Forgettable Character: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Memories of families and friends are a wonderful thing, though there are times when a character is missing or rather forgotten. At times, even the whole world, universe, [[Alternate Reality| alternate reality]]'s characters forgets that a certain character exists as though he (or she) in question wasn't born: when this happens, this is a forgotten character.

~~Although~~ the [[Hero]], [[Anti-Hero]], or rarely [[The Big Bad]]~~, at times~~ wants to be forgotten to [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies|not imperil others]], so his or her foes would not harm those in any way shape or form, so he leaves his family and friends. An [[Up to Eleven]] example is when the character in question didn't exist at all, which does not explain all the interactions and "stopping the fate of the world ending" earlier.

Sometimes the [[Hero]], [[Anti-Hero]], or (rarely) [[The Big Bad]] wants to be forgotten to [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies|not imperil others]], so his or her foes would not harm those in any way shape or form. Usually, he leaves his family and friends. An [[Up to Eleven]] example is when the character in question didn't exist at all, which does not explain all the interactions and "stopping the fate of the world ending" earlier.

The milder examples are the insanely [[Ridiculously Average Guy|mundane]] that not one of his friends or foes remembers, especially if the world he lives in is fantastical or a world populated with superheroes and villains. The latter can get overshadowed, especially if he or she doesn't have anything of a notable role or cool power.
