Unless the word 'baseline' is being used strangely, a character without advantages or disadvantages is the baseline from which you build a character.

Baseline is not being used strangely, just not in the technical sense you describe there.

There will be, in any setting, a prevalent degree of any given quality you care to name among the population. Sometimes this comes from the game system, sometimes from the setting design.
