Dr. Gerald Protagonism>

[AmogusSusfunni]

Dr. Gerald's article says he's a Protagonist (therefore giving him Plot Manip and Reality Warping). But the sources cited don't say anything about Gerald and I can't find anything relating to this topic on the SCP Wiki. Should this be removed?

In the cited sources BLANK and CAST, Placeholder mentions that a majority of Foundation staff are protagonists in their own right. We can assume this means named doctors since the relationship between Swann and The Foundation is a parallel to us the readers and the story we are reading. In this way, the tales Gerald are a part of make him a "protagonist".

It comes from the Archetypical series of tales. Which establishes that all "protagonists" have some very slight amount of plot hax and reality warping.

The issue is that Dr. Gerald isn't connected to those tales to my knowledge, and I'd rather not give these abilities to anything unconnected to those tales that might count as a "protagonist", since we know that this kind of lore can just as well not apply to specific stories. I'd rather keep it for canons that actually display pataphysics in some way in it.
