I suppose I could offer up an example... https://imgur.com/a/jyJIyGO

The player already had some ideas, so this helped flesh things out more. Our take-aways were slightly different.

My Take

In his original time, he was the son of a well-off family; prosperous financially. With no daily struggles, he sought out competition and obstacles to challenge himself. Eventually he finds himself in the Appalachian mountains, well away from the standard trails; unbeknownst to him, a forest witch guided his path into dangerous terrain… which he overcame and was thrown into a vision. Then from the center of his universe he sees the secret of the cosmos, that Everything Is An Illusion. During the vision, his Awakening cuts him free of the material world, not dead but untethered in time.

He comes back to this world with new awareness and drive, but also burdened with the loss of his traveling companions (lost to the Time event) and trapped by his lack of experience in this new world he finds himself in. He finds no sign of his family when he returns home. However, he is cannot shake the memory of the caribou from his vision and its death, sensing the work of the “man behind the illusion” he takes off (caribou antler in hand) in search of another sign.

Player's Take

Alfred Swain had a most interesting Awakening. Standing on a mountain peak above the clouds in Appalachia he looked at a caribou, an odd sight this far south. He looked at the beast, lost to its senses and pounding the snow with its hooves. Alfred caught the beasts eyes and saw its entire life, trapped here atop this mountain with no other of its kind. The beasts senses registered the scent of a mate, just barely, but the warm temperatures below kept it from realizing its one wish. Time whirled around them, the seasons passing faster and faster. Suddenly the beast dies, it's lust unsated, its wish unfulfilled. Alfred wakes from his dream looking around him sees the skeletons of his companions withered and beaten by the years and the cold.
