Drawbacks

Cybernetics
Cybernetics are common in the Galaxy. Except in very rare – and often highly illegal – circumstances, cybernetics simply duplicate the function of a lost limb or organ. You have had to have replacements made to your body. These components make you susceptible to the effects of the Ion Weapon Quality. It is common for Force Users to take a -1D Flaw to one of the Force Specialties in addition to taking this Flaw... but it is not required.

Fallen to Darkness
Your character has succumbed to the twisted influence of the Dark Side. While it may possess many seductive qualities, the Dark Side demands a heavy toll of its users. Whenever you Test Endurance to recover from injuries or wounds, you subtract a Modifier equal to the number of Dark Side Points you possess. You may negate this penalty by increasing your Characters Age by one step and applying the effects as if your character were actually that old.
In addition, the Storyteller may call for you to Test Will (Dedication) against a Difficulty determined by the number of Dark Side Points you possess (1 Point is an Easy (3), 2 a Routine (6)...ect). If you fail this Test, the Storyteller immediately dictates a temporary Goal for your character, one that acts out your Virtue (which has been replaced with your Vice). Cruel Characters may indulge torture, Wrathful Characters may lash out and kill a subordinate, Licentious Characters may engage in rape, ect... after your Character has indulged the Dark Sides influence the compulsion fades.

Ritualist
While you are a trained Force User, your Tradition practiced their Force Powers through superstition and archaic rites. Anytime you activate your Force Powers you resolve the activation as an Extended Test with a minimum of 15 minutes per roll.

Untrained
While you are Force Sensitive, you lack the basic training in the mysteries of the Force. Because of this, your character must spend a Force Point to activate the Persistent Effect of a Force Powers.
