[WP] To an ordered society, a hero is someone who upholds that order. To a conquered people, it's the one who overthrows their oppressors. To an empire, it is someone who crushes all resistance. The Dark Lord considers themselves a hero performing a necessary task. This is their story.	8
[TT] "No mom, I don't want to go to the beach house again!" You always said that every summer once you got out of school, but your parents never gave you a choice. And no one ever seemed to believe you when you insisted there was something weird about that house.	8
[RF] “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds." A great sentiment, but you feel whoever first said that probably never anticipated your route...	8
[SP] "Is it magic or technology?" the inspector asked, admiring the thing. "Yes," said its inventor.	8
[WP] You are a villain, but you do it because it pays the bills. You know it's wrong, but what else can you do? You have to eat, and it's not like anyone was truly hurt by what you've done. And then one of your distraught victims confronts you, forcing you to rethink your rationalizations.	7
[SP] "You can't be serious?" "Quite so. Set course for the black hole at the core of the galaxy."	7
[WP] Something in the city is causing people to mutate, a few at a time. The first known affected individual was a month ago, now several new cases are reported daily. Someone needs to track down the source.	7
[WP] Eris is at it again--repeating what worked so well before, she once again throws a golden apple into the midst of Olympus with a declaration of 'for the fairest.' But this time, the contending goddesses are being more subtle in trying to sway the judge Zeus chose--you.	7
[MP] You are not a valuable prisoner, so you have a very simple choice. Join the pirate crew or die. But you always wanted a life of adventure anyway.	7
[SP] "Cut!" the director shouts. Relieved, you can't wait to get home and relax with a hot shower.	7
