Tics are OBVIOUS AND RECOGNIZABLE BEHAVIORS OR CONDITIONS that seldom, if ever, directly affect game play.

Why have them???  They earn you Perversity Points by using them.  (Examples:  humming absently, twiddling thumbs, twitching when anyone mentions "the sewers."  Maybe you got your tic from working at the service firm, maybe you got that odd rash from working with enriched uranium at the power services reactor.  And that faintly glowing hair?)

A tic is not a secret.  Anyone observes it, but it doesn't inhibit your ability to do anything.

One tic has been chosen from you (although I will be amenable to changing it if you want).

You get to CHOOSE (yes, you do, really you do!) the second one.

You typically get perversity points for creative use of the tic.  Posting every time that you twiddle your thumbs may earn you occasional points, but doing so in an interesting roleplaying way will definitely earn them.
