"What's your deal?" -> is it always blunt and aggressive? What's your deal? What's the deal? What's his deal? What's her deal? Would all of them sound somewhat aggressive and blunt? I've always seen those lines in drama or any media when the characters complaining.

Yes. They are blunt and aggressive statements. Not a shred of politeness in any of them.

They tend to be more blunt, but I would in certain contexts they are not. In North American English at least, "So what's your deal here?" could in certain circumstances--like when spoken in a friendly tone when meeting someone--would easily be interpreted as "what brings you here?/why are you here?" in a neutral, informal way. I can't remember the TV show, but I do recall a scene where two patients sitting alone in a hospital waiting room introduce themselves to one another politely, and one of the patients asks "So what's your deal?", the other patient then explaining her illness. Normally, though, it is indeed rather blunt and aggressive. As with many things in English, intonation is critical.
