Idiot.

My interpretation of the title was Epic characters. Guess why?

Any character that is epic falls into this category, regardless of the storyline (though an epic anime/storyline makes the characters even more epic)

Definitions of epic on the Web:

* very imposing or impressive; surpassing the ordinary (especially in size or scale); "an epic voyage"; "of heroic proportions"; "heroic sculpture"
* epic poem: a long narrative poem telling of a hero's deeds
* constituting or having to do with or suggestive of a literary epic; "epic tradition"

This being established, the word 'epic' is an idiotically large blanket term that describes anything that underdeveloped minds classify as ascetically pleasing. A different word or phrase should've been chosen for the title of this thread. 'Characters with objectively good design', or 'characters that 13-year-olds think is the bee's knees', or, 'characters that are the equivalent of flame decals'. The word 'epic', as described in a literary sense, doesn't fall under these categories. That is why above-average writing and DEFINITELY a dynamic and round character development is needed to even be considered to fall under the term. This is why SlipAnc is the only one who is posting characters that make sense. Kamina is, in the 'epic' sense of the word, an explosive, heroic character, and therefore, could most likely be considered 'epic'.
