One of my characters is "cursed" permanently, too - because "curse", in his case, is actually just a word for "was badly messed up by a spell a voidsent cast on him and it's permanent now". It's not that there's an ongoing spell dampening something or preventing him from accessing it - it's gone.
So I guess that's one aspect to think about? Is this something that can be fixed - is this curse locking something away (but locks can be picked), or squashing it down (but weights can be removed)? Or is the thing just gone, no longer in existence, and never to be returned? (This doesn't mean, ofc, that you couldn't have a storyline where they try to lift the curse anyway - but the original goal of said storyline will be doomed to failure, and the storyline's resolution will be in personal acceptance of the curse's effects.)
As for the effects of the curse, I think D&D discussions are going to be your friend here, because they usually have a bunch of interesting and creative ideas:
• Bestow Curse - Alternative curse ideas? [3.5e]
• Any curse ideas?
• Bestow Curse ideas!
