Scarily smart? Of course Beryl's nerd vibe would be attracted to someone who can match her word for word... :)
Waitwaitwait, Alex is *smarter* than Beryl? And her advantage is a photographic memory?

Is there a character sheet of Alex around somewhere or was this mentioned in some thread?

Memory and intelligence aren't really the same thing. Memory is what you can remember, whereas intelligence is how well you can use what you remember. Relevant to each other, but not the same thing.

Err, I didn't say they were the same thing. I just assumed that Alex was the "common guy" you often have as main character & Beryl the "genius girl". Seeing Alex has 17 intelligence & Beryl 16 surprised me a little.

Alex is an IQ17... that sounds like a GURPS Stat...! Is there a GURPS write-up for Alexander Jardin that I've somehow missed? Could some one post or can I get a link?

GURPS Fireblade (6/6/06)
GURPS Beryl (5/4/06)
GURPS Tempo (4/27/04)

You're a little behind...

He's after Alex's GURP sheet in particular which doesn't seem to be on the website.

What he said.. I've had those other GURPS Character sheets for YEARS! That's why I was hoping there would be a sheet for Alex.
