Winter

Background

Winter was a beat cop, out of the academy for a few years. One night, he left work a little early so he could surprise his wife on their anniversary. He came home to find his house torn apart and his wife and infant son strangled. The sheer randomness of such a life-changing event caused him to Awake to the Realm of Arcadia, to the Arcana of Fate and Time. No evidence was ever found to pin it on a suspect, and he soon took the detective’s test to transfer to homicide while he learned from his mentor about his new life as a mage.

Mage Sight

• Temporal Eddies: Winter's Time-based Mage Sight filters visual input through the events of his life, as if everything he has ever done has led to this moment. Images of time (clocks, calendars, the buzzing of alarms or tolling of bells) twist and merge with the perception. Much of this input is based on memories associated with such events in his past.

Unseen Senses

When Winter's Unseen Senses trigger, he gets a sharp pain in an old gunshot wound in his shoulder.
