Drawbacks

Accursed -- 1 point

Body Double
You have an evil twin (or look-alike) out there, related to your career somehow.
Dependent (Joseph)
Joseph is a possible target; someone who needs to be protected.
Flashbacks -- Mild -- 1
When meeting stimulus, encounter fear at -2 and suffer its effects.
Honorable -- Serious
Do not lie, betray, etc -- to anyone. Do your best to keep any promises and do not willingly betray trust. (May be reluctant to give word in the first place.) Cheating, ambushing, taking an unarmed but known problematic person are okay.
Obligation (Army Vet) -- Serious
You're expected to risk your life for the organization if requested.
Psychological Problems (Zealot) -- Serious
This problem affects your daily life and anyone who knows you at least suspects it. A willpower check at -2 might be attempted to resist it.
You have a belief so strong that it dominates your life and behavior. You're willing to sacrifice things or even break laws in order to uphold that ideal. (Belief: Doing good/saving people/???.)
Sleep Problems (Recurring Nightmares)
Your sleep is plagued by terrifying dreams. Any given night in which they do occur (GM determination), you wake with 1d4 fewer endurance pints and are not well rested.
