Carry Capacity is a function of STR, END and body weight:
[(S/10)^3 + (E/10)] * W/2 = Carry Cap
The formula works for both metric and imperial.
Carry Cap is just what it says -- the maximum weight one can carry and still move, so if someone's carry cap is 800 kgs or more, they can walk with it for as long as they need to. A quick glance at the rules shows that I seem to be remembering correctly that there are no rules for encumbrance or extra effort, but later this evening when I have the time I'll go through it more closely to double check.
In the mean time.... one way or another, you'll probably know your character's weight. So it's just a matter of figuring out what endurance and strength scores they need. If you're doing something with an existing fictional character, I suggest starting with Endurance, because that's a bit easier to ballpark from source material. That will then leave you with just the one variable.
EDIT: So... should this thread be moved into The Legendary, My Manager Is Not an Isekai Character, or somewhere else entirely? <grin>
