Line 76:
* Lazarus Long from multiple [[Robert A. Heinlein]] stories, including ''Time Enough For Love'' and ''The Cat Who Walks Through Walls'' lived over two thousand years and done pretty much anything you can imagine, except die.
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has Tormund Gianstbane, whose many (likely self-applied) nicknames include "the Tall-Talker." He's a [[Boisterous Bruiser]] who delights in telling tall tales about his exploits and [[Biggus Dickus|physical characteristics]]. In reality, he's still a respected warrior and leader.
* Peter Storm in ''Azor!'' by Jim Henaghan was constantly telling people that he'd picked up various skills from "the time when I was an __..." (Circus [[Knife-Throwing Act]], for instance.) He did this deliberately, so people would '''think''' he was a Munchausen or perhaps a Miles Gloriosus, and not realize he actually was a British intelligence agent, highly regarded by those few who knew the truth.
