[WP] The apocalypse has begun. The 4 Horsemen are riding. The dead rise. The sky falls. The very air turns foul as demons walk the earth. Except this all would have a lot scarier 200 years ago when we didn't have space ships, mechs, nanomeds, climate controls, and phased plasma weapons.

[WP] These days, every car has a button that, when pressed, will rewind time 5 minutes. You wouldn't remember it, but you'd wake up with a $5 charge to your credit and a friendly reminder to drive safely. Today you woke up to a massive headache and a $100k credit charge.

[WP] In the wake of the zombie apocalypse, you have a job. It's a dirty job. Hateful even. The doctors certainly hate you. You hang around hospitals waiting for them to fail. For someone to mess up. You kill those too sick to live.

[WP] The races of the galaxy discovered that magical affinities varied depending on personality. Those who were more hot tempered gained fire magic, for example, and the cautious often had shadow magic. To the dismay of most, humans, with their passions, insanity, and zeal gained raw chaos magic.

[WP] Your weapon systems are down. Your engines are slag. The pirates are preparing to board. But your alien friends assure you that they have a plan. You can escape in the small human vessel they found floating in space.... It's a red tesla roadster.

[WP] in a world of telekines, pyros, people who can summon nightmarish monsters, people who can make you explode at a glance, and others with ever more esoteric weird abilities, you are widely regarded as the world's most deadly human. Secretly, you're just the world's best liar and no one knows.

[WP] There is a girl, except not a girl. A God but not. And she's so very lonely. So she pulled you out of time and space to get a friend. Before this, you were a nobody. But your world declared war to get you back and will sacrifice anything to do it.

[WP] The Four Horsemen ride but are stopped by, surprisingly, the Seven Deadly Sins. The Seven lose all their power if humanity is destroyed. You witness the battle, and despite all your frailties, you get to decide who wins

[WP] "Did you ever think about the fact that plants are really explosions of life happening in really slow motion? Here. Let me demonstrate."

[WP] You are a contract killer for hire. You're not just any professional hit man though; you are that very rare breed of mercenary that takes orders from the dead. Making hits for the dearly departed has made you very wealthy indeed, but it wasn't about the money. It was never about the money.
