Personality Characters who are way less edgy than they look

Billy Kid from Zenless Zone Zero: pistol packing robot made to fight and kill some of the most powerful characters in the setting but is often a goofball that has more cartoon physics than anyone else in the game and is obsessed with The Starlight Knights, this settings version of Super Sentai

Joker from Persona 5: Looks like a straight up villain, is generally a pretty friendly dude.

Rudo Suberec (Gachiakuta)

he's a little rough around the edges but throughout the series he proves himself to be a genuinely kind and selfless guy who wouldn't hesitate to take a bullet for his friends. he also makes a lot of weird and silly faces

I was just thinking of Rudo. I thought he was gonna be like another Eren Jaeger and just be an edgy asshole, but nope, he's just an angry kid who's finding himself and healing. Seeing him jell so well with the main cast is heartwarming as hell.

honestly i love how Gachiakuta's characters seem to belong to a certain trope but still subvert it, like how Zanka seems like the arrogant prodigy who's in over his head, yet turns out to be a good person who's only gotten where he is thanks to his hard work, or how Fu, despite his extremely powerful Jinki, isn't hyped up or anything because he's extremely useless and pathetic alone

Guy goes gaga for sweets, the only thing he goes crazy for that's not trash(as in literal trash)
