Tonight, I was looking through GURPS IOU and came upon the section that discusses appropriate point levels for characters in that milieu. Local Citizenry, the book states, would rate 0-100 points. I began to wonder...then, I popped open GURPS Character Builder and started, uh, buildin'.
So! Meet Jerry Raymond:

Jerry's an average guy. He likes sports, he's kind of quiet, he's a bit of an artist and likes to hang out with his friends.But the talking broccoli in his fridge, the time that a Martian princess rear-ended him at the grocery store, and the regular wrong-number calls from Steven Hawking and Eleanor Roosevelt's ghost? THOSE things are obviously NOT normal, and they WEREN'T his idea, and he kinda wishes they wouldn't happen.
But they do.
So...he deals with it...just like everyone else.
So I guess he lives in whatever town IOU is in, and maybe his life and the University intersect a lot.
Hmmm.
