* ''Literature/UniversalMonsters'': In the epilogue of book 6, when Joe and Nina realize Captain Bob isn't wearing his hat (and in fact he claims to have thrown it away), it's the first sign that something's different. He then admits that their experience has really changed him, and he doesn't want to just watch movies -- he wants to go out and ''do'' something, and to be called "Robert" rather than "Captain Bob". The other two are both more than a little weirded out by this.

* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'': When Aragorn is presented in the book, even before we know his real name, he seems tough and collected, and you have to read the books a number of times before you get this, but he ''definitely cracks up'' a moment when he is trying to explain the very real terror of [[TheDreaded the Nazgûl]]. For a badass like Aragorn, hardened by decades of trekking unpleasant areas and encountering all kinds of animals, this comes down as a warning that the ringwraiths should be feared.

No wonder he would be terrified of the Nazgûl.[[/note]]

* ''Literature/TheVazulaChronicles'': At the beginning of ''A Kingdom Discovered'', Heath recklessly challenges another archer to a contest in which they fire arrows at branches in a swift-moving stream and try to haul them onto the bridge. The weight of Heath's branch almost pulls him off the bridge and over the nearby InevitableWaterfall. Heath's brother Percival demands to know why Heath, who is normally more cautious, would do something so dangerous for no good reason. The reason is that Heath thinks his LoveInterest Merletta is dead, but he's keeping her existence a secret, so he can't answer Percival's question.
-->'''Percival''': I don't need you to tell me I've done stupider things for the sake of competition. But this is you, Heath. You're smarter than this.

It's not until he completes a quest that the System gives him more leeway to act OOC, although his sudden changes in behavior still do not go unnoticed by the other characters around him.
