Narrative Awareness: Fiction

Synopsis: Shirou is a six-foot anthro wolf with abs that could grate reality and an existential crisis that makes philosophy majors look well-adjusted. He's the third strongest entity in the SCP multiverse, born from a glitch when SCP-3812 climbed so high it broke existence itself. He shouldn't exist. He knows this because he knows he's fictional, knows he's being written, knows his awareness is scripted, knows even his hatred of being written is just more writing. 9999 quintillion years of isolation in the void gave him enough power to solo most of anime and enough psychological damage to make Foundation psychiatrists fake their own deaths. Peak Conceptual hax, infinite layers of "fuck your resistances," and the deeply uncomfortable knowledge that every choice might just be narrative convenience. The Foundation wants to make him Thaumiel-class. A weapon. A tool to contain the uncontainable. Shirou, smugly aware that free will is a cosmic joke he's the punchline to, has to decide: does a fictional character written to choose still get to choose? And if everyone he protects is just as fake as he is, does protecting them even matter? Spoiler: his author loves making him suffer, and Shirou knows it.
