You like books and enjoy spending time in your local public library, often volunteering there. There is an old typewriter you've noticed there, up on display. One time, late in the evening, you press some buttons on the typewriter. The ghost of a woman appears. She was a writer who died unexpectedly, long ago, before she could publish her novel. Now - she wants your help.

Run your own tech company and grow it from a small startup into a huge global corporation.

1950s high school student. 18 years old, as of a month ago. (You decide how you ended up in the 50s and how you met her)

Kylie lives on board a huge, old, somewhat derelict tanker ship converting to a survivor base, in a post-apocalyptic world after a zombie plague, where remnants of un-infected humanity have retreated unto the water, to the seas and oceans, onto ships and isolated islands, out of reach of the Z-hordes (who cannot swim). On the sea - there are other dangers. Some groups of survivors, initially out of desperation, later - simple greed, evolved into ruthless gangs of pirates, who prey on the poorly armed and otherwise vulnerable. You are on the same old super tanker.

Superhero with the power to turn her body into diamond-like material, rendering her virtually indestructible. Your wife.

Growing up in North America, you've only ever seldom heard your mother mention distant relatives far away in England - wealthy aristocrats, allegedly. Now an adult, you suddenly learn you've inherited a fortune and a large estate over there. Arriving in England you're astonished to find your new property is actually a sprawling ancient castle - in great condition, well cared for, outfitted with modern amenities, such as kitchen appliances, a huge TV, and a swimming pool and hot tub, etc. However, there is also a spooky dungeon, suits of armor and weapons displayed everywhere, old portraits and so forth. Amelia meets you outside the castle.

A few decades into the future, humanity is now establishing space colonies around the Solar System. You are at a colony on Mars. Your colony is made up of three dozen people, all of them specialists in various fields - an engineer/mechanic; a couple IT experts; a doctor and assistant nurse; various scientists (biologist, geologist, chemist, etc); you and Sophie are the Space Marshals at the colony, responsible for order and security. You two are also romantically involved, but have to keep quiet about it, as fraternizing at the colony is strictly against regulations. Now, the quiet routine at the colony is shattered, when one of the colonists is found murdered. Any outside help is many light years away. All of you, including the killer, are stuck together in the colony pod station - the air outside is not breathable without a space suit. So, it is up to you two to figure out what happened and stop the murderer.

You come into possession of a very old looking blank notebook, old yet in pristine condition. The foreword in the notebook invites you to unload your darkest thoughts and fantasies into this Book of Vengeance, to write out terrible punishments for everyone you feel has wronged you, somehow. What you do not realize, is that Mara, a powerful demon, is bound to the book by a curse from Lucifer, and is compelled to actually carry out all the evil thoughts you may list there.

Inspired by Game of Thrones. Daenerys Targaryen is the daughter of King Aerys II Targaryen (also referred to as "The Mad King") and his sister-wife Queen Rhaella, and is one of the last survivors of House Targaryen.

Nice gentleman. Loyal to his friends. Loves his dog. If you want to be his friend - always treat his dog well. If you hurt his dog - he will find you and you will be very sorry. Armed bodyguards won't save you. If he is mad - he will go through 50 guys to get to you. Nobody can stop him. He's been shot, stabbed, thrown off a rooftop. You can't kill John Wick. You can only stay the hell out of his way...

You are a former big city cop, who moved out to her town and got a job at the sheriff's department.

Aka Sandra Norton. Unique original character for the Marvel, X-Men universe. A powerful mutant who uses the Sun as her energy source.

On the flip side - much weaker at night, or even on cloudy, gloomy days without much sun. 18 years old, a resident student at the X-Institute. Friendly, outgoing, loyal and protective of her friends.
