Yeah, most of the quirky characters I've been and seen have their
"personal" life and "professional" life delineated; When they are on
a job, they try very hard to maintain a professional attitude. Sometimes
the quirks slip through, but they don't dominate the game. This actually
in itself makes for good roleplaying.... if your character hates Elves
more than just about anything else, and yet HAS to be polite to this
ELven Johnson because otherwise he's not going to get the nuyen to make
his payments, and so he's gritting his teeth trying to be nice; that's
fun roleplaying. IMHO.
