Like the name says, the Chooser Of The One is the character who finds and chooses TheChosenOne. The Chooser can go about this a few different ways. They may possess a [[FateAndProphecyTropes book or prophecy]] that describes TheChosenOne, or a means of picking them out of a crowd, or they may be a prophet or seer of some kind who can [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling sense]] the One. Once found or selected, the chooser may take on the role of {{Mentor}} and start training them, tell them of their destiny, or simply deliver the CallToAdventure and hope they [[JumpedAtTheCall accept it.]]

* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', the elven cleric Schuldich Cedheros is the sole survivor of the massacre of his order and is sent by the Gods of Order to find wielders for two special enchanted weapons, Dusk and Dawn, which the chosen ones will be destined to use to fight the forces of Chaos. Schuldich manages to deliver Dusk to its intended bearer but narrowly fails with Dawn (he did find two candidates for Dawn's intended bearer but before he could figure out which of the two women were meant to have the sword, an evil goddess appeared, killed him and stole the sword right in front of the women's noses).
** Leon also ends up in this role when he is tasked with finding the bearer of the Silver Branch whose destiny is to stop the Landpoison of Yamato and heal the wound on the earth caused by the dark god Mardük's tainted magic.

* In ''RiceBoy'', T-O-E is the last of a group of three searchers, given a divine mandate to find and designate the Fulfiller of an ancient prophecy. The twist is that T-O-E's word is no indication that a chosen individual will actually fulfill the prophecy. One of the other searchers, Calabash, quit the job precisely because he was tired of choosing Fulfillers who go KnightTemplar or mess up just as bad in some other fashion.
