Will post more later:

Sufi for mystical muslims with certain level of learning
Salafi for zealous muslims without mystical trait and part of the Ashari sect maybe

Ismaili: Sect of Shiite the Fatimids should be this
Twelver (Cant Remember the better name) Another Shiite Sect
Zaydi Shiite sect mainly for Yemen, should disable holy war against sunnis and vice versa unless zealous maybe
Alevi: Turkish Shiite Sect martial focus
Alawite: This is debateable and could be its own heresy really, Syrian sect perhaps with intrigue bonus

Athari: Additional Sunni sect
Maturidi: Additional Sunni Sect

Albinism: Albino trait that should effect graphics
Yazdanist trait for Kurdish Zoroastrians, under islamic rule these courtiers may later on becoming yazidis (just an idea)
Atheist: More extreme version of cynical perhaps should be a hidden trait like homosexual is to an extent

add the VIET traits

 

[Silly Goose]

Musician - This character has a talent for singing and playing instruments
Merchant - This character has a knack for trade and enterprise
Philosopher - This character loves debate and the pursuit of wisdom
Admiral - This character has mastered the waves and the art of naval combat (Paradox plz)
Hermit - This character loves nothing more than silence and solitude
Epileptic - This character is cursed with uncontrollable convulsions
Deaf - This character has lost their sense of hearing

 

[Zohtun]

Epileptic - This character is cursed with uncontrollable convulsions

I think that one is rolled into Possessed. Uncontrollable fits...

Basically back then things like Epilepsy were considered devil possession. It's only been in more modern times that we realised that there was a cause (and a way to stop it).

Rowdy - Increased dueling skills but slight general opinion malus
Tall - Opposite of short

deffo tall. i want my longshanks

literate is a nice idea, but only if literacy actually meant something in game - early rulers probably not literate, but not universally (I'm 99% sure Charlemagne could read for instance), tribals probably not either, bishops and monks would have been, but by the middle to late game surely all the lords would have been literate.

Maiden - A woman who still has her virginity

only for girls ? no males ? nice double standarts and no equality of genders .
but yeah i have to agree, virginity was requred in same cases to be able to marry (for first time ), and it is easy to proof, while otoh for males.....hah epsiode of blac adder comes to mind.

srsly viriginity was not an expectation for men. pls dont apply modern expectations or standards to a game set in the middle ages.

 

[BrokenSky]

Pious / Devout - Like zealous, but with learning and more piety/month. Less negative opinion than zealous from tolerance of other faiths. Blocks Cynical, tolerances. Will refuse demand conversion.

Loud/Rowdy - -intrigue, -learning, +martial, +personal combat ability, +1diplo, more likely to accept carousing, more likely to get drunkard, gambler.

Drunkard. -stewardship, +diplomacy, -church opinion. Very likely to accept carousing.

Left handed

Self-centered / Introvert or Loner : -1 intrigue, -1 diplomacy, +1 stewardship, +1 learning.
Extroverted... wait nevermind I'm just describing shy and gregarious. maybe make shy give learning or stewardship?

you didnt realy sow that episode of black adder right ? and for males it was simply for practical reasons - no way how to prove it. And which male say it is still virgin today ? i know two girls which told it without shame, but no male .

 

[Zohtun]

That's a matter of double-standard. For males, it's a mark of shame to be a virgin. For a female, it's a mark of purity.

Your right. Having the ability to murder your children, seduce your sister, marry your sister, literally abduct and rape women, murder entire families, sacrifice people to the Gods, raze cities, castles, and churches, and seduce 16 year olds girls as an 80 year old man with syphilis is all good and fine. Minor double standards, which already exist in the game (-10 female ruler penalty), is where the line gets crossed.

 

[mrmastro]

Fanatical - this character hates another faiths.

Already exists. See: "Zealous"

well, medival times were REALY interesing, if you readeded more about them then you may be suprised that losing of virginity (for female) prevented some marages and murdering of enemies were looked at normal way of things.
nicolo mchaviely books about these times are realy good ones, and on personal note i hate that "machaviesm" today have negative feel, since nicolo was just writer/councelor, he just writed what was comon in these times and what to do to get from it.....and now he is looked down as someone who invented it.

That depends on which girls you talk to.

...In GENERAL then.
