[WP] In a world of dragons, sorcery, war, and monsters, there are many risks and even risk takers. Everyone though, elf, monster, or man knows to avoid those few ancient ruins that contain symbols of suffering and a word of the ancients, RADIATION.

[WP] "Your teleporter doesn't work at all, it just incinerates people and makes a copy of them!" "I'm afraid your ethical objections will die wit..." "Ethics has nothing to do with it you idiot. Have you ever seen a copy of a copy of a copy!?"

[WP] "Mortal, before you pass into heaven you must make peace with every living thing who's life you've taken. You have as much time as you nee...is that a dinosaur?! Bro hold up, I've got to read your file."

[WP] You're fairly certain your spouse has been kidnapped and replaced by an imposter. Could be an actor, could be a robot, maybe an alien, you haven't really felt motivated to figure it out. This new thing is such a better person that you're trying to decide if you want to save them or not.

[WP] "Hero". That used to have meaning. Now it just stands for drama and tv. No risk, no loss, save the day, the "villain" escapes. No one sees the real good a "hero" could do. That or they don't care. Disgusting. I think it's time the world was reminded what real evil is and why it must be fought.

[WP] Humans are unlike aliens because of our compassion. Evolving instincts to sacrifice our lives for each other and even animals is counterintuitive, and a quirk to the rest of the galaxy. Once humanity discovers intergalactic slavery and war though, it quickly becomes more than a quirk.

[EU] We didn't kill muggles, but we didn't mourn them either. We didn't hurt house elves, but we didn't free them. Our sins were clear as day to him though. After we met each other we tried to recruit him, but it was us who learned. Everything changed the day we met the muggle doctor, named Strange.

[WP] Hero/villain. Titles that aren't done justice. Constantly parading an ego driven drama; no risk, no loss, save the day, the "villain" escapes. No one sees the good that "heroes" could do, or they don't care. Disgusting. It's time someone taught the world why the fight against evil isn't a game.

[WP] Everyone always referenced it with such frequency that you assumed it was normal, something everyone dealt with and joked about. Today you found out that monsters under your bed aren't supposed to be real.

[WP] Humans are unlike any other species in their selflessness. The fact Earth's dominant species has and can sacrifice their lives for animals is a quirk to the rest of the galaxy. After humanity witnesses rights violations and intergalactic oppression though, it becomes more than a quirk.
