(GURPS IOU) Fluffernutter MacQuinn - Squirrel Pilot - #CharacterCreationChallenge - Day 30

On the tail end of the #CharacterCreationChallenge, I intentionally placed a few crunchier character creation systems.  A number fell-by the wayside, but I made sure at least one Illuminati University student made it onto the challenge, with actual GURPS stats. 

Meet Fluffernutter MacQuinn, IOU Freshthing, majoring in Aviation.

Three takeaways from Fluffernutter. (1) I never moved on to 4th Edition  (2) I sort of miss the small library of GURPS books I had eons ago.  I bet things like claws are right in the 4th Edition player's book, but I simply didn't have time to look them up online for a point cost.  For minimal damage, it's probably only a few point.  (3) Outside of maintaining my Dream Avatar for fun, I think I'm GURPS-ed out, at least creating stats.  The rules system is quite simple, albeit modifier heavy, but I just don't sense the appeal of building out the characters.
