Character Traits

Traits determine a character's efficiency in the game. Characters can change traits depending on certain gameplay events. When creating a character, players have the option to choose one positive trait (traits do change character stats). After creation, each character is randomly assigned a negative trait as well.

A good tactic is to keep restarting your save, until you get the desired/preferred negative traits (which you can turn into positive traits) on your characters. Also, if you allow the trauma bar to be completely filled on a character, any positive trait will be changed to the negative version (Proactive turns into Lazy, and so on).

Tips

 * Courageous generally goes well with the "Troubled" & "Violent" stat sets.
 * Proactive generally goes well with the "Street Smart" stat set.
 * Hands-on generally goes well with the "Athletic" stat set.
 * Optimistic is good to have late game but early on serves little to no purpose.
 * Resourceful is good to have late game but early on serves little to no purpose.
