User blog:Blueyhale/Characteristic Traits of the Gene-seed.

Did the geneseed carry genetic characteristic traits from their prespective primarchs and space marines inherited it from them?

For example Iron Warriors are very intelligent and very good at solving defficult problems but are paranoid just like their primarch is.

Then there are the War Hounds/World Eaters that are aggresive and eager for close combat they got that from their primarch long before the butcher nails were introduced to them.

Then we have the vanilla ultramarines in the 40k; I read the novels, codexs and played the space marine game some and thing tells me that they are suffering genetic (characteristic) flaw (I think they some form OCPD) that makes them rigid, inflexible and lacking reasoning but there are only three ultramarines (I'm aware of) that have not inherited the 'flaw' but if there are others; they follow the majority for out of fear because they don't to be branded as heretics or get executed because of it.

Then we have our people's champion the Salamanders who are care about the people and very artisans just like Vulkan is (makes me wonder if the malevolent marines are a successor chapter from them!).

So do the Gene-seed give characteristic traits or not?
