2024 Character Creation Challenge: GURPS
Feb. 18th, 2024 04:45 pmGURPS stands for "Generic Universal RolePlaying System", an universal RPG system that allows you to play in any setting. it's a toolkit for depicting worlds with a default assumption of verisimilitude. It has many well research source books that are useful outside role playing purpose. I really love the Horror book that discusses the horror genre.
I have complicated feeling about GURPS. I love how flexible it is, but it's also agonizing to decide what rules to use and what kind of character you want to make. You can make any characters in GURPS, which's a blessing and burden.
I make my character based on Evan, the protagonist of a Chinese web novel, Guidebook for the Dark Duke. Evan has transmigrated into a regency romance as a doomed Anglican priest side character, so he decides to win the yandere duke's heart for money and status. However, he falls in love with the duke while investigating crimes. It's refreshing to see an ambitious, two-faced, sharp, and selfish yet believably charming protagonist. He's competent but doesn't have super ability, so it'll be easier for me.
I use a 100 character point as an exceptional character level. I also use both the priest and detective template in GURPS 4E Horror for reference. I bases his stat as he's in in the early canon. He's a conman but not a fighter, and hasn't earned the duke as his ally yet.
