What would you change in your Gurps character

[joppeknol]

Hi,

I had an idea that I would like to share with the group.

Recently, I was thinking what I would like to change about my self. More handsome, less overweight, etc..

Then I thought: ok, suppose I want a different character, but in order to propose that... what traits do i want to trade in in order to get the points for the things that I want? What do i want to change in my Gurps-character sheet, while keeping the same point-total?

I couldn't really think of something. I would like to be a little bit taller, but since that doesn't change strength or reaction modifier, I doubt if my life would be much improved by that. Age would be something, but that sounds a bit unfair. I became old by living a life.

So it turns out that I'm actually very content with who I am. It turns out that I am a well-optimized well-rounded, very low-budget Gurps character. I couldn't ask for more given the point-total.

So I was thinking: Am I unique in that regard? Did I miss some loopholes that you alway should ask for given a chance to make changes to you character?

Now I agree that it is a silly thought-experiment, but I thought it would be fun to ask other people's thoughts on a forum dedicated to thought experiments. At least, it has made me draw a nice conclusion. I should be content. Asking for more points would be selfish and a sign that you want the world to be about you :-).
