=== Leader traits ===
Non-ruler leaders are generated with one pre-existing positive trait suitable for their class. Rulers get two.

Every time a leader gains a level, they have a chance to receive an additional trait, unless they:
* Already have 3 traits.
* Have already gained a trait via level-up.
Some traits are only available when recruiting a leader from the leader pool and can't be gained from level-up, and vice versa.

Immortal leaders that aren't members of a {{iconify|Gestalt Consciousness}} empire can gain traits with no effect beyond modifying their lifespan, effectively wasting their level-up trait slot with no benefit or penalty. This is most likely to occur with {{iconify|Mechanical}} or [[Spaceborne_aliens#Nomads|Namarian]] leaders.

A leader can gain a trait that's the opposite of one they already have as long as its absence isn't listed as a requirement - a Scientist with a Sapient AI Assistant can also gain a Custom AI Assistant, for example. Since leaders can't start with negative traits and can only gain one trait from level-up, you'll usually only see this happen for opposite traits where both are beneficial.

Governors are significantly more likely to gain a negative trait from level-up since almost half their possible positive traits (5/12) are only available at recruitment.
