[WP] Unfortunately uniting Earth and achieving space travel did nothing to lessen humanity's violent tendencies and so, when we made first contact, we were quite embarrassed by our history of violence. Only to be horrified that, even with this history, humans are still the pacifists of the galaxy.	3
[WP] You are an egocentric and arrogant asshole. Yet you still are the most selfless and altruistic hero this city has.	3
[WP] You are a superhero and your spouse is a supervillain. You are both well aware of each others identities, but you have to keep it a secret as anything other than open hostility between heroes and villains is heavily frowned upon by both the public and your colleagues.	3
[WP] Life is incredibly common in the galaxy. So much so, that it is impossible for one species to live without killing millions of other, possibly sentient, lifeforms. As the newcomers humanity now has to justify to the galactic senate why they should allow our species continued existence.	3
[WP] You are a private detective. Work is hard to come, as the city has been oddly devoid of crimes in the past few weeks. But today you found an ominous message on your desk that consisted of only one word: "One...". Shortly after a distraught young woman enters your office.	3
[WP] It turns out that, while fate does exist, it is not as set in stone as everyone thinks. If you try hard enough you can change your fate and after years of trying you have finally managed to become the chosen one of the prophecy.	3
[WP] You are a clerk working at a space harbour orbiting Earth, when you suddenly notice an ancient human spacecraft, which you have only ever seen in history lessons, approaching. They are broadcasting only a single message: "Houston, we have a problem."	3
[WP] You are a villain and you are aware that you are part of a story. You owe your success to your extensive knowledge of tropes, allowing you to outplay your enemies. But when you faced the hero you had to realise that you completely misjudged the hero.	3
[WP] "You want me to teach you what exactly? Do you have even the slightest idea what you are asking for?" the human answered. You do not understand. You only wanted to learn about their history as they are the only species who's historical files are not publicly available.	3
[WP] Both the hero and the villain are fed up with their constant fights and so both decide to let the other win the next fight. This results in: 1) the most pathetic fight in the history of hero-villain fights and 2) the hero and the villain bonding over their shared misery.	3
