Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

I Don't Like This, Not One Bit [...]
If something feels off, it is. If it doesn’t feel off, it means you missed it.
Zero was born suspicious. He came into the world squinting at the doctor like the man owed him money, and it’s only gotten worse from there. Every twitch, every hesitation, every half-second delay in someone’s response—it all feeds into the ever-spinning gears of Zero’s mind. This isn’t just paranoia; it’s a razor-sharp instinct honed by experience and necessity. Zero notices what others dismiss—the too-clean alley in a dirty neighborhood, the nervous twitch of a dealer whose product’s been cut wrong, the way a room’s energy shifts just before someone pulls a gun. When he walks into a place, he clocks every exit, every blind spot, every potential weapon. He knows when he’s being watched. More importantly, he knows when he’s being set up. Maybe it’s supernatural. Maybe he’s just seen too much. But whatever it is, when Zero mutters, “I don’t like this, not one bit,” smart people listen. The dumb ones? Well, they find out why he was right the hard way.

Providence
The union of essence enhances what once was mundane flesh, unlocking its hidden potential in ways one cannot foresee.
Whenever the gift user reacts to an ambush perpetrated against them, a wispy, blurry, illusory corona with an eldritch undertone can be observed around the user's head. The blur is of a gradient from crimson to perfectly clear, and the color is mostly only visible in close proximity to the silhouette of the user. Only the attacker is able to see this corona - everyone else is oblivious to its existence.

Gets the Scoop
*Blink Blink* "Yeah, that'll be in my nightmares later."
After the events of Game I, Booh's internal mechanisms began to experience a peculiar change. He felt the definition of his memory increasing exponentially, the increased speed of his processing making his body feel sluggish, the faces and expressions of people becoming more distinct... The force of the change was enough to leave him with a eye-splitting headache for a week, doing no more than responding to emails in the dark of his room, computer screen as dim as it would go.
Once he was up and walking again, Booh saw the world even more clearly than he did before. Colors more vivid than life itself, barraged with images that wouldn't leave the forefront of his mind without substantial effort. Given his new line of work, he was fearful for what might come next. He knew only one thing-- He *would* get the scoop, even if that meant scarring himself in the process.
