[WP] You’re a renowned gardener that speaks ‘plant’. Your latest client points you at their rundown garden, and after fixing it, you look at the gnarled angry, leafless tree at the bottom of the garden. “Ignore it,” the other plants say. “It’s specist.” You’ve never walked away from a challenge.	63
[WP] Having already proven yourself as a soldier, your unit was selected for a secret military experiment using an enhancement drug. Each gains powers, but at the loss of something else. Everyone waits for your reveal, but you already see inside their minds what they plan to do with you. Like hell.	61
[WP] Having been raised in swamplands, you are familiar with every one of the hundreds of ways the land wants to kill a person. You’ve been hired to help an adventuring party navigate the swamplands safely. The problem is, they aren’t listening.	59
[WP] You’re an international assassin who’s been contracted to kill an elementary school teacher for witnessing a mob hit. The more you watch your target to learn their routine, the more you realise you’re not going to be able to pull the trigger on this one. The trick now is to keep them alive.	58
[WP]You’re a college professor who’s well respected by everyone and apparently has no sense of humour. Going to class, you find apples filling your lectern. “It works for doctors, sir,” the kids laugh. You smile, knowing your last joke got you expelled from Harvard forty years ago. ‘Game on, brats'	54
[WP]You inherit a timber house in the woods that you’ve lived in as a child. Behind it is a large oak with huge roots burying into the house’s foundations. As you start to dig the roots out it becomes apparent the roots aren’t undermining the foundations. The house is a living extension of the tree.	53

[WP] You’re an antiquities conservator for the Louvre Museum. As you remove each piece for inspection, one thing becomes terribly clear. They’re all forgeries.	51
[WP] You own a specialist bookshop that caters to a special clientele. The rarer the book; the more expensive. An hour alone with the Devil’s grimoire costs an arm and a leg. A client doesn’t understand why it needs to be his own and is arguing with you. They have no idea who they’re dealing with.	50
[WP] You’re a middle school student in a class that’s receiving a lecture on why fantasy creatures don’t exist. They’re called fantasy for a reason and only idiots believe. That’s when you feel movement in your shirt pocket and a tiny dragon head pops over the top. “NOW can I bite her, master?!”	47
