Why Anna, are you calling me abnormal? [Now's not the time to joke about it, but...yeah. He sort of expected this since he's been getting that line of questioning just often enough now. He goes quiet again because he's not even sure how to fully explain it.]
Zachariah Carlisle. 29, supposedly, though if memories are to be believed the guy I was was 10 years older by his world's standards. I call bullshit on that though and I'd rather stay 29 unless it's convenient to be older. [Like placating James Barnes, maybe.] I was human for a while, lived in a town not far from here and everything. Grew up, played basketball during high school and got a scholarship to a nearby university. Quit playing, stayed in school, went into psychology and tried my hand at being a DJ and gave that up, too. And then...one day about three years ago, my eyes changed from brown to blue and my hand completely phased through a wall and I was stuck for twenty minutes until I phased through the rest.
I'm not even sure if my name's Zee, but the best I can guess is that I'm not entirely mortal. Based on memory, people where I'm from should develop at least some offensive powers but I haven't yet, and I don't think I was ever going to and that's why I left home. You ever notice how sometimes the things that happen to you in this life sync up with shit you remember from your old life? What's up with that? It's one of my least favorite things about the project.
[He crosses his right ankle over his left, arms folded over his chest and stares at his shoes for a moment.] I think I'm an Oracle, and that could be why Retrospec actually hired me and accepted my bargain.
[Prophetic predictions and insight to something greater? Sure. That checks out, and it only really made sense in the last few months.]
