Traits represent a character's personality, abilities, reputation, and physical characteristics. They can be gained or lost through events or education and some traits can be inherited by descendants. They affect everything about a character, from attributes to the opinion others have on them. Most traits influence the outcome of certain events or grant additional options.
Personality traits
Personality traits are the traits that represent a character the most. Characters tend not to have more than 3 personality traits. A character's personality, based on the personality traits, is usually summed up in two words in the character view window.
Genetic traits
Genetic traits are inherited by a character's descendants. They have multiple levels that can be improved if both both parents have the same genetic trait. Many genetic traits have a visual effect on the character's portrait.
