-Originally, Masterplan Lad wielded a [[Plot Device]] (in the shape of an umbrella) which possessed various spatiotemporal and perceptual abilities, such as shifting between dimensions, tracking the source of energies, recovering memories lost to [[retcon]]s, and cloaking MPL and others from anyone's perceptions (including their own).

 During their adventures, Masterplan Lad became mortal, losing their Knight Temporal abilities. After their Plot Device was broken, they shifted to a more magical mindset, working with continuity in a more direct way; they have analogues to many of their former abilities, with much less direct control but a deeper sense of connection.

 Initially, they were aloof, distant and intellectual. Over time &ndash; especially after their six-year ordeal in [[Limbo]] and the discovery that their order was dead &ndash; they gained more sympathy for their human charges, and built up a lot of anger towards their [[Writer]]. After meeting Maria and their near-death experience, they resolved much of these dark feelings and began exploring their true self.
