## Origin

Thibault Beaudouin was born into relative wealth at the heart of Paris. The only son of a music composer and an acclaimed writer, he grew up surrounded by creatives and free-thinkers. At the age of 10 their mother passed away, leaving the family devastated. their father continued to care for Thibault, feeding their passion for the arts and helping to develop him into an intelligent teenager. He showed a skill in fashion designer and planned to develop their career in the field. In the background, their father struggled to continue their lifestyle without the income of their mother (the more successful of the couple).

At the age of 18, Thibault's father was arrested and charged with an array of financial crimes and tax avoidance schemes. He was sentenced to a lengthy jail sentence and the family home and assets were dissolved. Thibault was taken in by friends who supported him on the traumatic events. No longer having financial backing from their father; Thibault was forced to take a job as a sales associate at a luxury department store in the city, Florilège. Although never taking their past privilege for granted, this new life path weighed heavy on Thibault's heart. Over time they became a much more reserved and quiet personality; choosing to live their life quietly rather than follow their desire of fashion design.

## Chance Encounter

Everything changed for Thibault in just one day. Whilst working a morning shift at Florilège, the store was attacked by a random group of goblins. Thibault was caught in the crossfire of the attack, being assaulted by the vicious creatures on their rampage. Dazed by the attack, Thibault could feel some strange abilities developing in their body. Somehow interacting with the otherworldly creatures had given him access to latent powers. Although injured, their powers gave them insight into what the goblins actually wanted - precious stones and diamonds. They managed to cut the goblins off before they could attack more colleagues and then used their powers to subdue the creatures before they were captured.

Unknown to Thibault, the event had been recorded by crowds of people outside of the store windows. Across social media, people were obsessing over the heroic actions of the mystery sales associate; embracing their very own superhero. Thibault fled the scene and returned home, feeling uneasy about the media attention that was starting to track him down. Within hours, crowds of people surrounded their apartment and their public information was shared across the media.

## Escape

Thibault spent days trapped inside their apartment, confused about what they could do next. On top of everything, their new powers were still activating, causing physical and mental discomfort. Although they had destroyed their phone to stop the constant calls; it soon started to speak to him in a soft voice. She introduced herself as Hao Yi, and offered them a safe way out of the apartment. Thibault reluctantly agreed, not seeing any other option. Within seconds, he was teleported out of their apartment and into an advanced shuttle hovering over the building. Hao would introduce herself in person, alongside Eliana Pia. The pair offered him a place on a new initiative called Global Faction. Initially hesitant - Thibault agreed once they shared the financial compensation they would receive - seeing this as a way to free their father from wrongful imprisonment. Thibault was given the codename Prophétie and became the fifth member of the fledging team.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

With objects, they gain knowledge including the makers, users, and even those who have on passing used the object, and what has been done with it. With living beings or parts of the body, the user learns their general life-history but doesn't gain anything of what they were thinking or feeling.

### Restrictions

This power is difficult to control, meaning too much physical contact can cause serious mental harm for the user.
