Ahmad

## **Character Profile: Ahmad**

**Alias:** *The Author, The Watcher, The Hand, or simply “Ahmad”*

**Alignment:** Unknown (beyond hero, villain, or antihero — he is something else entirely)

**First Appearance:** *Hidden cameos across multiple Ahmad Verse stories*

**Powers/Abilities:**

* **Reality Manipulation (Author’s Pen):** Ahmad can rewrite reality itself. He decides who lives, who dies, and what events unfold. His creations cannot escape his influence.

* **Metafiction Awareness:** He knows the universe is a constructed story. He sees the “strings” tying events together and can pull them at will.

* **Existence Bending:** He can erase weapons, restore injuries, pause time, or alter environments by simply *deciding it is so*.

* **Variable Form:** Ahmad can appear differently in each story — new hairstyle, clothing, even slight personality shifts — because he is always “rewritten.”

### **Backstory (or lack thereof):**

Ahmad lives in an ordinary apartment, blending in with society. To most, he is just a normal man. But in truth, he is the **creator of everything** — every hero, villain, city, and tragedy in the Ahmad Verse.

At first, Ahmad merely **watched from the shadows**. He appeared at battlefields, crime scenes, even funerals, standing quietly as though observing his own work. Graffiti reading *“Ahmad was here”* or cryptic warnings like *“Look out, Ahmad is coming”* began appearing worldwide. No one understood the meaning.

Eventually, the government took notice, hunting for this mysterious figure. When Ahmad was brought in, they believed him to be a simple graffiti criminal. But when he effortlessly broke free of guards and froze the room around him, the truth emerged: **he was the architect of their world.**

### **Role in the Ahmad Verse:**

Ahmad is not a traditional hero or villain. He is **the storyteller inside the story.**

* To some heroes, he is a cruel person who toys with their lives.

* To others, he is salvation — the one who can undo death and suffering.

* To villains, he is the greatest threat, for he cannot be beaten with strength or cunning.

His true nature creates **existential horror**:, nothing else matters. Yet, he doesn’t always intervene. Sometimes he lets events spiral out of control, just to see what his creations will do.

### **Themes:**

* **Control vs Free Will:** Do the heroes really choose their paths, or is Ahmad pulling the strings?

* **Creator vs Creation:** What happens when characters confront their maker?
