| |
| 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.
| |
| 60.

| |
| Aspect 2: Explosive Troublemaker
| |

| |
|
| |
| 64.
| |
|
| |
| 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.

| |
| 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?

| 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.
