A "GM trick" I've seen recently (though not for the first time), and one I really wish I'd thought of myself, comes from a one-shot game being run with pre-generated characters. In addition to the brief two-sentence background for the character, each has a three-point list of reasons why a player should want to play that character. Thus, without needing the player to understand anything about the mechanics of the game, it becomes easy for the players to select their character from the list provided. Very neat.
And that's all, really. Sometimes, everything that needs said can be said quickly!
