You basically know how this works; I need attributes, at least intuition, flexibility, and any you feel you are or may be in the top 2% of everyone in the world, that is, we grab fifty people at random and you are the best.

MemberIntuition would be low professional, flex high amateur, hand-eye low professional.
Average strength, high intellect, high willpower, average resistance, average stamina
I'm better than most at computer use and systems (hardware/software both) as well as networking and telecommunications.
I excel at presenting complex material in simplified ways that are easy to understand.
I am skilled at learning new material. I can learn a new subject at an accelerated rate and be able to turn around and teach it to someone else.

B 7@1: Various Martial Arts?Onto skills properly, you probably have hundreds of skills, but for now we'll worry about those which are:
1. On the cutting edge of technology, ie genetics or robotics.
2. Combat oriented: martial arts, gun skills, sword skills, construction of molotov cocktails, etc.
3. Any skills which are psionic or magical in nature (in order to deduce your abl in those areas)

MemberI have basic skill with bows (recurve and compound), handguns (cleaning, care, firing, both revolver and semi-automatic, practiced with a .38, .44, and a .45 and I've assembled rounds of each caliber), and bolt action rifles.
In a fencing class in high school, I was second only to the new jersey undergraduate regional champion who happened to be in my gym class.
I studied Tae Kwon Do officially for a short period of time, and I have a unique brawling style that generally takes advantage of the fact that I outweigh most people; a combination of heavy hitting strikes and grapples designed to overpower a person to the floor and incapacitate them.
Psionically/magically, sometimes I have the sensation that someone is calling my name or needs me, and when I get in touch with them they were recently thinking about me or needed to talk to me. It's not something that I can control but it is something I have come to recognize and generally trust.

1@10 Read/Write Program (specific languages apply) T11@1For the psi/mag ability described, we can either umbrella that under intuition or make a seperate skill heading for it as a mag 7@10 Future Information skill with a +20 sitmod which basically functions as a plot device; ie, you have no control over when it happens.
Customer service we'll umbrella under a 2@1 Persuasion.
Let's talk about the style. Would you describe it as a style of basically striking with the hands and feet with some special intensified damage as well as immobilizing/tripping/throwing grappling maneuvers, or as a style which primarily grapples but has some intensified damage striking maneuvers as well as the immobilizing/throwing/tripping?
Would you describe it as fast or slow? Aggressive, or defensive?
(Was watching the new Karate Kid movie recently, was shocked that it wasn't terrible, and laughed as I saw the kids trained in the weapon-adverse rf 3 aggressive style go against the weapon-adverse rf 1 defensive style.)

For equipment all I really need to know right now is
1. Your on person equipment
2. Anything that is or may be used as a weapon (everything lol)
3. Any container or object you'll be using to carry things
4. Anything living, ie pets, or large or bulky that would be difficult to keep in a container, such as a bicycle or a convection oven.

Intuition would be low professional, flex high amateur, hand-eye low professional.
We use the terms "professional" and "amateur" with skills. For attributes, 2@ would be "exceptional", and starts when you hit the 98th percentile--that you are better than ninety-eight out of a hundred people.
I excel at presenting complex material in simplified ways that are easy to understand.
I am skilled at learning new material. I can learn a new subject at an accelerated rate and be able to turn around and teach it to someone else.
I didn't notice--did you get teaching skill into his sheet?
EdL ?@?
He has some college and other post-high school training, so that's 2@1.
For equipment all I really need to know right now is
Actually, you want him to complete his entire equipment sheet right at the beginning. That part about what you need to know is more geared to live play and that of which you want to be aware. That is, I want my players to put on paper every scrap of equipment down to the number of gasoline receipts in their wallet, but I don't want to take the time to read it over before play. I just want to have my attention called to those items which are likely to be important to play very early, and then to know that everything else is on the sheet and I can look at it there if it arises.
Looks good.

MemberMy agility would be slightly higher than average. I've had people tell me I move a lot faster than they'd expect, especially for someone of my size.
My fighting -- brawling -- style is slow defensive, consisting of joint and limb strikes and locks, as counters or grabs. The intent is to weaken the attacker's attacking parts and slow them down enough so that I can immobolize them and get them on the ground where they can't fight as well. It utilizes elbow, wrist, finger, ankle, knee, and headlocks, basically anything they try to hit me with I bend until they decide they don't want to hit me with it anymore. It's weapon-adverse.
I also have an adapted fencing style that I use with one-handed weapons that is slow defensive, mainly focussing on parry-retort. I prefer to have a short weapon in my offhand and a long weapon in my main hand, but I have spent more time sparring with one sword because it is more fair.

MemberWhile it's not a professional level, I am very proficient at picking locks. I can pick wafer, 4-6 pin tumblers, and any simple lever locks (like handcuffs) with paper clips or hairpins, and I do have a small professional lockpick tool kit that makes picking them easier.

(saw the paper clips, did laugh) Never know, you might create a magic teleportation spell that uses them.
We'll give you the 1@8 Agility.

I'll have to look up the lockpicking later.
We'll start the game with this.

MemberOne more thing for my equipment sheet - I have a long black cloak made of a polyester/linen mix, water and flame retardant, hooded, with a pewter clasp. I also have a black leather belt pouch and a brown leather belt pouch, and 2 black leather belts that are uncut that I'm bringing. They're all at the long distance from where I am. (My costume materials from the renaissance faire, completely forgot.)
