The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Not quite. The closest subtype listed on the page was people who thought they were those things in some other world or consciousness or whatever, and that's not quite what I'm looking for. Picture a kid going around a totally normal school or town acting like a dramatized vampire or ninja. In fact, I think I see this a lot in comedy, where there's that one recurring background character who constantly pretends s/he's something else, so it's got to have been troped by now.
No, that's not it at all, sorry.
It sounds like its kinda related to Vampire Wannabe, but other than that I've got nothing.

No, not quite...damn. >.< Thanks anyway guys. I have a great reconstruction example from an obscure source, so it sucks that there's (apparently) nowhere to put it.
A bit of an overlap with Being Human Sucks (Type 3)?

What is the trope for when a character is so obsessed with some fictional trait (such as vampires, werewolves, ninjas, pirates) that he (or she) is utterly convinced that he himself is one?
