* ''[[Ciaphas Cain]]'', '''Hero of the [[Warhammer ~~40000~~|Imperium]]''', creates one of those. He tries to be posted on the least dangerous-looking commands only to find out they're not quite as safe as he assumed them to be. His favorite artillery regiment (watching the war from several dozen miles behind the front lines) was in the way of a tyranid flanking attack, his checking up on a few insurgents apart from the main host turns up the remnants of an inquisitorial warband fighting a nest of genestealers and having a cozy little war against seemingly poorly-organized orks reintroduces him to his best friends, the Necrons.

* If you are a Celestial [[Exalted]], you are this. It's just a natural consequence of being one of 700 beings in the entire world that can derail the local [[Chessmaster]]'s plans. And those of the undead, [[Omnicidal Maniac|omnicidal]] [[Eldritch Abomination]]s. And the non-undead but just as nasty [[Eldritch Abomination]]s who intend to turn the world into a literal [[Hell]] on Earth. And the [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremists]] who want to kill you because they think you're going to turn out just as bad as those other guys trying to kill you. [[Everything Trying to Kill You|Yeah,]] [[Gambit Pileup|it's that kind of setting.]]
