A jaded player usually just needs to take a break from the game.

"The Buddha" is not actually a god in the western sense. The character is human, but ascended to heaven. It'd be a better parallel to say the Buddha is like a prophet, rather than a god."

What about a jaded DM? Surely people here have played with one / been one!
A DM who describes important NPC's as "He's a dwarf, he looks like a dwarf, why are you asking about his clothes!?"

Both of my examples are drawn from the same player who, thankfully, is no longer at my table.

This must be relatively common. A player is jaded and bored to the point where characters, even new ones, don't hold his interest, but for some reason he can't seem to just let the game go for a while and find something else to do.
Edit:
I have no idea how to 'fix' a jaded player...I'm not sure you can. The ones I've seen and dealt with have eventually drifted away, no matter what the DM or anyone else did. To be honest, anyone who becomes that disinterested in the hobby should probably move on, either temporarily or for good.
