“Drives” is the word I’m using now. It will probably change. “Drive” has too much of a modern connotation. It makes me think of cars. And the Rush song.
mmmmm. Rush.
Anyway, here they are, replacing Skills.
Ambition
Duty
Reputation
Revenge
Romance

Add your ranks in a Drive when it is appropriate. You assign a value to each Drive. For example, for “Revenge,” Shara assigns “The man who murdered my mother.” For Truth I assign, “Discovering who murdered my mother.” For Reputation, I assign, “Wickedest Woman in the World.” For Ambition, I assign, “Rescuing my father’s Barony from poverty. For Romance, I assign, “Valin Burghe.” And for Duty, I assign, “Protecting my father’s reputation.”

Ahah. There we go.
Ditch Desires from your character sheet, too. Or, at least, replace them with the five words above.
Any other Desires would also be cool.
