I played a level 1 human fighter in a one shot who was basically just a normal well adjusted dude. Lived with his living parents, well-mannered, knew the townsfolk. The only reason he went on the adventure was to train up so he could try out for the town guard, and once it got scary at the end he noped out real quick.

Not a lot of meat on those narrative bones for a full campaign, but it was fun to subvert the trope.
