Who are you?
Victoria Louise was a Baronesse in Württemburg before the outbreak of WWI. An armature astronomer and fan of the sciences and occult alike during the Great War she found an entity who granted her secret knowledge about reality. She hides much of her legacy, ashamed of her past and spends most of her time working as a scholar for the Pointe-à-Callière Museum.

How long have you been in the city?
Victoria first fled her homeland for France soon after the signing of the treaty of Versailles, but fled to Montreal in the spring of 1939 fearing escalating political tension.

What keeps you up at night?
Victoria has witnessed mankind doing horrible things to itself, and those memories never left her. Further the guilt for her bargain lingers in the back of her mind.

What have you sacrificed for your power?
Victoria trades her family for the secrets that made her a Wizard. The creature took hold of their minds and used them as instruments of chaos. She never knew for certain but she suspects it influenced the War, and protracted it out into the bloody conquest it became.

What do you desperately need?
Knowledge, it grants her the Power, and it offers the ability to solve all problems.

@ All:
- What are your mundane obligations (if any)? Family? Job? Friends? Hobbies?
Victoria left her family along time ago, a continent away. At least those that survived the Event. She has taken to working for the Pointe-à-Callière Museum, as an accomplished scholar in a dizzying number of fields.

@ Genisisect:
- How did Victoria came upon her magical powers? What has she given up for this power? What does she desperately need (ingredients, ritual, tome of knowledge)?
I don't really have a plan for the specifics, the general idea is as follows. While studying some occult texts she struck upon an entity who promised to open her eyes to further mysteries in exchange for her influence. As it turns out her influence meant the minds of her influential family, the creature (what I envision as a Lovecraft elder being type thing) used them to do something, which Victoria still isn't quite sure what, though her families influence did end up dragging out WWI so perhaps that is what. My vision for what she needs to fuel her magic is knowledge, she needs to find the right scraps of ancient lore, and forgotten tomes to help cast her rituals, she has a series of journals which she has collected a number of common rituals in, but in story she is likely to need to acquire new knowledge to perform narrative impact spells. The only other component I see her needing is something to write with, preferably chalk for the re-usability, as in my mind her rituals involve drawing large and intricate circles/runes/etc.

What are the nightmares like?
PLAYING THE ORACLE Prophetic, blessed, cursed, intense. The Oracle is a seer, mystic, or psychic, gifted with sight beyond sight. They can see beyond the present, beyond this reality, but they cannot turn away, no matter how terrible their visions become. All around you is the truth—lying just out of reach of most mortals—but your attempts to warn off or persuade others about what’s coming for them often land on deaf ears. After all, they aren’t fools, ready to be bamboozled by the first "psychic" to walk in the door. And so you must take matters into your own hands. If those around you won’t avert the terrible future coming for them, you’ve got to get out there into the streets and make a new future, one that’s just a little brighter, one in which your visions don’t come to pass. For that kind of work, you’ll need friends and allies, other characters—PCs and NPCs—who are willing to hear you out and trust that what you’re seeing is more than a weak premonition.

A simple apartment, a crappy car, a cell phone
Prophetic Viking Runes

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

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.

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.

The specifics—beyond the options you select—of a Dark Fate curse are up to the MC. You can’t know for certain what kind of darkness you’ll inflict on your victim until you actually lay the curse upon them.

Who are you?
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.

How long have you been in the city?
Landed at the end of the first storm.

How do you cope with the visions?
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.

What are the nightmares like?
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.

What are your mundane obligations (if any)? Family? Job? Friends? Hobbies?
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.

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 ;)

So... we have a vamp, a dragon and immortal and a maybe comeback wizard ...

Someone helps you understand your dreams and visions. You owe them 2 Debts.
Yeah... I guess this would be a great one for Victoria, since she is looking for knowledge and there is a wizardry connection through neo-pagan Wiccan-like cults or so. The dragon would work, assuming she has ancient scrolls I can use to find clues in lost knowledge or the star or things like that.

You’ve had a dire prophecy about someone, but you don’t know how to help them...yet. You owe them a Debt.
What would be direst than seeing the immortal PC... die?

You are helping someone realise their true potential through your visions. They owe you a Debt
Not sure what would be the vamp's potential to unlock here, but he is the one left. It could also work for the dragon if we assume the wizard may come back and take the 1st debt
