Table of Locked Traits
Mainly for quick reference so I can see what traits are shared by different characters.
Checkmarks indicate default locked traits. I was going to mark pairs of traits that the wiki suggests are mutually exclusive (where a character can't earn both in the same run), but I checked some gameplays and I saw one of those pairs in the same playthrough, so I left the whole thing out because obviously there's more opportunities to earn the traits than the wiki has noted.
Some interesting things:
I'll do the counting for you. Andrew has 5, Angela has 6, Daniel has 7, Taylor has 8, and John has 9. (The mutually exclusive thing would be relevant to how many they can have at once. I'm fairly confident I've seen John rack up 8 by the end of more than one playthrough though.)
Andrew is the only one incapable of being aggressive 💙
Angela can clearly make fearful choices in the game like the others, but the universe doesn't punish her for it. The double standard is real.
They all have at least one unique trait, but Taylor's is just her default trait (Deceitful) and unlike the others she doesn't have any unique choice-based ones. (Girl, have some originality. Look at Daniel, out here plumbing the uncharted depths of utter cluelessness to earn his Baffled).
Also, I'm still waiting for Taylor to unleash that rumored deceitfulness upon us. Pics or it didn't happen.
Andrew's Resolute is just funny out of context. Like woah, Andrew has an opinion?? nah fam, can't be having that ❌❌ (He literally can't win because Uncertain is right there as another of his locked traits lol.)
But it's even goofier in context because not only is Resolute positive when John refuses the drink, I'm pretty sure John's normal Resolute trait can also increase if he does the same thing that gets Andrew the locked Resolute, which is just them each generally saying that Mary needs to be stopped. The double standard be doubling.
Similarly, there's the way Irritable is one of John's normal traits from the get-go, while Angela and Taylor get cancelled for earning it. The universe is just too used to him being cranky to make an issue out of it (see above statements about double standards lol).
Angela and Taylor are also the only ones who can have Resentful. Like mother, like daughter x2 💞
Shoutout to Daniel's Baffled once again, it'll never stop being funny to me 😂

quick how shocking is it that an alicent stan is claiming that DAENERYS of all people isn’t an ‘actual mother’ and that her only children are her ‘fur babies’ and how DARE she be included in a mother’s day post?
she’s the mother of dragons (they were extinct for over a hundred years, she dreams of her hatching them by walking into a great fire, literally breastfeeds them as if they were her own), she’s ‘mhysa’ to the freedmen AND missandei, she became pregnant at 13 after being routinely raped for months and gave birth to a stillborn son. a baby she wanted so desperately, and it’s disingenuous and nasty af to reduce the bonds she’s procured with her dragons, the people she’s freed from their shackles, and her actual dead child(ren, maybe, bc she might have had a miscarriage at the end of adwd) to ‘can’t stand a fur baby bitch’ i am in your fucking walls.
i forget though, the only women deserving of sympathy in universe need to be given made up rape and abuse storylines in order for their suffering to count. not the THIRTEEN YEAR OLD who was sold into slavery, married off against her will to a 30 year old warlord, raped repeatedly to the point she wanted to die; along with being sexually exploited and physically abused by her brother, the only living family member she had left. they also need to be a white red headed woman who’s either an abusive piece of shit or a massive ungrateful xenophobe. i hope you have that same energy when a real life person loses their baby, make sure to tell them that because their kid is dead they can’t call themselves a parent anymore.

So apparently Jonathan Harker is described as being “full of energy”, at least four times...
Mr. Hawkins: “He is a young man, full of energy...”
Seward: “He is uncommonly clever ... and full of energy.”
Mina: “He was never so resolute, never so strong, never so full of volcanic energy, as at present.”
Seward: “Last night he was a frank, happy-looking man, with strong, youthful face, full of energy, and with dark brown hair ... His energy is still intact; in fact, he is like a living flame.”
And this all makes me think DAMN can you imagine... Being a high-energy person by nature and getting stuck in a room for months with nothing to do but write in your limited-page journal. Of course he lost it. I know he was like a husky with separation anxiety trying to chew through brick and stone. No wonder he started scaling up and down the walls!
(And while he was always energetic, after he snapped out of his brain fever he got even more energetic, like a volcano, according to Mina. And then after the blood baptism his energy became stronger like a living flame according to Jack, which at this rate sounds like untold amounts of adrenaline.)

(If michael kaiser and shidou ryusei had a common enemy, they would find in each other not an ally but a full-on enabler.)

I like that Isagi has compassion but no empathy. I think we need more low empathy protagonists because, low empathy doesn't make you a bad person persay and it's important to make the distinction.
Like Isagi is veryyy compassionate, he listens to his teammates, he tries to welcome back kunigami instead of ignoring him, he wants to get/understand others. He isn't some emotionless monster, despite his ego.
But he does not have empathy, he can never fully put himself in someone else's cleats. He can only analytically guess what they're going to do based on previous knowlage. He's always a little taken off guard by bursts of emotion on the field and usually gives up trying to help those people because he can't directly pick up on what they are feeling.
That's why he is the perfect foil to Rin, he never gets sucked up in his whirlwind of emotions. He'll be there for you but Isagi will never feel with you. And that doesn't make him a bad person.
