15. Your character lives in a world where every single person's DNA is carefully genetically designed for something to help the community. Your character despises what they were created for. This has never happened before.

16. The world used to be plagued with war and famine and inhumanity.

17. Your character invents airborne particles with the intent to eradicate diseases. Unfortunately, they become radioactive, toxic, and severely deadly to anyone who breathes in even a tiny amount.

19. Centuries ago, a solar flare damaged the Earth's atmosphere in the opposite way expected; it actually made it stronger. But now the sun's rays have difficulty penetrating it and the world is slowly growing colder. Your character is among the many determined to find a way to fix it.

20. Happiness is an illusion, as are every other emotion. In your futuristic society, humans are bred in a lab without them as a means of creating equality. The only problem is that your main character was born the natural way...with every emotion intact. If this is discovered, they'll have to fend for their life.
