5"I don't know why I have this power, but all I know is I can change everything with it!"
6reroll the die (I ran out of ideas sorry)

Ideals (d6)

1Destiny. "I have a strict script to follow, if it says you die then you die I don't make the rules" (Lawful)
2Entertainment. "Just because your the main character doesn't mean I have to let you live" (Evil)
3Variety. "Narrators can write whatever they want and people have mainly using it for FAIRY TALES? (Chaotic)
4Kindness. "Just because he's cruel doesn't mean his death should be cruel" (Good)
5Chaos. "I don't need a script, just leap into the darkness and hope for the best (True Neutral)
6Uhhh... "It seems you've run out of options, and so did whoever is writing this" (choose yourself/reroll)

Bonds (d6)

1"I tend to not try to get into any relationships, since I know the exact moment anyone could die."
2"I try to lay low, since if anyone finds out about my power, I'll never have a moment without someone asking me about the future."
3"I usually end up forgetting I'm the narrator, so whenever someone asks a question whoever they asked kind of just stares blankly until I remember that I have to narrate."
4"I couldn't care less about anyone I meet, they're all just pawns to me."

Flaws (d6)

1"I tend to act like I'm a god, mainly because I am, after all I'm the one continuing everyone's tale, I can end all them with the flick of a pen."
2"whenever someone dies, I feel like the blood is on my hands, since I can change the script, but I didn't and let them die."
3"You have to be good at reading to be a narrator, and apparently knowing cursive was one of the requirements, why they still let me do it? I don't know."
4"Whenever someone dies I always feel like I have the blood on my hands, so I'm usually always really guilty."
5"I'm always scared of getting stepped on when I'm smaller and narrating, even though I can just write that I don't."
6"I'm very overprotective of the script and all my equipment, someone could just take it and rewrite the whole universe!"
