There's a humor author by the name of Terry Pratchett. My favorite
character of his is Rincewind the Wizzzard. Rincewind has a 10th
degree blackbelt in running away and an equally incredible skill with
getting out of trouble. Don't bother looking back, just run like hell
till you can't hear the crowd with the torches behind you and then
continue running for another hour after that. That works for me. When
there's something coming at me thats big, bad and could care less about
my feelings, I'm gonna do a Rincewind.

Rincewind is so fun. But in "Last Continent" he winds up not only a
hero, but known as a hero. He'll probably be back to normal soon,
though. I particularly like it when he's paired up with Cohen the
Barbarian. His attitude toward life is quite sensible, particularly
given his history.
