Ahh!! CK3-style traits.
Hmm... Alone could mean either shy or brave, imo.

Or the intrigue-type ones too, but compassionate block the ones that don't allign with it

Honestly fine as long as none infantry plan winning. Cavalry will favor us if their is an unexpected conflict, while with Familiarizing ourself with the rest of Alexanders companions is solid win.

We're like 6, I don't think there's any actual chance of us making any difference if there's fighting.

Here is my reasoning for the baggage train. Alexander is honestly going to be a monster on the battlefield, both as a combatant and as a commander so we would be best as the person making sure everything is available for his MasterCraft of military strategy

Becoming the chronicler of Alexander would be pretty awesome... And with our unholy mix of self-depreciation and extremely high skills, we would become the Ciaphas Cain of the Classic Period...
I hope this option returns...

Performance One: Archery
Performance One: Archery
Your horse strutted as you arrived at a clearing, it is a bright day with no signs of clouds for a long distance. The wind, however, was quite strong for the day..well that may be because you were in a clearing and not near a forest or hill/mountain area.
You took it as a challenge, after all a good archer would be able to fly true even with the wind current going against you..at least that's what it seems to be like in the stories.
You shrugged as you went down from your horse, and removed a minor invention of yours that you just made out of convenience really. A stationary target just for practices such as these to get a hang of the bow and the arrow. It is made of wood, it has three stands and a box with a red pigmented space by red clay in the middle.
You placed it at a distance away from where you first arrived at the clearing and begin your practice..against the current.
THWP!
You were in a stance with your dominant arm pulling the strings after knocking the arrow. You did your best to emulate the other archers in their trading yard. You spectated to learn how the other warriors fought with their equipment.
After firing the arrow, you startled back with a groan of pain, not expecting the string to lash out at you. Adding insult to injury, your arrow didn't even hit the target, rather it was just blown away into the field around you.
With gritted teeth, you begin another attempt once more.
First, you placed your pointy finger upwards to feel where the air is going, before going back to your grip where, by instinct to not feel more pain from the bow string, you rolled your elbow, not too much to make you miss where you are targeting. Additionally, begin predicting where to strike while also taking into account the wind speed and direction going against you.
Once done, you enter your stance fully, with your left foot forwards with your right leg somewhat kneeling and right foot back to station yourself in a stable way. You adjust your grip to not make it a death grip that would make your already stinged muscle tense in wincing from earlier impact of the string. You also made a point to grip your fingers slightly differently to a lighter grip on the string while not enough to just get the arrow to fall off.
Once ready, you fired the arrow.
THWP!
The results were a bit better, with the arrow reaching closer to the target but was swept enough by the wind to catch it and bring it somewhere else. Although you felt your dominant hand's fingers slightly wince..at least your left forearm escaped unscathed that time.
With determination to at least hit one in the middle of the red clayed paint, you continued the practice with great persistence, adding on the fact of needing to return to the field to retake your arrows and begin the cycle anew.
Again.
and Again.

Another argument here: logistics is key to keeping an army supplied on the field and without a solid grasp of logistics and how the needs of your men are met, compassion is harder to put into practice. Absent the baggage train, the army must live off the land and the consequences on the surrounding population will be nasty.
So if you want to lean on bringing our protagonist's sense of compassion into practical reality, have him study logistics.
I hope this line of argument helps Lord Nercromancer suggestion to gain traction, despite the unfortunate fact it was tabled late into the vote. Because I believe it matches our protagonist Compassionate personality even better than the Infantry does.
