Line 306:
** To make it worse, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|this speeds up The Void]], to the point where it [[The End of the World as We Know It|destroys the multiverse]]; it's hardly a spoiler to say that everything turns out all right in the end, though.
* The Player Character is this in ''[[Dark Souls]]''. No matter what you do, by beating the game you're just a pawn in an [[Ancient Conspiracy]] and [[Forever War]] regarding whether the Age of Fire should continue or end.
* [[Pirate Girl| Risky Boots]] from the ''[[Shantae]]'' series; from ''Risky's Revenge'' onward, manipulating others to meet her goals has pretty much been her MO in every one of her schemes.
 
== [[Visual Novels]] ==
* Mary in ''[[Shikkoku no Sharnoth]]'' is obviously the pawn of multiple competing factions, but doesn't realize it fully until well into the story.
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
 
* In the [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad Email]] [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail98.html 'stupid stuff'], Strong Bad makes a bet with Kevin Grumbles that he can make Homestar say something intelligent. In desperation, he tries saying something nonsensical (''[[Word Salad|"I say there, Homestar...butt's twelve by pies?"]]''); as it turns out, Homestar apparently made his ''own'' bet with Kevin Grumbles that he could make Strong Bad say something stupid, and Strong Bad just won it for him. The real kicker is that Kevin actually wanted Strong Bad to make Homestar say something ''stupid'', but Strong Bad thought that too little challenge. Perhaps he should've asked an insultingly simple math question. He could have at least gotten Coulomb's law out of it. He also gets suckered in the game ''Strong Badia the Free''. {{spoiler|He spends the entire game trying to become the new king, only to find out that it was all a ploy by the King of Town to get Strong Bad stuck in the castle and the King in Strong Bad's position.}}
