fourth wall permissions post
Travis is a fourth wall breaker and a nerd; he both knows that he is fictional and may or may not know your character! Please let me know if you'd like to opt out or avoid anything in our threads.
He will primarily know animanga and video games (including indie games), but he is also pop culture aware enough that he'll recognize other well known franchises, i.e. Star Wars or a major comic book character. Things he especially loves that get direct references in canon include American and Japanese pro-wrestling and lucha libre, Gundam, Takashi Miike's films, and Kamen Rider. As Travis Strikes Again was released in 2019, he will have no knowledge of any canons from 2020 onward.
If you are not opting out entirely, Travis can know either the actual canon or a fake version--i.e. Wendy the Werewolf Stalker as opposed to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If you have any other special requests for this, I'm happy to work with you. Of course, even if he can fourth wall your characters, he's not going to give out plot details or spoilersunless you want him to and I'll absolutely never info-mod in my tags.
If I ever go too far with breaking the fourth wall in tags, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll happily correct my mistake. Thanks!

Game: Etraya
Characters: Sciel from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025)
Can Travis fourth wall your characters?: COE33 and its development are in your boy’s future, which is tragic because I’m sure if he DID know, he would have SUCH funny opinions about an AA game made by former Ubisoft devs getting nominated for the big awards as an “indie” game. :(
What can he know and what should he avoid?: While he won’t know COE33 itself, he may note:
- Sciel (and her canonmates) canonically have inventory hammerspace, wow, video games continue to be real! \o/
- If they ever had cause to fight/spar… I’m sorry that the way she fights is like, stupid JRPG mechanics that are practically impossible to translate into anything normal but would probably activate Travis’s goopy goblin gamer brain. For Travis and only Travis, I will ham it up.
- Also, from her experiences in Etraya, Sciel suspects she’s from a future/destroyed/AU version of real-world France, so if Travis is ever in the position to do any sort of blahblahblahing about that, that’s fine if it veers meta/media-talky as well! She won’t recognize it as such.
