Writing Prompt The lore of your Narrator

[Scaletalon]

I'm pretty sure we all know who the narrator is. But have you ever thought of why the narrator is telling the story in the 1st place. So for this one we'll add some conditions
1. You must talk about who the Narrator is
2. Why is he telling the story?
3. Who's he telling the story to?
And that's pretty much it.

 

[Puji-Maki]

The narrator is basically me. I write and tell the stories that are happening in my head. Also, my lore is a secret.

Depends on the story. In Strange Awakening, Kelly is telling his/her story pretty much as it happens as an effort to make sense of it in his own head.
Jack is trying to figure out how he got where he is and is relating those events where he can.
Indigo feels a need to tell his stories on the advent of an event that changes everything (and ultimately kills him); he began this at the birth of his child, remembering how it all began for him, and continues until the event. Someone else is doing framing passages and preparing to take over eventually.
But the narrator in Between Worlds is one of the setting's deities, relating observations of a series of key events (well, except the one passage where a dragon tries to take over).
The other ones are, I guess, just me, telling stories that I've "seen"

 

[Rhaps]

The narrator in my story is an actual character. The second being to be born aftwr the big bang, whom domain is stories and has the authority to see everything through anyone's eyes, which also include the readers. I even made a LotM style Honorific Name for it.

Watcher of Nathamoor (Tale)
Poet of all Stories
Omniscient Gaze and Guide
Celestial Embodiment of Vision
The Eyes beyond the Veil of Reality

my story is third person so for me the narrator isn't really a person, I treat it like the screen of a TV, the voice tries to stay descriptive and clear and accurate, but I do let get influenced a tiny bit by the person who is currently the main focus of the chapter. So like, if we're in the antagonists chapter it'll be a bit more cold, he'll inhabit Aurelio's mood a little bit, and on the opposite spectrum, when it's with the Protagonist, it's slightly more shy, cautious, and even a little annoyed. But it never fully embodies any character, unless we go directly into the mind of a character with italics.

 

[Forcalor]

It is an extradimensional spirit of chaos who invades points of view of the characters of the narratives and relays the events in his own voice... But sh-h-h... don't tell that to anyone.

 

[Mad-Sibyl]

In mine--Defensive Magic-- the narrator is a sarcastic mage in denial about the fact that he's slowly turning into a werewolf. The story is his journals, meant to chronicle his first year attending his magical grad school. He tells this story to himself-- sometimes lying, often poorly.

[laccoff_mawning]

I write in first person perspective. So my story's narrator is the MC. He's telling the story cause I want him to. He's telling the story to the readers.

On a more serious note, no I haven't given those types of questions much thought.

My narrator...watch the first George of the Jungle movie and you will understand.

Chad me narrator too, relatable.

 

[Epithet]

The Narrator is a multiversal force that represents Perspective, alongside other forces such as Fate, Evil and Good. Their job is to give beings from higher worlds a convenient viewpoint of lower worlds in the form of visions and ideas given to certain people of higher worlds a general outlook on the lower world.
The end result may differ from the reality of that world, but it can be changed over time by The Narrator.
