|3) Trust |
|---------|

Trust is teh key to winning the game. Because trust is what affects the way
your teammates interact with you. If your trust level is high they will 
listen to you and follow orders, this will also increase the chance they 
will help out in battle. Like wise if your trust level is low then they will 
reject you. They won't follow you, they won't help you in battle, nothing.
