This leaves Jack and Mordin. The latter however takes this trope to its full extent.

*** Strangely, this does have a bit of an application to real life, as one could be a BEL before joining the service, or, alternatively, BEL quirks could surface as a coping mechanism for combat.

Added DiffLines:
* Kotomi in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''. Sure, she may be a little... [[CloudCuckoolander out there]]... but she's also effortlessly among the top ten students for the entire country. And hey, everything makes sense for her how she does, and it works, right?
* ''SaintsRowTheThird'': The Mayor of Steelport is often stated to be the only person capable of keeping a city of rampant gang violence, homicidal maniacs running wild and hosting game shows, and general insanity functioning with any kind of stability or sanity. He is also [[spoiler: Burt Reynolds, and still loves going out and solving violent disputes personally]]
* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' is filled with eccentric lawyers. Phoenix and Edgeworth love to do the [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger finger-pointing thing]], Franziska von Karma has her trusty [[WhipItGood whip]], her father Manfred's nigh-ludicrous obsession with perfection (to the point of highlighting it by making his ATM PIN '0001' because he sees himself as number one - and ''citing this as evidence'' during a trial) and the Geordi [=LaForge=]-masked Godot can't go a single case without drinking exactly 17 cups of coffee a day (and gets away with calling himself undefeated - because this is his first case). Despite these quirks, they're all said to be the best at what they do. Case 5 of the original game introduces a plethora of eccentric police officers to join the scruffy, dim-but-loveable Dick Gumshoe, from klutzy rookie Mike Meekins to literal CowboyCop Jake Marshall.
** No character here ''quite'' out-eccentrics the Judge, who is famously reliable in passing fair judgements in spite of being more than a bit of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who will misunderstand basically ''anything'', to the point of Franziska's {{plan}} of showing him an illegally-taken photo as vital evidence to make her case (evidence which could just as easily have been turned to Wright's favor) fails - because he [[SpannerInTheWorks just doesn't get the point she's coming across with]]. ''At all''. Until the next year, when Phoenix successfully uses it in a related case.
** The fourth game gives us Apollo Justice, who stays up until 5 in the morning doing voice training so that he can yell [[CatchPhrase '''OBJECTION''']] more impressively, carefully gels his hair every day in a way that makes it look like insect antennae, and gets the truth out of witnesses by using a bracelet that enables him to mentally zoom in on them and dramatically point out their [[CharacterTics nervous habits]]. Then there's Klavier Gavin, prosecutor and renowned rock musician, who peppers his speech with [[GratuitousGerman random German words]] and performs air guitar ''in the middle of trials''. Spark Brushel is also worth a mention, being an [[IntrepidReporter investigative journalist]] who seems genuinely knowledgeable despite seemingly never listening to anything anyone tells him, eating far too many breath mints, and indulging in [[{{Metaphorgotten}} overly-complicated metaphors]].
** And in the fifth we have Shi-Long Lang, an Interpol officer who is really damn good at his job despite having an odd fascination with acting like a wolf, to the point of howling when upset.
** One case in ''Justice For All'' shows us the Berry Big Circus, which is a circus of bunny-ears performers. There's the [[CampStraight campy and effeminate]] magician Maximillion Galactica. We also have the [[TheIngenue ridiculously innocent]] animal tamer Regina. Then there's Moe the Clown who has a MotorMouth and keeps laughing at his own (bad) jokes. But ventriloquist Benjamin Woodman probably takes the cake, his puppet [[PunnyName Trilo Quist]] had his very own personality who keeps badmouthing Ben himself. When said puppet was taken away, he couldn't even form a single word.
** The theme for talking to people without their own theme in Justice for All-on is actually called "Eccentric".
* Since ''GhostTrick'' has the same developer, it's expected that it also has a few bunny ears. Inspector Cabanela stands out as a special investigator with a spotless record and intense ambition to climb his way to the top. He also dances everywhere he goes, including down the stairs.
* Excellen Browning from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' is a goofy, flirtatious woman who insists upon being called "Big Sister" rather than "Ensign", and has on more than one occasion donned a PlayboyBunny-style costume to raise her teammates' morale. She also happens to be an exceptional mecha pilot and an insanely good sniper, as well as part of one of the most respected and feared teams in the SRW universe.
** Heck, this trope applies to most of the cast. Among the most dangerous pilots in the group are an amazingly talented mercenary and battleship captain who's convinced that his PaperThinDisguise has everyone in the world fooled, a German samurai with a penchant for InTheNameOfTheMoon speeches, an AscendedFanboy at the controls of the most dangerous war machine on Earth, and a 14-year-old girl in a maid costume. Don't forget the CO who ORDERED said 14-year-old girl to wear a maid outfit. And is apparently a butler, and dresses like one. Also, don't forget the amount of ex-enemy officers.
** Sean Webley is just an old perv. Plus there's also the Inspectors - Aguija, Mekibos, Vigagi, Sikalog, and their real boss, Wendolo.
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' gives us Milla, Sasha, and Ford. Milla appears to be [[DiscoDan mentally stuck in the 1960s]], Sasha is a [[TheSpock borderline emotionless stoic]] with an [[BerserkButton irrational hatred for tacky lamps]] and Ford is... well, ''[[SplitPersonality special]]''. Despite this, they form a crack team of psychic spies unparalleled to none.
** Really, all the kids at the camp are this trope in training. They're all (presumably) going to grow up to be Psychonauts, and [[DysfunctionJunction there's not a normal one among the entire bunch]].
** There's also a subversion or inversion of CrazyAwesome going on here as well, as the game is set on an IndianBurialGround stated to mentally destabilize ''everybody'' in its vicinity. The sufficiently curious will discover that all of the kids ([[spoiler:including the protagonist]]) have serious problems (many aren't far from homicidal or suicidal behavior), and that the adults may even have accumulated more (over their longer lives). Their competence, power, and control are the reason ''why'' they're [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bunny Ears Lawyers]]: the available alternatives are far worse. As demonstrated by the game's plot.
*** Well actually, psiantium is supposed to make ''normal'' people crazy, but actually makes psychics' powers stronger. Which is why Ford [[spoiler:can keep his mind together in the mine, but falls victim to his various personae elsewhere in the camp]].
* Jodie Foster of ''MetalWolfChaos'' enjoys watching soldiers getting slaughtered by her boss's HumongousMecha a little too much, and apparently spends her spare time wondering about how various buildings would look if they were destroyed, and somehow managed to become secretary to [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent the President of the United States]]. Although considering what President Michael Wilson gets up to, Jodie probably looks like an icon of sanity by comparision.
* The MissionControl of ''MetalGearSolid3'' contains an overtalkative genius physician who chatters endlessly about [[TheresNoBInMovie her favourite B-movies]], a JamesBond fanboy Major with an obsession with his own Britishness and a thing for the paranormal, and a brilliant technician who makes useless objects because they 'look cool' and considers a human catapault a valid weapons development project (and harbours a complex about being the only normal person there). In ''Portable Ops'', they start a UFO club. [[spoiler:But they are frightenly competent at throwing the entire world into a long and bitter war.]]
** Hal Emmerich is a brilliant engineer who designed Metal Gear, and also happens to be a massive {{Otaku}}. Ocelot is a ridiculously superb marksman and the series' resident MagnificentBastard who is also unhealthily obssessed with his revolvers and [[HoYay Big Boss]]. Even Snake himself, a formidable warrior by anyone's assessment, has his tendency for [[ContemplateOurNavels meaningless philosophical ramblings]] and a rather disturbing relationship with [[CompanionCube The Box(TM)]]. It's also implied he loves trashy action movies and women's figure skating, he's a fan of dog-sledding, and one of the Japanese-only supplemental material guides revealed that his favourite food is blueberries.
*** Strangely, this does have a bit of an application to real life, as one could be a BEL before joining the service, or, alternatively, BEL quirks could surface as a coping mechanism for combat. Follow a group of rough and tumble soldiers around, say, US marines, or GSGs, or IDF. You should be able to find at least one example of each unless their personalities really ARE that bland.

(though half the time they watch said movies just to MST the terrible physics and weapon usage.)
* Empress Sanaki of the ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'' games is a [[IncrediblyLamePun Bunny Ears Royal]]. In ''Path of Radiance'', most of her early interactions with the protagonists involve her jerking them around and forcing them to learn for ''themselves'' what's going on instead of just telling them what's up [[ItAmusedMe simply because she was bored.]] Three years later in the sequel, we see her commandeering ''the King of Kilvas'' to carry her onto the battlefield because she couldn't bear not knowing what was going on, then later learns that [[spoiler:he's bound by a blood pact to the Begnion Senate--and that ''she'' can essentially free him from their control since her orders carry more weight than theirs do]]. And of course, when one of her most trusted aides turns out to be, [[EvilChancellor well, not exactly]] ''[[EvilChancellor evil]]'' but still responsible for all of the bad stuff that happened, she decides that his punishment is to be drowned in rancid butter.
* Double H from ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil.'' On one hand, he has a tendency to quote things at random from his military training manual in an [[LargeHam UNECESSARILY LOUD VOICE]], he [[UseYourHead runs things over with his head]] and [[TwentyFourHourArmor never takes off his armor]] because it makes him "feel manly", and he gets really worked up over hovercraft racing. On the other hand, he's the [[LaResistance IRIS Network's]] best operative, he's good at following directions, and he's [[MightyGlacier pretty tough in battle]]. Pey'j too--He's a Texan-accented [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic pig]] with a habit of [[CurseOfTheAncients swearing like a prospector]], and he has an... erm... [[{{Fartillery}} unusual special attack.]] He's also a brilliant inventor and engineer. [[spoiler: And, you know, the all-mysterious and all-powerful leader of a rebel organization.]]
* The brilliant engineer Dr. Cid from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' fits this troupe well--the Draklor Laboratory and the Archadian Empire as a whole manage to ignore his conversations with a [[spoiler:not-so]] imaginary friend due to his skill at manufacturing airships and weapons with nethicite. [[spoiler:Balthier, however, was not quite so tolerant.]]
* ''EliteBeatAgents''. Just look at that hair... and those ''dance moves!'' Yet somehow, they managed to stop an alien invasion, prevent the ZombieApocalypse, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking rescued a lost puppy]], and fight off a virus.
* A good deal of the commanders in the ''AdvanceWars'' series. A spectacular example is Javier, who wears plate armour all the time and acts like Literature/DonQuixote, and is a BoisterousBruiser to awesome effect.
* The Dungeon Master noble in ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' is a talented animal trainer and metalsmith who permits your fortress to train a variety of creatures you usually can't. He or she tends to also wander around the fortress, naked except for a cloak, shoes, and gloves.
** ...Actually, just about ''every'' dorf with valuable skills could qualify. The rest are just TooDumbToLive {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s who [[AngstDissonance don't mind the fact that their spouse just got eaten by mandrills because they saw a really nice floodgate recently]].
* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'': Arcueid Brunestud. Ditzy blond. ClingyJealousGirl. Keeps a doll of Shiki under her pillow and magically traps her underwear drawer. Ok maybe that one wasn't canon, but still, it IS like her. Also responsible for Shiki's rather infamous erotic dream. Oh, and she is the most powerful vampire in existence, capable of dragging around moons if she wants. Moons from the future. That she pulled from said future. Why? So red moonlight would splash on her opponent and render him killable. ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction And she was at 30% power when she did that]].''
* The doctors in ''[[{{Rayman}} Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. They're recommended as exceptionally good doctors, and are shown to be at least reasonably competant, but their behaviour is decidedly odd, and their [[ThePowerOfRock methods]] even more so.
* All the teachers of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', from the homeroom teacher with an almost [[Manga/DeathNote "L"-like]] addiction to sweets [[spoiler: and to playing [=MMORPG=]s as a l33t-speaking alter ego]], to the school nurse and his over-the-top obsession with mysticism, to the history teacher who always wears his Sengoku-era samurai helmet, to the math teacher who spends most of the class just gushing about the aesthetic beauty of numbers. They're all shown as very knowledgable, and they're all various shades of CloudCuckoolander.
* It is strongly implied that a light-side ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' or ''Knights of the Old Republic 2'' PC tolerates HK-47's AxCrazy discourse because he is the only thing that can translate the Tusken tongue and a rather capable warrior
* Minsc from the ''BaldursGate'' series. He's quite nuts, but when he talks about kicking butt, he knows what he's talking about.
--> '''Dynaheir''': Minsc is, well, [[ShapedLikeItself Minsc]], but he hath a strong sword arm.
** Also, none of the mages are exactly well-adjusted, with the possible exception of aforementioned Dynaheir. And even she [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe speaks funny]].
** Kivan is also pretty quirky: he's reclusive and has attitude issues. But Kivan is also God and the game cannot be won to any kind of satisfaction without him. He's by far the best archer in the first game and his THACO defies all reason.
* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', this describes your entire [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits crew]] with the exception of [[OnlySaneMan Jacob]]. Let's just say it's an extreme DysfunctionJunction in which everyone is one of the best people in the galaxy at what they do and leave it at that.
** Thane seems overly contemplative for an assassin, but we learn that he [[spoiler: has been recently diagnosed with a terminal disease]], Miranda is pretty normal for a member of a shady organization aside from the [[DesignerBabies Designer Baby]] Blues, Samara is a ScaryDogmaticAlien, Grunt is a [[DesignerBabies Designer Baby]] ProudWarriorRaceGuy, and Garrus is a level-minded realist. This leaves Jack and Mordin. The latter however takes this trope to its full extent.
** Jack is an uber-powerful biotic who subjects anyone she meets either to a biotic blast or a ClusterFBomb. She mellows out as the story plays out and, by ''Mass Effect 3'', is slightly more level-headed and even makes a great effort to avoid swearing (unless you happen to be Joker, also an example of this trope). Mordin is a brilliant scientist with a MotorMouth and love for "Gilbert and Sullivan". By the third game, he's close to 40 (making him an old man by salarian standards) and thinks of retiring to a house on a beach. When Shepard points out that he'd get bored collecting seashells all day, Mordin points out that he'll run tests on the seashells. He then [[spoiler:goes out with a bang while singing]].
* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' gives us [[ThatOneBoss Sho Minamimoto]]. A MadMathematician, who ''always'' speaks in mathamatical terms, makes [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible junk heaps he calls 'art']], and is very egotistical. However, he's one of the youngest Reaper Officers to become a Game Master, and excels in all areas of leadership - [[DoesNotLikePeople except cooperation]]. He's also one of the [[ThatOneBoss toughest buggers]] to beat in the game.
* Arguably every class in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' fits this one way or another. [[WildMassGuessing Apart from all of them being mentally ill in some way]], we have the ColdSniper [[UrineTrouble that keeps his urine in jars]], the HuskyRusskie [[CompanionCube that talks to his guns]], and TheUnintelligible Pyro [[TheFaceless that never removes his/her full-body flame-retardant suit]]. However, [[ProfessionalKiller they're very good at what they do]] and must be well worth their salaries.
** As first shown in "Meet the Pyro", the Pyro is a BEL among [=BELs=]. [[spoiler:S/he's not at all in touch with the real world, which s/he imagines to be a SugarBowl, even when causing death and destruction. When s/he's burning things, s/he's spreading bubbles, flowers, and magic. [[AnAxeToGrind When s/he splits an enemy's head open with an axe]], s/he's feeding them a lollipop; when using his/her flare gun, s/he's blowing bubbles. S/he also sees his/her enemies as chubby cherubs, wings and all, which prompts his/her "kindness". You also get a promotional "Pyro's goggles" that let you see the world as s/he does. Everybody is laughing ''even as they get shot'', blood is replaced with random items such as gears or balloons, and fire with sparkly rainbows and happiness. To top it all off, you don't get "dominated" and get "revenge", they "become best friends" and "break up"]]. However, as any player will tell you, if you are close to him/her, expect to be dead soon. Very, very soon.
* [[VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition Agent Francis York Morgan]] ("Call me York. That's what everyone calls me") is an FBI investigator who we first see driving a car while working on his laptop and arguing on the phone with his superiors over inter-dependence issues in WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry. He is also routinely late for appointments, rambles on endlessly about old movies and their directors when he's not cheerfully discussing [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant grisly murders and serial rapists over dinner]], and goes over his every action and decision with his imaginary friend, Zach. His methods of "investigating" consist less of actual forensic work and more of chain-smoking until he gains visions of the past, and seeing visions of the future in the milk he pours in his coffee every morning. Despite all this, he's an extremely competent detective who [[InsufferableGenius isn't at all shy over that fact]].
* ''InfiniteSpace'' has a few, but Lord Roth and Thomas Veil stand out the most. Lord Roth is a [[ManChild rather childish]] man who enjoys his ChickMagnet status a little too much (and puts his aide, Nele, into a lot of troubles because of his quirks), yet he is one of Regeinland's top commanders. Meanwhile, Thomas is [[spoiler:an agent of Federation Security Network directed by Brad Lennox]] and a good crew member for your navigational post... who happens to be a fan of young {{Idol Singer}}s, almost to the point of being a {{Lolicon}}.
* [[NobleDemon Demon Prince]] [[Characters/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Laharl]] from VideoGame/{{Disgaea}} is the heir to the throne of [[{{Halloweentown}} Netherworld]], and he got some strange ideas as to what a King should do: If money is needed, it’s time to loot some noble’s mansion. Assassin love angels are potential recruits. Laughing evilly on a regular basis is a requirement. Ideal Overlord tasks are making it rain pepper so that the humans will sneeze their nostrils out or deprive children of their sleep by giving them addictive videogames. Heroes should not just be defeated; enslavement is the way to go. But he is very passionate and dutiful about the job, not to mention extremely powerful, so he gets it and does a good job all things considered. His [[ReliableTraitor vassel]] [[Characters/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Etna]] has not dethroned him...yet.
* Mike Haggar from the ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' series, a professional wrestler turned mayor who deals with Metro City's gang problem by [[OneManArmy kicking all their asses]] [[PoliceAreUseless without police assistance]].
* Nero from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4''. Much of his {{Jerkass}} attitude would've gotten him excommunicated from the Order a long time ago, such as a blue coat instead of their white uniform (although he does have their insgnia stitched on it), listening to his own ''theme song'' during prayer, and colorful mouth. However, he's very good at his job in the "dirtier" side of things, and is kosher with the idea of God (in fact, he out right states it near the end of the game) - he's just not all that fond of the church he works for.
* Kazuaki Nanaki, the [[TalkingAnimal quail]] teacher from ''HatofulBoyfriend'', is a scatterbrained narcoleptic who falls asleep mid-sentence while introducing himself to his students on the first day of class (and repeatedly throughout the game). He's also a world-renowned mathematician, and no slouch in physics and chemistry, either.
** Oko San's obsession with pudding doesn't seem to interfere with his athletic performance any. He also seems to be able to pass classes at one of the most demanding private high schools in the world, despite being unable to speak in anything but subtitled coos, most of which are pop culture references and complaints about pudding quality.
** ''The player character'' can qualify, being a HotBlooded [[ContemporaryCaveman modern barbarian]] at the same high-standards high school who occasionally offers political insights in surprisingly erudite terminology... but is late to class the first day because she had to go hunting for breakfast.
* ''KatawaShoujo'' has Rin Tezuka, a brilliant armless painter who gets away with smoking and multiple (lighter) violations of school rules.
* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' has the leader of the ultra-capitalist [[TheIlluminati Illuminati]], The Pyramidion. He speaks in a calm, evenly-paced tone, and clearly knows everything worth knowing. He just has this peculiar habit of peppering his dialogue with odd Public Announcements and context-relevant memes...
* ''SaintsRowTheThird'': The Mayor of Steelport is often stated to be the only person capable of keeping a city of rampant gang violence, homicidal maniacs running wild and hosting game shows, and general insanity functioning with any kind of stability or sanity. He is also [[spoiler: Burt Reynolds, and still loves going out and solving violent disputes personally]]
* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' is filled with eccentric lawyers. Phoenix and Edgeworth love to do the [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger finger-pointing thing]], Franziska von Karma has her trusty [[WhipItGood whip]], her father Manfred's nigh-ludicrous obsession with perfection (to the point of highlighting it by making his ATM PIN '0001' because he sees himself as number one - and ''citing this as evidence'' during a trial) and the Geordi [=LaForge=]-masked Godot can't go a single case without drinking exactly 17 cups of coffee a day (and gets away with calling himself undefeated - because this is his first case). Despite these quirks, they're all said to be the best at what they do. Case 5 of the original game introduces a plethora of eccentric police officers to join the scruffy, dim-but-loveable Dick Gumshoe, from klutzy rookie Mike Meekins to literal CowboyCop Jake Marshall.

''At all''. Until the next year, when Phoenix successfully uses it in a related case.
** The fourth game gives us Apollo Justice, who stays up until 5 in the morning doing voice training so that he can yell [[CatchPhrase '''OBJECTION''']] more impressively, carefully gels his hair every day in a way that makes it look like insect antennae, and gets the truth out of witnesses by using a bracelet that enables him to mentally zoom in on them and dramatically point out their [[CharacterTics nervous habits]].

Spark Brushel is also worth a mention, being an [[IntrepidReporter investigative journalist]] who seems genuinely knowledgeable despite seemingly never listening to anything anyone tells him, eating far too many breath mints, and indulging in [[{{Metaphorgotten}} overly-complicated metaphors]].

It's also implied he loves trashy action movies and women's figure skating, he's a fan of dog-sledding, and one of the Japanese-only supplemental material guides revealed that his favourite food is blueberries.
*** Strangely, this does have a bit of an application to real life, as one could be a BEL before joining the service, or, alternatively, BEL quirks could surface as a coping mechanism for combat. Follow a group of rough and tumble soldiers around, say, US marines, or GSGs, or IDF. You should be able to find at least one example of each unless their personalities really ARE that bland. Also, aside from women's figure skating ([[FetishFuel provided Snake's reasons are pure...]]) you could throw those at US Marines and it would stick to a good load of them. (though half the time they watch said movies just to MST the terrible physics and weapon usage.)
* Empress Sanaki of the ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'' games is a [[IncrediblyLamePun Bunny Ears Royal]]. In ''Path of Radiance'', most of her early interactions with the protagonists involve her jerking them around and forcing them to learn for ''themselves'' what's going on instead of just telling them what's up [[ItAmusedMe simply because she was bored.]] Three years later in the sequel, we see her commandeering ''the King of Kilvas'' to carry her onto the battlefield because she couldn't bear not knowing what was going on, then later learns that [[spoiler:he's bound by a blood pact to the Begnion Senate--and that ''she'' can essentially free him from their control since her orders carry more weight than theirs do]]. And of course, when one of her most trusted aides turns out to be, [[EvilChancellor well, not exactly]] ''[[EvilChancellor evil]]'' but still responsible for all of the bad stuff that happened, she decides that his punishment is to be drowned in rancid butter.
* Double H from ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil.'' On one hand, he has a tendency to quote things at random from his military training manual in an [[LargeHam UNECESSARILY LOUD VOICE]], he [[UseYourHead runs things over with his head]] and [[TwentyFourHourArmor never takes off his armor]] because it makes him "feel manly", and he gets really worked up over hovercraft racing. On the other hand, he's the [[LaResistance IRIS Network's]] best operative, he's good at following directions, and he's [[MightyGlacier pretty tough in battle]]. Pey'j too--He's a Texan-accented [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic pig]] with a habit of [[CurseOfTheAncients swearing like a prospector]], and he has an... erm... [[{{Fartillery}} unusual special attack.]] He's also a brilliant inventor and engineer. [[spoiler: And, you know, the all-mysterious and all-powerful leader of a rebel organization.]]
* The brilliant engineer Dr. Cid from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' fits this troupe well--the Draklor Laboratory and the Archadian Empire as a whole manage to ignore his conversations with a [[spoiler:not-so]] imaginary friend due to his skill at manufacturing airships and weapons with nethicite. [[spoiler:Balthier, however, was not quite so tolerant.]]
* ''EliteBeatAgents''. Just look at that hair... and those ''dance moves!'' Yet somehow, they managed to stop an alien invasion, prevent the ZombieApocalypse, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking rescued a lost puppy]], and fight off a virus.
* A good deal of the commanders in the ''AdvanceWars'' series. A spectacular example is Javier, who wears plate armour all the time and acts like Literature/DonQuixote, and is a BoisterousBruiser to awesome effect.
* The Dungeon Master noble in ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' is a talented animal trainer and metalsmith who permits your fortress to train a variety of creatures you usually can't. He or she tends to also wander around the fortress, naked except for a cloak, shoes, and gloves.
** ...Actually, just about ''every'' dorf with valuable skills could qualify. The rest are just TooDumbToLive {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s who [[AngstDissonance don't mind the fact that their spouse just got eaten by mandrills because they saw a really nice floodgate recently]].
* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'': Arcueid Brunestud. Ditzy blond. ClingyJealousGirl. Keeps a doll of Shiki under her pillow and magically traps her underwear drawer. Ok maybe that one wasn't canon, but still, it IS like her. Also responsible for Shiki's rather infamous erotic dream. Oh, and she is the most powerful vampire in existence, capable of dragging around moons if she wants. Moons from the future. That she pulled from said future. Why? So red moonlight would splash on her opponent and render him killable. ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction And she was at 30% power when she did that]].''
* The doctors in ''[[{{Rayman}} Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. They're recommended as exceptionally good doctors, and are shown to be at least reasonably competant, but their behaviour is decidedly odd, and their [[ThePowerOfRock methods]] even more so.
* All the teachers of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', from the homeroom teacher with an almost [[Manga/DeathNote "L"-like]] addiction to sweets [[spoiler: and to playing [=MMORPG=]s as a l33t-speaking alter ego]], to the school nurse and his over-the-top obsession with mysticism, to the history teacher who always wears his Sengoku-era samurai helmet, to the math teacher who spends most of the class just gushing about the aesthetic beauty of numbers. They're all shown as very knowledgable, and they're all various shades of CloudCuckoolander.
* It is strongly implied that a light-side ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' or ''Knights of the Old Republic 2'' PC tolerates HK-47's AxCrazy discourse because he is the only thing that can translate the Tusken tongue and a rather capable warrior
* Minsc from the ''BaldursGate'' series. He's quite nuts, but when he talks about kicking butt, he knows what he's talking about.
--> '''Dynaheir''': Minsc is, well, [[ShapedLikeItself Minsc]], but he hath a strong sword arm.
** Also, none of the mages are exactly well-adjusted, with the possible exception of aforementioned Dynaheir. And even she [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe speaks funny]].
** Kivan is also pretty quirky: he's reclusive and has attitude issues. But Kivan is also God and the game cannot be won to any kind of satisfaction without him. He's by far the best archer in the first game and his THACO defies all reason.
* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', this describes your entire [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits crew]] with the exception of [[OnlySaneMan Jacob]]. Let's just say it's an extreme DysfunctionJunction in which everyone is one of the best people in the galaxy at what they do and leave it at that.
** Thane seems overly contemplative for an assassin, but we learn that he [[spoiler: has been recently diagnosed with a terminal disease]], Miranda is pretty normal for a member of a shady organization aside from the [[DesignerBabies Designer Baby]] Blues, Samara is a ScaryDogmaticAlien, Grunt is a [[DesignerBabies Designer Baby]] ProudWarriorRaceGuy, and Garrus is a level-minded realist. This leaves Jack and Mordin. The latter however takes this trope to its full extent.
** Jack is an uber-powerful biotic who subjects anyone she meets either to a biotic blast or a ClusterFBomb. She mellows out as the story plays out and, by ''Mass Effect 3'', is slightly more level-headed and even makes a great effort to avoid swearing (unless you happen to be Joker, also an example of this trope). Mordin is a brilliant scientist with a MotorMouth and love for "Gilbert and Sullivan". By the third game, he's close to 40 (making him an old man by salarian standards) and thinks of retiring to a house on a beach. When Shepard points out that he'd get bored collecting seashells all day, Mordin points out that he'll run tests on the seashells. He then [[spoiler:goes out with a bang while singing]].
* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' gives us [[ThatOneBoss Sho Minamimoto]]. A MadMathematician, who ''always'' speaks in mathamatical terms, makes [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible junk heaps he calls 'art']], and is very egotistical. However, he's one of the youngest Reaper Officers to become a Game Master, and excels in all areas of leadership - [[DoesNotLikePeople except cooperation]]. He's also one of the [[ThatOneBoss toughest buggers]] to beat in the game.
* Arguably every class in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' fits this one way or another. [[WildMassGuessing Apart from all of them being mentally ill in some way]], we have the ColdSniper [[UrineTrouble that keeps his urine in jars]], the HuskyRusskie [[CompanionCube that talks to his guns]], and TheUnintelligible Pyro [[TheFaceless that never removes his/her full-body flame-retardant suit]]. However, [[ProfessionalKiller they're very good at what they do]] and must be well worth their salaries.
** As first shown in "Meet the Pyro", the Pyro is a BEL among [=BELs=]. [[spoiler:S/he's not at all in touch with the real world, which s/he imagines to be a SugarBowl, even when causing death and destruction. When s/he's burning things, s/he's spreading bubbles, flowers, and magic. [[AnAxeToGrind When s/he splits an enemy's head open with an axe]], s/he's feeding them a lollipop; when using his/her flare gun, s/he's blowing bubbles. S/he also sees his/her enemies as chubby cherubs, wings and all, which prompts his/her "kindness". You also get a promotional "Pyro's goggles" that let you see the world as s/he does. Everybody is laughing ''even as they get shot'', blood is replaced with random items such as gears or balloons, and fire with sparkly rainbows and happiness. To top it all off, you don't get "dominated" and get "revenge", they "become best friends" and "break up"]]. However, as any player will tell you, if you are close to him/her, expect to be dead soon. Very, very soon.
* [[VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition Agent Francis York Morgan]] ("Call me York. That's what everyone calls me") is an FBI investigator who we first see driving a car while working on his laptop and arguing on the phone with his superiors over inter-dependence issues in WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry. He is also routinely late for appointments, rambles on endlessly about old movies and their directors when he's not cheerfully discussing [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant grisly murders and serial rapists over dinner]], and goes over his every action and decision with his imaginary friend, Zach. His methods of "investigating" consist less of actual forensic work and more of chain-smoking until he gains visions of the past, and seeing visions of the future in the milk he pours in his coffee every morning. Despite all this, he's an extremely competent detective who [[InsufferableGenius isn't at all shy over that fact]].
* ''InfiniteSpace'' has a few, but Lord Roth and Thomas Veil stand out the most. Lord Roth is a [[ManChild rather childish]] man who enjoys his ChickMagnet status a little too much (and puts his aide, Nele, into a lot of troubles because of his quirks), yet he is one of Regeinland's top commanders. Meanwhile, Thomas is [[spoiler:an agent of Federation Security Network directed by Brad Lennox]] and a good crew member for your navigational post... who happens to be a fan of young {{Idol Singer}}s, almost to the point of being a {{Lolicon}}.
* [[NobleDemon Demon Prince]] [[Characters/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Laharl]] from VideoGame/{{Disgaea}} is the heir to the throne of [[{{Halloweentown}} Netherworld]], and he got some strange ideas as to what a King should do: If money is needed, it’s time to loot some noble’s mansion. Assassin love angels are potential recruits. Laughing evilly on a regular basis is a requirement. Ideal Overlord tasks are making it rain pepper so that the humans will sneeze their nostrils out or deprive children of their sleep by giving them addictive videogames. Heroes should not just be defeated; enslavement is the way to go. But he is very passionate and dutiful about the job, not to mention extremely powerful, so he gets it and does a good job all things considered. His [[ReliableTraitor vassel]] [[Characters/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Etna]] has not dethroned him...yet.
* Mike Haggar from the ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' series, a professional wrestler turned mayor who deals with Metro City's gang problem by [[OneManArmy kicking all their asses]] [[PoliceAreUseless without police assistance]].
* Nero from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4''. Much of his {{Jerkass}} attitude would've gotten him excommunicated from the Order a long time ago, such as a blue coat instead of their white uniform (although he does have their insgnia stitched on it), listening to his own ''theme song'' during prayer, and colorful mouth. However, he's very good at his job in the "dirtier" side of things, and is kosher with the idea of God (in fact, he out right states it near the end of the game) - he's just not all that fond of the church he works for.
* Kazuaki Nanaki, the [[TalkingAnimal quail]] teacher from ''HatofulBoyfriend'', is a scatterbrained narcoleptic who falls asleep mid-sentence while introducing himself to his students on the first day of class (and repeatedly throughout the game). He's also a world-renowned mathematician, and no slouch in physics and chemistry, either.
** Oko San's obsession with pudding doesn't seem to interfere with his athletic performance any. He also seems to be able to pass classes at one of the most demanding private high schools in the world, despite being unable to speak in anything but subtitled coos, most of which are pop culture references and complaints about pudding quality.
** ''The player character'' can qualify, being a HotBlooded [[ContemporaryCaveman modern barbarian]] at the same high-standards high school who occasionally offers political insights in surprisingly erudite terminology... but is late to class the first day because she had to go hunting for breakfast.
* ''KatawaShoujo'' has Rin Tezuka, a brilliant armless painter who gets away with smoking and multiple (lighter) violations of school rules.
* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' has the leader of the ultra-capitalist [[TheIlluminati Illuminati]], The Pyramidion. He speaks in a calm, evenly-paced tone, and clearly knows everything worth knowing. He just has this peculiar habit of peppering his dialogue with odd Public Announcements and context-relevant memes...
