Basically this.
Just try to keep in mind that skills are nice and all, but that in the end they are there to roll in applicable situations, so try to have skills that are at least somewhat generalized while still fitting your character.

Aspects can almost literally be whatever you want (except a skill I suppose), a lifestyle, a character trait, something physical, an experience, a contact. Finding situations in which they are relevant is pretty easy with some creativity whatever you choose.

I was being quite literal actually.
There isn't a list where you choose things from, you can pick anything you want as long as it is a skill.

You think up a backstory, then you pick whatever things you want to use to describe the different parts of that back story (as aspects) and then you pick whatever skills you want that make sense with that story.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the rules for magic users, because those require some specific aspects/skills.

Now, if you have an idea in mind and don't know what aspects/skills should go with it you can just post it here and people could suggest things for that.

Jiffy: it's horrifically, almost painfully, open-ended. Look at some of the sheets at the beginning of the thread.

I had it all done and I went to post but I had auto-logged-out in the time, and when I hit the back button on my browser I was S.O.L., it was all gone.

Like 3 fucking hours of work and all sorts of well-written paragraphs and shit, not to mention slightly better balanced during level ups than the current one.

But I swear to god if anyone tells me to fix it, I will find them, and
literally
strangle them to death. I am
never
fucking doing this again.

Ummm...not to be that guy but you do realize you have built a modern character for a fantasy pre-industrial RP, right?

Not to mention your aspects are ENTIRELY uninvokable. At what point would you ever go "Ah, Octave, Perfect 8th (A, A) is very relevant to this roll." or would a DM ever go "Well, one of your aspects is Octave, Perfect 8th (A, A), so I'm going to force you to conform to it and give you a fate point."
