A Time Walker

A Time Walker is a person who will have a vision of the future when they make physical contact with another person. This is most often seen as a curse, and the Time Walker will live a life of solitude and avoid any human contact. The stress of their condition and solitude results in a wide number of physical ailments, and most are in poor health. 

Some Time Walkers will see a future that is set and unchangeable. Others will see a future in which their own actions can result in an alternate future being played out. Still, others will see a future that can be altered, but not by the Time Walker themself. It is considered improper for a Time Walker to share their visions, but many do so because they cannot shoulder the responsibility alone.

It is unknown how a person becomes a Time Walker. It is known that a person is not born with the power, and it is not passed down from parents to their children. No one who has ever acquired the power has ever lost it prior to death. Many refused to discuss any visions of the power itself, but their lifestyles left no doubt the power remained.

Some rulers have sought out Time Walkers in an attempt to gain an advantage over an advisory or military enemy. These occasions have generally ended very badly for the ruler as the power to see the future does not tell how to best alter or change it in favor of a single person or army.
