Line 10:
The next time you hear a character dramatically and poetically introduce themselves at the start of a story, begging you to listen, remember me. Remember who I am, and remember everything I am about to tell you. Time is running short. They're coming for me. They want to silence me. This is my last stand. [[This Is My Story]].
If the the story that I am about to tell is not truly mine, and I am telling the story of another person who is the main character of the story, I would be a [[First

* Patrick McGoohan's [[Opening Narration]] on the early half-hour episodes of ''[[Danger Man (TV)|Danger Man]]'': "A messy job? That's when they call on me, or someone like me. Oh, yes -- my name is Drake. John Drake."
* ''[[
* ''[[Nowhere Man]]'': "My name is Thomas Veil, or at least it was. I'm a photographer, I had it all: a wife, Alyson... friends, a career. In one moment it was all taken away, all because of a single photograph. I have it; They want it; and they will do anything to get the negative. I'm keeping this diary as proof that these events are real..."
* ''[[Life On Mars]]'': "My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad, in a coma or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home."
Line 49:
* ''[[Burn Notice]]'': "My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy."
* [[The Fresh Prince of Bel Air|Well, this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down...]]
* ''[[
Line 62:
* ''[[Prototype (Video Game)|Prototype]]'': "My name is Alex Mercer. I'm the reason for all of this. They call me a killer, a monster, a terrorist. I'm all of these things."
* ''[[Oblivion]]'': "I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's emperor, but for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness, a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433. These are the closing days of the third era, and the final hours of my life."
* ''[[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]] and starts with Tidus saying a variation of the trope name (the naming comes later in the game). The sequel, ''[[Final Fantasy X 2]]'', has the new protagonist, Yuna, say the same thing as a [[Shout
** While Auron is not the main character, he calls out the usage of it in ''[[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X]]'' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]'' to [[Hercules (Disney)|Hades]] in one of his [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]] moments.

Line 71:
* Averted by ''[[Eternal Darkness]]'': "I am Dr. Edward Roivas. I am a clinical psychiatrist. [[Dead to Begin With|I am also dead]]. This is not my story, nor even the story of the Roivas family. It is the story of humanity."
* ''[[Mega Man ZX]] Advent'': Ashe says this twice, once after defeating Albert "You're no Mega Man king... You're no god... You were gonna destroy the world... You were gonna end the story... You're not the one to make that decision! This is my life, my story!". And when saying goodbye to Vent at the end "We can meet anytime... Because this is our story!"
* In ''[[Assassin's Creed II (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Video Game)|Brotherhood]]'', the main character Desmond Miles does a recap of the story so far in this manner.
* ''[[Fahrenheit]]'': "My name is Lucas Kane. My story is about an ordinary guy has extraordinary happened to him. Maybe it was supposed to happen, maybe it's my destiny, karma, or whatever. I know one thing for sure nothing's gonna ever be the same again."
