Listed below is the full, organized list of any and all Character, Weapon, Item, and Special traits that have been approved for use thus far. Those in blue lettering are unreserved and able to be taken by anyone, and those in red lettering are reserved, and limited to the character in question. Character Traits are those that augment a character in some way, shape or form. Weapon Traits are those that augment a weapon, similarly to how Character Traits work. Item Traits are those that are applied to items in order to give those created items their own unique effects. Special Traits are those that either don't fall into any of the categories above, or are exponentially powerful traits, such as Kakuja and Kakuja Quinque Traits. As might've been noticed, a few Traits have key words or phrases within their descriptions. These mean a few things for those abilities, depending on what words are there. On a somewhat similar note, each Trait is categorized based off of the Trait's type, its Rank, and its Subcategory. Character Traits, Weapon Traits, Item Traits, and Special Traits all have different Subcategories, so pay attention to which is which! { Keywords} - [Requires "XXXX"] - These Traits require the Trait listed in brackets. Without taking that Trait first, this one cannot be taken.
- [Upgrades from "XXXX"] - These Traits are direct upgrades of the ones listed in the brackets. The Trait listed in brackets is required to take the one in question, and serves as a direct mechanical upgrade of the one in brackets. Only Minor Traits can be Upgraded into Major Traits.
- [Evolves from "XXXX"] - Similar to upgrades, these Traits are a step up from the Trait in brackets, without only being a numeric advantage. Traits with the Evolve keyword maintain any benefits from its prerequisite, in addition to the new effects. Only Minor Traits can be Evolved into Major Traits.
- [Branches from "XXXX"] - Instead of being just an upgrade, Traits with the Branching keyword are separate paths that a Trait might become. Similar to Evolve, these maintain the benefits of the prerequisite Trait in brackets, but are mutually exclusive with any other Traits that share that specific prerequisite.
Minor Character Traits { Social Traits} - Botany - A character with this Trait has longstanding time spent around plants and studying them, and has since gained a moderate level of knowledge regarding how to use them. This can include making items from them such as but not limited to: Poisons, Salves, Minor drugs, etc.
- Silver Tongue - A character with this Trait has spent a long amount of time and effort learning how to barter and persuade people. Because of this, they have gained a moderate level of knowledge in conversing and leading a conversation. Due to this, whenever they buy something, they are able to get it at a 5% discount price which stacks the more items they buy at once but cannot exceed a 25% discount. (This trait does not stack with other price reductions.)
- Penny Pincher - Life's tough when you have to support yourself. Though Dorian has a "master" any sense of support and helping him survive is non-existent. Dorian has always had to take care of himself, thus he's surprisingly good with his money and where he invests it. Due to this at the end of every thread Dorian is apart of he gains a 10% bonus to money earned. This stacks with social benefits but cannot exceed 100%.
- Tactician - Thanks to Jack's connection with those that are a part of any Faction or Organization he may be part of, this allows him to understand them and show them how to work together better while battling. Anyone a part of his faction or Organization gains an immediate C-Ranked social benefit while in battle.
{ Combat Traits} - Sensory Specialist - A Character with this Trait has taken the time to hone their senses to an extraordinary level, allowing them to hear and distinguish the differences between all sounds within fifty feet of them, so long as they take the time to actively concentrate on these sounds and nothing else.
- Durable - A Character with this Trait is more durable than the average ghoul or human they would be compared to. While most characters can sustain up to their Resilience + 1 C-Rank wound before dying/passing out, this character now requires Resilience + 1 B-Rank wound before dying/passing out.
- Agile Movement - A Character with this Trait person can run along walls for short distances and dance or jump around obstacles with ease. This is due to long training by running from pursuers and can be quite useful when avoiding attacks. This Character is able to comfortably Dodge an additional attack every other post, without exerting Stamina to do so.
- Immense Strength - Characters with this trait are stronger than the average ghoul or human they would be compared to. When they deal damage utilizing their Strength, they inflict an additional C-Rank wound to their target.

- Cryotherapy - A character with this trait has spent a long time learning from ice and studying it. Attacks utilizing ice inflict an additional C-Rank Wound to their target.
- Accurate - A Character with this Trait is quite good at finding their mark. This Character can use Aim, minus two, in place of Speed for calculating how many melee attacks can be comfortably made per post. All other applications of Speed remain the same.
- Fleet Footed - Years of dexterity and nimbleness defined you. You possess a supernatural agility even among your peers. When scaling vertical distances, treat your Speed as one rank lower, to a minimum of C-Rank. Additionally, when falling from a great height, rolling upon hitting the ground absorbs the force of the impact. Reduce injuries sustained from falling by one Rank. If this would reduce the rank of the injuries below C-Rank, you suffer none.
- Electrophoretic - As your Kagune has adapted to conduct the fury of nature, electricity, so has your body adapted to its energy. When struck by electricity of any kind, the body disperses the current thereby mitigating its effects. Wounds suffered from electricity are reduced by one Rank and paralysis induced by electricity is negated.
- Perfect Vision - Training from a young age to never let her guard down, Shioon is able to process all visual information easily even during combat. Even peripheral vision is clear instead of slightly blurred or unfocused giving her eyesight a range of clarity that enables her a wider range of awareness.
{ Miscellaneous Traits} - Craftsman - A character with this Trait has spent a long amount of time and effort with crafting and creating items. Because of this, they have gained a moderate level of knowledge regarding crafting things. Due to this, whenever they craft something, they are able to create it at a 5% discount price which stacks the more items they craft at once but cannot exceed a 25% discount. (This trait does not stack with other price reductions.)
- Lucky - [Requires A-Rank Presence] A Character with this Trait is fairly lucky; so much so to where they can reliably bank on something going their way. Once per thread, when you would normally fail a Clash, succeed on that Clash instead.
- Saboteur - A character with this Trait has longstanding time spent around explosives and studying them, and has since gained a moderate level of knowledge regarding how to use them. This can include making items that have an explosive nature such as: Grenades, Flashbangs, Mines, etc. Items up to A-Rank can be created.

Minor Weapon Traits { Modification Traits} - Detachable - A Weapon with this Trait is able to be detached from the character, and wielded separately from the weapon itself.
- Serrated - A Weapon with this Trait is serrated, and is able to inflict bleeding wounds on a target. When hit from this weapon, a target suffers one C-Rank wound every post, for three posts.
- Simple Element - A Weapon with this Trait is able to produce simple effects based on raw elements; producing small fires through superheating RC cells, heavily clumping RC cells together in order to produce a small electrical current, etc. This trait can inflict wounds based on the user's Potency, minus two, to a minimum of C-Rank.
- Numerous - A Weapon with this Trait is able to produce an additional copy of itself, or an additional Kagune/blade of a similar shape. Ukaku, Koukaku, and Bikaku gain one additional Kagune/blade, while Rinkaku gains two. These additional Kagune/blades don't provide any statistical benefits, and simply function as an additional Kagune/blade with the same statistics and traits.
- Prehensile - A Weapon with this Trait is able to easily grab onto targets, as well as pick things up with ease.
- Lengthy - A weapon with this trait is longer than normal, extending the range of the weapon by an additional 50% of the original range.

Major Weapon Traits { Modification Traits} - Remotely Activated - [Evolves from "Detachable"] A weapon with this Trait possesses an ability that can be activated at-will, when detached from the weapon itself.
- Heavily Serrated - [Upgrades from "Serrated"] A weapon with this Trait is heavily serrated, and is able to inflict grievous wounds on a target. When hit from this weapon, a target suffers one B-Rank wound every post, for three posts.
- Grappler - [Evolves from "Prehensile"] A weapon with this Trait is especially skilled when it comes to grappling onto objects or people. When grappling onto something, this character's grip cannot be broken unless the person trying to possesses a superior Strength.
- Advanced Element - [Evolves from "Simple Element"] A weapon with this Trait is able to produce significant elemental effects based on raw elements; producing significant amounts of fire through superheating RC cells, heavily clumping RC cells together in order to produce a lightning-like bolt, etc. This trait can inflict wounds based on the user's Potency, minus one, to a minimum of C-Rank.
- Exponential - [Upgrades from "Numerous"] A weapon with this Trait is able to produce two additional copies of itself, or an additional two Kagune/blades of a similar shape. Ukaku, Koukaku, and Bikaku gain two additional Kagune/blade, while Rinkaku gain four. These additional Kagune/blades don't provide any statistical benefits, and simply function as an additional Kagune/blade with the same statistics and traits.
- Lucid Nightmare - Courtesy of the former ghouls preference for underhanded tactics this weapon is able to generate a poison so long as the weapon is active. This poison coats the blade and even when the blade comes in contact with another immediately reapplies itself to the weapon. The poison induces a lucid dreamlike state where the user slowly begins to perceive the world around them in a more terrifying manner. This includes the user who starts to look more dead to the victim as more poison enters their system. At it's maximum effect the user of this weapon looks akin to a walking corpse. Meanwhile the world around them looks as though it's a warped nightmare version of reality. There are however no direct changes. (I.E. a hallway is a hallway even if it looks like it's the inside of a monsters stomach) While not mechanically impactful this is likely to scare most who see the user.
The mechanical effect of this however is to reduce the speed of a victim by 1 rank upon initial contact. Subsequent instances of contact can further reduce the victims speed but only occurs every two hits after the initial. Should the victims speed be reduced below C the victim is then paralyzed for a post. Afterwards the victim regains the ability to move but remains at C for the remainder of the thread even if they come in contact with the poison again. The user also gains the option to fire a wave of poison by thrusting or slashing. This can be done once a post however. This wave has a cutting power equal the strength of the user. The poison in the meantime functions the same.
Drawback: To counter this poison either an item that can cleanse poison or a higher potency is necessary. With regards to the latter the victim is able to cleanse the poison if their rank is higher than the rank of the user's potency - 1 rank, minimum C rank. For each cleansing the victims potency is considered 1 less than it was in the prior clash. If the victims potency grows weaker than the poison's potency the victim can no longer cleanse it by themselves. - Disperse Filth - A rather unusual ability compliments to the Ghoul who was born to hunt other Ghouls. This sword should it break through the durability of anything formed from RC cells causing the cells themselves to disperse resulting in the formation breaking apart with the appearance of black smoke. Kagune that suffer this effect can’t be reformed for the following 2 posts.
- Enhancement - A weapon with this Trait is able to produce significant beneficial effects when hitting a target with its projectile such as increasing their strength, speed, aim, or resilience. This trait can gives its target a total amount of buffs based on the user's Presence. (Rank C = 1 Buff, Rank B = 2 Buffs, etc.) The stat buffed can only be increased up to the rank of the weapon's durability and can only go up ranks based on the weapon strength. (C Rank Weapon Strength = C Rank buff, B Rank Weapon Strength = B Rank buff, etc.)
- Attachment Ready - A Quinque with this Trait has been designed around the ability to have multiple attachments put onto the weapon itself, allowing for the same Quinque to be used in multiple different ways, dependent on those that are sought to be installed on the weapon. This Quinque has a number of "Attachment Points" based on the user's Presence Rank, granting two points per rank. Every Attachment Item with a Minor Item Trait takes up one of these points to be socketed on to this Quinque, while every Attachment Item with a Major Item Trait takes up two points to socket. This is the only Trait that this Quinque can have, and the only Quinque that can be brought into a thread. At the beginning of a thread, the attachments currently on this weapon must be listed.
- Adhesive Hairs - While not the most incredible ability known to man the power of this Kagune is incredibly potent. It excretes a sticky substance onto the fine hairs that surround the legs. This in turn allows the legs to adhere to whatever they come in contact with. Walls can be climbed, the floor can be grabbed to prevent forced movement, hell even opponents and other objects can be grabbed onto. The best part of this trait however is that this adhesion property allows the user to decide when they want to release by simply stopping the adhesion. The application of this property is limited only by the creativity of the user.
How this works in terms of adhering to others or preventing the user from moving is simple. The user initiates a clash between their strength and the strength/potency (depending on what is hitting them) or forcing them to move. If the user has equal or higher strength then they do not move or are able to adhere to an object/being.
There is one glaring weakness of these adhesive hairs. The substance is incredibly susceptible to fire. Fire not only continues to burn the legs and anything in contact with them, while the user is secreting the substance, but it immediately negates the ability to hold onto anything. The only other method of getting free of these hairs is by having an outside force help pull out an individual but must have higher strength to do so.
{ Substitution Traits} - Heavy - [Upgrades from "Blunt"] A weapon with this Trait is especially adept at smashing targets, and is able to inflict wounds to a target equal to the user's Resilience Rank, minus one, to a minimum of C-Rank.
- Featherweight - [Upgrades from "Light"] A Weapon with this Trait is noticeably lighter than the what it would otherwise appear to be. When using this Weapon the user can use Strength, minus one, in place of Speed for how quickly the weapon can be used. All other applications of Speed remain the same.
- Pinpoint Lethality - [Upgrades from "Lethality"] A Weapon with this Trait has been designed to be ruthless in a fight. Attacks made with this weapon rely on the wielder's Potency Rank, minus one, to a minimum of C-Rank.
- Aerodynamic - [Upgrades from "Thrown"] A Weapon with this Trait is designed to be thrown with quite a bit of force behind it. Ranged attacks made with this weapon rely on the wielder's Strength Rank, minus one, to a minimum of C-Rank. Aim is still used to calculate the number of ranged attacks that can be made.
{ Statistical-Increase Treats} - Impregnable - [Upgrades from "Sturdy"] A Weapon with this Trait is exceptionally sturdy when compared to others. While manifested, the user's Resilience is treated as two Ranks higher than usual (on top of Kagune bonuses if applicable) for the purposes of Weapon Durability, but this weapon, under any circumstances, cannot be used for an attack.

Special Traits { Special Character Traits} - Frame-Locked - [Requires a Character to start at a Personal Rank of C-Rank, and for this trait to be taken during character creation.] An Artificial Half-Ghoul with this Trait has been limited due to the very nature of their existence, and have since had their power locked behind five sets of limiters, known as "Frames". Half-Ghouls with this trait are created with immense potential, but at a severe cost. The cost to increase this Half-Ghoul's Potency is reduced by 20%. In turn, until they obtain a Half-Kakuja (naturally not going away if they don't), making attacks with their Kagune will always cost 5 Stamina, on top of what it would already cost. Should a Half-Ghoul run out of Stamina, they will "Frame-Out". When this happens, they will become a mindless killing machine, focused solely on feeding, attacking indiscriminately toward all nearby. If a member of the CCG kills the Half-Ghoul while they're "Framed-Out", they'll receive the payout of Ryo equivalent to the pay for an S-Ranked Mission.
- Bio-Battery - Learning how to fuel her own body using electricity, if an electric current runs through Adelina's body, natural or artificial, she can turn it into an electric impulse to be used by her nervous system, gaining 3 Stamina. Adelina still receives any wounds that she would otherwise receive from the electricity.
If a foreign source of electricity doesn't exist, Adelina can instead elect to utilize the static charge produced by her Kagune. Upon releasing her Kagune, Adelina gains a # of Static Charges equal to her Potency, starting at 1 for C Rank. She may consume one of these charges to regain 3 stamina. Adelina can regain Static Charges focusing an electric current from her Kagune through her body or being struck by electricity. A Static Charge may only be consumed once per post.
Bio-Battery possesses a key weakness. To get the most out of it, Adelina has to be struck by electric-charged attacks. While she possesses a natural resistance to it, she isn't able to withstand significant punishment. Generating a single Static Charges through her own means requires Adelina to charge her body for about 5 - 6 seconds without moving in any significant manner. Finally, upon using a Static Charge or generating one herself, the electricity forms a wound equal to her Potency.
