| abstract | - Character comes across some kind of definition that the audience, or other characters, know to be right about him. The character is the only one who is unaware of that. Usually Played for Laughs. May come in a variety of ways:
* Someone tells something about an unspecified someone. The character asks, "Who would be that?" The reply is, "That would be you."
* The character hears a word or expression for the first time and asks out loud what it means. Perhaps it is beyond the character's vocabulary, perhaps it comes from a Fictionary. Irony is, the character is a walking example of the word.
* There is a picture, drawing or wanted sign of the character. He fails to see himself in it. An embarrassed or hypocritical character might act like this, while keeping quiet about knowing the description is accurate. Compare Failed a Spot Check. Examples of Oblivious to His Own Description include:
