I tried to impress one player with the need to have vague references in his hero's description, and he rose to the challenge with "His Urgothic skill is unplumbed."

A few others:

Bad Wind Spit
Secret Knife (that one's on the Issaries site in Dushi Kinstraid's sheet) Gigantic Penis (trickster earned that on a HQ) Love Everyone (same deal, but "earned" may be the wrong term) Smell the Poor and I Dare You (powers granted by the guardian spirit of the Fine Fellows Gang)
Speaks only through Sock Puppets (that trickster again) Flatulence (which an Issaries earned in a weird green age ceremony, but gave away in the same event.)

And currently, one new player has joined the Pavis game with a back story of having been rescued from a Thanatari prison after having most of his mind consumed. So he has:
KEYWORD insane, which includes things like Talk to Rocks, Twitch for Hours, Easy to Overlook and Eat Horrible Food.

A relationship to his dead brother and
Horrifying Ritual Scars on Head.

Last, he has a whole "Forgotten Past" section that I'm going to make him spend HP on even though he doesn't know what it is. This prevents him from progressing in skills to the great revelation that his past only includes target numbers of 17 and lower.
