I think it's how much closer it brings you to 6. So if you go over, it uses the negative, and if you go under, it uses the positive.
Basically this.
I made a few edits and changes to the char sheet, and about the stat sheet, you might want to make a few changes to it as I'm kinda lost with the "+2-1 full bonus applied" stuff, also, Lime Green.

Name: Gunther Kropp
Physical age: 44
Race: Human
Description: A rather imposing figure, standing a good 1.85 meters tall, he sports a bushy, well kept beard and a short hair, both blond. His eye colour is anyone's guess, as he sports two cybernetic eye replacements. He also sports a cybernetic right arm and shoulder, both are of an older design, so no fancy synthskin or anything, just good old gunmetal grey.
Gunther has spend most of his life doing mercenary work in some company or another, never staying in one place for too long. While he does have a general code of conduct, anything other cold blooded murder of civilians can be bought for enough moolah. Having some of his body parts replaced with cybernetics has made him quite adept in maintaining mechanical aparatus. He sometimes claims that the cybernetics sing to him.
Name: Gunther Kropp
Equipped Weapons: Retractable blade in cybernetic arm.
Hidden gun in cybernetic arm (hand flips upward to reveal barrel, must be reloaded after each shot, which requires flipping the hand back down, opening the top part of the arm, getting the blade out of the way and then inserting the cartridge. interchangeble barrel sizes. Currently sporting the 14.5 mm anti tank rifle round.)
High caliber pistol: nicknamed hyacinth. (8 shots per magazine, .454 casull. must use cybernetic arm to shoot without hurting self.))
Equipped Gear: Regular combat clothing (boots, pants, nice sweater, standard military grade clothing.won't help against getting shot, but nice and comfortable))
Flak Jacker (Chest protection against small arms fire and shrapnel)
Inventory: Arm cannon ammo. Assorted mechanical tools. Packet of gum. standard first aid kit. MP3 player or spacey equivalent.
Skills:
Standard firearms: Gunther has had some training with standard firearms like pistols, shotguns and assault rifles.
Melee brawling: He isn't going to be jumping around like some martial artist, but he knows how to handle himself in a fistfight. Having a blade inside of your arm tends to help.
Operating vehicles: Gunther's job in the mercenary teams he was in was often driving metal boxes into the thick of battle. Cars, tanks and mech suits are nothing new to him. He has piloted a shuttle or two in his time, but isn't nearly as good at flying those things as he is at piloting metal boxes and mechsuits.
Repairs: He has become adept at repairing mechanical things, as he himself needs regular maintenace as well.
Military freak: Gunther has the ability to memorize anything that has to do with the military, resulting in him being able to recall all kinds of details about guns and other machines of war. Things like how to reroute a laser battery so it fires it's entire battery load in one shot, wrecking the battery or what the dog of the inventor of his own .454 pistol was called are no exception to this.
Abilities: cybernetic man: More endurance and strength than your average human, though due to old versions of his cybernetics also somewhat less flexible.
Grumpy: in a perpetual grumpy mood
Songs of the ghost in the shell: (thinks he) can hear the spirit of machines singing to him. has quite the connection to all things mechanical.
Other: cybernetic arm and shoulder, packs quite a punch, vise like grip.
Cybernetic eyes: zoom function along with different vision modes such has heat, infrared, etc.
That should do it, please do tell me if I frakked something up
Approved, I'll balance and flesh out a bit.
Name: Ska'Ran
Physical age: 1050
Race: Ter'San, a race of humanoid creatures whose face is situated on their torso. They are musuclar and relatively big, though the position of their head makes them look smaller. They have several large fangs in their mouth, and clawed hands. They are usually friendly, though mistrusting.
Description: A large specimen of his kind, with brown skin and red eyes. He is particularly mistrusting and paranoid, looking around every corner for threats to his well being. Ska'Ran wears bronze armor scavenged from a war in which he fought. The armor is rusty, but has jagged spikes that can be used to impale enemies.
Name: Skaran

-Cra'Lga Revolving Missile Cannon (On left shoulder, fires small anti-personell missiles, 6 shots before reloading.)
-Kor'Daxian Energy Blaster (On right shoulder, fires blasts of energy at enemies, has a battery that requires recharging every once in a while.)
Equipped Gear: -Rusted Ter'San War Armor (Has spikes that can damage enemies if they get close enough, but is rusted and isn't as good at protecting the user as proper armor.)
Inventory:
-Ammo Belt (Ammo Belt fitted with missiles for his Missile Cannon.)
-Rations (A box of rations which Ska'Ran brings with himself, as a habit from being a soldier.)
Skills:
-Combat (+3)
-Engineering and Repairs (+2)
Abilities:
-Natural Weapons (Clawed hands . +2 to attacking bare handed)
Should be all. Hopefully the race is alright, cause otherwise I just spent about 10 minutes for nothing. 
No spike damage unless yo want a roll every turn for seeing if you accidentally stab yourself or an ally or embed yourself in a wall or something.
Gonna nerf the missile launcher, that is too big of a weapon for early game, you'll get a las rifle instead.
Energy blaster is gonna nerf also, a high powered weapon will occasional recharge time? No, it will have shit battery life or be a weaker weapon, you can choose.
Chose which nerf you want for the energy blaster and I'll flesh out and balance the rest.
Otherwise approved.
Edited. Lemme know if I need to change anything.
Character Sheet:

Description: A slightly short, friendly woman with shoulder-length black hair. Lily is quite tan, and virtually always wears a purple t-shirt with pictures of random eldritch abominations and a pair of black shorts - she just doesn't do formal clothing!

Her family was kept under the protection of one of the city's most notorious gangs, a sadistic group of cannibals, due to their extensive knowledge of explosives. Lily began learning to make them at the age of seven, and at fifteen she began carrying out raids on various warehouses. She recently snuck onto a ship after the death of her family, and ended up at the bar... The last of her explosives were used to rig the ship to explode when it gets back to Ochryke.
