Other people will put in their thoughts - here are some of mine:
Con/endurance - it doesn't come up often but when it does it is vital - you might consider putting some points into this.
Throwing axe/knife/bow - keep in mind that the larger the weapon, the more damage it does - and the reverse is true. You might want to consider dropping throwing axe (if you want bow) and putting points into 'quick draw arrow' - otherwise you fire once every other round. (Round 1: Pull out arrow. Round 2: Shoot. Repeat.)
For some reason on some of the skills, there is nothing in the green box. Wondering if you'd put the points in the wrong box, deleted it and that cleared out the formula.
Boating - the formula looks broken - if you put 20 points into it it should be at 30%, rather than 60%.
Actually, I'm seeing that same problem (looks like the formulas have been accidentally deleted so the points aren't correct) on a bunch of skills. Not sure if the points are correct.
Cthulhu mythos - do you really want it that high? If you have knowledge of it IRL go for it otherwise, up to you, you might consider lowering it if you need the points elsewhere. Reason - it doesn't come up all that often. All of the skills are a balance between 'do I think I'll actually use this skill often or could I spend the points better elsewhere'. Also, don't forget after the first game if you want to switch stuff around you can.
(The formula thing is a PITA - same thing happened to me when I said 'oh crap' and deleted something. You might want to check it again to make sure your point total is correct -or pull out a calculator. But take heart, making a character is literally the most complicated part of the system.)

Hello there, new person!
Yeah I would redo the character sheet. It looks like you were adding points into the Brown box instead of the Green. Don't put anything into that – only put things into the Green box. The rest will be automatically calculated for you. Resubmit when you've done that and we can take a look at what you've got.
One other thing: there are two new skills that have been added in to the game but not updated on the character sheet generator (yes Pete I'm looking at you) – Direction Sense and Alcohol/Drug Tolerance. Feel free to put points into those if you would like as with any other skill.
Parkour and Interrogation are obsolete and no longer being used. Don't put points into those (didn't check if you had or not, just letting you know).

I did the same thing with the brown boxes. Damn you brown boxes!
Also, stuff with a blank line after it (Boating and Heavy Wpns), you'll want to specify what type. For example: Sailboat and Rocket Launcher.

Cool. Making a character for the very first time is a PITA but once you've done it a couple times you can knock one up in about 10 minutes - assuming you know what you want. With this sort of system (not a lot of boundaries) figuring out what you want to play is often the hardest part.
