I don't know how to make a character either, like at all, except that it's point buy. If you can't make it I'm assuming we'll let you know what our characters/group is about and background whatnot then you can make one to fit in. And if you can't make it then once you have a character idea one of us could probly do it.

Making a character in GURPs is surprisingly simple, and I'll walk you both through it. Dragon Maid, you and I can schedule some time to work on you character next week, any time after 1PM, so let me know what works best for you. You can all decided to cosplay as a group or pic your own individual cosplays, it won't matter for the story. If you can get a copy of the first GURPs book that would be a big help too.

For anyone interested, here's the basics of my character: Chad Bowleystoned, (real name: Chadwick Bowlingstone)
Larger dude, in ok shape, a fan of airsoft/larp/paintball, the extreme nerd sports lol. He's a bit of a goofy addle-brained stoner. He's a yellowish/orange belt (something not too impressive as he often forgets to go to class) in Muay Thai. He really wanted to wear 3 different costumes for the 3 days of the Con but he got too high the night before and dreamt he packed his outfits. So when he woke up he put his accessories and 2ndary bag of costume stuff and hopped in his car and left. After driving down to Detroit (epicenter of "The Con") Chad realizes he forgot the actual costumes, and swinging into a mall real quick he grabs some black shinobi style robes and a fake katana, as you need an actual costume to get into "The Con", so donning the Shinobi costume he throws on all his random character accessories and gear and calls it a "fanfic costume" so he can get into the doors.
Thems the basics ;D

Almost done statting out Chad Bowleystoned, just balancing out how disads/advs and stuff, makin sure its about an even 100 points. Done with stats, disads, and skills, just gotta weigh out some advantages now! Liking the system so far.

A couple of things, I know right now we are doing Friday nights, is there any way we can move to Monday or Tuesday nights, those fit better with me schedule. Also, I found us another player, he is new to GURPs and I'll bring him up to speed. Are there any questions you all have with building your characters, or about the setting?

Thanks Dragon Maid, I'm having alot of fun making my character.
Also I got my friend to play probably, he can play mondays as well, he hasn't played either but I'll help him make his character and shit.
[edit] I've picked my mashup. And I feel I should tell you ahead of time, I took the Enemies\Adversaries disadvantage. So a group of enemies to the characters I mashup all are out to get me \ hate me on sight because they all see the character they hate instead of me and are convinced I'm out to get them as well.

Probably not**, he was going to do 3 different costumes, forgot the stuff. So for example, if I did Batman/IronMan/Mario, there would be 3 people (my enemies) at least out there. Those 3 people, would be The Joker/Ultron/Bowser, and whenever one of those 3 people see me, they see their enemy/counterpart/rival. So whenever they see me, they instantly assume I'm there to destroy them/ foul their plans / step on them, whatever. I took Enemies at a 20 point disadv, a few more points and I could make it an entire government worth of people lol. Remember our characters are a "gaming group", so if I was going as part of a group costume it'd be with you guys (the other players) lol. EDIT:: FYI none of the people I named are part of my character. lol, just to clarify. The core of my character tho, that'd would be. . . HARLON NAYL - (Warhammer 40k- my fav setting) Hard-as-nails Veteran commando and bounty hunter, worked for the Imperial Inquisition for almost 100 years. Master at arms and hand to hand combat he's a smart tactical soldier who's willing to do anything to ensure the missions success/the greater good. His enemy\rival? Either Zygmunt Moloch (A terrorist master-mind, the webpage is in german i think, chrome translated it.) or a Daemonhost Cherubael.

I look like its time to meet up again, how does Friday the 23rd sound to everyone. We can finish characters and get everyone on the same page. Also if you could all send me your human character before hand, that would be great.
