Carpenter Street Archer is missing Criminal, Desperate, Hero, Hunter, Investigator, Marksman, Pilot, and Thief.
Criminal & Thief: Besides stealing a car, kidnapping and beating a man, he steals money and doesn't return it. Affirms the illegality of it.
Desperate: So desperate to save all of humanity that he risks his and T'Pol's life, steals, beats a man in interrogation with his fists, allows himself to be "taken captive" by the Xindi...
Hero: He and T'Pol travel through time to stop murderous aliens hellbent on destroying humanity. Along the way, the save the immediate lives of six people kidnapped by Loomis. At the last possible moment (in slow-motion, mind you) he stops a toxin from being released that would wipe out 3/4ths of humanity: https://i.imgur.com/7ZkdcV9.png He even makes the cliché heroic Quantum leap across rooftops: https://i.imgur.com/pjqbgQg.png
Hunter: Archer and T'Pol track Loomis, apprehend him, and keep him tied up through a significant portion of the episode. They also use him to hunt down the Xindi reptilians and are successful in their bounty hunting by returning all three Xindi and their technology to the present.
Investigator: The entire episode is Archer and T'Pol investigating a temporal incursion relayed to them by Crewman Daniels.
Marksman: He hits a 7 centimeter beacon from 10+ meters away in a prone position and then hits an enemy center mass with his next shot and disables him. He later disables a second Xindi from distance with a single shot. https://i.imgur.com/pHp9KPz.png
Pilot: Pilot is a character-wide trait for Archer and assigned to other variants who do not pilot ships in their episodes such as Archer and Porthos, Ushaan Archer, Mirror Archer, etc. His piloting ability is directly referenced in this episode and he does learn to "pilot" the automobile.
Hippie Kira is missing the Veteran trait. Frankly, she has more traits than the scene(s) calls for already, but Veteran is a core character trait and she has so much wartime experience that the Cardassians literally call her for help to train their soldiers in season 7. One does not stop being a veteran.
Also not Displaced by what we were told about the trait:
Also not Federation, as with Prophet Kira just a few months ago. Bajor was not a Federation world.
Criminal & Thief: Besides stealing a car, kidnapping and beating a man, he steals money and doesn't return it. Affirms the illegality of it.
ARCHER: It's a gasoline pump. We need to get fuel.
T'POL: Where?
ARCHER: Where isn't the problem. We're going to need money. US currency.
T'POL: That's going to be difficult at this time of night.
ARCHER: Not necessarily.
(The scanner persuades an ATM to dispense notes.)
ARCHER: People used to go to jail for this.
Desperate: So desperate to save all of humanity that he risks his and T'Pol's life, steals, beats a man in interrogation with his fists, allows himself to be "taken captive" by the Xindi...
ARCHER: If he's trying to destroy humanity, he's not going to be able to do it with that. They only modified the virus for six blood types.
T'POL: If they can infect three quarters of Earth's population, it's unlikely humans will pose a threat to them in the future.
Hero: He and T'Pol travel through time to stop murderous aliens hellbent on destroying humanity. Along the way, the save the immediate lives of six people kidnapped by Loomis. At the last possible moment (in slow-motion, mind you) he stops a toxin from being released that would wipe out 3/4ths of humanity: https://i.imgur.com/7ZkdcV9.png He even makes the cliché heroic Quantum leap across rooftops: https://i.imgur.com/pjqbgQg.png
Hunter: Archer and T'Pol track Loomis, apprehend him, and keep him tied up through a significant portion of the episode. They also use him to hunt down the Xindi reptilians and are successful in their bounty hunting by returning all three Xindi and their technology to the present.
ARCHER: Daniels and his team have discovered three Reptilians on Earth in the early twenty first century. He wants to send us back to find out what they're doing.
...
ARCHER: He said the three Xindi travelled to Earth from our century. They've been there for two months. They're not sight-seeing, T'Pol. We have to find out what they're up to.
...
ARCHER: He gave me this, said he'd return us whenever we signaled him.
(Archer opens the box to show sixteen little items.)
ARCHER: These are temporal tags. We can use them to bring back anything that doesn't belong there.
ARCHER: If that thing has a scanning radius of three kilometers, how far are we going to have to drive to cover the entire city?
T'POL: I have created a search grid that requires a journey of approximately eighty kilometers, but it's probably we'll find them before we complete it.
(They're waiting for Loomis to leave.)
ARCHER: Here he comes.
(They follow.)
T'POL: Why would they travel back through time?
ARCHER: Daniels said they might be hiding from someone. The past seems like a pretty good place to hide.
Investigator: The entire episode is Archer and T'Pol investigating a temporal incursion relayed to them by Crewman Daniels.
ARCHER: Daniels and his team have discovered three Reptilians on Earth in the early twenty first century. He wants to send us back to find out what they're doing.

T'POL: Have you ever operated a vehicle from this period?
ARCHER: I can pilot a starship.

Frankly, she has more traits than the scene(s) calls for already, but Veteran is a core character trait and she has so much wartime experience that the Cardassians literally call her for help to train their soldiers in season 7. One does not stop being a veteran.
Also not Displaced by what we were told about the trait:
She and O'Brien transport back and forth at will.- crew who unintentionally arrives in an alternate timeline, in the past, or in the future
- crew whose intentional action results in them arriving in the past, or future, with no way back
Also not Federation, as with Prophet Kira just a few months ago. Bajor was not a Federation world.
Re: Displaced Trait
Props to the art department. The new displaced polestar looks great.
Re: Displaced Trait
If you want WRG to add missing treats then we should also be fair about wrongly added treats.
It should be a two way street.

Re: Displaced Trait
We need to apply trait auditing both ways. Incorrect traits added to crew as well as appropriate traits missing from a crew.
Re: April Mega-Event tease
My guesses are either the GOLEM actor from sherlock HOLMES, or NOSFERATU, or Richard Fairbrass (right said Fred) or Richard O'brien from Crystal Maze or lastly Picard. (one of the above is my real answer) 🤣
Announcing our April Mega Arc: Blasted to the Past
Greetings, Captains!
We’re happy to announce our April Mega-Event: Blasted to the Past!
While most of the temporal anomalies have brought people from across time into the 24th century, an accident while trying to solve the crisis sends many back in time - to points across the 20th and 21st century! Join many of your favorites from the galaxy where time has gone wrong as they try to put things right in a completely different setting.
For all four events part of this mega arc the new ‘displaced’ trait will provide an event bonus. You will also have the opportunity to encounter new crew, such as:
Disguised Janeway, Hippie Kira, Carpenter Street Archer, 2024 Raffi, Wonderland Taylor, Carpenter Street T’Pol, Disguised Tom Paris, Hippie O’Brien, and, as the recurrent threshold reward, 2024 Picard!
The schedule of events will be as follow:
April 7: Galaxy Event - Cracked Chronos.
April 14: Skirmish Event - Terran Nights - with the introduction of a brand new TOS Romulan Warbird.
April 21: Faction/Galaxy Event - Shattered.
With the finale on April 28 with a Faction Event - Picking Up the Pieces.
