Twitch
Title: The Hyper-Scavenger
Role: Twitch is a human with a severe nervous tic, a result of multiple "Aether-Shocks" he sustained while scavenging in high-magic zones. He is a master of speed and agility, able to navigate crumbling ruins and dodge ancient traps with ease. He is a lone wolf who rarely works with others, believing that "dead weight only slows you down."
Secret Motivation: Twitch has found a "Chronos-Shard"—a rare type of Void-Shard that allows him to see a few seconds into the future. He has become addicted to the shard’s power and is using it to "speed-run" the most dangerous ruins in the Wastes. He doesn't realize that the shard is "eating" his own timeline, and he is starting to disappear from reality. He is looking for a way to "anchor" himself before he vanishes completely.
Adventure Hook: Twitch "appears" in front of the party and then disappears just as quickly, leaving behind a small, glowing gem. The gem is a fragment of the Chronos-Shard, and Twitch needs the party to bring it back to him before his "time runs out."
