From Flexible Survival

Merit | Description | Perk Points | XP Cost after chargen | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Abnormal Breeder | You can carry Children in unusualways. When not equipped with a standard vagina, you are assumed to have a 6 one anyways. Allowing you to be bred even if Neuter or Male.at the time. | 2 | 20 | |||
Advanced Inoculation | Most people just get the basic one, that prevents insanity and identity loss. Not for you! You are immune to casual battle infection, nor do you mutate when you submit. Also, your 'NaniteCollection' status is considered one higher, allowing you to collect builder nanites effectively naked, and infection nanites with even a low powered collector. | 7 | 70 | |||
All In | You run into far less traps during patrol puzzles, but the first one you hit will always end the game, no matter what other merits or skills you may have. | 2 | 20 | |||
Always Be Prepared | You believe in always being prepared. Increase loadout capacity by 20(normally 100). Does not stack with itself. | 6 | 60 | |||
Always Female | You can't cease to be female. You will always have at least one vagina of four inches depth. | 2 | 20 | |||
Always Male | You can't cease to be male. You will always have at least one cock of four inches length. | 2 | 20 | |||
Animal Husband | When feeding racers, they will always gain the benefit of the food. | 2 | 20 | |||
Animal Lust | You go into heat, male heat, otherwise known as rut. so long as you have a penis there is a chance you could suddenly go into deep rut. while in rut your balls become more dense, you become mildly more fertile, and seek the 'company' of any fertile female you can find. Impregnating a female has a chance of ending rut. Rut may end on it's own, or deepen, if not satisfied. If you have female parts while in rut they will also become more fertile. | 2 | 20 | |||
Baby Machine so what if you just gave birth? Your body knows what it wants. The normal one-week period of infertility following childbirthis cut in hald, to three and a half days. You might even consider looking into merits like fertile, and possibly pure breed, too. | 5 | 50 | ||||
Big boned It's a medical condition alright? Sheesh. You can grow larger than other Zephyr agents. The usual hard put on body mass is removed for you. | 10 | 100 | ||||
Blood Thirsty | Salvage? Freecred? Bah! Those don't scream and bleed at ALL. You're interested in a little bit of the ultra-violence, and it shows! When you go patrolling, your chances of finding a non-combat encounter are halved. Go get 'em! | 4 | 40 | |||
Born Female | You are, at least to start, equipped as a woman. | 0 | n/a | |||
Born Leader | The 30% haste debuff when you have a pet or child fighting alongside you is cut in half, to 15%. | 10 | 100 | |||
Born Male | You are, at least to start, equipped as a man. | 0 | n/a | |||
Breadth Of Experience | Most people settle into one, maybe two jobs in their life and call it a day. Not you! You can buy one additional profession(Usually 6, now 7). Does not stack. | 5 | 50 | |||
Breast Pump | Your breasts don't like shrinking, just growing. If you want all you organs to only grow, see One Way instead. | 1 | 10 | |||
Breasts | You have breasts, or can have them. This allows breasts DESPITE male preferred. | 2 | 20 | |||
Charismatic | Your dazzling leadership has your mercenaries almost begging to follow you, or at least gives you a 25% discount on their services. | 4 | 40 | |||
Chubby You're a bit heavy set for your height for your height | 2 | 20 | Cold Immune | You require no heat to sustain your function. Arctic regions are a snap. Cold attacks still harm you. | 2 | 20 |
Connected | You are especially connected with the little people. When buying from specialty shops (NPC shops where you list and view and buy), you get a 10% discount. | 8 | 80 | |||
Conservative Miner | When drawing salvage from a source, only 2/3rds the resources you gain are actually deducted from the source, making it last longer. | 3 | 30 | |||
Constant Pleasure | You are such a little horn-bag! You will attain horniness faster than normal, the minimum amount being 10/tick rather than 3. | 2 | 20 | |||
Cyclic Heat | Normally, whenever you're not pregnant or recently-so, you're fertile and in heat. Makes it hard to focus when you're thinking about being stuffed all the time! This perk will make it so that your heat waxes and wanes, instead of being constant. With some clever timing, you can reduce your risk of pregnancy to near-zero! (For actual zero, consider the Sterile perk.) | 2 | 20 | |||
Depths Of Love | With all these horses running around, someone has to be able to take on the job. That someone is you! With this, your female bits can stretch onwards past eighteen inches of depth, allowing you to be a true dragon's bride. | 2 | 20 | |||
Desperately Horny | You are subject to the horniness system, even if you have the sterile perk. | 1 | 10 | |||
Dimensionally Touched | Some time after P-day you got touched by the power of a supernatural entity. Maybe it was the mighty Solar Dragon, or maybe just a minor entity, too weak to have its focus in this world. Still you heard their whispers and this affected your mind. A character with this merit doesn't gain any special power, no fireball, no mind reading nor levitation (check for exiting powers or nanomagic for that). | 4 | 40 | |||
Direct Negotiator | You don't beat around the bush when it comes to social situations. Your chances of running into social puzzles is drastically reduced. | 2 | 20 | |||
Doesn't Breathe | That's right, you can actually turn off the need to breathe! This does not give immunity to pressure effects (deep sea or deep space). (Really helps with oral, too. Just sayin'.) | 2 | 20 | |||
Easily Medicated | Aspirin feels like anesthetic to you, and caffeine feels like jet fuel! Any effect that heals you, whether it's regeneration or healing/curing powers, will give you more health back. It even scales with you; the stronger you get, the bigger the boost! | 5 | 50 | |||
Efficient Tinkering | When you make an item, it costs 20% less freecreds. | 5 | 50 | |||
Energetic | Fighting, using powers, all of it really takes it out of you. You only have 100 points of energy, after all...unless you buy this perk and snag an extra 5! | 4 | 40 | |||
Expert Angler | 50% chance to avoid catching fish too small or too large for your current pole. | 3 | 30 | |||
Expert Navigator | You regain Patrol points much faster than normal | 6 | 60 | |||
Explosive Start | Your genitalia start off slightly larger | 2 | 20 | |||
Fast Recovery | Out of combat you recover health and energy faster | 5 | 50 | |||
Fell Off The Truck | You're good at getting discounts, at least when it comes to Zephyr Corp and similar big boys. When buying things from the global shops (list items), you get 10% off! | 5 | 50 | |||
Female Preferred | You resist male mutations. You may have even started male (if you take born male) but you will never become more male due to mutations, and are likely doomed to become and remain a woman. | 3 | 30 | |||
Feminine | You appear female at a glance. Your pronouns and +glance will show you as female. | 1 | 10 | |||

Firing Blanks | You cannot get a woman pregnant | 2 | 20 | |||
Flat Chest | You don't grow breasts. Well, nipples, maybe, but never more than that. You are doomed to never feel the joy(?) of a bra. | 2 | 20 | |||
Flight | You possess some internal ability to move through air and space. It could be magic, it could be a build in rocket pack, whatever it is, you can get around. Does not grant immunity to vacuum | 4 | 40 | |||
Giant | You are 30% larger than your species normal size. | 4 | 40 | |||

Heat Immune | Heat does not bother you. While fire based attacks will still harm you, environmental heat will not. Jungle planets, volcanic planets, no sweat for you. Passive fires(not being wielded as a weapon) also deal no damage to you. Warning: The sun can still melt you. Don't push it. | 2 | 20 | |||
Heavy Breasted | Your mammary flesh knows no bounds! This allows you to have breasts above H cup, and you don't even have back pain! | 2 | 20 | |||
Helpful | You can assist in web combats anywhere, as long as you are logged in. | 5 | 50 | |||
Herm Preferred | You can never lose your last cock or cunt. | 2 | 20 | |||

Male Preferred | You resist Female mutations. You may have even been born female (if you take born female) but you will never become more female due to mutations and are likely doomed to become and remain a man. | 3 | 30 | |||
