The Doomed Hero

(don't have my book right now, as it's on loan, so if this is covered in the book I apologize)
So something that came up in making a character with a friend of mine--
How would you handle the situation of a negative destiny (or doom, as it were)? For instance, a hero with destiny "Destiny: To Die Unremembered" or somesuch. One can hardly argue that that's illegitimate for a hero to have, and it could make for very interesting campaign material, but it hardly is advantageous to the player.
You could have "doom" flaw, I suppose, which sets one of the PC's spiritual attributes "negative" (it would add to your enemies, you would get points for having it get bigger and it would slowly get smaller over time.)
Anyway, does anyone have other ideas on how to handle this?

This has actually been covered before, not too long ago either. Have a search through the forum and you should find it.
If I get time later, I'll have a look and see if I can find it for you.
