[WP] First they came for the Sentient AIs, and I watched in silence. Next they came for the cyborgs, and I remained quiet. Then they came for the mutants, and I said nothing. Then they found me, and that was their mistake. I wasn't supposed to exist.

[WP] Your grandmother had an old set of encyclopaedias and said “If you read all these books, you’ll have a college education” so you read them all. But when you got to the Magic section of the concordance, it listed sections that weren’t there until you opened volume M again and searched for them.

[WP] When the portal opened and sucked you into another world, it brought along nearly everything in your kitchen - blender, toaster, fridge, microwave, potato peeler, etc. and somehow fused their abilities with you. You are the Ginsu Mage.

[WP] Every year since your 18th birthday, you've been joined by a temporal twin from one year in the future. Yeah, it's really cool having a dozen of you winning the lottery, advancing science, fighting crime with future knowledge of the outcome - but this year future you never appeared.

[WP] You're pretty sure you got the better end of the bargain - your soul in exchange for immortality, no gimmicks, no undead lich, etc. It's been a decades now, and you're heading back to your private estate to review your diaries just in case you've somehow changed.

[WP] You've died and gone to heaven, well, the Gateways of Heaven. It seems there are an infinite number of heavens and you have to satisfy a Gatekeeper who asks obscure trivia questions. You sigh and step to the first one.

[WP] “Pick a magic accessory before I send you away: Ring of Eldritch Tentacles, Cloak of Amaranthine Shadows, Belt of Sublime Vicissitude, or the Mask of Fey Perspicacity. What? No, I will not explain what they do. Just hurry and pick one before the other gods notice. And try not to die again.”
