Some are, to a point, but more ruled by their emotions than their passions. I avoid angsty introspection like the plague, however; I hate that crap in any form. This is orthagonal to the other things below; I've had emotional pragmatists and emotional gonzo types. The best character I've ever had was one of the latter: a low-Wisdom 3e version of an airhead Illusionist who wore her emotions on her sleeve and somehow just kept surviving where all around her didn't.
Those are the gonzo ones: the ones who intentionally dive into the mouth of the man-swallowing monster because hey, it'll be easier to hurt it from the inside(1); the ones who cast
Fireball while only hoping the blowback doesn't reach them and-or their allies(2); the ones who at raw 1st level throw down a challenge to a whole village of Kobolds and then face-charge the place(3), etc.
(1) - Lanefan the character did just this not very long ago; the foe was a great big frog-like demon with a mouth the size of a garage door, he killed it from the inside out (it teleported away from the rest of the party to stop them whaling on it but as he was already inside, he went with it) but boy was he a mess when they finally found him. Epic moment!
(2) - I've seen many a mage of this ilk and sometimes play one such myself: Wisdom 6 plus damaging A-o-E spells equals danger, Will Robinson!
(3) - I only got to DM this one. Dumb as hell on the characters' part but hella entertaining and amusing to play out, and we've a story to tell for ages.
Fortune's no good if you're not around to spend it, and glory's just not that big a thing for most of us. (dying has some long-term risk in our games as, as per 1e, revival attempts don't come with success guaranteed and even if it does work you come back down a Con point)
