| It’s easy to tell when a character is about to do a heel turn when they can’t keep their mouths shut, but who could expect it from someone who was rarely in frame, whose lines were never the focus of the story, whose motivations were never the priority? Typecast: The player must stay in character as a [secret villain] or else all of their tropes will be unquipped. Setup: The user can enter storylines to manipulate their starting position in a manner related to their role without triggering the Omen. The user will be cast as a minor antagonist. Their schemes succeed or fail based on the true antagonist's stats in addition to their own. Before the storyline begins, the user may circumvent the omen and manipulate the setup to include fellow players as victims, or otherwise place protagonists at an extreme starting disadvantage. The Omen must be triggered by other players. The more difficult the startup for the players, the more all enemies’ Plot Armor and stats will be debuffed. The user receives direction from the script to enact the antagonist's will. Allies will have reduced Insight into the user while this trope is in use. The true measure of a protagonist isn’t that they do good or bad, but that they push the story forward. Just don’t push it further than you can handle.
