I kinda found our character's passive nature fitting to be honest, specially if you keep in mind some of the "jabs" midgarsowm-whats-his-name has been tossing our way since he invited himself to perch on our shoulders ^^; ... and I also agree with our character being a "blank slate" for us to project upon. Maybe im just a wuss but fighting off the whole of the brass blades unarmed, right after the shock of seeing nanamo keel over, I honestly don't know what "I" would do lol.
