'''Tyr:''' It should've. Because I lived. I clawed my way out over the bodies of the dead. I escaped into the desert. I lived on seep water and sand rats for an entire season. And then, one night after I'd healed, I visited the overseers and thanked them for their conscientious attention to worker safety. [[FaceDeathWithDignity So, don't you tell me that I'm going to die here today,]][[SubvertedTrope because the sun has not yet risen on the day when Tyr Anasazi, out of Victoria by Barbarossa, will face death graciously.]] I will kick, and claw, and bite, and scratch, and spit my last breath in its face, and as long as you are with me, you will do the same.

** Another example in Rommie's awesome is in the Season Two Episode "The Prince", When the crew must help a young noble assume power on a feudalistic planet, Dylan and Tyr both manipulate the titular prince was towards their own ends. However, Dylan manages to pull off a BatmanGambit on Tyr. During the corination, the nobles (backed by Tyr) attempt to assassinate both Dylan and the Prince. This gives Dylan the political excuse he needs to let Andromeda unleash her giant freaking killer robots on the nobles forces. disgusted with her ruthless slaughter of the enemy soldiers, the prince accesses Rommie of being just as ruthless as Tyr. Rommie without even missing a beat, in a deadpan tone simply states, "No, I'm better."
* Gaheris Rhade going back to change time in ''The Unconquerable Man''. The man that betrayed the Commonwealth have adopted the goal of restoring the Commonwealth to the point that he is willing to sacrifice ''everything'' for a better shot at it - not just his life, but even his reputation as anything but a traitor to the Commonwealth and his captain. Once genuinely convinced that saving Dylan would bring the Commonwealth closer to restoration, he barely even hesitates.

** Tyr giving his backstory in the Season Two premiere, while he and Harper are trapped on the Magog world ship. If you didn't find Tyr badass by then, this clearly spelled it out.
-->'''Tyr:''' When I was sixteen, after I'd lost my family, I was captured by slavers and sold to the diamond mines on Zokotl. One day while working in the mines, I noticed that the main support for my section had rotted through. I pointed it out to the overseers, but instead of fixing the problem, they cut my rations and doubled my work shifts. A week later, the ceiling collapsed, burying me alive two hundred metres under ground. \\
'''Harper:''' ''(sarcastically)'' Thanks. Cheered me right up. \\

** In the same episode, Rommie walks through the Magog-infested corridors of the Andromeda and absolutely destroys every group she comes across, nonchalantly tossing the ferocious Magog aside like they weigh nothing at all. It takes being literally pinned to the wall by a gigantic spear to slow her down - and before long, she pulls the spear out, tosses it aside, and just keeps on walking.
