Self-Aware

“	Some people call me cocky and brash, but actually, I am just self-assured. I'm nonchalant, imperturbable, contemplative. I play it cool, but I can get hot under the collar. And above all, I'm a very 'aware' character. I'm well aware that I am appearing in an animated cartoon... And sometimes I chomp on my carrot for the same reason that a stand-up comic chomps on his cigar. It saves me from rushing from the last joke to the next one too fast. And I sometimes don't act, I react. And I always treat the contest with my pursuers as 'fun and games.' When momentarily I appear to be cornered or in dire danger and I scream, don't be consoined - it's actually a big put-on. Let's face it, Doc. I've read the script and I already know how it turns out.	„

These are heroes who are often depicted as having "Heightened Awareness" - this is popularly known as "breaking the fourth wall" and was very common in the early days of media but became less popular when works tried to suspend belief, however it is still extremely common in less serious or more surreal works and is also a very common device for certain types of characters. (i.e Cartoons, or Comedy much like with Chowder from the titular series, Gumball Watterson from The Amazing World of Gumball, Sam & Max from the cartoons of the same name who like in their cartoon episodes are often aware of themselves being in the cartoon breaking the fourth wall, etc.)

Often these characters are seen as sensible by those in-universe or exist in such a manner they are fully aware of being "fictional" - advanced narrators, alien beings are likely to have this trait, depending on the writer and/or setting.

In other universes (usually comedy or cartoon-based) it is very common for characters to break the fourth wall and it is accepted as part of everyday life.

Basically characters who either know they are "fictional" or who can interact with their worlds in ways that are impossible (such as taking text from a title screen, interacting with the audience or stealing paint brushes from their animators (if cartoons) etc) without being full-on narrators can be added here.
