the votes look.

Perhaps next time, we can have people make plans so it goes easier? Idk
Well, Rinkaku and Wolf Among Sheep won whether you consider individual or block votes, so they'd have won either way?

I am sad that Tank Ripkowsky lost to Alicia Abell, if only because I feel Ripkowsky is a much funner name (It is actually a real name and not something I made up, believe it or not), but name and gender are pretty much aesthetic choices at this point.

eh
it probably the picture that sway people opinion
 
Well, I guess we're a Rinkaku type then, it can't be helped now, but I did warn you. On to the actual plot next.
 
Character Creation Part 2
Alicia Abell, adopted daughter of Dr.Rebecca Abell. A very respected doctor in your city. To your friends and extended family, you are a normal family, no one knows you're actually a Ghoul and your human mother is more than likely stealing cadavers from a local hospital to feed you. You have no memories of your biological parents as you where but a baby when Dr Abell found you. The only thing you have from your biological parents, beside your ghoul nature of course, was a..

Memento
[] Cheap Necklace with a Heart shaped pendant.
[] very expensive golden ring.
[] Key shaped earring
[] Locket, the picture inside is torn and burnt.

It was found in the blanket wrapped around you. For one reason or another, it's still with you to this day.

You Live in
Starting City
[]Tucson, Arizona. (Ghoul Crimes are Moderate. Anti-Ghoul Police Measures are Moderate.)
[]Chicago, Illinois (Ghoul Crimes are Very Low. Anti- Ghoul Police Measures are Extreme.)
[]Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Ghoul Crimes are High, Anti-Ghoul Police Measures are Low)

You've just started attending college. Mother would not have allowed anything else. Thankfully at the moment you don't need a job. you are studying to be a..
College Focus
(This will have a minor effect on Traits)
[]Doctor (You're following in your mother's footsteps)
[]Psychologist (Much to your mother's disappointment)
[] Lawyer
[] Archaeologist
[] Computer Programmer
[] Write in

People generally describe your Demeanour as
[]Choleric: Always active and taking charge, yet easy to provoke to anger.
[]Billous: Watchful, aware. Suspicious and prone to bitter moods.
[]Phlegmatic: Practical and careful. Generally Very Serious
[]Sanguine: Confident, and Optimistic. Prone to flights of whimsy.
[]Melancholic: Thoughtful, introspective and prone to fits of gloom.

Through out your life you have developed a goal. A desire, a plan for your future that is always in the back of your mind

Ambition
[] Normal Life: You just want a normal life. Nice Job, Spouse, maybe a few kids, adopted probably.
[] Freedom: You don't want to spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, hiding who you are out of fear of what the world would do to you. Someway or another, you want to be free to be what you are.
[] Cure: You hate this, this life, your diet, these urges, the hiding. You want to be free entirely of your ghoul nature, you want to eat cake without nearly dying. Ghouls aren't that far removed from humans so a cure might be possible right?
[] Reach for the Top: You want to reach the top of your field, be the best neurosurgeon in the country, help send a man to mars, be elected president, something. College is just the first stop on a long and ambitious road for you.
[] The Ultimate Meal: Unknown to Your Mother or anyone really. You quite enjoy your diet, but it's grown bland as of late. You want to try something more, sample the greatest humanity has to offer.
[]Repayment:Your mother took great pains to keep you safe and happy, and that's something you took to heart. Though you're a ghoul, somehow she's willing to take on that burden and so you've learned to accept that this is your life. It's difficult, but as a ghoul, you're going to keep out of notice, take pains to live a life worth living, and leave a positive impact on the world as to properly use up the life you've been given.
[]Write in

Perks
(One Free, Additional Perks require one drawback for each perk)

[]Circle of Friends (You have five or six people you could call good friends. Though unaware of your true nature they are close to you and are more than willing to help out or do a favor once and a while)
[] Small Appetite (Most Ghouls need to eat a large meal at least once a month, you can go twice that.)
[] Charm (You have a way with words. +5 to Persuade rolls)
[] Intelligent (You've always been one of the brightest kids in Class. +5 to intelligence rolls)
[] Average Face (You have a pretty normal appearance, you don't stand out in a crowd. For a Ghoul, that can be very advantageous in the right situation)
[]Trained Kagune (While you've never fought before, mom would never allow. However over the years you've done everything to can to learn how to fight, even trained secretly a bit with your Kagune. +5 combat rolls)
[]Friend on the Force (A family friend works on the police force. It wouldn't be too hard to find out about the latest tactics and equipment they're using against ghouls.)
[] Internal Compass (It's incredibly hard for you to become lost.)
[]Write in

Drawbacks
[]Clumsy (You're not the most coordinated person on earth.)
[] Loner (Outside of your mother, there's no one close to you in your life. No friends. Incompatible with Circle of Friends
[] Big Eater (Most Ghouls only need a large meal once a month, you can maybe go half of that. And you handle starvation very very poorly. Incompatible with Small Appetite.)
[]Noticeable (Maybe you're on the tall side, maybe one eye is different then the other. Whatever the reason, people notice you when they see you and they tend to remember you. This can be problematic for a ghoul.
[] Weak Kagune (You've never seen a Kagune other than your own, but you can tell yours isn't exactly strong. You could probably make it stronger but you don't exactly have the means to do that. -5 to combat rolls)
[] Socially Awkward (You're kind of a dork. -5 to Persuade Rolls)
[] Enemy of your Mother (Unknown to you, your mother has pissed off a local ghoul. This may prove problematic in the future)
[] Rage issues (Regardless of your normal demeanor, you have anger problems. Normally you keep it under control, but sometimes it slips away from you. You've never hurt anyone because of it, but you've come close)
[]Write in.

Medium difficulty please

[X]Doctor (You're following in your mother's footsteps)

A Doctor know how the human body work, Ghoul may have an extra organ but they are still human, if you know how to fix something, then you can also take it apart. Fear the medic

[X]Sanguine: Confident, and Optimistic. Prone to flights of whimsy.

SV have the attention span of a goldfish, whimsy is an understatement

[X] The Ultimate Meal: Unknown to Your Mother or anyone really. You quite enjoy your diet, but it's grown bland as of late. You want to try something more, sample the greatest humanity has to offer.

[X]Trained Kagune (While you've never fought before, mom would never allow. However over the years you've done everything to can to learn how to fight, even trained secretly a bit with your Kagune. +5 combat rolls)

Sooner or later, we're going to have to fight, i rather we know how to use our tentacle then not

[X] Small Appetite (Most Ghouls need to eat a large meal at least once a month, you can go twice that.)

not having to go out and eat alot is a plus, also it help dear mom out, she don't have to go out and get food for us that often

[X] Socially Awkward (You're kind of a dork. -5 to Persuade Rolls)

what wrong with being a dork

You will tear into the very black heart that festers in your city and cure it. You want a solution to be found where everyone can live without fear if neing hunted. Damn anyone who will stop you.

I find the dichtonomy between a generally popular, charismatic student who has a fair amount of social capital (Parent is a doctor, plans to be a doctor themselves) and a ghoul with a morbid appetite, who is angry all of the time because they hate the hunger they constantly feel, who maybe even hates themselves and what they are a bit, to be delightful.

Pittsburgh gives us a relatively low chance to get stomped by anti-ghoul stormtroopers, and it gives us plenty of 'Test Subjects' for our ultimate goal- And, it also gives a decent opportunity to resort to cannibalism and grow more powerful if that becomes necessary.
Big Eater isn't too important given our background basically gives us access to all the food we need, and if we slip up, well, it'll just be part of the broader swathe of ghoul crime, and our average appearance will make it hard to link to us personally.
Rage issues are counteracted by a large social group and generally charismatic personality, IMO.

I was looking over the plans; Did one or two people (not naming names) miss that we get one free perk, and then every additional perk requires a balancing disadvantage?

IE, it's 1/0, 2/1, 3/2, NOT 1/1, 2/2, etc.

"I didn't. Thankfully, they build upon our character rather than install conflicting traits.

Its a shame I took so long putting it together."
