Character Creation Challenge 2023: #1 = "Action System"

We are starting this business this year with a repeat. In this case, it’s “Action System!”. The fictional campaign that our fictional game master is running is an extremely far-future business filled with aliens and robots of many different flavors. This means I have 50 Starting Points for Attributes.  The following is what I bought for my character with the math business in brackets as usual:

• 10 for Strength [50 - 10 = 40.]

• 9 for Reflexes [40 - 9 = 31.]

• 10 for Health [31 - 10 = 21.]

• 6 for Presence [21 - 6 = 15.]

• 10 for Intellect [15 - 10 = 5.]

• 5 for Will  [5 - 5 = 0.]

Now, it’s time to deal with the Derived Attributes business for the PC. The first math business here is for Defensive Target Number which is the following math problem: Reflexes + 10. With my PC having a Reflexes of 9 -- that makes his Defensive Target Number the following: 19. The next math business in this business is for Initiative which is the following math problem: Reflexes + Intellect/2 = Initiative (rounding up in the case of fractions) Let’s plug my PC’s numbers into the math problem: 10+10/2=10.  The next business is Toughness which is the following math problem: Strength + Will/2 = Toughness (once again -- rounding up in case of fractions). Let’s plug in the PC’s numbers: 10 + 5 = 15/2=7.5. Rounding that 7.5 up to an 8.  Next is the math business for Life which is the following: (Health x 3)+ (Will x2) = Life. Time to plug in the PC’s numbers. (10x3)+(5*2) = Life. 30+10=40. The Move is our next math problem -- which is the following: Reflexes + (Strength+Health)/2. It’s time to figure out the PC’s Move business. 9 + (10+10)/2 = 14.5. Let’s round up that 14.5 into a 15.

It’s time to buy the Traits for our character -- advantages cost us points -- while the disadvantages give us points. The fictional Game Master decides to give us 200 points to buy traits -- the following is what I brought with the math business in brackets as usual:

• Actual Scene (Gift) -- [200 - 9 = 191]

• Advanced (Gift) -- [191 - 10 = 181]

• Ambidextrous (Edge) -- [191 - 5 = 186]

• Athletic (Gift) -- [186 - 10 = 176]

• Attractive (Edge) -- [176 - 6 = 170]

• Lucky (Edge) -- [170 - 10 = 160]

• Night Vision (Gift)  -- [160 - 10 = 150]

• Addiction: Soda Pop (Inconvenience) -- [150 + 2 =152]

• Bad Temper (Inconvenience) -- [152 + 2 = 154]

• Distinctive Feature: Pink metal skin (Peril) -- [152 + 10 = 163] 

Ok. On my PC’s skills. I get 100 points for my PCs.  Group business is 5 Points per Level -- while a skill is 1 point per level -- even if it’s a type of business -- while a Specialty is 2 Levels per 1 point.

The following are the skills that I brought for my PC with the math business in brackets as usual:

• Swimming 6 (100  - 6 = 94.) 

• Disguise 10 (94 - 10 - 81)

• Stealth 10 (81 - 10 = 71)

• Intuition 10 (71 - 10 = 61)

• Acting 10 (61 - 10  = 51)

• Singing 10 (51 - 10 = 41)

Now, I’m done with my character’s buying business -- so it’s time for name and appearance. I’m going with Aelita as the name of the character. Aelita’s appearance is the following business: “Aelita is a human-looking robot made out of pink metal with purple hair and orange eyes usually wearing a white toga.”

The following business is Aelita’s full stats.
