    When you are in over your head, ask for help. Being able to do that readily is a strength in itself.

    One of those cartoon villains, that plays the roll but isn't really evil. If you actually want to play a comedy, and not just a comedic game, maybe this would work as your villain.
    Spoiler: "I can hear your heart beating."
    Show
    So I'm going to assume that this was said at a time where one would not normally be able to hear another's heart. Could be a doctor with a stethoscope, but there are more appropriate quotes for that.

    The obvious or more straight forward explanation for this they have really good senses, at least hearing. By itself it is a simple statement, but I can't help but wonder why they would say it. For the straightforward case, I think it is a reminder of just how good, or perhaps just how dangerous they really are. Some sort of spy or assassin who can react to the smallest details. Of course the fact that they have to remind people of that says they don't usually come across that way.

    The other one I can think of is that they have some sort of mystic connection to the world around them, allowing them to sense (or hear) someone else's heart beat. In this sense it is a reminder of the spiritual side that others might miss or not be connected to.

    This is actually one that has been bouncing around in my head for quite a while. Not sure why it took me so long to get to it.

    "Of course, every soldier is prepared to die. But these people aren’t just pawns on a chessboard. They all have names, families and feelings in their hearts too. They are all humans who live and bleed. You have the responsibility to ensure their death will not be in vain. No matter what may come, remember this in your naive heart, and be ready to die to fulfill that duty."

    Either someone very focused or very apathetic. Well, someone very focused on something in particular and apathetic to other things. It could be something in particular, but since it is the base of the character maybe they away have a particular focus they hate being dragged away from until they have completed it.

    Well first, let this be remembered by those GMs who think the families of PCs are only good for killing off. For some reason this one made me think that is both a friends and enemies with their family, but I'm not entirely sure what that means, tough love/constraint ribbing?

    One full of vengeance. It sort of makes me think of the gang mentality, "my defense is that everyone knows I will hurt you back". So I guess a gangster, although a wonderer who has a reputation might fit your classical game a bit better.

    I created a sorcerer, first used as a DMPC, and then a regular PC. had summon duct tape spell as a first level spell (creates 1d4 rolls +1d4 per 3 levels). max ranks in crafting stuff with it. made clothes, boats, bridges, traps and a great many other things using it. used mythbusters for inspiration on stuff to make at times. at higher levels he would cast his armor spell at the start of the day, then burn all the other first level spells summoning duct tape.
