Fourth wall? What fourth wall?

Suddenly, characters are aware. Of what? Of everything. They know they come from a book, game, anime, what have you; they know they're being played badly by their muns; they know that hey, you're just doing this to embarrass me, aren't you? So better watch out; characters are busting through that fourth wall! Hopefully they can handle the knowledge... and hopefully you can handle your character.
