Trait: Scheming

Traits > Personality > Smart > Sly > Scheming
Traits > Personality > Dishonest > Sly > Scheming
Traits > Personality > Mischievous > Scheming

This character causes trouble that goes beyond harmless fun and playfulness, most of it being premeditated. The character is aware of the need to hide their intentions and may be secretive, deceitful, sly or underhanded in the process of achieving their objective(s). Their motives are self serving even if they believe they are doing good.

Their plans or actions might range from making a friend fail an important test so they score better all the way to letting a country fall to ruin for their own personal gain.

The trait is completely at odds with its description. A scheming character trait doesn't necessary have to be negative. I has nothing to do with creating harm or doing underhanded things for selfish reasons. Au contraire, scheming only means to create secret plans in order to deceive people. Nothing more or less.
I was gonna fix the description and approve the trait, but decided that i1683 plus i256 already serve the same function. not to mention that plotting is a synonym to scheming anyway. In other words, denied.
