Character Creation Challenge 2023: #28= “GURPS 4th Edition -- Lite Version”

 

The next one is classic -- with a twist. I’m using  4 Edition of “GURPS” but I’m using the lite version for this one.

Step #1 is talking to the fictional Game Master for the series to find out the genre since “GURPS” stands for “Generic Universal Role-Playing System.” After the talk, he is telling me that he is doing a modern-day high school drama set in the 1980s.

Step #2 is figuring out the points total for the PCs. Though average people are in the 25-50 point range in GURPS 4th -- Lite Version. Since the fictional Game Master remarked that drama can another word for “a soap opera” -- so he gives me and his other three players 100 Points for the character creation.

Step #3 is the four basic attributes for my PCs. Since 10 is a starting point for each basic attribute -- and cost or earn me nothing -- I will put 10 in each of the four basic attributes - which are the following: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Health

Step #4 is Secondary characters. Hit Point is the first one of this one -- and that is equal to my Health -- so that is 10 as well. Will is next -- and is equal to Intelligence and that is 10 as well as the next one -- Perception. Fatigue Points is equal to Health -- so that is 10 as well. Basic Speed is a math problem -- which is the following: Basic Speed: Health + Dexterity/4. 10 + 10 = 20. 20/4 = 5. So my PC’s basic speed is 5. Dodge is Basic Speed + 3. 5 + 3 = 8. 8 is my PC’s speed. And the last business for this step is Damage Rating. After looking at the table in this section of the life version’s PDF. My PC gets the following for its Damage Rating: 1d-2/1d. 

Step #4 is deciding on my character looking to the other people in the world of the fictional Game Master’s campaign -- and that is up to Mythic. Question #1: Average? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 30. Yes. 

There are a few advantages -- and one disadvantage in this section about looks. Question #1: Does my PC has Charisma? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 65. No. Question #2: Obidious Personal Habits? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 68. No. Question #3: Voice? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 76. No. 

The school is an ideal version of the American high school around the mid-1980s -- so everything in the Social Background is not used by the fictional Game Master - on the other hand -- since the 1980s was the time of greed -- take a look at John Bryne’s rewrite of Lex Luthor after “Crisis of Infinite Earths” -- Wealth is the only advantage/disadvantage in Wealth and Influence section in use in his campaign. I decide on the Average for my PC’s Wealth.

Now it’s time to do the Advantages -- and the following is what I brought for my PCs with the math business in brackets as usual: 

• Acute Senses 5 (5*2=10. 100 - 10 = 90.)

• Ambidexterity (90 - 5 = 85)

• Catfall (85 - 10 = 75)

The following is the Disadvantage for my PCs  -- with the math business in brackets as usual:

• Bad Temper (75 + 10 = 85)

• Gluttony (85 + 5 = 90)

• Greed (90 + 15 = 105)

• Impulsiveness (105 + 10 = 115)

I have no clue for quirks -- so I’m going on the skill business which uses the following table: 

The following is the skills that I brought for my PCs with the math business in brackets.

• Acrobatics 1 (115 - 8 = 107)

• Acting 1 (107 - 4 = 103)

• Carousing 1 (103 - 2 = 101)

• Disguising 1 (101- 4 = 97)

• Gambling 1 (97 - 4 = 93)

• Shadowing 1 (93 - 4 = 89)

• Writing 2 (89 - 8 = 81)

Now it’s time for a name -- which I’m going with Betty Burger -- and appearance for B.B. -- which I’m going with the following: “Betty Burger is a normal teenage girl with red hair and red eyes usually dressed in the following: a red turtleneck sweater, a pair of black slacks, a pair of red socks and a pair of black leather boots.”

...And with that, I call this business finished. The full stats of B.B. is waiting for you below this paragraph.
