I guess one of the problems is that GURPS doesn't necessarily have an objective definition of 'good', much less 'pure' good, or 'lily white' purity. Statistically I'm not sure there's any way to represent it...

GURPS Powers has "Evil" and "Good" categories of powers which might help navigate that but I don't have a grasp of it.

Questions like "can someone be lily white pure good and a non-vegan" for example... I wouldn't know how to answer that in GURPS terms. Philosophically it's hard for me to even define if objective good can exist apart from inherent impulse to get dopamine response from hard-wired charitableness, or subconscious desire for reputation/karma.
