While CASPIE is far from perfect it will be adequate for the purposes of this RP as I need something to determine character attributes. Please don't min-max and have the points put in make sense in relation to your character.

Think of CASPIE as Fallout's SPECIAL without luck. You get 1 point in every CASPIE and then 29 points to spend in what attributes you want. All stats are capped at 10 or 1.

C= Charisma
A= Agility
S= Strength
P= Perception
I= Intelligence
E= Endurance

Charisma= A combination of appearance and charm.

Agility= Coordination and the ability to move quickly.

Strength= Raw physical strength.

Perception= The ability to see, hear, taste and notice things others may miss.

Intelligence= Knowledge, wisdom and the ability to think quickly.

Endurance= Stamina and physical toughness.

1 Very Bad
2 Bad
3 Poor
4 Fair
5 Average
6 Good
7 Very Good
8 Great
9 Excellent
10 Heroic

For the majority of people all their CASPIE stats would be between 3 and 8 inclusive. I don't want to see min-maxing for character creation purposes, have stats that make sense in relation to your character rather than putting points into stats you think are the best. Also keep your race in mind when crafting a character, a ghoul will likely have lower charisma but higher endurance.

When things need to be rolled I will be using two D10 dice to create a percentage. So that percentage could be anywhere between 0% (Two 0s) or 99% (Two 9s.) There will be no set measurement of damage however when people are hurt it will be described.

When making your character you pick 3 Tag Skills which your character is very proficient with. These are by no means the only skills your character has, only where they excel. You can mention other skills your character possess in your character sheet but they won't be as good at them. Every skill is derived from a CASPIE attribute. Skills follow along with descriptions of what the skills are:

Charisma:

Speech = Skill at persuading, seducing, deceiving and overall manipulating people by talking to them.

Agility:

Marksmanship = Skill at using firearms and energy weapons.
Sneak = Skill at remaining unseen, moving unheard and stealing.

Strength:

Melee = Skill at engaging in combat with your bare fists and with melee weapons like knives, clubs, axes, etc.

Perception:

Explosives = Skill at using and knowledge of various kinds of explosives like grenades, mines, remote explosives, flamethrowers and missile launchers.
Lockpick = Skill at picking locks, electronic and otherwise.

Intelligence:

Repair = Knowledge of how to operate and repair equipment and machinery.
Science = One's knowledge of highly technical skills such as computers, geology, biology, chemistry and physics.
Medicine = Impacts one's skill at treating wounds and understanding of the human body.

Endurance:

Survival = Practical knowledge of the outdoors, knowledge of tracking and the ability to live off the land.

Traits are optional and something you can use to further specalise your character. Each trait has a positive and negative effect. You can have 0, 1 or 2 Traits.

One Hander:
One of your hands is very dominant. You excel with single-handed weapons, but two-handed weapons cause a problem.

This is My Boomstick:
These newfangled Energy Weapons are just a fad, there is a reason people continue to use kinetic weapons to this day. You excel at using traditional firearms but are less skilled with using energy weapons.

Blaster Master:
When two people of equal skill fight the one with the better equipment walks away the victor. You excel at non-kinetic weapons, the kind of weapons that fire laser and plamsa but are less experienced using traditional firearms.

Good Natured:
Violence just isn't in your nature. When it comes to combat you are out of your depth but you are better at speech, medicine, science and repair.

Here is the character sheet. Just copy and paste the code. If you have any questions or anything is unclear then don't be afraid to ask. Sample Character Sheet: (Don't actually make your character this obvious of a copy of a fictional character, I'm just using Max here as an example.)
