     I've been reading this thread with interest and it seems to me that the   
   actual human/historical Jesus isn't all that hard to model.   
     Let's take a first shot, in broad strokes:   
      
     Attributes are okay; he should have a high IQ and probably decent DX and   
   ST.  His HT might be low (he died more quickly than most crucified   
   people), but you could argue he just had some bad rolls.   
     Advantages definitely include Charisma, Ally Group: Diciples & other   
   followers (including both Marys), Literacy, and Reputation: good rabbi /   
   prophet.  Voice would be nice, and you can make a case for Destiny: great   
   martyr.  He probably had at least Comfortable wealth for the setting.  If   
   allowed in the campaign, either one or two levels of Extra Life (we're   
   told he's used one already, but he's taking his time about coming back   
   again).   
     Disadvantages include Reputation: troublemaker, and possibly Destiny:   
   martyr.   
     Skills definitely include Theology (Judaic), Bard, and Streetwise.  His   
   languages are Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin; I don't know about Greek.  He   
   probably has Stealth, Running, Savoir-Faire, Leadership, Fast-Talk, and   
   PS: Carpenter.  He might have Riding (Horse/donkey) and some Area   
   Knowledge skills.  (My thanks to a previous poster who quoted verse to   
   demonstrate Jesus' talents at getting around while in trouble!)   
     Depending on the campaign he should have either Patron: YHVH or a   
   Delusion, and there's no reason the players should know which.
