==Main stuff==
===Skill Pyramid===
:+5 Superb: Athletics
:+4 Great: Might, Leadership
:+3 Good: Guns, Alertness, Fists
:+2 Fair: Intimidation, Rapport, Weapons, Resolve
:+1 Average: Art, Drive, Survival, Contact, Endurance
===Stunts===
====Herculean Strength====
The character is incredibly strong, capable of lifting great weights. All weight-based difficulties that don’t involve combat are reduced by two steps. See page XX for more on weights.

====Brawler====
You’re at home in any big old burly brawl, with multiple
opponents and ideally some beer in you.
Whenever you are personally outnumbered in a fight
(i.e., when someone gets to attack you at a bonus due
to a numerical advantage) your defense rolls with Fists
are at +1. When fighting two or more minions, you deal
one additional stress on a successful hit.
====Shot on the Run====
The character is light on his feet with a gun in his hand, able to keep
the gunplay going while evading attempts to harm him.
This character may use Guns as a defense skill against physical attacks;
normally, Guns cannot be used defensively.
====Feel the Burn====
The character can push through incredible pain in order to reach
his goal. The character can take one extra moderate, physical
consequence (see page XX) before moving on to a severe physical
consequence, allowing him to take a total of four consequences
in a physical conflict.
====Death Defiance====
If the character is ever taken out away from the view of other characters
and death appears imminent, certain, or absolute, (such as from dropping
off a cliff, apparently failing to escape from an exploding building and so on)
then coincidence will conspire to keep the character alive. This
stunt does not protect the character from dying “on camera”.
The player then spends half of his remaining fate points, rounded
up (he must have at least one to do this), and may watch play and think
of a good explanation for how he survived.

Once he has a story, he may re-enter play in any subsequent scene in
as dramatic a fashion as he sees fit, with all of his physical stress
cleared and a single consequence to reflect the dangers survived.
===Aspects===
:Smooth Talker
:Man Mountain
:Obnoxious Powercharge!
:An Officer and a Barbarian
:Fists of Fury
:Nerves of Steel

==History==
===Early Life===
Richard Muggach Menzies Longington was born to Irene Morag Menzies
and Tarquin Matthew Longington (esq.) The two of whom had a passionate affair
whilst Irene was working as a maid on the Longington estate. The two eloped
on the Scottish border, as is the fashion. Being a charactaristically
strong lass from the highlands, Irene convinced Tarquin to discuss a starting
sum of his farther to move back into the countryside village of Edzell.
Sir Longington agreed, on the condition that he was subsequently disinherited
and was never to contact him again.
And so, Dick grew up in a quiet village with just enough money to get by. This
meant that as soon as he was old enough to go to school, he was helping farm,
and as soon as he could lift a till, he was plowing fields, making him rather
more built than the common boy of his age.
As an only child, he sought others to socialise with, developing rather early
due to his mothers morningly hearty porridge, served with the traditional tablespoon
of salt coupled with farming responsibilities. As part of this, he became savvy
with the girls around him at a younger age and had what his mother describes as a
"Good Scottish tounge in his head". A side effect of this is that he wasn't as
acidemically gifted as others, though maintaining just enough smarts to skate by.
Further, his reputation as a charmer lead indirectly to many a fight with other boys
of his age, making him a bit of a scrapper.

===The Great War===
Whilst Tarquin was disinhereted and too old for frontline war, he pleded with his father
to pull strings that would afford Dick a less dangerous position. Begrugingly, as
the only namesake of the Longington name, he granted his wish; pulling stings to
get Dick officer training. He was noted for wearing the ceremonial kilt
of his regiment, complete with flashes and Skindoo into a charge, and bringing back 60% of his troop.
It was at this celebration that the mysterious MI6 opprative, Fists McCoy introduced himself,
suggesting that Dick was of great interest, though he was missing an additional skillset that
would make him indispensible, urging him train him in the art of fist fighting using the Queensbery
rules. Tragically, Dick recieved news that Fists was stabbed by someone in a fist duel
and has vowed to avenge him one day.

==Novels==
===Dick Longington in The Lethal Game!===
The Centurians are called in by the mayor of New York
to combat a violent Irish mob in downtown but quickly learn
that they are pawns in a very lethal game!

:+1 Average: Art, Drive, Survival, Contact, Endurance
===Stunts===
====Razor Tongue====
The artist has a way with words, and knows how to craft
the most exquisite insults. Whenever making a social
roll that uses such words, he may automatically
complement the effort with his Art skill – this is
particularly potent when complementing Intimidation to
get a rise out of someone, and in such a case, grants
an additional +1 regardless of the level of skill.
====Brawler====
You’re at home in any big old burly brawl, with multiple

==History==
===Early Life===
My father was a simple mechanic. I grew up in his garage,
working on engines mostly. It quickly became apparent that I had a
knack for mechanics.At the age of 7, build my first steam engine from
scratch. By the age of 10, I had created a small explosive device,
doing no serious damage except to the neighbors cat, whose tail got
caught in the blast. I quickly learned the concepts behind shaped
charges, and was paid handsomely by a local demolition company to help
them with their explosives.

===The Great War===
Early on, worked with father to help build trucks for the
war. Two months in, I completed plans for an amphibious hovercraft. I
was "asked" by the government to join a top-secret research team to
develop new weapons. Everyone else on the team was three time my
age. Nothing we designed was ever actually put into production. It was
there that I went from a purely mechanical background to gaining a
full understanding of electricity, and the many ways it could be put
to use. Towards the end of the war, I began design of a death ray
based on the principles of electrically-generated light and
high-powered lenses.

==Novels==
===Eugene Wrenchley and The Gaget to Remember!===
When his young friend is killed by an international criminal
organization out to steal the plans for his death ray, Eugene gives up
designing weapons, and dedicates his life to creating tools to improve
human life, starting with the inventions he needs to track down and
destroy the plans to his death ray. From clearing the dense jungles of
the amazon, to cooling himself for a long treck through the desert,
Eugene has a gadget for any job... but will it be enough?
