[WP] You have accidentally died. No, no, no, you didn’t die in an accident, you’ve accidentally died, as in, the Grim Reaper has no idea what you’re doing in the underworld.

[WP] It's been years since the last moon landing. After several decades of silence, humans proudly set foot on it again. Up there, the astronauts found mummified human corpses inside torn open space suits. The tags were still legible, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin... the astronauts from decades ago.

[WP] There is a bar located between life and death. All those who died sit for their last drinks before marching onto the afterlife. Unbeknownst to them, the bartender is also the judge. Forgiveness is up to God. Retribution is the Devil's call. Judgement is given by the one who serves you drinks.

[WP] Invade the humans they said. It will be fun they said. They only have nuclear weapons, it will be easy they said. Those bastards failed to mention that the humans also bite.

[WP] Death has announced that you will die in 10 days. This means that whatever happens, you will not die until the 10th day. Before you die, you decide to do all sorts of wild and deadly exploits so that your name will be remembered for the generations to come.

[WP] Those who lives by the sword dies by the sword. A rather simple and merciful death. It's the scholars, who live by ink and paper, that face a truly tragic and brutal fate.

[WP] People know you as a pacifist that brings peace everywhere he goes. International conflict? Send the pacifist. First contact with aliens? Send the pacifist. Perhaps you should've clarified that you're a practitioner of the paci-fist, a martial art about pacifying people with your fists
