NOTE: I did not create this guide however it is very good.
LOTRO has a interesting way to create some character individuality. This is by the use of traits, which are gained from serveral methods. These are: Race, Class, Legendary and Virtue. Gaining traits are done differently for each but all are equiped but visiting a bard in Middle Earth. Traits are gained as follows:
Race: Gained from killing creatures that have racial hatreds.
Class: Gained from using Skills/Spells of you chosen class.
Virtues: Gained through exploration of Middle Earth or Purging the lands of foul creatures.
Legendary: These are gained through the location of Books and pages.
