Fan Casting Cosmic Plaything in Sort by Tropes

Most of us believe that our decisions have some influence on our lives. We think we are in control, but sometimes, there's the sneaking suspicion that an influence doesn't like us, or maybe it does like us, but only in an abusive way. Their destiny is to be the universe's Butt-Monkey to an extreme degree until the day they die. These characters don't just suspect, they know.

They might figure out some of the "rules", like the what and the where, but the how and the why is a complete mystery.
