Sorry to use this new thread instead of starting my own, but
does anyone have a write-up of Breq in GURPS terms?

I am interested in playing a 1000cp character for a pretty drawn-together
kind of setting (In Space!™️)

Force field-DR, ETS, a high Guns-skill and Ambidexterity seem a given.
Quirk-wise Odious personal habit (hums music) [-5cp] and/or distintive
sounds/Noisy [at least 1 level, -2cp each] / Disturbing-Singing-Voice-as-a-Quirk
seem to fit?
