(Well, to be fair, most of the reason people to go to make someone with immense power is because of the nature of the place intended to. Around here, monsters have greater strength, agility, magic, dexterity and an overall better physical appearance than your average joe. What that said, most wouldn't want to take on the role of someone who had absolutely no defense against said beings. Someone with no qualities who get wiped by the first aggressive monster they would meet and none wants of that.

Secondly, if it's not the official place that would cause problem for the average joe, then it would probably be others. Some here like to enjoy a great amount of power and will do much to assure their char can beat most and all. Sometimes, it's simply because someone has made too many a op character and those tired of this will brand their new boys with godhood powers to prevent being one-shot by anyone.

Thirdly, well, this is a fantasy place. It's based around beasts, monsters, demons, gods, eldritch and more. It's no surprise most around would want a powerful being as opposed to a regular human with no trait in adventuring. It would be like playing a dungeons and dragons with a farmer as a character. Most would wonder why a farmer seeing as he is not trained nor gifted in monster slaying arts.

I do admit sometimes the stu can get trying. Fortunately, people I know here are not known to dwell in that.)
