[WP] The prophecy tells of a great hero who will save the kingdom from evil. But after decades no hero has come. You are tired of waiting and decided to realize the conditions of the chosen one in yourself, despite clearly not being the chosen one. Amazingly this seems to work.

[WP] It turns out that humans experience, in comparison to other species of the galaxy, a very broad spectrum of emotions. To us the other species appear cold and unfeeling, while the rest of the galaxy views us as hyper-emotional and unable to accomplish anything without a full emotional meltdown.

[WP] Your family constantly compares you to your siblings. How they achieved so much and you achieved so little. Little do they know, that you have achieved more than all of your siblings combined, it's just that what you do is so secret that you cannot even tell them "That is classified!".

[WP] You are a villain, but even after decades of wreaking death and destruction on the land, after killing hundreds of thousands and almost destroying the world on more than one occasion, nobody is intimidated by you or even takes you seriously.

[WP] In the galaxy there are no two species that ever developed the same method for interstellar travel. As an engineer on a very frequently visited space station, you have seen many different and weird engines, but the one the humans developed definitely takes the cake for the strangest yet.

[WP] You live in a cyberpunk dystopia, but instead of mega-corporations the world is controlled by massive non-profit charities. Life is no better and in looking for ways to fight the system many people, including you, support different companies in the hope that they will improve your lives.
