I play a character who has been shown in-canon to be crazy-prepared, and this is in a horror-based canon. In the game, I play him as being unfazed by things that are reasonably close to what he experiences in canon, but he gets caught off-guard by things that are totally outside of the realm of what he would have experienced in the past.
Even though the balance of "calm your tits guys I got this" and "holy shit what is that" is roughly 90% to 10%, he still gets treated like an incompetent dunce by most of the characters.
He also got (ICly) criticized for being fooled by a villain's nice act when he had no reason to suspect said villain was anything but genuine.
