After her power and trusting the wrong person got her almost murdered, Tori is starting over in NYC as a grad student at Columbia University. She will still use her power for her own personal benefit, but she intends to do it a bit more carefully in the next chapter of her life.

History

Ability

Psychometry

Tori can access the history of an object by touching the fingerprints left on it. There are layers to the information, the deeper of which she has yet to truly delve into, though she has strong control over the more shallow ones. The fingerprints do not have to be “complete prints”; as long as the item has not been wiped clean, the prints exist for Tori, even if the smudges and partials would be useless to law enforcement. She cannot gather information from an object handled by gloved hands or anything that does not leave a print, as the fingerprints are what leave the trace to the objects’ history for Tori to access.

A quick touch will give her simple information based on the freshest set of prints. A longer touch and more concentration can either access older prints’ information, or give her insight into the emotions and thoughts of the users, as well as flashes of the memory. Tori so far has avoided the emotional and flashback aspect of her power, due to the trauma caused by the first times she did so, but the ability is there when she chooses to access it. See her stunts for a further explanation of each level.

This level is accessed at all times, automatically, instantaneously, and almost unconsciously. Tori can glean information from the object based on the freshest set of fingerprints with just a quick touch of her own hand to the object. If it is a keyboard or a keypad, she can sense what was last typed into it. For example, if the last person were to have gone online and purchased an item with a credit card, she can easily gain that information. If it is a book, she can tell which were the last pages read; a phone, the last phone number dialed, etc. She cannot gather emotions or feelings attached to the actions, nor will she be able to tell who the handler if she doesn’t already know (unless the information she gleans provides her with the name or clues to who the handler was).
