In games you GM you can do anything you want.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Sure if your GM is fine with it you can use them. But they are not canon (yet) for those lines. So they would be an import to the game. That said many GMs import things from the other lines anyway (skills and spells being the most common) so these are not to out there. But make sure its okay before you start.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Robotech also uses special aptitudes which are almost the same (just a couple differences like being good at robot piloting versus good at some other vehicle) as Dead Reign, but it had notes saying that players should only get them if they randomly roll EVERYTHING, including attribute-category and alignment.
