Summary

GET TIPBOX ABOUT OPTION PARALYSIS
Welcome to Character Creation! I'm gonna put it to you straight... Character creation is the hardest and most complicated part of GURPS, but we're here to help! If you have any questions at any point, feel free to hit up the #character-creation channel. All of the actual RPing and gameplay with us should be easily doable from mobile devices, but we recommend creating your character from a computer. It's possible on a phone, but might be a pain.

1. Create a blank character using this page as a template.  Link to do so is provided below.
2. Fill in the sections below to build and describe your character. Use How to Play GURPS and/or the links all the way at the bottom of the character page to look through options. The final point value should be 100.  You can take up to -5 in quirks, and -50 in all other negatives.  
3. Don't worry about adding up and totaling points yourself, the character sheet will do that for you.  Work with staff to fill in your character sheet and spend your points. You won't be required to edit Google Sheets if this is your first character, but it's appreciated if you do!  Ask us how. 
4. Describe your character.  Backstory Connections are a special thing that give you extra character points.  Quirks help bring your character to life.  "Short Description" is all that is required, see below.
5. What for approval from staff before you go out and RP.

Step 3: Learn how to do "mentions" in Kanka.

Please do not move on to the next steps until you have figured out mentions.
