'''Traits''' are modifiers to your character in Space Station 13. Inspired by similar mechanics from many games (especially roguelikes, ala Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead), they impact the way you play the game in small (or sometimes large) ways by adding passive mechanical bonuses and drawbacks.

While Nar-Sie is an elder god, she is not the only one. There are other elder gods in the universe, and one in particular holds a fierce grudge against Nar-Sie: Ratvar, the Clockwork Justiciar. An amalgamation of parts, steam, and cogs, Ratvar seeks nothing more than Nar-Sie's utter annihilation. Unfortunately, his exile to Reebe - a plane of complete nothingness - makes celestial warfare somewhat difficult. To these ends, he has enslaved mortals to do his bidding and ensure the downfall of the Geometer.
Traits are modified through the game preferences menu by clicking on Configure Traits. Doing so will open your trait setup.


Assuming you're one of those slaves, you've come to the right place.
[[File:Trait_menu.png|right]]


==Summary==
Traits are organized alphabetically and by quality, in descending order: positive, negative, and neutral. You can see their names, and next to those, a short gameplay descriptor on what they do. To the right of that is a button to either take the trait or lose it. Whenever you spawn in, either through latejoining or when the round starts, your trait setup will be locked in, preventing you from modifying it again until the next round starts.


Assuming you've had experience with Nar-Sie and their cult, you might assume that Ratvar's servants operate in a similar fashion. In this, you would be both correct and incorrect. While both cults rely on forced conversion tactics and ultimately serve their respective gods, the similarities end there. The Ratvarian cult is focused primarily on subtlety, sabotage, and base-building, whereas the Nar-Sian cult is focused on sowing chaos, paranoia, and dissent among the crew's ranks.
Traits use a point system, called '''trait balance,''' which defaults to 0. This is used to balance the traits you take, and designed in such a way that every positive trait requires some drawbacks. Positive traits take from this balance, negative traits add to it, and neutral traits don't affect it at all.  


In addition, unlike Nar-Sie, Ratvar is capable of converting silicon lifeforms. Cyborgs and AIs are both valid targets for conversion. Converted cyborgs will have yellow eyes, visible immediately unless headlights are on (and even then a close examination reveals them), and AIs will outright turn brass-framed, be unable to speak in anything but Ratvarian, cannot be carded, can listen in through cameras, and they will not lose power as long as they are on a Clockwork Floor or near a Sigil of Transmission.
You cannot buy a positive trait unless you have the balance for it, but you can take any amount of negative traits. For instance, if you take the Poor Aim trait, you now have a trait balance of 1 and can purchase any one trait that has a balance cost of -1, like Night Vision. If you were to also take Nearsighted, you would have a trait balance of 2, and could take a trait with a cost of -2, like Skittish or Self-Aware. In this case, you could also take two traits that cost -1. Simple stuff!


Ratvar's servants must to fulfill his will; His only goal is to escape Reebe once and for all, and to do that his servants must construct and protect the Ark of the Clockwork Justicar.
Regardless of balance points, you can only have six total traits at a time. Unspent balance is left unused.


Luckily, you are not alone in this. As a servant, you have a wide variety of tools at your disposal.
Example trait setup, using the right image as a reference:
* Starting points: 0
* You want to take Self-Aware and Night Vision, meaning you'll need 3 points.
* You take Nearsighted to gain 1 point.
* You take Poor Aim to gain 1 point.
* You now have 2 points, so you take Self-Aware for 2.
* You decide not to take Night Vision, and instead you want Skittish.
* You remove Self-Aware to regain the spent points, and remove Nearsighted. You now have 1 point.
* You take Pacifism to gain 2 points.
* You take Prosopagnosia to gain 1 point.
* You take Self-Aware again and then take Skittish. You now have 0 points.


=== The Clockwork Slab [[File:clockwork_slab.gif]] ===
This setup coincides with the point costs (0 - 1 - 2 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 0) as well as the trait limit (5/6). If you wanted, you could also take an additional negative trait or a neutral trait to get your maximum traits.


If you've had experience with the Nar-Sian cult, then you can think of the clockwork slab as Ratvar's equivalent of the arcane tome. However, the slab boasts superior utility, and slightly superior portability, to the tome. All initial servants start with a clockwork slab and can create more through scripture (more on that later).
Keep in mind that there's nothing forcing you to take the maximum amount of traits, spend all your points, or even use traits at all. You are able to enter the game and play even with no traits, so don't let it concern you too badly!


The clockwork slab has five functions:
<br /><br /> <!-- this is to add some white space between the bottom entry and the list so it doesn't format weirdly with the image -->
* '''Recital''' Allows you to recite and Quickbind scripture. You can also toggle to and from Recollection.
* '''Recollection''' Displays in-game documentation. You can also toggle to and from Recital.
* '''The Hierophant Network action button''' Allows discreet communication between all Servants.
* '''Up to Five Quickbind action buttons''' Allows for quickly invoking Quickbound scriptures when holding the slab. One to Four start off bound to Geis, Sigil of Submission, Replicant, and Tinkerer's Cache, respectively.
* '''Can be examined''' to see all components in the slab, plus the total components ''available'' to the slab when including the global cache.


Clockwork slabs will generate a component of a random or target type every 45 seconds(plus 15 seconds for each additional human or silicon Servant above 6), provided they're being held by a mob or are in a mob's storage. Generating a component also prevents all other slabs held by that mob from generating components; spread slabs out, don't hold multiple.
== List of Traits ==


Using a slab on another slab, a person holding a slab, or a Tinkerer's Cache will transfer all components in the slab to the target slab, the person's highest-component slab, or the global cache, respectively.<br>Components placed in a slab will also be placed in the global cache automatically.
Below is a list of all positive, negative, and neutral traits in the game, including their balance costs and actual gameplay effects. If you don't see a trait on here, that means it's missing - please update the list to include it! Conversely, any traits on this list that are not in-game have likely been removed, so you are free to remove them. from this list to avoid misinformation.


''Every human Servant should have a slab!'' Slabs are key to the success of Ratvar's agenda.

=== New Servant Checklist ===
=== Positive Traits ===


So the round started, and you're a Servant? Good! There's a few things that you should do before you begin purging all those pesky untruths. Any unfamiliar terms are covered later in the page.
Positive traits take from trait balance and have useful or beneficial effects.
* Use your slab's Hierophant Network button to alert your teammates of your rank, position, etc.
* Develop a base for your operations, preferably after coordinating on placement with other Servants - make a Tinkerer's Cache, then make a Replica Fabricator(once [[Clockwork_Cult#Script_Scripture|Scripts]] are unlocked) for making Clockwork Walls.
* Start expanding your ranks by forced conversion; make a Sigil of Submission nearby, then cast Geis out of sight of your target, rush at them and apply Geis for a stun and mute, then drag them off to the Sigil; do this with a partner if you can, since the partner can cast and apply Geis to the target to refresh its duration.
* Increase your component generation by handing out Clockwork Slabs, making Clockwork Walls near Tinkerer's Caches, and, once Applications are unlocked, making Tinkerer's Daemons.
* Stay in touch with your teammates via Hierophant Network, and be prepared to help them if things go south.


== Components, Scripture, and CV ==
{| style='text-align:center; background-color:#FFFFFF;' border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=6
Servants of Ratvar don't sacrifice their own blood to use rituals. Instead, they use something called ''components''. In a literal sense, these are parts of Ratvar's body that have rusted and fallen free during his imprisonment. Despite this, the parts hold power on their own and are utilized by Ratvar's servants to power their rites - what they call ''scripture''. Scripture has multiple tiers; each tier is permanently unlocked after the cult's power reaches a certain point. For instance, [[Clockwork_Cult#Application_Scripture|Applications]] are unlocked once the cult has at least 9 servants, 100 CV worth of structures, and 3 caches.
! style='background-color:#66ff55;' width='75px'|Trait Name
 
! style='background-color:#66ff55;' width='10px'|Balance
There are five component types:
! style='background-color:#66ff55;' width='75px'|Entry Description
* [[File:Belligerent_eye.gif]]'''Belligerent Eyes''' possess the power to focus on certain things and grant malevolent sentience.
! style='background-color:#66ff55;' width='100px'|Gameplay Effects
* [[File:Vanguard_cogwheel.gif]]'''Vanguard Cogwheels''' are almost indestructible and serve in protection.
|-
* [[File:Guvax_capacitor.gif]]'''Geis Capacitors''' can manipulate the mind.
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | Alcohol Tolerance
* [[File:Replicant_alloy.gif]]'''Replicant Alloy''' is very strong but can be melted and molded by force of will.
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | -1
* [[File:Hierophant_ansible.gif]]'''Hierophant Ansibles''' can send massive amounts of data in an instant.
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | ''"You become drunk more slowly and suffer fewer drawbacks from alcohol."''
 
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | You only take 70% of the drunkenness from alcohol, and some negative effects (i.e. jittering) won't affect you.
Most scripture consumes a certain amount of components of a certain type. These components are drawn directly from the clockwork slab used, or from the global cache accessed by Tinkerer's Caches. The global cache can store any number of components, but scripture will prioritize drawing components from the slab used before the global cache.
|-
 
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | Freerunning
When a tier of scripture is locked or unlocked, all servants will be immediately alerted.
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | -2
 
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | ''"You're great at quick moves! You can climb tables more quickly."''
You might be wondering, "What's CV and why do we need 200 of it? Will it kill my children?" No, it won't, but it's still important. "CV" is the abbreviation for "Construction Value", which is gained by building Ratvarian structures or turfs. For instance, the Tinkerer's Cache (an extremely important structure) grants 10 CV. It is also granted by clockwork floors and walls - which are useful in their own right - and is a required threshold to gain more powerful scripture.
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | You climb tables 20% faster.
 
|-
=== Global Records ===
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | Light Step
 
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | -1
You may be thinking that this is a lot of information to keep track of; it is,and that is why you have the '''Global Records''' alert, which appears in the top left.<br>
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | ''"You walk with a gentle step, making stepping on sharp objects quieter and less painful.''"
Mousing over that alert will show you a variety of information on the cult's status, including the number of servants, number of Tinkerer's Caches, CV, if Tinkerer's Daemons are active, if an unconverted AI exists, what Generals can be invoked, and what tiers of scripture are unlocked.
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | Stepping on sharp things, like glass shards and d4s, is 20% quieter than normal. Additionally, stepping on them without shoes will deal 25% less damage than normal.
 
|-
=== Driver Scripture ===
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | Night Vision
 
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | -1
Below is a list of all Driver scripture. Driver scriptures are unlocked by default and have no unlock requirement.
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | ''"You can see slightly more clearly in full darkness than most people."''
 
|style='background:#bbffaa;' | Your vision in darkness is very slightly brighter, and you can see the 3x3 area around you without a blur.
Scripture names in ''italics'' signify important scripture necessary to success.

|Creates a Clockwork Obelisk, which can Hierophant Broadcast or create a Spatial Gateway. It also serves as a target for Spatial Gateways.<br>
Hierophant Broadcast allows the user to send a large message to all Servants, useful for coordinating.<br>
Spatial Gateway functions as the Script, but with a duration of 10 seconds and 5 uses, in addition to being '''two-way''', allowing passage ''from either side of the Gateway''.<br>
Two-way Gateways are both a bonus and a malus; While it can be used to rescue Servants, if someone notices the gate before it closes, they can easily follow or toss dangerous items into it.<br>
Spatial Gateways to a Clockwork Obelisk receive double duration and uses.<br>
It requires '''50W''' of power to Hierophant Broadcast and '''2000W''' of power to create a Spatial Gateway.

=== Structures ===
 
Clockwork Structures with effects become up to 50% less effective(at 25% of maximum Health) as they lose Health.
 
All Clockwork Structures can be unsecured from the floor with a wrench.<br>
This only applies to actual Clockwork Structures; brass windows, tables, and doors all have their own deconstruction/unsecuring steps.

== Threats to the Enlightened ==


Although the servants of Ratvar are gifted with great power, they are still threatened by many things on the station. This can range from enemy cultists to things as simple as hard vacuum.
----


=== [[Cult|Nar-Sian Dogs]] [[File:Cultist.png]] ===
=== Neutral Traits ===


The one thing that Ratvar hates more than people telling him that he has a bad name are the followers of his nemesis, Nar-Sie. Not only are Ratvar's servants incapable of converting them, but they endeavor to do the very thing that Ratvar wants to prevent: Nar-Sie's arrival into the mortal plane. The two cults are enemies of one another, serving rival gods with rival goals. As such, Ratvarian magic will be more effective against Nar-Sian cultists. The opposite is also true; much of Nar-Sie's magic is more effective against Ratvar's servants.
Neutral traits cost no points and do not impactfully alter the way the game plays.

{| style='text-align:center; background-color:#FFFFFF;' border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=6
 
! style='background-color:#5566ff;' width='75px'|Trait Name
Nar-Sie's cult is generally absent on the stations that Ratvar's servants are present, but the watchful eye of Security and heretical priests is ever-present. A tactical security raid can demolish the most well-prepared of servant hideouts, and the chaplain's holy weapon weakens the Justiciar's magic; a holy weapon makes the user totally immune to the affects of sigils, for instance, and holy water will purge the light of Ratvar from even the most powerful servant's mind, given time.
! style='background-color:#5566ff;' width='10px'|Balance
 
! style='background-color:#5566ff;' width='75px'|Entry Description
It should be one of the servants' top priorities to infiltrate Security. The servants can use the Sigil of Accession to nullify the loyalty implant of a single target and convert them. As for the chaplain? Well, Ratvar says "Suffer not a heretic to live", so the answer should be self-evident.

Traits are modifiers to your character in Space Station 13. Inspired by similar mechanics from many games (especially roguelikes, ala Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead), they impact the way you play the game in small (or sometimes large) ways by adding passive mechanical bonuses and drawbacks.

Getting Traits

Traits are modified through the game preferences menu by clicking on Configure Traits. Doing so will open your trait setup.

Traits are organized alphabetically and by quality, in descending order: positive, negative, and neutral. You can see their names, and next to those, a short gameplay descriptor on what they do. To the right of that is a button to either take the trait or lose it. Whenever you spawn in, either through latejoining or when the round starts, your trait setup will be locked in, preventing you from modifying it again until the next round starts.

Traits use a point system, called trait balance, which defaults to 0. This is used to balance the traits you take, and designed in such a way that every positive trait requires some drawbacks. Positive traits take from this balance, negative traits add to it, and neutral traits don't affect it at all.

You cannot buy a positive trait unless you have the balance for it, but you can take any amount of negative traits. For instance, if you take the Poor Aim trait, you now have a trait balance of 1 and can purchase any one trait that has a balance cost of -1, like Night Vision. If you were to also take Nearsighted, you would have a trait balance of 2, and could take a trait with a cost of -2, like Skittish or Self-Aware. In this case, you could also take two traits that cost -1. Simple stuff!

Regardless of balance points, you can only have six total traits at a time. Unspent balance is left unused.

Example trait setup, using the right image as a reference:

  • Starting points: 0
  • You want to take Self-Aware and Night Vision, meaning you'll need 3 points.
  • You take Nearsighted to gain 1 point.
  • You take Poor Aim to gain 1 point.
  • You now have 2 points, so you take Self-Aware for 2.
  • You decide not to take Night Vision, and instead you want Skittish.
  • You remove Self-Aware to regain the spent points, and remove Nearsighted. You now have 1 point.
  • You take Pacifism to gain 2 points.
  • You take Prosopagnosia to gain 1 point.
  • You take Self-Aware again and then take Skittish. You now have 0 points.

This setup coincides with the point costs (0 - 1 - 2 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 0) as well as the trait limit (5/6). If you wanted, you could also take an additional negative trait or a neutral trait to get your maximum traits.

Keep in mind that there's nothing forcing you to take the maximum amount of traits, spend all your points, or even use traits at all. You are able to enter the game and play even with no traits, so don't let it concern you too badly!
