Obsessed

This flaw indicates that a character is obsessed with a particular person, place, or thing, which is known as the trigger for the flaw. An Obsessed character may forget what he’s doing or turn his attention to the object of his obsession even in the middle of a tense situation. The player and the Gamemaster need to decide on a trigger when this flaw is selected. The trigger should somehow be tied to the character’s background or personality. For example, a scientist might be obsessed with exotic insects, or an engineer with new and interesting technology. Less cerebral characters might be Obsessed with another character, a fast vehicle, or a type of food.
