Question about trait requirements
«

It's not clear to me how to work with trait requirements. In other words, "are the trait requirement retrograde prerequisites, or anterograde requirements?" I may be making this harder than it really is; I have a guess, but it feels a little "against the grain"... So I thought I'd ask.
I am looking at the
Soldier:Captain
lifepath as a prominent aspect of my character concept. I'm thinking
Born Noble
to start.
Lord
to
Captain
is an easy jump, so I need to get from
Born Noble
to
Lord
. Here's the situation, then:
Born Noble
gets me 1 Trait point, which I must spend on
Mark of Privilege
.
Lord
requires the
Your Lordship
trait, and/but offers 1 Trait point, with no requirements.
As I read the character burning guidelines, I write down lifepaths first, total up trait points and then spend them. If I go in this order, I won't, strictly speaking, have acquired the
Your Lordship
trait
prior
to taking the
Lord
path. Otherwise, I may realistically be spending the
Lord
's Trait point to acquire it's
own
requirement (which, if that were the intent, I should think it would have listed
Your Lordship
on the Traits line in the entry, instead of in endnotes.)
My guess is that I should treat the
Your Lordship
requirement as a prerequisite, and take another path after
Born Noble
, to "earn" the Trait legit.

As long as your finished character has the trait points to acquire the required traits, you're good to go. Just make sure to pick up a free trait point somewhere in your lifepaths so you can pay for Your Lordship and it's fine.
