You will not resist a challenge, no matter how stupid you have to be, to keep up your image. Someone clucking like a chicken is all it takes to get you into a suicidally risky situation. You might kill or torture someone, even though you know it’s wrong, against the law, or might mess things up later, just to make sure no-one thinks you make empty threats.
You won’t do things that your particular social group (the one that you come from, not the rest of the PCs!) perceive to be ‘sissy’ or ‘conformist’ – in some societies that might include ballroom dancing or having a haircut. You will do stuff that may be against the law/rules of ‘normal’ society because it’s the ‘rebel’ thing to do: carry a concealed gun, or refuse to cover your gang tattoos or wear ‘normal’ clothing.
There is an up-side to this disadvantage, though: you have a +2 bonus to resist Intimidation.
