Use Cases and Connected Crunch

The following list of Use Cases has two uses: 1) to provide now players of Solar System with inspiration of how to create interesting characters within the boundaries of this scenario, 2) to guide the creation of Abilities, Keys and Secrets, as they point out what can be achieved and what sort of drama that is sought after.

• The Family Guardian: My family is in grave danger. I will protect them whatever it takes, even if it means sacrificing my own life.
• The Seducer: Behind every strong man stands a strong woman, or so the saying goes. Who the next king will be is not known, but that woman will be me.
• The Tribal Leader: As a member of a minor Bedouin tribe, I will not only protect my people but take any opportunity to lead them to victory against our nemesis, the tribe of Bani Truf, and take revenge on their leader, Negel bin Nejd.
• The Martyr: Baghdad has provided me with profound learning and a true mission. I will teach the word of the Prophet to this dark corner of Gods Earth, and lead those who have gone astray into his path. They will understand the faults of their wicked ways.
• The Adept of the Blade: I have had the opportunity to learn from one of the great masters of the civilized world, so when I return to the kingdom that saw my birth, they will learn to bow before the brilliance of my calling - the art of the sword.

Please notice that choosing one of the Use Cases isn't in any way a requirement for the players, nor selecting any of the connected crunch. They are simply here for inspiration.
