Flaw = Complication, Trouble, Setback.
Maybe focus on it as something that gets in your way that you must deal with rather than as something wrong with you?

Alternately, maybe don't use stuff like Deaf in any kind of mechanical sense, and instead leave that in the realm of things a player can choose to have for their character. You don't have a flaw for only having one eye, or missing a limb do you?

I don't have a list of flaws at all. They are chosen by the player. I'm just making a pre-gen.

Trouble... Would "Trouble: Deaf" still be offensive? I think it might, based on my experiences with deaf people (I've been learning ASL for a few years now).

Essentially, I'm looking for a short punchy word that encapsulates the idea of "a source of complications"

In that case, I think Setback might be a good option for you.

So I need some help here. I'm looking to see what good narrative driven mecha rpg's there are. And since that particular word soup is rather thick, ill say i also need any Mech RPG.

Theres a little conspiracy of maybe our group doing a second run of a really awesome mech campaign one of us ran, and we kinda need a new system. We ran in FATE Accelerated at the time, which was well, just a tad TOO rules light.

So any insight as to whats out there would be great.

EDIT: Sigh, search function i hate you. Didnt notice the other chat threads couldnt figure out where to post .....

I don't now of any specific mecha systems that'd work, but one thing to consider, you might go with dual systems. Run everything "outside the mechs" in FAE like you've been doing, and then "other system" for your giant robot punchmans battles.
