[WP] You are part of a long line of great soldiers. Initially you followed the path of your forefathers, achieving great fame and glory, but you felt unfulfilled and empty. You always liked children and so you became a preschool teacher. Your martial background was more useful than you expected.	8
[WP] You are a superhero, but you have not been involved in the latest clash between heroes and villains. Now both sides are asking for your help, but the whole conflict is so convoluted and complex that you have no clue who are the heroes and who the villains.	8
[WP] As the personification of death it is your job to guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife. One would assume that this is a stressful job, but most souls actually do not need guidance, so you can focus on the souls that have difficulties leaving the mortal world behind.	8
[WP] As a superhero you have never bothered with hiding your identity. The many attempts of your nemesis to "unmask" you are quite entertaining.	8
[WP] The secret identities of the villain, who aims to overthrow the social order, and of the hero, who fights to preserve it, were revealed. To everyone's surprise the villain is one of the main beneficiaries of the social order, while the hero is ostracized by it.	8
[WP] You are a time-travelling paleontologist wishing to study prehistory first hand. You take great care not to interrupt the timeline, but eventually you slap an annoying insect out of habit. When you return to your native time you do not recognise any of it.	8
[WP] While magic does exist, there are no discernable rules or patterns to it. You just have to figure out what you can do by trail and error. You are certain that you have magic, but after years you still have not been able to cast a single spell. Until you tried something completely ridiculous.	8
[WP] Earth never unifies under a planetary government, but that does not stop technological advancement. When humanity finally enters the galactic stage it does so, not under a single government, but as hundreds of independent states.	8
[WP] You are a superhero who always treats fights like staged performances. You don't take them seriously and are mainly in it for the fun, which is why villains often escape you and why the other heroes... dislike you, to put it mildly. Today you met a villain who treats fights the same as you.	8
[WP] The speed of technological progress in the galaxy is usually A LOT quicker than on earth. Therefore the galactic community welcomes us not with joy or hostility, but with exasperation, asking "what took you so long?"	8
