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.

Borrowed Grace
The beasts taught her. She never gave it back
Vita doesn’t run. She glides, scrambles, flows—sometimes it’s like a fox darting through mist, other times like a shadow slinking across a rooftop. Her movement is no longer just skill—it’s instinctive, animal. She's listened closely to her companions—feral, fey, and demonic alike—and learned how to move like they do. Now, the wind seems to follow her lead, and the ground forgets to make a sound beneath her.
When Vita moves, it’s like the world forgets to notice. Her feet barely touch the ground, and the air around her stirs in odd, brief ways—like something just passed, but left no trace. Surfaces that should creak stay silent, gravel shifts without crunching, and shadows seem to lean just slightly toward her, as if clearing the path. When danger strikes, there’s a whip-crack moment where she seems to vanish and reappear a few feet away, eyes sharp with predatory awareness.
This Gift isn't just agility—it’s a pact with everything wild and uncatchable. Vita has studied beasts that stalk without sound, demons that vanish with a blink, and fae who never trip on root or rail. Each movement is a love letter to those lessons. Her steps carry the memory of paws padded by magic and instinct. She doesn’t just dodge; she knows before the blade moves. She doesn’t just sprint; she moves like something that was never supposed to be seen. This is motion turned sacred.
