1. A computer-implemented method for updating a character profile of a virtual character of a telematics-based game, the method comprising:
generating, based at least in part upon the character profile of the virtual character, one or more virtual occurrences to be encountered by the virtual character;
determining, based at least in part upon a plurality of virtual ratings of the virtual character, one or more outcomes associated with the one or more virtual occurrences;
generating a virtual trip including the one or more virtual occurrences with the one or more outcomes;
determining, based at least in part upon the one or more outcomes, a trip success prediction of the virtual character completing the virtual trip;
determining, based at least in part upon the one or more outcomes, a predicted change in vehicle condition of a virtual vehicle, the predicted change in the vehicle condition being indicative of a degree of damage to be sustained by the virtual vehicle during the virtual trip;
presenting the trip success prediction, the predicted change in the vehicle condition, a first user-selectable command, and a second user-selectable command to a user;
upon receiving the user's selection of the first user-selectable command, updating the character profile by at least initiating the virtual trip with the virtual character and updating a vehicle condition of the virtual vehicle based on the predicted change in the vehicle condition;
upon receiving the user's selection of the second user-selectable command:
updating the one or more outcomes according to a predetermined adjustment; and
updating the character profile by at least initiating the virtual trip with the virtual character based on the one or more outcomes, as updated; and
presenting the character profile, as updated, to the user, including presenting the vehicle condition, as updated, of the virtual vehicle.
