They were beings of strength created with the ability to wound magic to their will; to see the threads of time, to manipulate the flow of Life, and to hold the scales of Death in their hands. Their presence warranted peace and tranquility for an age and a half, and for a long while the world had time to rest from its creation.
Until, without explanation, the Touched vanished, died, were murdered, and what have you. This plunged the world into chaos and darkness as humanity rediscovered their old evil, and that the Touched only suppressed it, not destroyed it.
Yet in the deepest of chaos, just as quickly as it disappeared, it came again. Clusters of people, one by one, are being Touched again, with the abilities and magic of their long-gone predecessors.
And you are part of the First Generation.

"I'll always be here for you, anytime. I just hope you're not having me hide a body; done that too many times for comfort."
Your dashing, brave, and sometimes annoying older brother. He's very protective of you and often likes to tease you. At the worst of times he can be as reliable as a fortress... which speaks very well of his soldiership. Will your relationship hold against the storm that is your Touch?
