Trait

A Trait is used to alter the personality of a character in a scene game. Most traits are assigned to players by the audience.

Foreign Accents
When a player is assigned an accent during a scene, then he/she must speak with that accent until otherwise notified. Though it is not required, most players also alter the scene to include certain cultural references and behaviors that a foreigner of the respective ethnic group might demonstrate.

Common accents include:
 * British
 * French
 * Irish
 * Australian
 * Southern
 * Canadian
 * Swedish
 * Russian
 * German
 * Asian

Emotions
Emotions are the most common traits for the Jolly Pranksters. The audience would normally be asked to provide three or four "contrasting emotions". If a player is assigned an emotion, then he/she must act with that emotion until told otherwise.

Common emotions include:
 * Happy
 * Sad
 * Angry
 * Jealous
 * Narcissistic (that is a fancy word for self-centered)
 * Forgetful
 * Lethargic
 * Gangster
 * Hyper

Ages
If the players in a scene are given ages as traits, then they must display the most extreme stereotype of that age. There are many ages to choose from, but the ages that are picked usually fall under one of four categories: Child, Teenager, Mid-Life Crisis, and Elderly.

High School Cliques
High Schools have a wide variety of personalities. The differences between these circles can be fun for High Schoolers to exploit. If a player is assigned a High School Clique, then he/she must play through the scene as if he/she were a part of that group. High School Cliques can sometimes be very similar to emotions, but often can symbolize more with less required explanation.

Common High School Cliques include:
 * Cheerleader
 * Stair Dweller (The Plymouth High School version of goth/emo)
 * Athlete
 * Nerd
 * Rebels

Movie/Film Genre
Movie Genres are the only traits that affect every player in the scene, and not just one single player. For a scene which requires a movie/film genre, the audience only provides one suggestion. Then, all of the players in the game play the scene as if it were that genre of film.

Common Movie/Film Genres include:
 * Film Noir
 * Horror
 * Comedy
 * Documentary
 * Spaghetti Western
 * Children's Show
 * Musical
