[WP] You’re a shape-shifting demon that never fitted into Hell. You’ve adapted sure, but you’ve always longed for something else. You were summoned during an active volcano that killed your master and erased your pentagram. For the first time in your life, you are free, but only if no one notices.	99
[WP] Having retreated from the world, you spend most of your time conversing with the plants in your garden as you nurture them. Complimenting the flowers. Encouraging the herbs. One day, they start talking back … and they have a lot to say.	97
[WP]As an adoptee you track down your birth mother just in time for her funeral. There, you’re publicly arrested and for days you’re grilled about a global organisation you know nothing about. Finally one comes in with a bottle of scotch and says, “Don’t suppose you know where your twin is, do you?”	95
[WP] A prophecy about you and an undying rose has followed you your whole life. There are whole temples out there, dedicated to you, but after years without freedom, you have escaped. They are looking for you. When you come across a burning house, only one rose in the garden remains undamaged.	93
[WP] You’re a humble fisherman from a small village. Drawing in your nets, you congratulate yourself on a huge haul based on the weight. What half-climbs over the side of your boat to land on the floor isn’t a fish, and they don’t look happy. (Real or fantasy. This happened to me as a scuba diver)	92
[WP] Centuries ago, you exchanged your humanity to be a gargoyle that comes to life and protects your castle at night. You’ve watched your descendants rule in your place. Rumours of you have grown. The current lord has agreed to open the castle at night for a tourist attraction, like Loch Ness.	91
[WP] You’re a soldier in a war. You trained most of your adult life for this and you’re very good at it, which is why you ignore all manner of contact from your mother. The messages and the means of their arrival are getting harder and harder to ignore.	90
[WP] The saying ‘live by the sword, die by the sword’ works well if you’re mortal. For those like you who aren’t, it just retires for a while. You've lived four decades in peace but now the itch is upon you once more. Adventuring has changed. Skills are now graded. You’re pretending to be a newbie.	87
[WP] Your skin is blistered, the sun is killer hot and the sand under you really does feel like sandpaper. The waves lap around your feet. You’re not sure how long you’ve been asleep, but the bullet wound that grazed your temple seems almost gone. You remember the flash of the gun. Nothing else.	85
[WP] All your life you’ve heard your father speak of the cursed treasure that even the dragons wouldn’t touch. You are now the leading expert on it. Adventuring parties come and go, and you give each of them the same information for a price. But there’s something different about this latest party.	83
