So I will be running a GURPS fantasy game (with just the basic set books) soon and have been messing with character creation to get familiar enough to help my players with it. I found it pretty easy to grasp if you go straight to the trait lists section and use that. For gods sake use the trait lists section (page 297 of Basic Set: Characters for newbs like me). I can now whip up a 100 point (non-magical) character in about 10-15 minutes - including time it takes to look shit up that I'm not sure about. Overall I am fairly impressed with how straightforward it all was. I then took it upon myself to see if I can make an iconic character from fiction - so using nothing but GURPS: Basic Set and the wisdom imparted within - I think I have created quite possibly the most ridiculous creation ever to grace a GURPS character sheet..... I don't think I would ever put this character in a game without severely paring back it's strength. The value it has now however, is accurate. GURPS is all about simulation after all 1 hundred internetz for whoever can guess who it is. Attachments:

Nope - not icarus
EDIT - HINT: the 'small wings' modifier on the flight advantage doesn't mean big angel wings like icarus is often depicted with.....
