Whether you couldn't make it work in the long-run, believe the novelty would wear off too quickly for the work it takes, or maybe you simply don't have the confidence to sell the concept. Ideally in the EFU environment, but not limited to it. Try to keep original concepts out, yeah? This isn't a public application thread.

Feel free to give reasons too, if you're feeling particularly wordy.

Personal examples:
-Zimos from Saints Row 3 - animatronic autotune voice emotes would get tiresome.

-John Marston from Red Dead Redemption - could become a haste addict to represent Deadeye, but I don't have enough pvp skillz to play a ranger bounty hunter.

-Jorg Ancrath from Prince of Thorns - I can't make a pc bandit live long enough to ascend full-fledged monarchy.

-Inspector Gadget from what the hell is wrong with your childhood - an overwhelming amount of supplies would be needed for regular shenanigans.

My favorite kind of characters to play in non-EFU settings are the antagonistic anti heroes who tend to just want to be left alone. Scrappy folks what speak truth to power and get their ass kicked a lot but when push comes to shove are able to throw down regardless of the odds.

Like Nines Rodriguez/Jack from VTM: Bloodlines I was always a huge fan of the Brujah mindset of enlightened thugs fighting for their privacy/etc.

Sadly on EFU I never am able to cultivate a proper balance of mechanical power and supplies, mixed with opportunity and lucky circumstance to see a proper Lowersman Thug rise to power. Perhaps down the line but that's always my favorite kind of concept to play in any game that isn't EFU. It'd be fun to one time try it in EFU.
