			=Depracated=
			2 types
			:'''Leader''' Traits: World-affecting
			:'''Adventurer''' Traits: Narrative hero vs hero/on your own

			Characters start with 3 character points and gain (1 + 2x level) every time they gain another level

			====Leader Traits====
			:'''General''' is a general skill in commanding army units. 'General' is a term of role, not necessarily the actual rank.
			:*'''Haig''' is a bonus towards any units with a batch size of 1:10,000 or greater and all ground units with no more than one added cap.
			:*'''Achtung Panzer''' is a bonus to mobile, armored units.
			:*'''Dojo Master''' is a bonus to units, so long as they have +1 or better melee (or are Simple, which defaults to Melee)
			:'''Air Marshals''' is a general skill in commanding army units. Like generals, this is a role, not necessarily their actual title.
			:*'''Colonel Tomb''' is a bonus when facing enemies of generally superior advancement/quality level.
			:*'''Bomber Harris''' is a bonus to strategic bombing.
			:*'''Yamamoto''' is a bonus on strikes against warships.
			:'''Admirals''' are (space) naval leaders.
			:*'''Nelson''' provides a bonus to simple naval units.
			::*'''Honor Harrington''' provides a further bonus to simple naval units when fighting enemies of generally inferior advancement/quality level
			:*'''Togo''' provides a bonus to maneuver and fleet command.
			:*'''Bras D'or''' provides a bonus to all Fast warships.
			:'''Agents''' are the best covert ops agents a nation has.
			:*'''Gundamjacker''' improves the ability to steal military units.
			:*'''Walker''' improves the ability to steal advancement
			:*'''Mata Hari''' can steal military information, providing a bonus against the target in one battle
			:'''Explorers''' are archeologists, geographers and the like. In a dangerous universe like LOE, they probably have two fists and know how to use them.
			:*'''Archeologist''' allows the hero to search for artifacts
			::*'''Indiana Jones''' increases the likelyhood of an artifact being Ancient/Technomagic
			:*'''Lewis and/or Clark''' allows the hero to prospect for land and resources
			::*'''Dowser''' may potentially find exploitable Ether while performing other exploration missions
			::*'''Geologist''' may potentially find magic materials while performing other exploration missions
			:'''Officials''' are individuals such as merchant princes, diplomats, etc. They keep the wheels of economy going and the lines of dialogue open.
			:*'''Gorbachev''' is a bonus to diplomatic relations with NPCs
			:*'''Adam Smith''' increases trade return
			:'''Savants''' are leaders of knowledge; engineers, scientists, mages. They can provide useful benefits on research or training programs as well as a bonus to magic rituals or magic-like works.
			:*'''Witch's Circle''' improves the effectiveness of High Magic cast under the hero's leadership.
			:*'''Ford''' can eliminate the build time on one or more added capabilities.
			:'''Icons''' are individuals who are the foci of a nation; Oracle-kings are the most typical. If your nation has Lord of All, you ''must'' have an Icon hero. Icons can be quite powerful but are essentially defensive heroes - they can only act in your territory.

			====Adventurer Traits====
			:Initiative
			:Move faster
			:Take hits
			:Hit harder
			:See further
			:Lucky
			:Extra lives
			:Battlemagic
			:'''Avatar''' is a special trait that must be taken at level 1 and costs 0 points. This represents a hero that is something far larger and more powerful than a human, such as a dragon or a space battleship; this must be defined and specific as a military unit in your OOB. An avatar comes with some way of interacting on the human level - polymorph spells, robotic interface shells, etc - but will nonethless often face some difficulties in some tasks. Avatars will generally find it difficult or impossible to engage on the Adventurer level, particularly in physical confrontations - they are units and fight as such.







			Heroes always have one '''Archetype''' and one or more (but normally only one) '''Roles'''.
			:'''Archetypes''' are what your hero is; from an otherwise normal human to a wizard to the avatar of a mile-long ancient superdreadnought.
			:'''Roles''' are what your hero does (in a heroic fashion); military leader, diplomat, explorer, etc.

			====Archetypes====
			:'''Humans''' are the simplest and most common archetype. They have no unique abilities, but as a member of the majority population in the galaxy there are no real downsides to being a human.
			:'''Demihumans''' are, essentially, near-humans. This includes both traditional 'fantasy' races such as orcs, elves or merai as well as transhumans and cyborgs, and most tend to have some sort of exceptional or unusual ability. Demihumans are generally accepted in more cosmopolitan corners of the galaxy - or indeed even make up the dominant population - but may need to conceal or obfuscate themselves elsewhere.
			:'''Paragons of Magic''' are powerful beings of magic - sometimes archmages, but often oracles. Their origin - human or demi - is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, as these beings that wield immense personal power are best treated very, very politely.
			:'''Monsters''' are sentient creatures much larger and more physically powerful than humans; giantkin such as cyclops, dragons, etc. Some particularly powerful demihumans may count as monsters, despite their lack of stature; elder vampires and samothracians come to mind. Monsters are generally large and unsubtle unless shapeshifting magic is used, and even without magic wreak havok on a scale only matched by large combat vehicles.
			:'''Avatars''' are the human-scale interfaces representing large (and almost inevitably battle) machinery such as Atlantean battleships, or more unusually, technomagical weapons that can shapeshift into human-scale beings. Avatars themselves operate on the human scale but as what amounts to the remote tool of some sort of vast and powerful weapon system as well they are highly unsubtle in toto.

			With influence by reason and by terrain, this hero is an expert at delving areas underground, on the dark side of moons or otherwise covered places. In a warzone, she can hide military units, making them hard to find on the ground and almost impossible from air or space. Provides a bonus to prospecting.
