-Traits are the keywords on character cards and generated characters that describe a [[characters|character]]'​s noteworthy features (i.e. those that affect the game). ​ Some traits denote ​unusually ​good or bad [[character-profile-skills|skills]] -- remembering that EXODE skills run the gamut from traditional skills to innate abilities and attributes -- and are backed by numeric scores. ​Other traits (e.g. [[character-profile-background|backgrounds]],​ [[factions|factions]],​ etc.) require and have no additional information behind them.+Traits are the keywords on character cards and generated characters that describe a [[characters|character]]'​s noteworthy features (i.e. those that affect the game). ​ Some traits denote ​particularly ​good or bad [[character-profile-skills|skills]] -- remembering that EXODE skills run the gamut from traditional ​academic ​skills to innate abilities and attributes -- and are backed by numeric scores. ​Some non-skill ​traits (e.g. [[character-profile-background|backgrounds]],​ [[factions|factions]], ​[[character-profile-personality|personality]] ​etc.) are chosen from a list and require and have no additional information behind them.  Other particularly important non-skill traits that appear or don't appear include Officer, Veteran, Versatile and Faction Leader.

 +If a character or item has a trait that "​Grants"​ a skill, it really does grant the minor version of the skill. ​ The trait "​Inspires"​ gives half the bonus of the minor skill. ​ if for any reason, you have more than one bonus in a skill: additional major bonuses give +20 and additional minor bonuses give +15. 
 + 
 +Academic skills only have traits if a character is particularly good at them and the trait is the same as the skill name.  Individual skills (both physical and psychological) and social skills can create both positive and negative traits as listed below.
