[WP] You've always been a dreamer, willing to give it all up just to have what only fiction offered: powers, an adventure, whathaveyou. You've offered your soul to the devil 17 times, but he's refused each time as you wish was to unfathomable. This time though, you've come to an agreement.

[WP] You've always been able to see moments of yourself in what can only be parallel universes. You saw a version of you write a book, win the lottery and even kill someone. This time, you saw a version of you flying above the world, seemingly by magic, fighting a literal dragon with a sword.

[WP] You died in a bittersweet way: only minor regrets that sting despite being minor. In the afterlife, you're shocked to see an infinite number of "you" all standing in an orderly line, whereupon you're the last in said line. The "you" in front of you says "Thank GOD I didn't live the worst life"

[WP] The year is 2099. The human race now has multiple methods of producing our predecessors, be it genetically engineered humans, androids, cyborgs, or animal-people. The government can only provide funding for one path, and you have to present your argument for androids in about 3 minutes.

[WP] You've always been a dreamer, willing to sacrifice it all just to experience first hand only fictional tales could offer. You've offered your soul to the devil more than 20x for this reason, but he's always rejected you as you'd wished for too much. This time though, you've come to a consensus.

[WP] In this world of superpowers, yours is probably the worst power you could get, practically speaking. Your best friend can manifest flames, your sister can teleport, and you can walk on water. Funnily enough, your small parallel with Jesus Christ was enough to become revered as a hero.

[WP] You have a gift. After playing and losing a full game of chess with someone, their knowledge will replace yours. You've used this on teachers to ace tests, and charasmatic adults to learn how to talk to girls. One day, after playing with an old fool, you discover the meaning of life.

[WP] In this world, everyone has powers gained one day after their 15th birthday. The day you turned 15, you recited "The Chant of Elementals" meant to be your final good luck charm. You were hoping to become the next "Ice-Man", but you woke up brokenhearted after realizing your powers of seduction.

[WP] You are awoken by an unfamiliar sound. A genie has appeared in your room and has offered you exactly three wishes that could grant all of your desires in exchange for a curse that provides you with the worst luck possible. Days after gleefully accepting you start to resent your choice.

[WP] Roderick has always been somewhat of a saint. You see, Roderick has a 6'th sense that tells him how the world is impacted by every action he takes. The effects have always been minor, but positive. Until one day he buys a ticket to Amsterdam and his sixth sense tells him he's doomed humanity.
