The 'I must win' thing does get a little annoying.
I remember on another game, there was a forum roleplay to go with the server I was on, where everyone were in the midst of a battle with that mindset. Thankfully, I ended it (I was running the RP... probably not the best choice, given I was like only 16/17 at the time) by killing off the NPC I added in to start the conflict in the first place (or rather by allowing another player to kill him). Eventually we reached a stale-mate, and everyone settled down and resumed their drinking.
I used to have a bit of an 'I must win'... it was more of a 'I must not lose', really, as I didn't mind ties. I slightly annoyed other kids in playground games, but when it came to online Roleplay, I never really got into fights (mostly because my PVP has always sucked horribly and I knew I'd lose, even though my character may not have done). However, over the last couple of years, I have been roleplaying characters who are - more or less - myself, in terms of personality. In other words, I play as someone who is shy, keeps out of fights, but defends friends fiercely. I don't mind not being the best at stuff or losing fights with these sort of characters.
Also, I do agree on the badass evil Villain death lord thing. What would FFVII be without sephiroth? VIII without the sorceresses? IX without Kuja? And don't forget the fights against Beartrix in IX (who else was disappointed when she became playable to find that her abilites killed her MP so quickly?).
I also don't mind when people add a little to Lore such as later-patch stuff because 1) it will become Lore in the future and 2) It doesn't break the existing lore. In fact, i don't mind players adding their own ideas too, as long as it doesn't go over the top, like "I am an angel of death sent down by the twelve!". Sure you are. "I am an alien invader from another planet!" Uh.....huh.....
I grinned at that. And totally agree.

I grinned at that. And totally agree.
