    Go take a look at Lady Blackbird.

    See page 10: New Traits & Tags. It says, "More to come in the next version!" but that totally hasn't happened.

    Please help me out. Post new traits and tags here so I can fill out the rest of that page and get the final version of the PDF done.

    Thanks!

    Burning Wheels' and Burning Empires' Life Paths would be great inspiration.

    When I am not so tired I will turn my unholy eyes on this and all will despair.

    Be warned: it's very late (early?), I'm tired, and these might not be particularly well thought-out.

    Some traits that don't quite seem to be covered by what already exists:

    Investigator/Detective:
    Search, Deduce, Seduce, Interrogate, Bribe, Coerce, Contacts, Sneak, Fisticuffs, Pistol

    Mad Scientist/Alchemist:
    Acid, Smoke, Electricity, Explosions, Improvisation, Potions, Machines, Tinkering, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Memorization, Recall, Eureka!

    Weasel/Con Man:
    Fast-talk, Fast Hands, Confuse, Misdirection, Hide, Run, Whine & Snivel, Plead


    And some racial traits (for races beyond human and goblin that came up in my game of LB):

    Lizardfolk:
    Prehensile Tail, Chameleon, Agile, Quick, Climb, Heightened Awareness, Hold Still, Quiet, Deadpan, Cold-blooded

    Minotaur:
    Tough, Burly, Extreme Strength, Hot-Tempered, Horns, Bull Rush, Large, Hoof, Surly

    Edit: added suggestions from Ry, below.

    My Darn Ex-Wife has a bunch of new tags and traits, some of which would be suitable for Lady Blackbird and some of which are less suited.

    Aeromancer
    Wind Whispering, Obscuring Mist, Fog-breathing, Divination, Atmospherics, Aerophone, Navigation, [Levitation], [Folding Space], [Abyss]



    I'm imagining that aerophone somehow lets you use essence as a telegraph line, to communicate to other aeromancers.
