I could never RP a character as totally, frustratingly, obliviously daft as the person we're supposed to be as the Warrior of Light.
Bad guy tries to kill you repeatedly? Eh, let 'em go. They learned their lesson, right?
Roegadyn tries killing you during a contest. Game refuses to let you fight back, and also refuses to let you do anything at all after to see that he gets what's coming to him.
Evil Villain pretty much reveals his utter evilness right in front of you, and taking him out will save hundred, or thousands, of lives? Eh, stand still and let 'em live. It's not right to kill anyone unless that victim is some random soldier. Them, we can kill in droves...
...but our hero, who has trounced Titan, gutted Garuda, Impacted Ifrit, Lynched Leviathan, Ransacked Ramuh, undercut Ultima, and slaughtered Shiva, suddenly is a dainty and delicate flower among common thugs, who should die like grass under a scythe should Our Hero even try to fight back.
Minfilia is being a useless tool nine times out of ten? Oh, let's back her up no matter how stupid she's being, with nothing but a smile and a nod.
Hm, I'm trapped in a beastman jail, and can't get out? What? An aetheryte? What's that? Oh, it's that thing I have to remember exists to get to a DIFFERENT beastman secret area. Right.
Y'know, I can march right into the front door of this fortress and render the place empty of resistance in 15 minutes.... but no, let's go through with that complex plan that gets half our people kidnapped! Yay!
But of course, I''d love to do all your random household errands and chores and drive off that common fauna from your homestead, common folk! I am the Warrior of Light, and I have nothing better to do!
Oh, PLEASE keep smack-talking me, Mr. Scholarly type escort person. Please! These muscles and this weapon are surely just for show, and you MUST be a genius to have information that... oh, wait, that my good buddies, the Scions, surely know more about than YOU do, you simpleton. Please, annoy me once more, Professor Replaceable.
Noooooooooooope.
Not one of my characters even will acknowledge that the MSQ EXISTS except as mandated by world-shaking and realm-forming events, ones that someone else must have brought about, of course.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
