My own

STR: 5
PER: 8
END: 9(remarkable ability to just continue on past exhaustion with great pain tolerance)
CHR: 4
INT: 8(I've IQ tested at 138)
AGL: 4(bad knees)
Luck: 3

I'm your ambush predator. I see enemies from afar, have no problem waiting for them, and know exactly the best place to set a mine. 4 Charisma because I try to use logic to convince people when ethos and pathos get you much further with most people.

7 STR - I never work out though.
5 PER
10 END - I've got one hell of a tolerance for pain.
6 CHR - I'M THE CULT OF PER-SON-AL-ITY
6 INT - History, Biology and English are my strong suits.
4 AGL - I'm a big guy, what can I say?
6 LCK - I always have the deck stacked in my favor.

I never really liked the Special Stat system. I like the DnD stat system better. But here's mine.

5-Strength
4-Perception
5-Endurance
5-Charisma
7-Intelligence
3-Agility
5-Luck

Oh and whoever is putting that they have 1 Agility you should know that means your paraplegic. I mean I have horrible Agility as well tripping over my own feet and all but that still only puts me at 3 agility. Also Never liked the Luck Stat since I dont believe in luck, and that you make your own luck.

bjj hero said:
Surely everyone scoring 9s should be in the top of their field? Shouldn't 9 int make you equal to House or Doogie Howser?
there are lots of people like that, people considered to be hyper intelligent make up approximately 1-2% of the population and that's a really big number when you consider there are around 7 billion of us these days
as an English billion is 1,000,000,000 that makes roughly 10,000,000-20,000,000 people worldwide that have 'House' or whoever's super intellect you wish to cite
most people just seem to forget how-many people there really are, and or how percentages work on large numbers its just unfathomable when you try to imagine 7 billion in your head

also, the people citing Illusory superiority clearly have no appreciation for it or are suffering from the condition because it clearly states you artificially lower other people's worth in comparison to your own, so saying i'm better than you because i have lower stats and yours are unbelievable is a hook line and sinker fail, or such an enormous projection that you could, as yahtzee puts it project power-point presentations on to a wall with your mad skills.

anyway enough pseudo-psycho-babble!
( none of us are psychologists, not that I put allot of store by that profession, so why pretend! )

let's special me

S= 7
P= 8
E= 7
C= 3
I= 9
A= 4
L= 3

my back-story:
all i was born with was my mind i've worked hard cycling and amateur body-building for years to close the gap, and in some areas overcome my piers
not being a lucky person at all i have no intrinsic fame, wealth, friends, or social skills
but i do have very good mental and sensory perception and am smart enough to figure out how to level up my other stats ( it's only a matter of time )

Now i'm in the mood to role-play, dammmmn you forum!

6 - Strength - I've done my share of weight-lifting for fun, but I'm not ripped or anything,
3 - Perception - Visually I miss a lot because of my fear of slipping when walking. Poor hearing.
3 - Endurance - I can endure in terms of work...not in terms of physical activity as I can't run.
4 - Charisma - Once I get comfortable, people find me charismatic, until then I'm extremely shy.
3 - Intelligence - I'm an expert at my narrow hobbies and with money. Everything else I lag behind.
2 - Agility - Can't run or walk quickly on any surface due to fears and I'm clumsy.
3 - Luck - Not sure, but people around me seem to have better luck than I do.

I'd be among the worst choices for a game hero. Thankfully, there are other human traits and qualities that are not covered in SPECIAL that I'm actually proficient in...so it's all good.

I tried to do it the Fallout way, but I ended up with points I couldn't attribute honestly! Maybe I'm under-selling myself, but my speed and precision have always been good, and I'm studying Molecular Biology at degree level, love philosophy, especially ethical dilemmas, and I have a passion for learning, so I'm not unintelligent, however if I was to give much credence to IQ results, my 122 isn't going to assure me a place in cryogenics after my death. My perception is fairly above average; I'm good at naturally pre-empting peoples reactions, their emotions, what they're trying to hide, by making observations in the past as well as spotting inconsistencies in lies. (Not to make out that it's incredible, but it's definitely a thing I have). The rest: well I get along with people, I'm not frail limbed but I'm not "strong", I'm out of breath quickly when running, and I'm really unlucky.

S 4
P 7
E 3
C 5
I 7
A 8
L 2

I should be improving S and E over the next year though, as well as I and hopefully L...

Charisma - 7/8, smooth talker, easily approachable
Intelligence - 7/8, good in math, precise knowledge
Agility- 4/5, pretty standard, becomes 6/7 when playing games
Luck - 4/5 couple bad luck, nothing much, pessimist more than anything else

Strength 4: Can carry my weight, but not that built
Perception 6: Above average situational awareness, but no crazy good senses
Endurance 8: Can take quite the beating, good at suppressing pain
Charisma 3: I have my moments, but I don't think most things are even worth saying
Intelligence 7: 160 IQ, too lazy to study
Agility 9: Rarely every slip and fall, catch myself somehow when I do
Luck 6: It's mostly a coin flip, but every now and then I get lucky, like when I found ten bucks on the floor at GameStop today
