Special guest Bree Despain of the Dark Divine trilogy\xa0joins us for a 'cast on character quirks.
\n
\nA character quirk, avoiding the tautological definition, is something that makes your character memorable. We talk about good quirks, bad quirks, and how to tell the difference. We also laugh a lot because it was late and we were punchy.
\n
\nWe also discuss ways in which stereotype-breaking quirks can be employed without delivering humor, and reasons why we might do this.

\nWriting Prompt: A physical attribute that in some way influences the character's religion
