I very much like Gaspard's description. I don't really know what my characters would classify as though.
One one hand you have a Miqo'te from Ishgard who grew up a pretty crumby life in poverty and trying to hide his identity to the point where while being extremely social he is also extremely detached from most of everyone. This has its own negative side effects when it comes to his own self created problems or feelings of loneliness and he has no one to turn to. In regards to combat he is "Alright". He is not weak. But he is not strong either. He is mostly learning.
My other character is that which I think pushes some peoples boundaries. He is a Garlean from upper class Society who became a accomplished Engineer. But his thirst for knowledge led him to steal information from Garlemald and this put him in such a pressurized situation that he snapped. He is a extremely knowledgeable person when it comes to Magitek to the point where he will act like he knows almost everything. But his lofty attitude and background isolate him and he is commonly refered to as an asshole who does not know any better. He has a terrible time getting along with other characters outside of an engineering setting and his insanity makes him fearless, for both the better, and the worse. He has pretty much no fighting ability what so ever. But he does have tools that help him run away. And a gun blade which acts as good as point and shoot and to serve for intimidation. (Although that was taken away from him) From a technological standpoint he could be considered overpowered. As well as his knowledge of most things (Because of his good education in upper class Garlemald) but if OPness is decided only by fighting he would be pretty darn weak.
