You Are Now This Guy

A trope featured extensively in and named by Jailbreak, Problem Sleuth and Homestuck. Shortly after a character is introduced, player control is switched to that character, usually with the statement "you are now this guy." Under this trope, the change in control can sometimes be irreversible by the player, or alternatively the pool of characters which can be controlled by the players can be expanded.
== Examples ==
* Amnesia Man
* Create.swf Adventures: Shenanigans in a Magical Forest
Subverted when it turns out that everyone was being controlled by a mushroom, and the changes in perspective were just changes in who it was controlling. Used straight up after the mushroom attained sentience.
*Generic Orange Dinosaur
*The Grand Bus Adventure
*Homelysong
*Lucky Cookie
*Mirror Image
Control switches to Myra Orre after a Red Darts incident.
*Panopoly
*Subverted in Red Tie Massacre
"Haha. Just kidding. You aren't Terry at all."
*Sminly
*Space Opera - The Drip Chronicles
*Tetris (possibly subverted, as it's used every time a piece hits the bottom!)
*You Are Here
