d6	Personality Trait
1	Is it practical to learn an ancient language that is rarely spoken? No. But is it fun? Very.
2	I learned one of my ancestors was a lauded rune carver whose story was lost to time. I seek to rekindle that legacy.
3	The old, traditional markings of runecraft look so boring. Why not give my runes some flair?
4	In my studies of runes, I strive to understand how great civilizations of the past fell, so I can prevent it from happening to societies of the present.
5	Life may be a whirlwind of chaos, but whenever I create my runes, I feel at peace.
6	My brain struggles to process words written in ink, but the feeling of carved runes makes my mind sing.
