I'm sure we all have our own stunning moments in an RP where we have a character that not only makes a dramatic impact on the story, they are also a downright blast to play.
I have that character as exemplified by Hyuude.
Hyuude is a street tough. Hyuude doesn't take shit from a single person. And Hyuude happens to make giant robots work by getting in the cockpit in them, punching it a few times, and yelling at it to work right. He's dumb as a brick, stubborn as a mule, extremely rude and impolite, and beats the living crap out of just about everything in his path with raw physical power.
One of his little fun traits was that the longer he remained in close combat, regardless of if he was in a giant robot or not, the more powerful he would get, until he was, well, just about unstoppable. This IS easy to shut down, and he is VERY easy to beat, especially if you take advantage of the fact that he's, uh, dumb. But if you're a fellow glory-seeker that believes close combat is the only path to victory, Hyuude is, generally speaking, utterly insurmountable in that aspect.
Most people I played him with found him overpowered (which he is, if you don't actually try and think of a way to beat him and instead try to out-hot blood him) and spotlight stealing (which he is, I am not disagreeing). But goddamn, he was so much fun to play. Imagine every over the top cliche from corny 70's/80's Giant Robot or Martial Arts animes, taken to their logical extreme.
