[WP] Last names are assigned at birth by an oracle, and 90% of people find themselves in a related profession. For instance "Miller" or "Baker." Your last name, "World-Ender," has made life rather difficult.	6380
[WP] You have the supernatural ability to never break a promise. You swore to hold this bridge until the reinforcements arrived. But your side lost the war, and reinforcements never came. A promise is a promise, though, even if it's been 300 years.	2857
[WP] The rebellious teenage sons and daughters of prominent wizards form a science cult. At first it's just a little harmless peer review - but they soon discover, to their terror, that science is all too real.	2760
[WP] Everyone is given a prophecy at the instant of their birth. For most people, it is a short, cryptic sentence. Kings and Presidents often get a whole paragraph. Your daughter is four days old, and the Oracle is still scribbling furiously.	744
[WP] You knew the adoption agency was a little shady, but when they said "special needs" you thought "autism" or "ms" - not "ork" or "vampire." Still, you're a family now, and you'll find a way to make it work	578
[WP] Everyone gets a superpower from the superpower lottery when they come of age. Usually, it's a very minor power - but you found a way to rig the game. Now you've come to regret it.	380
[WP] "Raised by humans" is the galactic equivalent of "raised by wolves." A lost alien child is found on Earth after many years being raised by humans, and struggles to re-integrate into galactic society.	179
[WP] Your crimes were so numerous and heinous the jury gave you 2,107 years, expecting it to be a life sentence. Ten years later, biological immortality was discovered. Today is your release day.	178
[WP] As an imperial necromancer, your duty is to see that criminals with consecutive life sentences serve their full term. As you are stitching a soul back into its body, to serve it's fourth term, you can't help but notice how clean it is - this one appears to be innocent.	167
[WP] Mirrors have never been a perfect reflection for you - but the differences were trivial, like a children's "Spot the Differences" picture. Lately, though, the changes have been getting more severe and sinister.	143
