[WP] A small town scientist has just finished their life's work; the world's first, fully functional time machine. Only it turns out a lot of the townsfolk are actually wayward time travellers stranded in the past, who have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time.

[WP] For humans, heaven is a paradise. For angels it's just a customer service job that never, ever ends. Today is your first day on the job, and you're already considering 'switching sides'.

[WP] You just realized you are in the opening act of a horror movie. Now you only have one goal - find some way to remove yourself from the story before the scary stuff starts, without accidentally kick-starting the plot yourself. Good luck.

[WP] You are a wise old Mentor who has counseled many great people over the years. Your latest charge is not a soon-to-be-mighty Warrior, destined King or prophesied Chosen One; instead they're a peer. A future Mentor already wise beyond their years but with so much left to learn.

[WP] You live in a Comic Book world. Wizards fight demons on the street. Witches brew potions on demand. Alien tourists trade gizmos for Earth souvenirs, and impossible geniuses invent world-changing gadgets every other week. But nobody - god, monster, or man - can seem to fix your tinnitus.
