Our characters do take things seriously though. At least mine does. Kholodny's only been around for 3 posts. He hasn't had anytime to get past "Holy shit I've just been dropped in a world I know nothing about with things that could probably very easily kill me". I know this is an arena, but its not like there's no room for his personality to develop. He'll develop at least some kind of edge, whether he likes it or not. I just think think its a little unreasonable to dislike a character when there's been no chance for him to do anything. His motive right now is to not die, and saving the world would be a nice bonus. So I think if he justs gets a bit of time, he'll become a much more rounded character, personality wise. Maybe slightly less annoying.
