Perks

Perks are passive abilities that improve your character in some way. There are different categories of perks: some you select when you level up (you get a new one every third or fourth level, depending on if you have the Skilled Trait or not), some are awards for completing certain quests, and others are tied to a specific weapon or item and unlocked by your skill levels.
