Immune to Fate: Difference between revisions

* Sartorious from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' is basically fated to win any duel he enters, which automatically gives him the best of all possible outcomes in his very luck based deck. That is, until he met [[Boring Invincible Hero|Jaden...]]

* This is the ultimate goal of [[Berserk|Guts]] (and the [[The Mentor|Skull Knight]]). After the events of the Eclipse, he has vowed to [[Screw Destiny]] and [[Rage Against the Heavens]], occupied by the [[Big Bad|God Hand]] who control and use fate to their advantage. While he didn't die the day he was fated to (thanks to a combination of being improbably [[Badass]] and the timely intervention of the Skull Knight), he does not yet truly qualify for this trope as the Brand of Sacrifice is still trying (and failing) to "correct the mistake" fate made by drawing demons to him at night to kill him.

* Bellcross of ''[[Heroic Age]]'''s special power is "existence". He's punched his way out of a black hole he was trapped in, and was in one case attacked by a time traveler in tens of thousands of different timelines at various points. He survived in ''all of them''.

* Yukiteru Amano from [[Future Diary]] could not only change his own fate, but also others' fate.

{{quote|'''Arsenal:''' ''"All you're telling me is that I've pissed in your Cheerios more than once, and I did it beside Donna. Lemme tell you, those are two things that make me a very happy little camper...And hey, extra bonus for me at the end of it? I pissed you off when I didn't even mean to! Little ol' me. [[Badass Normal|A guy. A dude. A very attractive but semi-normal human fleshbag.]] Man, I'm good."''}}

* Mana Kirishima seems to have this power in ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]''. Nowhere in the prophecies does it mention anything about her, so when she gets {{spoiler|Magnos Tancred}} and hence the actual ability to influence Angel-level fights, she can do things forbidden by them.

** {{spoiler|At the end of the second trilogy, it's revealed that he has this power - and more - due to being created by Bhelliom, the universe-transcending entity that created the world. Due to unwariness on its own part, it became trapped in the form of a gemstone, and 'created' Anakha to have the power to free it. Because he was created by something older than the gods themselves, they hold no power over him...}}

* In the later ''[[Dune]]'' books by [[Frank Herbert]], the God Emperor Leto II spends three and a half thousand years breeding humans to make a gene as widespread as possible that prevents prescient people from seeing what people with the gene are going to do.

** More literally, there is Coin the Sourcerer from ''[[Discworld/Sourcery|Sourcery]]'' - according to Death, {{smallcaps|Sourcerers make their own destiny. They touch the world lightly.}}

* The entire Kender race (most notably, Tasselhoff Burrfoot) in the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' series, because they were created by mistake (as opposed to, say, Elves and Men).

* In ''[[Supernatural]]'''s fifth season, Sam and Dean are constantly told by the angels that, {{spoiler|as the human vessels of Lucifer and Michael}}, they are fated to give in and that no matter how hard they try to avoid it, it's inevitably going to happen anyway. {{spoiler|Sam eventually says yes to Lucifer, but Dean does not, forcing Michael to adopt their half-brother Adam Milligan as a makeshift vessel.}}

** To be fair, the angels are kinda dicks. They might well have been lying about fate.

*** Because they are so entwined in Destiny the brothers seem mostly unaffected when {{spoiler|Balthazar stops the Titanic from sinking}} and changes the timeline in a major way. The closer people and things are to the brothers and their destiny, the less affected are they by the changes.

* In ''[[The Cape (2010 TV series)|The Cape]]'' Dice is unable to see Vince in her predictions.

* In ''[[Digger]]'', wombats are rarely, if ever, mentioned in any prophecy even when things they ''cause'' are (such as the hole Digger uses to reach the surface at the story's beginning). This is actually Justified, as one of Digger's ancestors demanded making his children and descendants Immune to Fate his price {{spoiler|for helping in the binding of a mad god.}} The ''only'' ones who seem able to give wombat-specific prophecies are slugs.

* In ''[[Captain SNES]]'', the Sovereign of Sorrow is capable of seeing everyone's future... except {{spoiler|[[Meaningful Name|Schrodinger the cat]]}}. This character has already interfered with several of the Sovereign's prophecies.

* According to characters in ''[[Homestuck]]'', Equius has this power. However, he's very traditional and predictable to those who know him, rendering it dubiously useful. {{spoiler|It isn't revealed until after he's dead either.}}

* Parson from ''[[Erfworld]]'', by virtue of being able to subvert and outright ''break'' some of the rules that define Erfworld. Some residents of Erfworld hope that he will be able to break the "game" and bring true peace. Others are terrified of him for the same reason.
