Alright here goes.
You are 24 years old, and you first discovered the true extent of your abilities when you were 19. It was a pretty rough time for you, and you ended up dropping out of college- it was simply impossible to do both school and deal with all of the problems facing you as a Spirit Hunter. Fortunately, you found a group of others like you. Of course you're spread throughout the world, but there is an internet community and forum that you keep in touch with. There are even regional administrators that help Spirit Hunters like yourself find employment, housing, various other things that make life complicated. The regional administrators also send out text messages and phone calls alerting you to potentially dangerous situations where your presence is required. While ordinarily you can sense what's going on in your vicinity, the messages can help you prioritize your 'missions' and extend the range a Spirit Hunter is able to cover.
As for you, personally? Well, you seem pretty normal to an outside observer. You work at the Town Hall as a custodian. Perhaps not the most fulfilling job, but you're left alone most of the time and get enough sick leave and vacation time to manage Spirit Hunting and a day job.
You rent a small house outside the town along with your roommate; she is (or maybe was) also a Spirit Hunter. You really don't know much about her, except that she's probably younger than you are and has been at it longer. It's hard to tell her age and she's very quiet and rarely around so you've never really gotten around to asking. You've lived together for almost a year now and you barely know anything except her name- Bridget. Lately she's been around even less; you're lucky if you see her twice a week. In the past two months she's stopped doing her Spirit Hunting responsibilities and while her spiritual aura used to be almost stifling, you can't even detect it anymore.
This has, unfortunately, left you with quite a bit more work to do. So is it really any wonder that you've decided to enjoy the one good (well, okay, there are other things that are pretty awesome) thing about your abilities?
