I don't have a fourth wall.
So this is a permissions post. Here's how it works, according to my psychopath of a mundane:
No Fourth Wall: The fourth wall doesn't exist for him. Johnny is aware that Cape and Cowl is a Livejournal RP on some level; on the most basic level he can see icons and usernames.
With permission, he can see struck text, title text, have awareness of events that happen in open RP posts and memes in goshdarnspam, and will confuse characters with each other based on who plays them (thus, to Johnny, Edgeworth is the same person as Godzilla). He may occasionally complain about being at the whim of a bored college student.
*e* He can, and will, talk about how this is a game, talk about how this is on Livejournal, tell you that you're being played by someone, talk about "strings", and talk to his mun. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE EXPOSED TO THIS SAY SO NOW. IF THIS IS COOL, ALSO SAY SO.
Please, PLEASE let me know what Johnny CAN and CANNOT do. You may pick and choose; this power is rather random and... bizarre.
NOTE that this doesn't usually translate into the normal kind of fourth wall break! Johnny doesn't show very much knowledge of pop culture in canon - The Simpsons is mentioned, as is Calvin and Hobbes (looking at YOU, Calvin) but the book isn't very big on pop culture wallbreak.
... if you're from classical literature though, watch the fuck out. Also, really well known characters (batman, spiderman, Godzilla, etc)
AS A FINAL ASIDE CONCERNING FOURTH WALL BREAKAGE - Note that the book House of Leaves exists within Johnny's canon in two forms - one is a book that Will Navidson burns whilst trapped within the house; one is implied to be the first edition of the actual book, which Johnny himself reads and claims he didn't know he published (!). THEREFORE, even if House of Leaves didn't exist in the City before (likely, since Johnny is from Los Angeles and LA as we know it doesn't exist here), it does now, as the book it is in real life. Characters are free to pick it up and read it; Johnny may even talk about 'that book I edited'. Yes, this is the exact opposite of the normal rule. Enjoy your literature, CnC.
I have one other power.
Right, yes. Hahaha~
Detect Leather Pants: Johnny is instantly and immediately aware of who in the city is wearing leather pants, what kind of leather it is, and what sort of zipper the pants have.
SO DOES YOUR CHARACTER WEAR LEATHER PANTS. SPEAK UP.
*e* One more thing about powers!
Items in red struck text (ro sometimes purple struck text) are COMPLETELY readable by everyone. Johnny is incapable of having struck text.
