I had an idea just this morning and then saw this post, go figure !

Pathological - Character doesn't just dislike those with an opposite trait, they HATE them, eg all Hedonists must die, all Attractive people must die etc.

Not sure how to implement this, maybe an event chain that creates an assassination chain if target has an opposite trait to the pathological character plus some other triggering stats (eg higher Prestige, Piety or general opinion etc).

I suppose for balance the opposite trait (Accepting) might be considered - negates all negative modifiers for opposite traits.

Either of these would be a great trait to give a religious founder . . .

new ones : (well these are more likely nicnames thatn traits :) )
king of the world - rule over 50% of existing know world (heh it will have bigger needs with more provs added later :) - added only once to that family/empire - so it will be rare, but it can be given again if that (multi)empire is bringed down by another empire.

emperor/empress under the sun - same as prevoius, but rule over 75% of known world.

Anda/Blood Brother - mongol/tengri only - a trait for two male characters who become more than friends, under certain circumstances they could be lovers (only with each other not other men, not really exclusively homosexual) and even rivals. See Genghis Khan and Jamukha.

Bisexual - has been mentioned but it should go with a likelihood of becoming lustful etc.

Polyglot - a bonus to opinion from foreign rulers.

Enlightened - a trait for Indian rulers.

Bestial - this character looks frightening, less diplomacy more martial plus some moral damage when leading troops.

Saqaliba - just google it. For Slavs in Muslim lands, those could be created by a decision ("buy a Saqaliba", a character with high martial stats appears in your court).

EDIT:

Holy Warrior - for pagans/Zoroastrians who participated in a great holy war.

"Sympathy for <religion>" already exists.

I think the idea is that the trait gives plus learning and piety but can stack with sympathy for <other religion>, unlike zealous.

Edit: mutually exclusive with cynical

I don't know if it exists but being born Blind without being blinded, and other similar physical restrictions from birth, battle or events (Deaf, Impotent, Mute, Deformity...)
Deafness would give -5 diplomacy (being unable to communicate properly)
Impotent would give -100% fertility and -10 attraction opinion
Muteness would give -5 diplomacy
Deformity would give -1 diplomacy, -1 martial and -10 attraction opinion

Not a trait, but similar to known murderer, men could gain a known rapist modifier through an event, which is more likely to fire with lustful characters. This would give a -5 opinion with males, and -10 with females. It could also be possible when seducing to attempt to rape the woman if she refuses.

Humorous and Serious (mutually exclusive)
Humorous, +1 diplomacy, +10 attraction opinion, +10 same trait opinion, -10 opposite trait opinion "This person has a great sense of humour, and laughs often"
Serious, +1 stewardship, +10 vassal opinion, +10 same trait opinion, -10 opposite trait opinion "This person lacks sense of humour, and is serious about everything he does"

  • Crusader Kings II
A few, named after historical people who exemplified these traits:


Ambrose. This character can read - quietly. A very rare skill in the Middle Ages. Boosts to intrigue and learning and stewardship, but a decrease in all vassals' opinion.

Jean. This character is a stickler for formal rites, ceremonies, and chivalry. Boosts to monthly prestige and piety, a slight increase to diplomacy and temple vassals' opinion, but a drop in stewardship and landed vassals' opinion. Dislikes Rufus.

Rufus. This character is the opposite of Jean. They blaspheme, burp, and break things. Decrease to monthly prestige and piety, a slight drop in diplomacy and temple vassals' opinion, but an increase in intrigue and landed vassals' opinion. Dislikes Jean.

John. This character is a snarky smart Alec who likes talking smack about their deities. Big hits to religious vassal and the Pope's (or Caliph's, or Fakir's) opinion, a slight decrease to health, and a slightly higher chance of a disabled child or demon spawn. An increase in learning and other religions' opinions. Zealous and craven people hate John.

Dub. This character is openly thought to practice sorcery in his or her spare time. It keeps the court in awe of their presence, but temple vassals mutter beneath their breath. Darkly. Boosts to learning and prestige and health, but ruins monthly piety, and decreases others' opinion (especially if they're a religious vassal or zealous).

Stephen: This character is a sucker for a weeping face or teary eye. They take chivalry to an extreme. Boosts diplomacy and stewardship, decreases martial and intrigue. Big hits to landed vassals' opinion if they're cruel, strong, or brave, but a slight increase otherwise. Increases temple vassal opinion and monthly piety.

Henry the Young: This character has daddy issues. He's more likely than most to rebel against his father, but tends to be popular with other rebellious youngsters and bastards.

Nicholaa: This character has controversial opinions about a woman's place, and the will to put those opinions into action. Temple vassals hate it, landed ones dislike it, but women and men with the same trait love it. Boosts stewardship, learning, diplomacy, and fertility.


And a few others...


Pious poverty: This character does everything extremely cheap due to their interpretation of piety. It hits their prestige hard, but greatly boosts stewardship and piety, drops decadence (if Muslim), and causes the opinion of zealous and content people to shoot up. Cynics despise them; landed vassals are irked.

Spartan: The same as 'pious poverty,' without the religious effects or prestige hit. Health and martial get a boost and the opinions of content, strong, brave, temperate, or diligent characters go up. Those of the greedy, hedonistic, or bankrupt go down, and there's a hit to vassal relations.

Harpist: This character can play the harp, a prestigious musical instrument in the medieval world. Boosts to fertility and diplomacy and prestige; hits to the opinion of anyone who dislikes luxury, or is deaf. Also slight hits to movement speed and stewardship.

Double-jointed: This character is as flexible as water, moving around effortlessly in ways that would make a normal person baulk or gaze in wonder. Big boost to fertility, martial, and intrigue, but a hit to piety and health, and a small hit to vassals' opinion.

Open-minded: This character does things outside their normal religious scope, such as observing Ramadan even though they're Christian or making sacrifices to saint's cults. It greatly improves relations between different faiths and cultures in their realm, but raises more than a few eyebrows among the clergy and their compatriots...

How about instead of using those names we use regular adjectives like:
Literate for Ambrose
Proper / meticulous for Jean
Improper / haphazard for Rufus
Irreverent for John
Dark for Dub
Steven is already charitable, or instead we could use Empathetic
Insecure for Henry the Young
I have no idea for Nicolaa. Can't think of anything which isn't either anachronistic (feminist) or makes implicit assumptions about the fundamental moral superiority of modern thought over older stuff (progressive).

(master) poisoner -* this char simply love to use poison for his goals, this trait is preferred for woman as they mostly used poison for their goals.

They mostly use poison for their goals. K. Need to educate this child? Use poison. then you won't need to anymore. Want someone to stop making those damn annoying cynical comments? Poison is the solution! How to tell someone you love them? Say it with chocolates. POISONED CHOCOLATES! Large army besieging your home? Boy you sure are gonna need a lot of poison...

Seriously I love the unintended implication of that sentence that women use poison to solve every problem :p.
