Style Shtick
You have an almost supernatural style that surrounds you, making you look that much cooler.
Benefit: Choose a shtick, something your character always has even if there's no logical explanation for it. Your chosen shtick marks you as a badass, and people treat you accordingly. Any non-hostile creature you interact with treats you as one step friendlier (to a maximum of Friendly) during your initial interaction with them.
Drawback: Your trademark shtick makes you instantly recognizable. You take a -5 on disguise checks, and other characters gain a bonus equal to twice your HD on checks to know things about you, including such things as the spells you cast or the combat maneuvers you use.
Special: Shticks should not provide any real mechanical benefit, nor should a shtick provide the character with any kind of valuable item.
Roleplaying Ideas: Perhaps your character always has a cigarette and lighter on him even if he's naked and chained up in the dungeon. Maybe your character's hair or cloak is always blowing as if from a wind, even if there's no wind. Or perhaps your face is always shrouded in shadow, even in the middle of the street in the noonday sun or when a light is shining directly on you. Perhaps your eyes glow, or you have tattoos all over your body that only become visible on command or when you rage. Perhaps your hairstyle remains fabulous even in a hurricane. Feel free to invent your own shtick, but it should be roughly in-line with the examples mentioned previously.
