Also here is a link for the (free) GURPs lite booklet, it's only 32 pages and has all the basics you need, you don't even need an account, just an email

First thing's first, here is the Character Sheet
You will have 85 points total (you start at 0, and "buy" things which add to it) and a maximum of -35 in disadvantages and quirks.

Character Notes:

When you copy the sheet you will (hopefully) have your copy of GURPs lite. the first step is to spend points on basic attributes and secondary characteristics. For basic attributes your limit is a top of 14, and a low of 7, nothing above or below that. For secondary characteristics there isn't a limit within reason. If for whatever reason you don't have your copy of GURPs lite consult me but here is the basic gist of it:

Basic Attributes
Strength (ST) +/- 10 pts per level (subtract points if you take away a level, add points if you increase)
Dexterity (DX) +/- 20 pts per level
Intelligence (HQ) +/- 20pts per level
Health (HT) +/- 10 points per level

Secondary Characteristics

Hitpoints (HP) +/- 2 pts per +/-1 HP (Base is same as strength [i.e. 13 ST is 13 HP])
Will +/- 5 pts per +/-1 Will (base is same as IQ)
Perception (Per) +/- 5 pts per +/-1 Per (Base is same as IQ)
Fatigue Points (FP) +/- 3 pts per +/-1 FP (Base is same as HT)

REMEMBER DO NOT SPEND ALL YOUR POINTS ON ATTRIBUTES AND CHARACTERISTICS! THESE POINTS ARE FOR YOUR ENTIRE CHARACTER!

Will edit with more steps as we move on.

Character Notes: Oceanus was born in a fishing village South of Rome. He wasn't from a rich family, more of a comfortable one. Due to him growing up on a rather flat area Oceanus never liked heights, he just wasn't comfortable with the possibility of falling. His mother worked as the local medical woman and he learned a few skills from her as he grew up. His father valued the ability to survive in the wild and brought Oceanus and his brother Magnus, into the local wilds and trained them in the basics in surviving the harsh winter months and the scorching summers. When he came of age Oceanus joined with the local army station where he learned how to use a sword and shield, he learned fast and was moving toward the top of his class. He began to learn the basics of tactics before he was shipped off.
