Traits — work in progress
Every soul has traits. We're working through what each one means and how it shows up in the walk — visual, atmospheric, mechanical, or (for the 1/1 Sacred Souls) bespoke. Meanings are drafted, vetted with the community, and progressively wired into the game. Nothing here is final.
