I put "other", as I prefer a cahracter of normal origins and normal skills who gets caught up in the whole fantasy plot. This can be done as comedy, vis: Rincewind, or as straight, vis: Frodo Baggins. There is much to be said for either having the sense to run away, or to have the urge to do so, but staying on because of the moral character needed to do so.
