I don't think this is the mechanic I would use. The
idea that Brave is good and Cowardly is bad is
unDraconic: both are ties to the world.
I would treat both Aggressive and Passive as Flaws or
both as Personality Traits. Either way, the 'newt has
to buy them down over time in order to progress.
Then, on rebirth, they get all of the new personality
traits of flaws that they have to overcome (but,
perhaps, at higher ratings).
