Creating a fictional subcategory that can be applied to any character, treating it as some sort of rarity or shocking twist, and then applying it to most or all of the cast. Possible as a method to create a Meta Origin; its effectiveness/appeal may vary. Compare Flock of Wolves, which has the similar "minority is actually majority" premise, but is about loyalty to a group rather than innate characteristics. Also Everyone Is Related, where the category is a family, and Uniqueness Decay. Contrast They Look Like Us Now. This is a Spoilered Rotten trope, which means that EVERY SINGLE EXAMPLE on this list is a spoiler by default and most of them will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned. |

From Kingdom Hearts II onwards, almost every single mysterious character manages to be a form of Sora, no matter how illogical or unlikely it seems. The only ones who aren't are the ones who actually turn out to be a form of Xehanort. | |

Part of the point of Paranoia is that player characters are dystopian special forces charged with exterminating mutants and secret society conspirators. The players, but not their characters, are fully aware that everyone in this dystopia is a conspirator and mutant. | |

The Discworld novel Monstrous Regiment is about a Sweet Polly Oliver going off to war. Gradually over the course of the story, she discovers that more and more of her comrades are also women, some in more convincing disguises than others. All of them, in fact, including the troll. Even the bluff old Sergeant Rock, who also happens to be aware that a good third of the high command are women in disguise, along with Nuggan-knows how many of the troops. The country has been at war for so long that all the men have simply been killed off. | |

Dungeons & Dragons and similar High Fantasy campaigns can fall into this if the GM puts a Ban on Magic in their setting, or just tries to make magic more rare. Due to the high percentage of magic-using character classes, your party will almost inevitably be majority wielders of "rare" and "hidden" sorceries. | |

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Shadowplay", Odo and Dax beam down to a village and investigate the disappearance of a number of villagers. It turns out the village and its inhabitants are holograms - news which they take surprisingly well - and the device that powers them is wearing down. Dax is able to fix the device, but not before discovering that the village elder is a flesh-and-blood life form and the creator of everyone and everything around him. He doesn't want his fellow villagers to know he's different from them and responsible for their existence; Dax and Odo agree not to tell them. | |

Neo Yokio: Near the end of Charles' story in "Pink Christmas", Kaz reads Aunt Angelique's memoir and discovers that his demon-hunting Magistocrat family actually has demonic ancestry. Later, the Great Demon confirms this and takes it a step further: not only is the Kaan family descended from demons but every single Magistocratic family is also descended from a group of demons who used their powers to hunt other demons in exchange for money and social standing, making every demon hunter a demon in disguise. | |

Chrestomanci: In Witch Week, the protagonist is secretly a person with innate magical talent in a world where such "witches" are feared and hunted. He learns that one of the other students at the school he attends is also secretly a witch. Then another. And another. Also, some of the teachers. (The deputy principal isn't really a miser, he just has no money because he's a witch and the principal is blackmailing him with the threat of exposure. The principal, unbeknownst to him, is also a witch.) In the end it turns out that, as a result of a supernatural event in the 17th century, everybody in the world is a witch, but they're all hiding it from each other for fear of persecution. | |

When My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic revealed the existence of shapeshifting changelings, fanfics with the premise "X was secretly a changeling all along" started popping up—enough to become a cliche. Three different authors independently parodied the trend by writing stories where everyone was a changeling all along: Changelings, Changelings Everywhere, Changeling, and Everyone's a Changeling. | |

The superhero team Great Lakes Avengers, renamed themselves The Great Lakes X-Men after finding out that every single one of them was actually an X-Men-style mutant. This was also a parody of the then-popular various "X-Titles". It's a justified trope in the Marvelverse, mind; most superhero origins are one-in-a-billion freak occurrences, or inventions by 99.999999th-percentile geniuses who for some reason keep their potentially world-changing inventions to themselves. Meanwhile, mutants actually are a notable demographic. |

The second Battlestar Galactica made nearly half the cast Cylon infiltators. Although there was plenty of evidence to suggest that Tyrol was one, and even that Tigh OR Ellen was one — which necessitates the other. Not to mention precedent of sleeper agents. This was not planned out in advance, however, but rather a hasty improvisation by the writers. | |
