Story Idea

Everyone wakes from their dreams with the idea that they are the main character--the one who lives happily ever after and is an epic hero that saves the day. Some times, people settle, realizing they're the the side kick, only present for the occasional laugh. But what if you woke to find that you were the villain; if you knew you were destined to fail; if you knew the story wasn't even about you... 

Stranded on an unfamiliar planet, the survivors of a crashed human refugee ship discover that they are the root of an ancient war that has been raging across the universe for millennia. Now that they're caught in the battle, they have to decide on with side to fight, knowing that regardless of the winner mankind's survival is unlikely. When humans enter the war, it'll either be an epic battle between two evil forces or the final showdown between good and evil. Either way, the survivors have to find a way to set right the wrong that dooms them to extinction--that is, if they can figure out what it was.
