[WP] Your small town has one rule: Make sure you're indoors by sundown. Those who break that rule are never heard from again, and everyone acts as if they never existed. While out running errands, you notice that it's later than you thought. Looking up, you realize the sun is starting to set.	117
[WP] You are an ancient folk spirit so old, your name and even your actual purpose have long been lost to history. Nowadays, you go by a fairly generic name and just go through the motions of what you're actually supposed to do. One day, to your surprise, you hear someone call you by your true name.	116

[WP] You are the most feared hero in the world. Most villains surrender the moment you show up on the scene. Just the mention of your name is enough to give criminals second thoughts. Your super power? You have the ability to control wasps.	112

[WP] As one of the first Martian colonizers, you knew it would be a one-way trip. During your daily briefing with Mission Control, the line abruptly goes dead. Weeks go by without contact, then months. After three years, the radio light starts flashing. There's a call coming in.	107
[WP] Most witches and wizards spend a lifetime studying rare magical tomes to learn how to cast and control their spells. Diving into dangerous, monster-filled dungeons just to find a few magical pages was not uncommon. That all changed once the internet was developed.	105
[WP] Dragons have reappeared on Earth. After the initial panic, it becomes apparent that they no desire to attack humanity - at least, not physically. Instead, they've come to conquer humanity's financial markets to add to their hoard.	105
[WP] You'd been at the dig site for several weeks before making a major discovery - a collection of busts of the culture's gods and goddesses. As you look over the statues, you nearly drop one in shock - it looks identical to you.	104
