[WP] When it comes to superpowers, you are basically a god-like anomaly with the strongest offensive and defensive abilities ever recorded. Heroes, villains, and the public alike fear you. It was agreed upon when you were a baby that you would be left alone, and never told the extent of your powers.	101
[WP] "I'm here for your first born, to settle our deal." Dread fills you as the witch speaks, but then she holds up a goody-bag. "I've got some things for him. I only have an hour today, but I'll be back to spend more time with him next week. What's a good time for you?"	101
[WP] You'd heard of pyramid schemes before, but you had some spare money and decided to see how far the rabbit hole goes just for fun. Now you're in Egypt, in a secret chamber within the great pyramid, clad in dark robes while the cult leader performs a ritual. You're the only one who can stop this.	99
[WP] Humans are relieved of their arms and legs at birth, and fitted with ports for customizable appendages. In addition to whatever civilian attachments you can afford, workplaces and entertainment facilities issue proper prosthetics for whatever activity they entail. There's also a black market.	99
[WP] A girl or boy at school always wears costume devil horns. They're a bit awkward, and get made fun of by other students. One day you get paired with them for a project, and they invite you to their house to work on it. Upon meeting their family you realize that the horns probably aren't fake.	98
[WP] You're part of a lucky (or unlucky) few that survived the zombie apocalypse... sort of. You were infected, but only turned into a half-zombie. You kept your sanity, are effectively immortal, and no longer need food or sleep, but most humans shoot you on sight and other zombies still attack you.	98
[WP] Effective space travel always seemed just out of reach for humanity no matter how many leaps in technology we made. One day we're visited by aliens, and they show up in simple wooden space ships with no obvious power source. Scientists are stunned, but the aliens say we're just overthinking it.	97
[WP] There are 7 keys which when used together can shut off the internet. A century after the fall of humanity and the rise of robot overlords, these keys have slipped into myth-like status. You are a member of the human resistance, and you believe the 7 keys are crucial for taking down the robots.	96
[WP] He was born first and you were born second. Simple as that, but he's being groomed to take father's place, and you're training to be his bodyguard. You go through grueling exercises and training regiments while he is pampered and educated. Tonight's the first time his life will be threatened.	95
[WP] You're patted down for weapons before you're allowed in. The boss has asked to see you personally, and that means this is either the true beginning, or the end of your career in organized crime. You enter the office and see a burly, suited man petting a fluffy cat. "Welcome," says the cat.	95
