[WP] Everyone loves the brooding Adventurer who took a liking to your village. For weeks, they have been quietly enjoying your peaceful ways and helping around.

[PI] Mech pilots with PTSD often experience a kind of psychosis in which they begin to feel that the mech is an extension of themselves. To them, being taken out of the machine feels like being stripped of their skin and muscle.

[WP] You are a hero in service of Death itself. As counterintuitive as this may seem, it is not what it looks like. It's just that villains tend to kill people before their time and Death hates people messing up fate.

[WP] In a world dependant on superpowers, you though your ability of being immune to direct alterations from other powers was mildly inconvenient. You realize something is up when a friend points out you haven't aged at all in a decade.

[WP] You live in a utopian society. Really. No dark secret plots or massive covered up horrors. In fact, it’s your job to stage conspiracies in order to give eager adventurers some “evil plot” to thwart to keep them from bringing down the benevolent ruler out of some misguided need to be a hero.

[WP] Prophets and seers don't HAVE to give musings and warnings of the future in vague, riddling, or purposefully misleading ways. They mostly only do that when the people who come to them are being arrogant jerks or when someone knowing their actual happy end will cause that end to not happen.
