特性は、キャラクターのパーソナリティ、能力、評判、および身体的特徴を表します。これらの特性は、イベントによって獲得したり失われたりすることがあり、なかには子孫に受け継がれる特性もあります。特性は、属性値（attributes）から他人が感じている評価（opinion ）まで、キャラクターに関するすべてに影響します。ほとんどの特性は、特定のイベントの結果に影響を与えたり、追加の選択肢を与えたりします。ルーラーデザイナーを使用する場合は、カスタマイズポイント（customization points）を消費します。
性格特性
性格特性はキャラクターを最もよく表現している特性で、性格特性と相反する行動や決断を行った時に、
ストレスを受けるかどうかや、受けるストレスの大きさに影響を与えます。 AIキャラクターの場合、特性は他のキャラクターの
恐怖に対する抵抗力も決定します。キャラクターは3つ以上の性格特性を持たない傾向があります。性格特性は変えることもありますが、そうすることは非常に難しく、ストレスレベル（Stress Level）2以上での精神崩壊（mental break）の結果として発生するのが最も多いです。
それぞれの性格特性は反対の特性を持っており、通常、反対の性格特性を持った人物は互いの
評価が低くなります。キャラクターは2つの相反する特性を持つことはできません。
