You're allergic to garlic, and disgusted by crucifixes. You sunburn easily. The amount of myoglobin in small, infrequent portions of meat is enough to sustain you as long as you maintain an otherwise healthy diet. You'll live an unnaturally long life: 125. Crossing the threshold of a sanctuary/cathedral/etc gives you a panic attack. Holy water grosses you out. You can't turn into a bat, but you get along well with them. You have a natural talent for aeronautics. People find you mildly charismatic. You can't enter a person's home without an invitation. There isn't an invisible force holding you back, you just find it unconscionable.

Edit: spelling

Inspired by the movie: The Dead Zone

It doesn't work for either of you if the other person is aware of the curse.

Shout out to: The Brass Teapot.

This one is mild(er) than that story, because physical harm doesn't work.

It doesn't happen under scrutiny like measurement, or night vision camera observation.

No amount of mixing will save you.

For fun, pair with something always happening to make you leave just a little later than you needed to in order to get to wherever you’re going on time.

Every person affected by this curse will once during their lifetime have an onion fall and hit the top of their head. It will happen at the most inconvenient time possible, such as:

  • While driving to the interview for your dream job stressed out and late in heavy traffic.
  • While leaning in to kiss your crush after a surprisingly successful date.
  • While giving birth to the next generation of onion targets.
