(GURPS) Margarita Bear #CharacterCreationChallenge *ALL AI*

This is my fifth year of the #CharacterCreationChallenge, and I'll admit it.

I use AI sometimes.

*GASP*

*Silence....*

I've used it to flesh out backstories, roll up stats.  Obviously the artwork for many of these are generated, for better or for worse, through NightCafe.  Heck, on Day 23 I just admitted I asked it what system I should use to make a character of the Christmas Dragon... and not only did it recommend Magical Kitties Save the Day, but I bought pdfs of the 1st and 2nd edition of the rules, so I haven't completely succumbed to SkyNet's desire destroy art in society first before completely crushing humanity.  

This one's a little different.  

I'm not sure what corner of social media I pulled this off of.  Don't know the artist.  But I simply asked ChatGPT to stat out a Margarita Bear for an RPG (no other specifics or directions), and the damn system generated stats for just GURPS, like there was no other alternative.  

Back in the 90's when I worked behind the counter at a couple game shops, there were two types of the GURPS customers.  The ones who loved the richness of the sourcebooks... and the guys who could crunch the GURPS Vehicle numbers in their head, then told me uncomfortable stories about their campaign with three other players, all of whom I questioned if they were real or not. 

ChatGPT pumping out humor-filled GURPS stats for Care Bears?  It feels dirty, but if this is accurate for 4th edition, it's also a solid baseline for other characters that I would not have originally looked at.

Roleplay Notes:

  • Margarita Bear is a chill, compassionate critter whose idea of conflict resolution involves lime-scented hugs and a mellow glow from its belly.
  • Often confused by more serious adventurers but beloved by NPCs.
  • Occasionally goes on tangents about "Margarita Diplomacy" and the unifying power of beach vibes.

The funny thing is, we did stat out "Huggy Bear" for our Risus - Illuminati University years ago.
