In a world where the average adventurer (which seems to be a suitable FF equivalent to "loser with no real day job") takes on living cacti that can fire needles at lethal velocities, lightning-powered cheetah monsters, beastmen, etc. then "Person bigger than you" can cease to be all that terrifying.
I think something that's worrying is that you saw his character, a hyur, and naturally went "A hyur, well, they must be terrified by a roegadyn." I think it's assuming quite a lot to just expect a certain IC reaction and then blaming it on some kind of OOC bleed.
Unfortunately, the people playing the characters are the ones who get to choose how their character sees yours, not you.
If somebody walks into a public event, starts shit, then refuses to deal with the consequences, that's definitely not okay. But from how the OP words it, it seems it didn't even get that far, and that the problem wasn't what the character did, but the character not instantly backing down and being in terror of the OP's character, because obviously any character would be terrified by such a bonafide badass, right?
I find it weird that the general sentiment in the thread is "Man, all these stupid people just wanna play badasses" when the OP's problem seems to be that the person didn't properly acknowledge their character's badassery.
