Capabilities[]
The user controls, shapes, and determines their entire life, plot, events, and story (personal and otherwise). Including every encounter/meetings, past, future, quest(s), their destiny (or lack thereof), travels, path, personality/behavior, reincarnation, lifespan, skills/talent, class/job/profession, dreams/aspirations/goals, and each and every other facet/detail/aspect of their own life. Potentially even extending to how their life will end and/or if they will simply transcend or renew it instead of perishing.
Since the user is the one who decides what their life will eventually develop into and how it will play out, even their evolution and growth as an individual or group is under their command. Due to the nature of the power, they cannot be tied down by any specific event or ability that would try a rewrite their lives/plot other than one's hand and desires.

As Krypton's first natural birth in centuries, Superman (DC Extended Universe) possesses free will, meaning every decision that he makes is his alone and not controlled or forced upon him by any means, unlike his genetically engineered brethren who are programmed from conception for a predetermined role in Kryptonian society.
Due to his resurrection as a wraith, Raziel (Legacy of Kain) is the only being in Nosgoth that is exempt from the Wheel of Fate, granting him full control over how his destiny and life unfolds; not even the omniscient Moebius can predict his path, merely echoes of potential actions.
As the Purple Dragon, Spyro (The Legend of Spyro series) is able to guide the fate of the era he is born into, allowing him to follow his own path; this enables him to alter destiny if he doesn't like what's supposed to happen or go along with it if he does.
Unlike the other protagonists, Lute (Saga Frontier) doesn't truly have a quest of his own, instead his story is more about him finding his own goal and place in the world. Making him only character who can create his own path/story without being tied down a single true objective...
...Due to his own overall plot being completely open and free, he can personally appear in every other character's quest as a recruitable party member without worrying about being rejected as a possible ally.
Sephiroth's defiance of Destiny (Final Fantasy VII Remake) is responsible for the new path, creating an alternate timeline; one without Fate's intervention, allowing there to be "freedom" of life determination.
Being considered a Living Anomaly, Miles Morales (Spider-Man: Spider-Verse trilogy) choose to write his own story instead of doing things like the other Spider-Men.
