I base my characters off of people I know IRL rather than a fictional character. Kale is heavily inspired by a collection of Army/AF noncommissioned officers I know IRL, and an amalgamation of their best traits while creating a unique set of negative traits. By this point, he is his own character, however.
When people base their characters off of other fictional archetypes, it really is hit or miss. Some people just don't know how to play that particular archetype, and it comes across as forced or cheesy. Certainly, I can't play some of the more cool, collected, calculated, wordsmith type characters.
