Hello Players.
This is just a little bit of info to get the juices flowing. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. Now, with that said, I hope this can help; espically for the ten 700 pointers (+/-50) that I would like for you to make.
Roll 3d6 for year in which you were born.
Roll d30 for the day you were born.
(we didn�t have a d30 so we used a d20�you were just born earlier in
the month, that�s all)
Roll 3d6 for your country of origin.
3 Uganda
4 Germany
5 France
6 Russia
7 - 14 USA
15 Arabia
16 Japan
17 Britain
18 China
Roll 3d6 for your economic background
3 - 5 Rich
6 - 8 Upper Middle Class
9 - 13 Middle Class
14 - 15 Lower Middle Class
16 - 18 Poor
Pick an attribute that will be your primary attribute throughout your life.
Roll 3d6 and add amount to your DOB. That will give the year of your first Abnormal Contact.
Roll 3d6 and record number for abnormal contact.
3 - 5 Wiggler (Large seemingly unintelligent creatures giant cockroaches,
sewer flukes etc.)
6 - 8 Ghost
9 - 13 UFO
14 - 15 Near Death Experience
16 - 18 Beast (vampires, gargoyles, werewolves, demons, dinosaurs)
Describe your abnormal contact.
What made you special as a child (i.e. Attribute)? How did people find out about this? Did you go to a public or private school? When did you know you were special? What was your first real hobby? What is your favorite color?
At age 16 put 120 points into attributes. (puberty�s a bitch)
All of your relatives are dead. How did they die? How old were you when the died?
What shaped your teenage years? How did your abnormal contact effect you? Who is your high school sweetheart? Did you go to college? If so where? What career did you choose? How did the death of your relatives affect you?
Create a two hundred point character with the normal rules in the gurps book. See list of restricted disadvantages. Cinematic advantages are allowed.
This should give you enough to create a beginning character. The world of Black Ops is a dangerous one. You must imagine Rambo meets Men in Black. Your goals as characters will be to hunt down and kill anything and everything that is different, and a threat to man. The characters that you create here will be your life before you joined The Company, and as such they will be the best of the best. The best fighters, soldiers, cops, athletes, martial artists, scientists, inventors, spies. Your Black Ops training will add much more to your Base character (approximately 500 points more) but keep in mind that as completed characters you will have abilities in the high teens (19 and 20 are not uncommon) and many skills over the level of 20.
