Line 164: ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' also features such a character, Major Lorne. * The cast of SG-1 is actually sometimes this for SGA. It's understood that they're still doing big important things that we just don't see. (Especially while their show was actually still going on. There'd often be references to the SG-1 plot - nothing too detailed, but... y'know, just in case you forgot that the Ori and Baal are ''bad.'') * Also showed up on ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' more than once; in the first episode, we see a number of starships (one of which is being captained by Samantha Carter of SG-1), who then slide out of focus as the main plot kicks into gear. They're alluded to a few times afterwards, and a few episodes in the second season involve characters from the previous two series working to get SGU's cast home~~. Given how often Telford appears and disappears, he's an arguable example as well, although this is likely due in part to being played by Lou Diamond Phillips~~. ** That just makes him a recurring character, however. Telford does not appear outside the SGU series, and isn't implied to have a significant role off-screen. * On ''[[The 4400]]'', we have Jed Garrity, another NTAC agent who seems to be the only other person in that department. Incidentally, he's played by the same actor who played Lorne over on [[Stargate Atlantis\|SGA]] * Supporting characters on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' often choose to stay behind on Earth, or similar, in order to have their own adventures. Sarah Jane (twice) and Captain Jack got their own spinoffs. These "adventures" are often referenced when the character returns to the main show. Line 274 ⟶ 273: * [[Banjo-Kazooie]]'s was this in his [[Early-Bird Cameo\|appearance]] in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', according to the game's instructions manual. * ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral\|Fire Emblem Thracia 776]]'' is essentially this for Leaf, a supporting character from ''Fire Emblem Seisen No Keifu'''s second half. The game takes place a year before the second half of Seisen no Keifu and follows Leaf in the Thracian Peninsula fighting against a smaller division of the evil cult that form the main enemies of Seisen no Keifu. * This happens roughly [[Once an Episode\|once per game]] in the ''[[Summon Night]]: Swordcraft Story'' series. Particulary obvious in the second, where a [[Power Trio]] seeeking out a [[MacGuffin]] of some sort briefly cross paths with you and team up to the fight the local baddie, then continue their quest. That would make you this in relation to them, for that matter. * In ''[[Silent Hill: Downpour]]'', the Full Circle ending implies that {{spoiler\|[[Magical Negro\|Howard Blackwood]], [[Blood on These Hands\|JP Sater]], and [[Jive Turkey\|DJ Bobby Ricks]]}} were all Heroes of their own stories, but failed and [[Groundhog Day Loop\|became stuck in Silent Hill limbo]] as a result. * In ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]: Storm of Zehir'', the [[Player Character\|player characters]] are this in relation to the Knight-Captain, the [[Player Character\|PC]] from the first two campaigns. (''SoZ'' takes place during or after ''Mask of the Betrayer'', on the opposite side of the continent.)
