Setting up a Character
Character design is not based on any particular rule system, though the Game Master prefers GURPS he recognizes that many people are not familiar with those rules. In general character design should address certain important points in background and description. The character should not be perfect. Everyone has faults, either in personality or in physical form. The pirates of history are a particularly imperfect lot and your concept should reflect that! Remember, no one is good at everything and it is unrealistic to describe your character as a master of everything he sets his hand to.
