@mage Yes, it is dark… all sorts of gritty grimy dark in parts but it isn’t on par with TerraforMars where most of the censored scenes were nearly all black. The anime so far does a very good job at giving you the “tell but don’t show” cinema experience where it needs to.
The versatility versus passion definitely can be an issue but you might be able to overcome through narrative in game. Take the different factions of Empire mercenaries in Mordheim. I loved the Middenheimers and they were definitely good to play around with and covert to be kitted out with an arsenal that was hammer heavy. In general they did well as a warband and then later got used as barbarians for tabletop gaming when that game an all the other “specialist games” were given the kaibosh by GW when they bought the rights to LoTR. You bring up Gandalf and I think that the really old figure of Elminster from Greyhawk in Forgotten Realms might work (painted differently of course). It all depends on what you’re playing about with
