(( again no pictures (partially because I haven’t picked a fc for this oc yet. or named him for that matter)
This character comes to you in three parts! This man has the power to learn any object’s history by touching it and the longer he holds onto it, the further back he can go. So he starts out as a cultural anthropologist, using his power to enrich knowledge of humans of the past.
Part two is he stumbles on a murder case by touching the murder weapon, so he switches careers to a private investigator, using his powers to figure out what happened, then going backwards from there to find court-admissible evidence (because “my superpower says the butler did it” doesn’t really work)
Then part three! He finds government secrets with his powers by accident, which very much upsets the government, who spirit him away to do a vague yet menacing government agency place and force him into working for them, which is the present-day for the blog (he’s in his 40s or 50s by this point).
