[WP]Time travel is possible, but requires an "anchor" item created in the target era. You've gone to the year 900 using a Viking sword and the year 300 using a Roman Coin. You've just started the process using a small statue of unknown origin and it proves to be vastly older than human history.	12951
[WP]"Oh great far-speaking tower, I have performed the rituals as set forth in the sacred manual. Let me speak to the sky spirit so I may learn of it's wisdom!" "Uh.. Copy that. Moon City Delta responding... We thought everyone was dead down there."	7615
[WP]We are the last of our kind, and we keep the old ways. When one dies we bury them by the memory tree. Soon the tree will bear fruit and we will consume the sweet taste of the memories of our loved ones. The outsiders do not understand our ways.	136
[WP]All the other heroes fighting the super villain have clever quips, quirky powers, and hilarious sidekicks. You'll have none of that nonsense, going in brutally and efficiently. Now everyone is complaining that you're ruining the fun.	113
[WP]"Just because you are a lycanthrope, a cryptid, or are undead does not mean you can't serve your country!" The drill sergeant yells at you and the other new recruits. The bigfoot to your left chuckles and elbows you as the sergeant turns away. "We're in the army now, bloodsucker."	75
[WP]It's been a long journey, but you've finally found the Werestone, an artifact that grants you shape shifting powers based on the next animal you touch. Previous owners had selected powerful animals like bears or wolves, but you've unfortunately bumped into a much less intimidating creature.	10
[WP]When the catastrophe happened, humanity headed underground. You were only eight at the time. Now your great grandchildren, who have never known the sky, gather around to hear your stories of the abovetime.	10
[WP]There are the Shadowsteps, who hold the power of darkness and the ability to teleport from shadow to shadow, and the Silverwalkers, who do the same with light and mirrors. Both sides have kept an uneasy truce for years. Now a mysterious death has them on the brink of war.	8
[WP]As an evil wizard with little patience, you've found that your signature spells "explode brain" and "teleport heart" have vastly cut down on the number of heroes who show up. This works pretty good for a while until an old enemy sends an ironclad clockwork warrior.	6
[WP]You inherit your eccentric uncle's house. Despite the odd layout and dilapidated condition you find it quite charming, until you find the phrase "this house hungers" scrawled over and over again behind every painting and mirror.	1
