radiantfractureThinking about a thing and looking for some quasi-randomized ideas, if you need a distraction.
What's an interesting weakness for a character in an RPG to have -- interesting for you to play?
Say a mostly-mundane-world RPG like Ten Candles, where the threat may be numinous or chthonic but the people are solidly midgardian.*
Weakness we can define in the 10C way as "a quality that harms your life more than it helps it," which doesn't mean it couldn't prove useful in a sudden surge of dramatic irony.

*That said, I can also see how supernatural and/or divine powers and flaws could be fun in such a setting, especially if concealed at first, so, you know, fill your boots.
**You can tell I'm posting from work because I have easy access to curly brackets.
