Line #13 JustForFun/HowToBeBadass


1	Out to be badass, are you? Well, it's not as easy as it looks. Honestly, it's really not. But it ''is'' fun.
2	# Get a [[BadassLongcoat trenchcoat, or any other long coat that billows in the wind]].
3	# Learn to [[DramaticWind control the wind at least well enough to get it to blow your coat around]]. Failing that, always appear on windy days or get a portable fan.
4	# Be [[RuleOfCool as cool as possible]]. As a matter of fact, be cooler than humanly possible. And then some.
5	# [[TheDeterminator Don't let anything faze you]]. Especially not [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat multiple fatal injuries]].
6	# Don't feel any pain from being [[ManOnFire set on fire]]. If you do feel pain, you're not trying hard enough.
7	# Learn to be [[HeartbrokenBadass angsty]]. You don't have to be angsty (see point 16), just make sure you know how.
8	# [[MinoredInAsskicking Minor]] [[BadassTeacher in]] [[BadassBookworm asskicking.]]
9	# [[PermaStubble Stop shaving.]]
10	# [[BadassCreed Come up with an awesome motto or vow to recite in dramatic situations.]]
11	# Be friendly and cheerful during your off-time. This one's strictly optional, of course, but it has the added bonus of making [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass everything you do]] [[LetsGetDangerous when it's]] ''[[LetsGetDangerous not]]'' [[LetsGetDangerous your off-time]] [[MemeticBadass look twice as awesome]].
12	# Try not to get kidnapped ''at all'' (Unless if it's part of a [[ThePlan plan]]). Learn escape skills so when you get kidnapped, it's so you can show off your awesome escape skills.
13	# In case of escape skills being disabled, then fine. However, when you are rescued, [[BadassInDistress get back at those kidnappers and own them awesomely]], so you don't look like you've been [[BadassDecay reduced to a]] DistressedDude [[{{Chickification}} or]] [[DamselInDistress Damsel]].
14	# Learn to [[IndyPloy think on your feet]]. When your enemy dies in a particularly noteworthy manner it is your obligation to make [[BondOneLiner a witty quip that suits the situation]]. Puns are not only allowed, they're near-mandatory.
15	# Always [[NervesOfSteel keep your wits]] about you.
16	# [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill There's still no such thing as overkill]].
17	# There is a fine limit to how much angst you're allowed to indulge in while remaining badass. Nothing below the death of your LoveInterest should faze you.
18	# [[HumansAreWarriors Be born on Earth]]. Or be part of an alien/fantastic race [[StockSuperpowersIndex with natural, amazing metahuman abilities]].
19	# [[BadassNormal Just be yourself]].
20	# Expanding on Rule 15, [[MoreDakka There is no such thing as Enough Dakka.]] If you can't get a gun that is [[{{BFG}} bigger]] and/or puts more rounds per second downrange, add another. If you can't get anything with a barrel bigger than your head or with multiple barrels, a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver]] ([[GunsAkimbo or two]]) of any size will work in a pinch.
21	# As an alternative to Rule 19, [[HeroesPreferSwords a sword]] [[DualWielding or two]] may be more your style.[[KatanasAreJustBetter A katana]] will always beat anything that isn't also a katana [[WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter that is wooden.]] [[{{BFS}} Of course, the bigger]] [[OneHandedZweihander and fewer hands you use]] the better.
22	# Always have a comeback on hand. Sarcasm is a key part of showing your badassery.
