That very much falls in line with something that Ron had said about Narrativism and archetypes, "Usagi Yojimbo is a good story because he is a bad samurai"... In other words, the neat stuff comes from breaking the archetype... or perhaps even in the selective choice of when you're going to follow it vs. when you're going to ditch it.

On the flip side, this is why a lot of D&D doesn't work for me, as alignment encourages folks to NOT break archetypes but stick to them...
