Good Traits
2 Fleet-Footed: You can run more quickly than most, resulting in a 15% speed bonus on sure footing.

1 Outdoorsman : You are accustomed to being exposed to the elements.  This decreases morale penalties for being wet.

2 Psychopath: You don't experience guilt like others do.  Even when you know your actions are wrong, you just don't care.

1 Deft : While you're not any better at melee combat, you are better at recovering from a miss, and will be able to attempt another strike faster.

Bad Traits
-2 Glass Jaw : Your head can't take much abuse.  Its maximum HP is 20% lower than usual.",

-1 Junkfood Intolerance : Something in those heavily processed foods doesn't agree with you.  It's possible for you to eat them, but you will suffer morale penalties due to nausea.

-1 Trigger Happy : On rare occasion, you will go full-auto when you intended to fire a single shot.  This has no effect when firing semi-automatic firearms.

-2 Albino : You lack skin pigmentation due to a genetic problem.  You sunburn extremely easily, and typically use an umbrella when going out in the sun.

 - Addictive Personality: "It's easier for you to become addicted to substances, and harder to rid yourself of these addictions."

You can be one, but this is just cataclysm inspired so there aren't all these stats.

10 stat points.

Would "bear mutant" be a profession?

Well... why not?

Well I guess it's a mutant-off then >::.

You didn't include where you start up in the scenario, but I'm guessing a shelter.

Hmm, what scenario is "Experiment"? Also, I suggest you take off parkour as it might be kind of useless.

I just used the trait-point-system that's already in-game for my traits. Hopefully it's balanced enough for this.

Da Rules say that you must put as many negative traits as there are positive ones. Otherwise, I'll start you up with a cocaine addiction or something.

[Sosoku234]

Experiment is where you start in the forest, you have a shirt and boxers. That's it.

Also revised the sheet.

[FallacyofUrist]

Da Rules say that you must put as many negative traits as there are positive ones. Otherwise, I'll start you up with a cocaine addiction or something.

As many? Rules lawyer mode activate.

Positive trait: Reality Warper
Negative trait: Somewhat lazy
... although it does say in the OP, "Try not to give yourself crazy good positive traits and meaningless bad traits at the same time", that's only "Try not to".
~~~
That said, the GM's word is law. So you can and should just veto such abuses of the rules.

[spümpkin]

Alright then. I was more so just seeing if you were okay with me using the point system, but if you're not okay with it, then that's fine. As Fallacy said, GM's word, is indeed law.
Edited.

Yeah, this is only a test game after all. The more I think about a game based on C:DDA the worse the idea sounds. But who cares right? It's too late to go back.

No- Cataclysm seems like a great setting to me. And there's plenty of time to go back. But-
You know what I say? Improve. My first game on the forums was funny, but horrid in comparison to what I've run more recently.

So if you want to do this, go ahead. I can even help you with the game design(and some of the running, potentially) if you'd like. But if you don't want to do this, I've got a few ideas that I've been pushing around- and I'd be happy to help you run any one of them. Every game that gets run here is less boredom for me and everybody else.
