Summary
Plot Manipulation is the ability to control the Narrative Story and it's narrative elements, this allows the User to do things that would be seen as unreasonable by "readers" such as causing Deus Ex Machina, Plot Induced Stupidity or invoke Archetypes (Jungian or otherwise) and apply them to the scenario such as the Underdog, the Over-confident Villain, The Hubris ridden Hero, and many more.
While the way Plot Manipulation is shown varies, it must be shown to change the literal narrative of the verse, due to it's similarity to Fate Manipulation, the major differences between the two is that Plot Manipulation works on a totally different level outside the verse, notably, the Narrative level, opposed to the Inverse level.
Possible Applications
- Reality Warping, the user are capable of warping the reality of the story.
- Time Manipulation
- Fate Manipulation
- Conceptual Manipulation
- Causality Manipulation
Types
- 1- Traditional Plot Manipulation: The User is able to control the Narrative or is able to influence the Narrative in various ways, this can often be shown as the User rewriting things that have already happened, removing them from the Plot of the verse or forcing things to come on a Narrative level, opposed to a Destiny/Fate level.
- 2 - Reader Avatar: The User is not of the verse and instead is off the Out-Of-Verse "Real World" whereby they can influence the plot as the Reader, such as stopping, starting, rewriting things into the Plot and being able to ignore elements of the Plot due to the way they see/interpret the Plot. By being outside the Plot, they have resistances to traditional Plot Manipulation, and are often Superior to everyone else within the Narrative, as they write themselves to be.
- 3 - Author Authority: The User is also not of the verse, similar to Reader Avatar, however, unlike Reader Avatar, the User is in fact the Author of the Verse, controlling every facet of the Verse is any capacity, with this the Author can impose anything they like, even over-ruling Reader Avatars and can change virtually anything to virtually anything, such as behavior, ideals, motives, life, reality, death, destiny, magic etc. As the Author, the User can dictate anything about the verse, with Traditional Plot Manipulation and Reader Avatars paling in comparison to their Authority over the Verse.
Limitations
- Even when a character is capable of manipulating the plot, it's still part of the plot, additionally, the User cannot manipulate the Plot of a Higher Dimensional being, as their plot transcends the Lower Dimensional one.
Users
- Gwenpool
- Empty Hands
- Featherine Augustus Aurora
- Tsumugi Shirogane
