I have a growing affinity for characters who are unarmed brawlers or martial artists, but I ESPECIALLY love them when most other characters in the battles are using swords and shields and shit.
It's one thing to throw punches in something like Dragon Ball. But throwing punches in Fire Emblem or Dungeons and Dragons? That's catnip for me.
My first interaction with this trope was Gong from Shining Force, a sega tactics game. He is an optional recruit who is just this hermit woodsman who you can talk to and then he will just go around punching goblins to death.
