Thomas Caxton

Thomas is a young photojournalist who grew up travelling between his birth town of London and his mother's home city of Boston pending the divorce of his two globetrotting parents. Since dropping out of college, he started wandering the world, backpacking through Europe and posting a log of his experiences on the internet, gaining a small-but-loyal following in the process. He Awakened in his early twenties while traveling in Northern England, when a chance encounter led him to accidentally photograph a fae woman bathing in a spring.

Merits and Flaws

• Manifest Avatar - (His Avatar is one of the rare few that can physically manifest, and takes the shape of a fierce and courageous knight in plate armor. Although it addresses him as my King and is supremely loyal, it considers him to be far too weak and unmanly.)
• Faerie Affinity - (Fae actually really like Thomas, possibly because his Avatar resembles a knight who was blessed by fairies, but also because he has a personality that is compatible with that of many Changelings.)
• Image Distortion - (Reflections in water depict him as grizzled warrior in golden plate armor wielding a powerful magical sword. When submerged in brackish water, his limbs seem to be covered in illusory platemail that can be seen by onlookers.)
• Echoes - (1, Projects a distinct air of kingship. Animals born in England will bow their heads to Thomas upon meeting him.)
• Throwback - (Thomas regularly has dreams about a heroic medieval era that the Technocracy insists didn't exist.)
• Obsession - (Thomas is obsessed with Grail Mythology and memorabilia, regardless of how 'Athurian' it actually is. For starters, has the DaVinci Code and Arthur and the Knights of Justice taped, and really loves the second Indiana Jones movie.)
• Addiction - (Thomas is a regular smoker, going through a pack or two a week.)
