Characters with Short Fuses are prone to take sleight at the smallest offense, and prone to disproportional violence and anger as a reaction. They have little patience, often snapping and belittling or berating those they deem having let them down. This disparagement also tends to reflect in their own self-perception, making them seem to be highly self critical, though mostly it is an outward frustration and not true anxiety. Simple challenges of games can turn into a life and death account when the temper and frustration explode in a mundane situation.
