PHASE ONE (BACKGROUND):
52.
Events: My father was a simple mechanic. I grew up in his garage,
53.
working on engines mostly. It quickly became apparent that I had a
54.
knack for mechanics.At the age of 7, build my first steam engine from
55.
scratch. By the age of 10, I had created a small explosive device,
56.
doing no serious damage except to the neighbors cat, whose tail got
57.
caught in the blast. I quickly learned the concepts behind shaped
58.
charges, and was paid handsomely by a local demolition company to help
59.
them with their explosives.

65.
PHASE TWO (THE GREAT WAR):
66.
Events: Early on, worked with father to help build trucks for the
67.
war. Two months in, I completed plans for an amphibious hovercraft. I
68.
was "asked" by the government to join a top-secret research team to
69.
develop new weapons. Everyone else on the team was three time my
70.
age. Nothing we designed was ever actually put into production. It was
71.
there that I went from a purely mechanical background to gaining a
72.
full understanding of electricity, and the many ways it could be put
73.
to use. Towards the end of the war, I began design of a death ray
74.
based on the principles of electrically-generated light and
75.
high-powered lenses.
76.

Aspect 1: Catchphrase

Aspect 2: Putting in long hours

PHASE THREE (YOUR NOVEL):
82.
Events: When his young friend is killed by an international criminal
83.
organization out to steal the plans for his death ray, <NAME> gives up
84.
designing weapons, and dedicates his life to creating tools to improve
85.
human life, starting with the inventions he needs to track down and
86.
destroy the plans to his death ray. From clearing the dense jungles of
87.
the amazon, to cooling himself for a long treck through the desert,
88.
<NAME> has a gadget for any job... but will it be enough?

13.
Razor Tongue
14.
The artist has a way with words, and knows how to craft
15.
the most exquisite insults. Whenever making a social
16.
roll that uses such words, he may automatically
17.
complement the effort with his Art skill – this is
18.
particularly potent when complementing Intimidation to
19.
get a rise out of someone, and in such a case, grants
20.
an additional +1 regardless of the level of skill.
21.
Brawler
22.
You’re at home in any big old burly brawl, with multiple
23.
opponents and ideally some beer in you.
24.
Whenever you are personally outnumbered in a fight
25.
(i.e., when someone gets to attack you at a bonus due
26.
to a numerical advantage) your defense rolls with Fists
27.
are at +1. When fighting two or more minions, you deal
28.
one additional stress on a successful hit.
29.
Shot on the Run
30.
The character is light on his feet with a gun in his hand, able to keep
31.
the gunplay going while evading attempts to harm him.
32.
This character may use Guns as a defense skill against physical attacks;
33.
normally, Guns cannot be used defensively.
34.
Feel the Burn
35.
The character can push through incredible pain in order to reach
36.
his goal. The character can take one extra moderate, physical
37.
consequence (see page XX) before moving on to a severe physical
38.
consequence, allowing him to take a total of four consequences
39.
in a physical conflict.
40.
Death Defiance
41.
If the character is ever taken out away from the view of other characters
42.
and death appears imminent, certain, or absolute, (such as from dropping
43.
off a cliff, apparently failing to escape from an exploding building and
44.
so on) then coincidence will conspire to keep the character alive. This
45.
stunt does not protect the character from dying “on camera”.
46.

47.
The player then spends half of his remaining fate points, rounded
48.
up (he must have at least one to do this), and may watch play and think
49.
of a good explanation for how he survived.
50.

51.
Once he has a story, he may re-enter play in any subsequent scene in
52.
as dramatic a fashion as he sees fit, with all of his physical stress
53.
cleared and a single consequence to reflect the dangers survived.

Background:
78.
Early Life;
79.
Richard Muggach Menzies Longington was born to Irene Morag Menzies
80.
and Tarquin Matthew Longington (esq.) The two of whom had a passionate affair
81.
whilst Irene was working as a maid on the Longington estate. The two eloped
82.
on the Scottish border, as is the fashion. Being a charactaristically
83.
strong lass from the highlands, Irene convinced Tarquin to discuss a starting
84.
sum of his farther to move back into the countryside village of Edzell.
85.
Sir Longington agreed, on the condition that he was subsequently disinherited
86.
and was never to contact him again.
87.
And so, Dick grew up in a quiet village with just enough money to get by. This
88.
meant that as soon as he was old enough to go to school, he was helping farm,
89.
and as soon as he could lift a till, he was plowing fields, making him rather
90.
more built than the common boy of his age.
91.
As an only child, he sought others to socialise with, developing rather early
92.
due to his mothers morningly hearty porridge, served with the traditional tablespoon
93.
of salt coupled with farming responsibilities. As part of this, he became savvy
94.
with the girls around him at a younger age and had what his mother describes as a
95.
"Good Scottish tounge in his head". A side effect of this is that he wasn't as
96.
acidemically gifted as others, though maintaining just enough smarts to skate by.
97.
Further, his reputation as a charmer lead indirectly to many a fight with other boys
98.
of his age, making him a bit of a scrapper.
99.

100.
The Great War;
101.
Whilst Tarquin was disinhereted and too old for frontline war, he pleded with his father
102.
to pull strings that would afford Dick a less dangerous position. Begrugingly, as
103.
the only namesake of the Longington name, he granted his wish; pulling stings to
104.
get Dick officer training. He was noted for wearing the ceremonial kilt
105.
of his regiment, complete with flashes and Skindoo into a charge, and bringing back 60% of his troop.
106.
It was at this celebration that the mysterious MI6 opprative, Fists McCoy introduced himself,
107.
suggesting that Dick was of great interest, though he was missing an additional skillset that
108.
would make him indispensible, urging him train him in the art of fist fighting using the Queensbery
109.
rules. Tragically, Dick recieved news that Fists was stabbed by someone in a fist duel
110.
and has vowed to avenge him one day.

The Centurians are called in by the mayor of New York
115.
