Geek

Value
Frequently, Minor: 10 Points
Description
Essentially, a character with this Complication is a Nerd on overdrive. Where a Nerd is merely uncool and unpopular, a Geek is seen as odd or bizarre (and ironically, he's seen as bizarre for usually the very same reasons a Nerd is merely seen as uncool). However, unlike Nerds, Geeks are usually either happy with their social-outcast status, or are totally oblivious to it. This is usually because they have their likes and dislikes and don't really care what others think.
(In the words of Corey Sudol, a friend of the compiler and a huge Geek himself, "if the mundanes don't have the intellectual capacity to struggle with the problem of whether or not the Enterprise could defeat a Star Destroyer in ship-to-ship combat, all other things being equal, that's their problem not mine.")
This Complication is generally more severe for a Minor who is still in school, or an adult in situations of constant, mandatory socialization (careers such as sales or teaching), than it is for most characters.
