Using the pattern

While Characteristics naturally is part of Characters, the pattern can also be used to characterize Abstract Player Constructs.

Typical parts of Characteristics is Attributes, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Powers. As their names imply, Character Alignments, Character Classes, and Character Levels are more applicable on Characters as is Skills.

race

Equipment is typically not seen as part of Characteristics but this can vary, even within one game. For example, "Signature Gear" is an Advantage in GURPS that allows players to have items (including Tools and Weapons) that are more coupled to a Character concept, and thereby have some protection against being lost compared to other Equipment.
