[WP] You are the master of plot twists. You twist, twist and keep twisting even after the plot completely breaks, you twist again much more. You twist unlike any plot has twisted before. You are a serial twister.

[WP] A few hundred years ago a powerful lich managed to seal his soul into his bloodline instead of a physical object ensuring as long as his family lasts he shall remain. This has effectively reduced his existence to being a grandparent who is really pushy about grandkids

[WP] You are a warlock but told your party that you were a wizard so that they would accept you, and you've been keeping up this lie for years. After an encounter goes wrong, you are forced to use your patron's power in a more direct manner to save them. As expected, they have questions for you.

[WP] After taking a wrong turn on a country back road, you seem to find yourself in a small, 1950s style town. It looks perfect, practically picturesque. Like something out of a storybook. Even the people look perfect. Naturally, it scares the shit out of you.

[WP] In a modern fantasy world, fantasy races -including dragons are integrated into society. When dragons are born, they are forced into a human form until they are mature enough to break the spell. You are top of your class, older than the others and still can't break it. Today you find out why.

[WP] All adults can make a pilgrimage once a year to a genie and attempt to make a wish. However, the genie will only grant the wish if it's never be asked for before in all history. Most people never get their wish. On your 18th birthday you make the trip and are surprised to get your wish.

[WP] Believing it'd teach you humility, your fellow gods cast you down in a temp exile to live a life as a human before returning. Unfortunately, you return bitter, resentful, and having learned the opposites of what they intended. You lead an army of mortals in a revolution, and you're winning...

[WP] You never ever kill, every enemy you face remains alive. Not because you're a saint who believes in mercy, but because is an annoying curse that prevents you from killing. But that curse does nothing about inflicting pain in general, just killing.

[WP] The Greek, Norse, and Egyptian pantheons of gods attend a conference on Mount Olympus, trying to discern whether or not Christianity's god is evil or truly good as it claims. The talks were going poorly until an Archangel came to visit them.

[WP] Growing up your family would tell you tales of things that could steal children’s faces and lives. You always thought they were just tales made to scare you but now years later as you stare into your daughters eyes you understand because that’s not your daughter.

[WP] You are the immortal ruler of a kingdom. Since the people didn't much care for an "immortal hell spawn" for a king, you play as the court jester. The king is merely your puppet. It was fine until a historian noticed how consistent the various kings laws have been over the last few centuries

[WP] Any time you look into a person's eyes you see their soul and instantly know of all their crimes and acts of evil. You have become a world-renowned detective but you haven't looked into a mirror in decades- you know what you will see and cannot bear to be reminded of it.
