Character Creation Guide
Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition
Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition
Character creation options are spread around a growing number of books: Core Rulebook and Traveller Companion cover most of it, but Alien volumes and other supplements add significant amount of options for polities other than Imperium, as well as species and subspecies.
I've looked into creating a spreadsheet to help with chargen, but it got ugly and confusing very fast. So, take your preferred character sheet and get to it old school. This just saves you from the page flipping.
Or you can go and use RPGSuite. Its affiliated with Mongoose, but their software makes the rolls for you, which I didn't like. Also its expensive.
Official character sheet: colored printable and form-fillable versions
Official Extended character sheet: colored printable version (has boxes for all the extra characteristics from companion!)

Modified character sheet by Gazelle Games: DrivethruRPG page (pay what you want, has printable and fillable versions)

Digital Character Sheet by J.Brannen: Google Sheet (copy to your drive to use)
RPGSuite character sheet application: download link (made in unity, has lots of blows and whistles, paywalled)
I cant say any of the character sheets above is perfect, either they are colored or support only basic set of characteristics, but hope at least one of them serves the purpose for your table. If you have any sheet to offer, ping me on Discord (Heartwarder#4651).
If you are fresh off the bus, watch this YouTube series by Seth Skorkowsky, particularly on the subject of character creation.
If you are already familiar with the basic system, but want to explore options, go to Options.
If you want to get right to it and make a character go to Checklist. tbd
