Never played Fate in my life so bear with me if I screw it up.
Not sure how to translate my character into the sheet, though.
High Concept : Rebel Special Operative
Trouble : Extremely paranoid. Afraid of, but not limited to, a wide range of wizards, derelict ships, derelict space stations, dark corners, underground compounds, any form of Royal research and officials. Also wanted on counts of treason, rebellion, smuggling, destruction of Royal Navy property, instigating civil unrest, and many counts of miscellaneous crimes.
Backstory : An impressionable young man, Stanley Dawson joined the Royal Space Navy and eventually came to find a place in the Navy's Special Operations Unit. The years he spent there forged him into a killing machine well versed in many forms of weaponry, but as he carried out more and more clandestine operations and his experience grew so too did he grow jaded and no longer came to believe in the same ideals as when he first enlisted. Being a realist, he kept his cynicism to himself and continued working without much question.
His last official assignment was to investigate a royal research base on some rock very far from any sort of civilization that no longer informed the Navy of its doings. Shortly after his team set out all contact was lost and they went dark for over a month. Stanley reemerged when the H.M.S. Valiant docked with the research station to investigate the team's disappearance and the fate of the station. Reports from survivors of the events that followed indicate that a madman tore through their search parties and crew until he reached Captain Augustine and, holding him hostage, herded the crew into escape barges. After which he had the captain undock and fly the ship into the station, destroying both.
What happened next was a manhunt of unprecedented proportions, Stanley resurfaced time and time again, first involved in a series of bombings which targeted officials, then in a smuggling ring which focused on moving escaped prisoners and dissidents, and finally as being heavily invested in the events that led to the rebellion and its inevitable defeat in the war of '82. After the war, Stanley decided to lay low, many believing him to have died a martyr's (or a traitor's well deserved) death in the final days of the war. He found odd jobs with smugglers, pirates, bounty hunters, and other low sorts. Always changing his name, and jumping ship at the slightest shadow of a doubt. Those that he had disappeared on would often wonder if that odd, shifty-eyed man with a thousand-yard-stare typical to those that had seen horrors which nearly broke their mind had even existed.
Crossing paths : Not sure, but seeing as my character hopped around with a bunch of crews and most of the other characters are adventuring types the paths must have crossed at some point. I will update this one if my character is ok.
