9-00 Assault on Absalom

Question regarding one of the chronicle boons.

The Grand Lodge boon (Tempest Guardian) ... allows you to give an extra trait to a new character... which is fine...
But it also allows you to give the trait to yourself.

My question is, does this trait bypass typical trait requirements of only being able to select one from a category? So with the boon, could an existing PC have two social traits, for instance?

No, I would treat the boon similar to Additional Traits. You get a bonus trait, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the rules around traits.
