-**Character Quirks work a little differently in //Scoop!// than in some past games.** In //Scoop!//, character Quirks will be primarily mechanical, having an impact on your character's abilities and methods for journalistic research. Outcomes for such research will be determined by a GM-side dice roll, and relevant Quirks will provide a boost or setback to that roll. For more information, please see [[downtime_and_turnsheets|Downtime and Turnsheets]]. +In //Scoop!//, character Quirks will be primarily mechanical, having an impact on your character's abilities and methods for journalistic research.

 These are the Quirks that define your character, and which will make a mechanical difference to how your character interacts with the world. Character Quirks (where relevant) will have an impact on your chances of success or failure in Turnsheets. You may choose up to 3 character Quirks, but they must add up to no more than +1 (although you're welcome to go as low as -3 if you really want to!). Unless otherwise stated, each Quirk may only be taken once. These are the Quirks that define your character, and which will make a mechanical difference to how your character interacts with the world.

-As a journalist, you get to know people. And maybe there's one specific person who likes to drop a useful secret from time to time. Tell us who, what their area of expertise is, and why they're willing to share information with you. Going beyond the Relationship Quirk, this Quirk provides a particularly useful and well-informed ally, although they are only an expert in a particular field. **This Quirk may be taken multiple times**, and may be taken either with the NPCs already on the GMs page or with a player-created NPC, as long as that character does not work for the newspaper --- please tell us who!+As a journalist, you get to know people.
