*bug Subroutine scene called without label. Make sure to specify the subroutine to be called by label.

*label trait_1
You have been born with a special physique that transcends the limits of mortality and grants you a regenerative factor usually only seen in Beasts. You've never been sick for more than a few hours and don't have any scars, despite suffering quite a few cuts.

Allows you to heal Injuries without external help. Exact effect depends on [b][Vitality][/b] (from healing scratches in a day to regenerating an arm during a fight).
*return

*label trait_2
For you, Martial Arts are simply [i]easy[/i]. What takes others years to comprehend and a thousand tries to perfect, you understand after an hour of practice. Even the hardest, most difficult Martial Arts for you do not pose a challenge. And when you do use them, you manage to do so in a way much more effective than anybody else.

Cannot fail in Martial Arts Comprehension. Cost of using a Martial Art is halved. +10% Intelligence EXP.
*return

*label trait_3
Some people are just born pretty. They gather attention simply with their presence: their words not needed, when their faces speak for themselves. Such people find making friends easier and enemies — harder, than those whose appearance hasn't been blessed. 

Increases effectiveness of your Charisma. Gain +10% Charisma EXP. Unlocks special dialog options.
*return

*label trait_4
Knowing the future — is it a gift, or a curse? You hesitate to answer. On one hand — you're always prepared, never caught of guard by whatever it may be. On the other... you lack surprise. The element of unknown that makes life exciting for the normal folk. Perhaps, the only question bothering you is not of what comes after, but what has come before. Why are you able to see the future? Why do you have this prophetic power? You don't know — and most likely, never will.

Unlocks multiple options during the game to gaze into the future and gain a significant advantage.
*return

*label trait_5
Most humans are right-handed. Those who use their left hand for every day activities are a minority. And people like you? Those without a preference for a certain side? They are very, very rare. 

Allows you to learn a special martial skill.
*return

*label trait_6
You refuse to give up.  You refuse to lose. In order to win, you are more than willing to push yourself beyond the limits of your limits. Mind over flesh, will through exhaustion.

Whenever your Inner Energy reaches 0, you will immediately restore 50% of your Inner Energy in exchange for 50% of your current Health.
*return

*label trait_7
You are much more resilient against poisons than normal people. Except for the strongest and the strangest toxins, no venom would be able to harm you. 

+30% Vitality gain.
*return

*label trait_8
Your body is [i]special[/i]. You can eat whatever you want without getting sick, have a metabolism that many would envy and, perhaps most importantly, is able to consume as many pills and elixirs as are available in your possession without fearing the impurities building up in your blood.

No impurities gained from alchemical concoctions. 
*return

*label trait_9
The Heavens themselves smile at you from above: you are their favorite child, their favorite creation. Whatever endeavor you find yourself doing, the Heavens will support you whole-heartedly by tipping, just slightly, the scales in your favor.

All random rolls are maximized/always succeed. But be careful: sometimes, one can be [i]too[/i] lucky.
*return

*label trait_10
You were always good at fighting. So good, in fact, that oftentimes you do not even need to think about movement during battles — your body will dodge and evade by itself, doing its best to keep you out of harm's way.

Allows you to avoid a strike that otherwise would've hit you for 20% of your total Inner Energy Pool. However, some attacks can still hit you — be careful.
