The thing is Jaune is written special... even in Canon.

Don't get me wrong, but he is written, as you said, as the everyman... which happens to make him either special as a character for his situation, or just plain "special". Inexperienced authors treat this automatically as "special"(epic), even if it is "special"(circumstantial).
