Does he enjoy taking his shirt off and engaging in fisticuffs?
Nope
we're only talking about the good version of the characterYu Narukami?
No, but I just realized that describes him pretty good too haha.

His belief in justice and his personal mission to help others often interferes with his desire to remain politically neutral. He is outwardly very cold, and distant, but to those who know him well he is a loyal friend and a fierce lover (if not something of a casual womanizer). He exudes confidence, but isn't afraid to run from a fight that would mean almost certain death. He hates having to choose the lesser of two evils because it is still choosing evil, and almost always suffers the guilt and consequences of living in a world that doesn't give him the option.
The whole point of this test is to determine if a character is well-written or well-developed. Some protagonists (proto-gone-ists) have an obvious advantage over others based on the genre that they exist in and the story-telling conventions of those genres

or in the case of the example above being based on a pre-existing series of novels where much of the character is pre-established

People don't seem to understand the test. For this reason I diagnose that people haven't watched the Plinkett review of The Phantom Menace and therefore I prescribe that they watch it.
Here's one:
Angry. Like all the time.

Hulk or Hulk Hogan.
Kratos?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Test-ception.

OK, no race, job, gender, roles, etc? I'll see what I can do to describe this character.
1. This character is generally quite brave and is willing to take on big and even dangerous tasks.
2. This character has father issues caused by a misunderstanding between s/he and his/her father about who the character is on the inside.
3. This character is somewhat oblivious to romantic interest from other parties.
4. This character is very focused on studying, learning, and understanding everything s/he can about his/her career path choice.
5. This character is generally optimistic in his/her outlook on most things (excepting the father's issues).

That breaks the rule of the thread haha.
This character is willing to do whatever it takes for the one he loves, even if others must die. Despite this, he's incredibly friendly towards his enemies at other times and loves healthy competition.

While at times brash and cocky, this character tends to eschew his fame-seeking tendencies when in pursuit of the truth.

that means you, posters below me

Those last few break the rules haha. You only need the first three. Well not the second, that breaks the rules too.
He's a brute, strong but disgusting, who is driven by greed. He's also a total weirdo.
Estelle from Trails in the Sky
Good on at least one of you. Then again, you have a Lloyd avatar so I would be more surprised if you didn't.
Viewtiful Joe?

Nope.
Hmmm, let me try to think of another clue.
This character is willing to risk his relationship with his family for what s/he believes is his or her life's calling.
Sephiroth is literally the poster boy for mommy issues so I'll say him
Edit -
- He can handstand when he needs to
- And stretch his arms out, just for you
- Inflate himself just like a balloon
This one is too easy. Kirby.
Rereading this thread I think too many characters have daddy issues. I even thought one character having mommy issues was too unique.
Samus.
