[WP] For thousands of years you guarded the sacred relic, waiting for a worthy hero to come along and claim it. Awhile ago one finally did come, and then buggered off on their quest. You expected a swift but merciful death after they left, but nothing you've tried has worked so far.	3
[WP] Last night, a patch for the Universe was pushed through by the developers. You'd opted out of automatic updates, but this was rolled out to everyone regardless, and they removed the one feature you always use: magic. Angry as you've ever been, you decide that there's only one way to fix this!	3
[WP] You've been living alone inside your barricaded house for decades. You venture out into the ruins of the city only at night, when it's safe. In the day, your flesh burns and you're blind. At night, you're unstoppable. You seek one thing night after night, returning home before each dawn.	3
[WP] Atlantis never vanished. Atlanteans have always been well ahead of the curve with tech and culture. They've been neutral in all known human conflict, and have never joined the UN. Now they've announced that they're unifying the planet under the Atlantean flag, and expect no useful resistance.	3
[WP] You've been stuck in a time-loop for thousands of cycles. You've done everything you can think of to break the loop, but nothing has worked. You have one last idea: the thing you've feared to do the most...	3
[WP] While everyone else uses magic, you steadfastly refuse and you do everything the old-fashioned way. People claim you're unable to use magic, but the truth is that you're so powerful you don't even need wands or incantations. Today, your secret is revealed.	2
[WP] All known magic comes from pacts made with powerful beings able to lend bits of their power to mortals. Most make pacts with demons, gods, or elementals. You, however, have figured out how to draw your magic directly from the source. It seems anyone could do it, but there's a reason they don't.	2
[WP] You've been seeing strange people at the edges of your vision for days. Today, you awoke to find one at the foot of your bed. This one touches your forehead, saying "It's time for you to wake up." The touch is like a starburst in your mind, and suddenly you understand who you really are.	2
[WP] This wasn't what you would've expected at all. The afterlife. You expected... something. But what you got was a desolate wasteland, the obvious aftermath of a terrible and costly war that happened long ago. You've been here for who knows how long, and haven't seen another soul.	2
[WP] Little by little they have chipped away at you, stealing your life bit by bit. But, you're not going to be taking this lying down. All you have to do is finish building the device.	2
