For the next section of the project I want to share several examples of the use of the Mythic Fate Chart.
Rather than just inventing scenarios, I plan to actually play a few hours of the sample character, Mr. Quin, and then lift the examples from that session.
I feel examples from a real play session will better demonstrate the versatility of the system than hypothetical examples would (and I am eager to get to know Mr. Quin as well).
So, I am going to drop both a copy of Mr. Quin, and the Fate Chart here to refer back to, as we move forward, to avoid to much clutter on the topic pages.
To those if you still following this project, thank you.

"Jack Quinton, professionally known as Mr. Quin, is a mechanical genius, and once a major designer for [mega-corp name redacted], before in a moment of foolishness, he backed the wrong horse in an intra-corporate power play, that not only left him out of work, but with a mark on his head. So, like many persons of talent, too useful to murder, but too dangerous for society, he now makes a living on the Fringe, as a designer/fabricator of useful thing, and when necessary a mercenary.
Along with the loss of status, came a loss of youthful naivety, and Quin now watches the intrigues of the major players like a krill harvester watches the sky for danger and opportunity, or maybe like a big stakes gambler: looking for danger and opportunity.
While a man of questionable ethics on the grand scale, he has a lot of feeling on the small scale and does what he can to make the life of other Fringers, less onerous, while at the same time taking every chance can to get small digs back at the man who cost him his old life. If offered a chance tomorrow to return to the archology and be nested back in the bosom of [mega-corp name redacted], he would like to think he would tell them to go to hell, but considering that luxury today, is a block of pressed krill that has been certified by the Food Safety Board, he isn't sure he could resist. Not that it matters anyway. Nobody gets off the Fringe."
