 ====== Quirks ====== ====== Quirks ======
 +Quirks define your interactions as a player with the world of Transference on a mechanical level. As Transference is a mechanics-light game that revolves primarily around uptime, the Quirks system is also light and strives mostly to provide a 'core' around which players can build out their characters.
  
-The main purpose of quirks in Transference is to aid character building -- they won’t have as much of a direct impact on gameplay as in other society games.  +Quirks in transference fall into two categories:  
-__Insert how the quirks work.__ +  * Playstyle quirks, which affect your character's experience with the world in an out-of-character way, in essence defining the ways in which the GM team will interact with your character. You can take as many of these as you like. 
-For details, please see [[quirks|Quirks]].+  * Gameplay quirks, which represent some in-character characteristic. These are more to aid character building than to define gameplay, so don't worry too much about these. You can take **one** core quirk and as many non-core quirks as you like, provided the total of all of your gameplay quirks is **no greater than 1**.
