Zhang snaps his finger, and the doors on the sides of the four buildings open.  Out step four men.

The first is garbed like a ninja in black, face half covered.  He carries an assortment of Oriental weapons.

The second is a large man in modern clothes.  He holds a pistol in one hand and a tire iron in the second.

The third is dressed only in trousers with no weapons or shoes.

The fourth is clad in a black robe, his face completely concealed.

Each stands at attention--four statues ready to be commanded.

Zhang says, "Now look within you to see what abilities you have gained."

OOC:
Choose one of the following advantages:
1)  Trained by a Master
2)  Weapon Master
3)  Sharpshooter
4)  Iron Hand (If you choose this, you receive 30 extra points to apply elsewhere).

Also, choose one of the following.  Your skill level will be equal to the relevant attribute level (i.e. equal to your DX, ST, etc.)

1)  Hypnotism
2)  Escape
3)  Pressure Points
4)  Meditation
5)  Stealth

(If you have already begun to look at this through the web site before, this is the roleplaying part of your character upgrade.)

Again, if you have questions about specific things, let me know and I will try to look into them this weekend.

Also, if you have questions about how to update a character in GURPS, let me know since it is not a matter of leveling like in some other games.

Codec walks up the the man with gun and tire iron and asks, "What should I take to acquire your knowledge?".

OOC: I took sharpshooter and Katana. What does the sharpshooter advantage do?

Screed calms his emotions and closes his eyes.  Looking deep within himself, he finally opens his eyes and provides his answer.  "Thank you, master, I have gained the gift of mockery and sarcasm."  His eyes are alight with humor as he giggles.  He adds, "Oh, and hunger, I mean the ability to expertly judge subtle variations in food.  Let that test begin."

Shadow can barely contain himself as Screed finishes "HA!  Since when did you not have those abilities.  And as for food, do plan on eating zero-one out of house and home?"  Straightening up, Shadow looks at the four figures and ponders his first step.

Screed responds only mildly hurt, "Hey, can I help it that I'm a growing boy and need good food?  You know, a healthy growing teenager can eat twice their body weight and it's necessary to survive," he adds with some creative exaggeration.
