Archetype Features:

Basic Moves: unleash an attack; escape a situation; persuade an npc; figure someone out; mislead, distract, or trick; keep your cool; let it out

You can always use let it out to extend your supernatural senses, but Psychometry and Skim the Surface allow you to ask specific questions without risking corruption. If none of the questions from either of those two moves work, you can use Empath or let it out to get your answers.

Faction Moves: hit the streets; put a face to a name; investigate a place of power

Archetype Moves:
[x] Foretellings: At the beginning of the session, roll with Spirit. During the session, you can spend your hold to declare that something terrible is about to happen. You (and your allies) take +1 ongoing to avoid the impending disaster.
On a 10+, hold 2.
On a 7-9, hold 1.
On a miss, you foresee the death of someone important to you and take -1 to all rolls to prevent it.

When you spend hold from Foretellings, you’re not necessarily guaranteeing that thing will happen; you’re giving yourself and your allies the chance to act before the thing comes to pass. If you’re hiding from a vampire assassin, for example, you might spend your hold to say, "She’s going to find me," and take a +1 ongoing to attempts to escape before she notices you or unleash an attack on her when she gets close.

[x] Psychometry: Whenever you study and examine an interesting object, roll with Spirit. You ask questions about the object:
What is the history of this object?
What bans, wards, or limits are attached to this object?
Where does this object belong?
What secrets or mysteries has this object been privy to?
What strong emotions have most recently been near this object?

On a 10+, ask 3.
On a 7-9, ask 1:
On a miss, the emotion of the object overwhelms you and you take -1 ongoing for the scene.

[ ] Double Life: Take Mortality as a second Faction. When someone rolls with or marks your Faction, tell them which one is most appropriate.
Choosing Double Life means that you maintain a mortal identity in addition to your known supernatural dealings. When someone rolls with or marks your Faction, you get to select which Faction you think is the right Faction for that situation.

[ ] Conduit: Advance let it out for all characters in your presence, including yourself.

[x] Skim the Surface: When you touch someone, you can read their surface thoughts. Roll with Spirit.
What is your character thinking about right now?
Who are you protecting?
Why are you keeping secrets?
What is your character’s hidden pain?
On a 10+, ask 3.
On a 7–9, ask 1:
On a miss, you inflict 1-harm (ap) on them and yourself.

[ ] At Any Cost: When you interfere with someone’s plans or actions to prevent one of your visions from coming true, mark their Faction and take +1 forward

Drama Moves:
Corruption Move: When you give someone a false prophecy, mark corruption.
Intimacy Move: When you share a moment of intimacy—physical or emotional—with another person, you gain a specific and clear vision about that person’s future. You can ask up to 3 questions about the vision; mark corruption for each.
End Move: When you die or retire your character, announce a proclamation upon the world that will reverberate in dreams worldwide. Detail the signs of its coming. The MC will make your prophecy come to pass, sooner rather than later.

Other/Notes (+1 ongoing or forward, holds, etc.)

Je laisse juste un point de départ ici. Je le modifierai plus tard. Je n'ai aucune idée de ce que la plupart des choses signifient, mais je fais avec :D L'idée est de jouer un oracle islandais et membre d'un mouvement néopaïen. Il a sa propre chose religieuse animiste avec les elfes, Aesi et Gaia se joignant au mélange
Just leaving a starting point here. I'll edit it later. I have no clue what most things mean, but I'll just go with it :D The idea is to play an icelandic oracle and member of a neo-pagan movement. He has his own animistic religious thing going with elves, Aesi and Gaia throwing into the mix

Son of an Icelandic farmer that received his first vision as a teenager, which drove him to undertake a pilgrimage walking to the Þingvellir. Whatever happened there, convinced him to join the Ásatrúarfélagið. His vision of a mountain of fire and a dark sky cracked by lightning on the first day of 2010 gaining him the title of oracle for the fellowship after the Eyjafjallajökull's eruption. Recently, his efforts culminated in the location of a sacred artefact of Þór in Helgafell. While looking at the sea, he saw Leif's viking longbow sailing west, triggering a number of dreams that lead him to fly to Montréal.

Landed at the end of the first storm. Given that neither english nor french is a main language in Iceland (though they probably all speak english) and that I'm basically a farm boy in the big city, the Wiccans fixed me a quick job working as a wondering fortuneteller and sorcerer doing palm reading, tarot cards, coffee readings, cheap illusions and so on. The idea was to use my skills and hobbies to get on my feet, but I probably earned quite a quick reputation given my Psychometry and Skim the Surface moves ;)

Visions are prophetic and sacred and must be interpreted. They are the anima of the world crying out for help as the wall of time crumbles. Since most visions are a deluge of raw information, coping involves careful reading of further signs, the stars, the cards, rituals, séances. It is a run to find the occulted answers before it is too late.

The nightmares usually involve otherworldly locations full of dark creatures whispering and plotting. Mostly they are nothing but flashes of unchronological and senseless events, carrying a sense of hopelessness, weightlessness and spiralling sensation as if he was caught in a uncontrollable time spiral.

I will have some friends within the local Wiccan community, which I integrated when I landed in Montréal. Everyone else would be back in Iceland. I guess all the occult arts will be my hobby.

The cape is a modern but the runes are ancient viking runes

If asked, I’ll say they were a gift from Úlfljótr himself during the first Alþingi (playing a bit on the "time wizard" concept) found after the first vision

They thought it was some teenager fantasy sort of game. Being apparently harmless they did not oppose and since paganism is officially recognised, they are still a bit unsure, but supportive

The Ásatrúarfélagið is an Icelandic religious organisation of heathenry which includes anything really. Wiccans may be part of these fellowship, but it is broader than that. They have 4473 (1.32% of the population), being the largest non-Christian religious organisation They have started building the first pagan temple for nearly 1000 years or so apparently.

Wiki says there are about 700 Wiccans in Québec, most of which in Montréal, so I thought that would be a nice connection. A nice community, but not too many they'd be everywhere.
I guess the relationship with some of them is good, since they sheltered me but, like with everything, it would be interesting if I was to be unwelcome by some of the local Wiccan witches and sorcerers. Maybe they just feel threatened by my powers, maybe they think I’m a fake, maybe there is a feeling I will disturb their order... or maybe there is something deeper at play

Suzhen resorted to all means to find the missing husband. We met when she entered my fortune teller tent, from which we developeda good working relationship or friendship thereafter.

Given that my visions and nightmares don't have to be just about the future, or they may need knowledge of some obscure past events to interpret. I have been consulting Suzhen about her memories of her past lives to draw from some of the hidden knowledge Suzhen possesses as well as consulting dragon scrolls, old records and other ancient artifacts she has access to.

I saw Toby and stay dead. I have not met him yet, but it happened in Montréal (maybe in the Office de la Langue Française 😈) , so I know he will be here and I must prevent his death to keep the spiritual balance of the land and streghten the ley lines.

I'm missing this debt which could be for Édouard. Not sure what would be the vamp's potential to unlock here... What do you think about the meeting idea:
* Édouard may have sold me a crappy car and we got into that award situation where I'm reading his mind and getting this weird vibes from the car and he is screening my emotions...
* Alternatively, Édouard may have been re-born (or done something) with or within the car, and when I bought it I had visions of him.
