The skills and traits described here. Each character begins with 10 skill/trait points. The skills and traits have variable costs (some traits which are penalties have negative costs, but some of these only become available to more experienced players). Some traits can only be selected during character creation.
Skills and Traits can be "unlearned" by finding a Genetic Therapist, but this process is rather costly, and although you can recover (or lose) skill/trait points, you will also lose experience.
Usage of some skills sometimes bears a material/energy/experience cost.
