EDIT 2/14/09: Merits and Flaws should now be complete. There might be a few typos to fix but I can't think of anything else I want to add at this time. Backgrounds should also be done as detail has been added to Technique Mastery and Technique Confidence as well as some limits put on vampiric disciplines.
-----------------------
When I started working on merits and flaws for Street Fighter I began by looking through other White Wolf games. After that I started looking through entries for Legends of the Five Rings. Now I've progressed to just writing down whatever crazy new things pop into my head. I blame derangements - as in trying to make sure the Derangement list had everything that could possibly pop up. Here are some of the newer entries and a few quick thoughts about them:
Weak Constitution: tend to be sickly and prone to infections, Stamina considered 1 less (minimum 1) to resist poison and disease
Gossip: very hard to keep secrets, enjoy spreading stories and seeing the reactions on people's faces
Matchmaker: can't help but pair up people - even imaginary ones - and will vehemently defend these pairings
Major Allergy: a life threatening allergy, Ack! Peanuts!
Superstituous: look for supernatural explanation to everything that happens and "celestial patterns"
Stolen Life: seemingly erased from memory, victim of identity theft, or deliberately mislead about important part of their identify [multiple tiers], generally traced back to Shadoloo's activities
Gaslighting Victim: target of attempt to drive the character off the deep end that wasn't totally successful
Wanted: warrant out for the character's arrest
Hypochondriac: obsessive about health and staying clean to the point of imparing social activities
Ok, I admit it, a Hypochondriac would be absolutely hilarious in Street Fighter. That's not exactly a setting where you expect characters to suddenly whip out antibacterial wipes for every little cut.
