Part 1: Envisioning the Character

I'll make Kiril Kazak – a right bastard that's good with a gun. In Vast Grimm, there's no use in getting attached to the character, so I'll flesh him out if I ever play him- but there's a reason behind the fact that he doesn't trust anyone and doesn't want anyone to get attached. He's just too closed off for it to be on the surface at the beginning.

Part 2: Building the Character

I already have in mind that his class is Treacherous Merc.

His class says I roll 3d6 + 2 for TOUGHNESS and 3d6 -1 for Agility – all others are 3d6 straight for 16 toughness (+2) and 11 Agility (+0), the others are 10 and 11- both +0. D10 on weapons is 10 for energy sword, and d4 on armor is 3 for police armor.

Rolling for his skills, I get arena brat and dirty player. His HP is toughness + d8 – is that the original roll, or the final stat? Knowing that it is deadly, it's probably the original roll, so that would be +2 +4 = 6. Yup... really soft target. 30 credits and 3 favors.

Then I roll his backgrounds – childhood gets that he's brutal and tricky which fits. One hand is frostbitten and black- maybe he was threatened with getting spaced? And idiosyncrasy... I get to play a crazy person! then I just roll his equipment and spend his cash- I get a rifle to go along with the sword.
