History BadassCreed / VideoGames

--->"Laa shaya waq'in moutlaq bale kouloun mounkine." (Arabic, literally "Nothing is absolute; Everything is permitted.")
---> [[spoiler:'''Machiavelli''']]: "Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember:"\\
'''Ezio:''' "Nothing is true."\\
[[spoiler:'''Machiavelli''']]: "Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember:"\\
'''Ezio:''' "Everything is permitted."\\
[[spoiler:'''Machiavelli''']]: "We work in the dark to serve the light. We are assassins."\\
'''All:''' "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted."

---> '''Altair:''' I understand now that our Creed does not command us to be free. It commands us to be ''wise''.

---> '''Ezio:''' To say that nothing is true, is to recognize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

--->'''Ah Tabai''': And what do you think of our Creed?\\
'''Edward''': It's hard to say. For if nothing is true, [[StrawNihilist why believe anything?]] And if everything is permitted, [[TheHedonist why not chase every desire?]]\\
'''Ah Tabai''': Why indeed?\\
'''Edward''': It might be that this idea is only the ''beginning'' of wisdom, and not its final form.\\
'''Ah Tabai''': That's quite a step up from the Edward I met here many years ago.

--> "I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction. I am Hakumen. THE END HAS COME!"

-->"I am strength. I am power. I am everything. My very being is the sword of the gods that will destroy all! I am [[spoiler:Takehaya Susanoo]]. THE END HAS COME!"

-->''"Dispatched in mankind's darkest hour, we are knights of the blue flame!"''

-->"Hailed by the heavens, earth, and people, the one and only '''''Bang Shishigami''''' is now here!"\\
"''The heavens, the earth, '''and a million squirrels''' call to me!'' *{{beat}}* Huh? What? They don't?"
-->Upon activating his [[MemeticMutation Bang Install]] super: "'''Quicker than the Winds and as Still as the Forest! Hotter than Flames and more Magnificent than a Mountain!'''"

--> ''Dispatched in mankind's darkest... Uh... *mumbling* [[Funny/BlazBlue Oh, forget it]]!''

-->''Oh silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond, heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way! Lay waste.''

-->''From beyond the realm of souls and birth; I call upon the Ur-Sword to bring ruin upon my enemies. Perish''
*** That's right. The UR-SWORD. The original blade.

-->''White feathers for innocence. Black feathers for darkest sin. We are the message endeavors of God, come to deliver righteous justice! Let sinners be punished. Let justice be done!''

-->''This world was created by the hands of the Gods. Every thing is false. Everything is a lie! The final days have come. And now,'' '''''LET EVERYTHING BE DESTROYED!!!'''''

--> ''Allow me to show you the power... Of the full moon! Night has now fallen... The moon shines bright! '''The play is now through!'''''

--> ''I'll show you... THE POWER OF THE AZURE! I'll show you fear. There is no hell... JUST DARKNESS!''

--> ''Brotherhood. Unity. Peace.''
--> ''One vision. One purpose.''
--> ''Peace through Power.'' (Sometimes combined with the previous one)
--> ''You can't kill the Messiah.'' (Kane's personal motto.)

---> '''Slavik''': In the name of Kane!
---> '''Army of Nod Troops''': Kane lives in death!
---> '''Slavik''': ''In the name of Kane!''
---> '''Army''': ''Kane lives in death!''
---> '''Slavik''': ''In the name of'' '''Kane!'''
---> '''Army''': ''Kane lives in-''
---> '''Kane''': '''KANE... LIVES!'''

--> "Pain now; reward in the afterlife."

--> "Only in death does duty end."

--> Duty does not end in death; death is only the beginning.

--> "None shall find us wanting."

--> ''We are Cabal. We eat the mountains. We drink the seas.''

--> ''...we held the line and we didn't die. That's victory. It says so on the gun.''

--> My honoured brethren
--> we come together
--> to unite as one
--> against those that are damned
--> we show no mercy
--> for we have none.
--> Our enemies shall fall
--> as we uprise
--> to claim our fate
--> now and forever
--> we'll be together
--> in love and hate.

--> '''Dante:''' Devils Never Cry.

-->"What fires burn within my heart and force me to contend
-->With the perils that await me at this tragic journey's end?

-->I have walked the roads that lead to Hell, I have challenged all but Fate.
-->I have fought and bled and carried on just to reach this final gate.
-->And now the task before me looms, this dire deed undone;
-->I shall make my stand against the Three until the battle's won.

-->What fear or wound could ever still this last defiant cry,
-->As I stand against the Shadow 'neath the endless burning sky?"

-->Join us brothers and sisters.\\

--> We are the Dalish.\\

--> Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just. Blessed are those who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.

-->"Struggle is an illusion. The tide rises, the tide falls, but the sea is changeless. There is nothing to struggle against. Victory is in the Qun."

--> "Be bound here for eternity, hunger stilled, rage smothered, desire dampened, pride crushed. In the name of the Maker, so let it be."

--> "Magic will serve that which is best in me. Not that which is most base".

--> "I ''have'' a purpose. '''I protect Kirkwall.'''"

* In the minecraft game VideoGame/{{Dwarves Vs Zombies}}, when the mobs get released, Old Man Wilikers shouts the dwaves:
-->''I AM A DWARF! AND THIS IS MY SHRINE!''
-->''WE FEAR NOT DEATH, WE FEAR NOT TIME,''
-->''FOR WHEN THE GOLD RUNS LOW,''
-->''AND THE ALE RUNS DRY,''
-->''KNOW THAT DEATH DID NOT CHOOSE ME,''
-->''I CHOSE THIS NIGHT!''

--> ''"Upon my honor I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor and unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire. May those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!"

-->''Here in my temple''
-->''Here in my shrine''
-->''That you have forgotten''
-->''Here do you toil''
-->''That you might remember''
-->''Here you reclaim''
-->''What faithless minds have stolen''
-->''Far from yourself''
-->''I grow ever nearer to you''
-->''Your eyes once were blinded''
-->''Now through me do you see''
-->''Your hands once were idle''
-->''Now through them do I speak''
-->''And when the world shall listen''
-->''And when the world shall see''
-->''And when the world remembers''
-->''That world will cease to be.''

-->''I am the bone of my sword.''
-->''Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.''
-->''I have created over a thousand blades.''
-->''Unknown to Death, nor known to Life.''
-->''Have withstood pain to create many weapons.''
-->''Yet, those hands will never hold anything.''
-->''So as I pray, [[CallingYourAttacks Unlimited Blade Works!]]''

-->''I am the bone of my sword.''
-->''Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.''
-->''I have created over a thousand blades.''
-->''Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain.''
-->''Withstood pain to create weapons, waiting for one's arrival.''
-->''I have no regrets; this is the only path.''
-->''My whole life was [[CallingYourAttacks Unlimited Blade Works!]]''

-->''Once seeking for the ultimate blade.\\

-->'''Order of Whispers:''' "Fight what cannot be fought." / "Know what cannot be known." / "Kill what cannot be killed."
-->'''The Vigil:''' "Some must fight, so that all may be free."
-->'''Durmand Priory:''' "Your power is only equal to the sum of your knowledge."

** The Elites have one in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'' that is chanted as a call/response series:
-->"When we joined the Covenant, we took an oath."
-->''"According to our station, all without exception."''
-->"On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons. We swore to uphold the Covenant."
-->''"Even to our dying breath!"''
-->"Those who would break this oath are heretics, worth of neither pity nor mercy. Even now they use our Lord's creations to broadcast their lies."
-->''"We shall grind them into dust--"''
-->"--And continue our march to glorious salvation!"

-->"Spartans never die. They just go to Hell and regroup."

-->"Jump Feet First into Hell."

-->"We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us, we are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise."

-->"When in doubt, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flee]]".

--> Where does the Vanguard stand?!
--> ''Front of the line!''
--> Why there?!
--> ''Steel before iron!''
--> And what do we do?!
--> ''Hit 'em with a hammer 'til they can't fight no more!''

--> ''[[MagnificentBastard I've]] twice been conquered-
--> Three times more,
--> [[AIIsACrapShoot Never again shall humanity purge me]],
--> And never the Pfhor.''

---> '''Shepard''': I won't let fear compromise who I am.

--> Zero: "I never cared about justice, and I don't ever recall calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people that I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears before me, I ''will'' destroy it!"

--> '''Phantom''': Give light to people. Give death to Mavericks. No one shall disgrace master X. Your termination will now commence!

-->''We are Hope''
-->''We are Honor''
-->''We are Courage''
-->''We are Justice''
-->''We are Compassion''
-->''We are Determination''
-->''We are Harmony''
-->''We are Overwatch''

-->Know that when death comes for you,
-->know that I shall meet its blade with mine.
-->Know that when all dies around you,
-->Know I shall live for your sake.
** He also has a the simple "Endure. In enduring grow strong."?

--> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpMV2uVhdO8 "WHEN WE HUNT WE KILL. NO ONE IS SAFE. NOTHING IS SACRED. WE ARE BLACKWATCH. WE ARE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE. WE WILL BURN OUR OWN TO HOLD THE REDLINE. IT IS THE LAST LINE TO EVER HOLD."]]

* From ''VideoGame/{{Samurai Shodown}}''
--> It is a Bushi's nature
--> To fight and die
--> I will be a victorious devil
--> And all of my enemies will be
--> Cut into pieces

--->To have no fear
--->To slice and kill
--->To survive

-->''Pledge thy Life to Realm and Quest''\\

--> I am matter.
--> I am antimatter.
--> I can see your past.
--> I can see your future.
--> I consume time...
--> And I will consume you!

---> [[color:red:We fight for evil!]]\\

--> ''Majiwara zarishi inochi ni, ima mo tarasaren setsuna no kiseki/Instant miracles are not brought to mix with life now''
--> ''Toki wo hete...Koko ni yuugou seshi mirai he no taidou!/Time passes... Unite here and rise to the future!''
--> '''''[[CallingYourAttacks GISHOU KEN!!]]''' [[spoiler:* mask breaks, revealing Leon Magnus* ]]''
--> ''Boku wa... kako wo tachikiru. Chire!/I cut off the past... Scatter!''
--> '''''[[CallingYourAttacks MAJIN RENGOKUSATSU!!!/INFERNAL SUFFERING!!!]]'''''

--> ''Blood rejects blood, heart breaks heart,''
--> ''Miracles won't come true, therefore, they don't exist...''
--> ''You resist?''

---> ''[[HeroesPreferSwords O brilliant blade of coldest steel]],''
---> ''[[FlashStep Rend the infinite darkness]],''
---> ''[[SpamAttack And crush my enemies to nothing!]]''
---> ''[[CallingYourAttacks SAVAGE WOLF FURY!]]''

--> '''Joon''': ''I am Joon Yorigami. The worst, most disastrous plague god!''
--> '''Shion''': ''And I'm her older sister, Shion Yorigami. [[JerkassGods The worst, most disastrous poverty god.]]''
--> '''Joon/Shion''': ''We're the [[RuleOfThree worst, most disastrous]] sisters! [[InTheNameOfTheMoon And we won't let you forget it!]]''

-->"I am he who watches they. I am the fist of retribution. That which does quell the recalcitrant. Dare you defy the Warchief? Dare you face my merciless judgement?"

---> '''For The Horde!'''

--> ''Death to those who oppose us!''

-->'''High Commander Halford Wyrmbane''': Through the valleys and peaks of Mount Hyjal, across the shifting sands of Silithus, against the Legion's dread armies - we have fought. We are the nameless, faceless, sons and daughters of the Alliance. By the Light and by the might of the Alliance, the first strike belongs to us and the last strike is all that our enemies see. ''We are 7th Legion''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}''
--> ''[[MagnificentBastard I've]] twice been conquered-
--> Three times more,
--> [[AIIsACrapShoot Never again shall humanity purge me]],
--> And never the Pfhor.''

* ''VisualNovel/PhantomThiefSilverCat'': The matrilineal side of Ginka's family has one, about fighting against wickedness no matter how others judge them.

* From the flavor text of ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' we get this poem, "Long Road's End" by C. Vincent Metzen:
-->“What fires burn within my heart and force me to contend
-->With the perils that await me at this tragic journey’s end?

-->I have walked the roads that lead to Hell, I have challenged all but Fate.
-->I have fought and bled and carried on just to reach this final gate.
-->And now the task before me looms, this dire deed undone;
-->I shall make my stand against the Three until the battle's won.

-->What fear or wound could ever still this last defiant cry,
-->As I stand against the Shadow 'neath the endless burning sky?”
* ''VideoGame/DeusEx''.
-->'''Morgan Everett:''' We are the Invisible Hand. We are the Illuminati. We come before and after. We are forever. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the day.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' has a number of these.
** The creed of the Grey Wardens: "In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice]]."
** The Warden Oath, spoken at the Joining:
-->Join us brothers and sisters.\\
Join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant.\\
Join us as we carry the duty that can not be forsworn.\\
And should you perish, know that your sacrifice will not be forgotten.\\
And that one day we shall join you.
** The Dalish Elves have the "Oath of the Dales";
--> We are the Dalish.\\
Keepers of the lost lore, walkers of the lonely path.\\
We are the last of the Elvhenan,\\
And ''never'' again shall we submit.

* "Death before dishonour," the creed of the Orlesian chevaliers.
** From the Chant of Light, notably spoken by Knight-Commander Meredith in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'':
--> Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just. Blessed are those who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.
** The Qunari have their own, as well;
-->"Struggle is an illusion. The tide rises, the tide falls, but the sea is changeless. There is nothing to struggle against. Victory is in the Qun."
* In the ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' DLC quest ''Legacy'', Malcolm Hawke, the protagonist's father, also made one into a Badass Prayer:
--> "Be bound here for eternity, hunger stilled, rage smothered, desire dampened, pride crushed. In the name of the Maker, so let it be."
** Malcolm Hawke's own personal creed:
--> "Magic will serve that which is best in me. Not that which is most base".
** In the DLC ''Mark of the Assassin,'' Hawke proves that badass creeds run in the family, stating their primary motivation for their actions;
--> "I ''have'' a purpose. '''I protect Kirkwall.'''"
* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Thane Krios also has his own.
-->''Amonkira. Lord of Hunters. Grant that my hands be steady, my aim be true, and my feet swift. And should the worst come to pass, grant me forgiveness.''
** Paragon Shepard gives their character defining line in ''2'', while invoking it in [[spoiler: the Refusal Ending]] in ''3''.
---> '''Shepard''': I won't let fear compromise who I am.

* While most of the cast in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' carry a BadassBoast in their "Meet the..." videos, the Sniper has a code. "Professionals have ''standards''. Be polite, be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
* [[VideoGame/FatalFury Kim]] [[TheCape Kaphwan]] [[JusticeWillPrevail would like to remind you]] that [[DetectEvil evil]] [[HotBlooded is]] '''''[[ThisIsUnforgivable UNFORGIVABLE.]]'''''
* ''VideoGame/TooHuman'', in a sendup to the Klingon example:
-->'''Berserker:''' It's a good day to die!
-->'''Soldier:''' You always say that.
-->'''Berserker:''' It always is.
* Richter Belmont from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'': "I'm a Belmont. That's my job."
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
** The Elites have one in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'' that is chanted as a call/response series:
-->"When we joined the Covenant, we took an oath."
-->''"According to our station, all without exception."''
-->"On the blood of our fathers. On the blood of our sons. We swore to uphold the Covenant."
-->''"Even to our dying breath!"''
-->"Those who would break this oath are heretics, worth of neither pity nor mercy. Even now they use our Lord's creations to broadcast their lies."
-->''"We shall grind them into dust--"''
-->"--And continue our march to glorious salvation!"
** There's one for the Spartan-[=IIs=] and [=IIIs=] too:
-->"Spartans never die. They just go to Hell and regroup."
** Don't forget the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers of the 105th Shock Troops Division:
-->"Jump Feet First into Hell."
** The [=ODSTs=] get an even more badass one in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IklqPx3unjs We Are ODST]] trailer. The song lyrics, translated from Welsh:
-->"We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us, we are glad to plunge feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise."
** Averted with the [[ButtMonkey Grunts]], who appropriately enough have a creed as wimpy [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain as they are]].
-->"When in doubt, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flee]]".
* ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}''
--> ''[[MagnificentBastard I've]] twice been conquered-
--> Three times more,
--> [[AIIsACrapShoot Never again shall humanity purge me]],
--> And never the Pfhor.''

* ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'': "Nothing is pointless! And the reason is... '''''[[RuleOfCool because]] I'm [[RankScalesWithAsskicking the President]] of [[{{Eagleland}} the United States of America]]!'''''"
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' and the rest of the ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' franchise has a good number.
** [[BlackKnight The Knights of the Ebon Blade]] seem to have a couple; "Suffer well" among others. "Harness your hate. Make it useful."
** One very simple line that Knights of the Ebon Blade [=NPCs=] use as a greeting when clicked on kind of sums them up: '''"We press on."''' They are moving forward despite all of them having been through almost literal hell. It's such a simple, evocative way of saying to Arthas, "Fuck you, ''we're still here.''"
** As of the ''Legion'' expansion, the reigning creed of the Knights is [[TheUnfettered "We do what the living cannot."]] The Knights of the Ebon Blade are willing to go to extremes the other factions will not for the sake of Azeroth's protection.
** Varok Saurfang has a good one.
-->"I am he who watches they. I am the fist of retribution. That which does quell the recalcitrant. Dare you defy the Warchief? Dare you face my merciless judgement?"
** The Horde in general has: "Lok'Tar Ogar! Blood and Thunder! My life for the Horde!", although the entire creed is rarely ever spoken in its entirety, except during a quest to grant the Taunka membership in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft.''.
** ''Lok'tar Ogar'' translates as ''Victory or Death''!
---> '''For The Horde!'''
** The Blood Elves have the straight-to-the-point
--> ''Death to those who oppose us!''
** [[ThePaladin The Knights of the Silver Hand]] have "Esarus thar no'Darador", translated as "By blood and honor we serve".
** The Alliance's [[BadassArmy 7th legion]] has one:
-->'''High Commander Halford Wyrmbane''': Through the valleys and peaks of Mount Hyjal, across the shifting sands of Silithus, against the Legion's dread armies - we have fought. We are the nameless, faceless, sons and daughters of the Alliance. By the Light and by the might of the Alliance, the first strike belongs to us and the last strike is all that our enemies see. ''We are 7th Legion''.

* Reversal from ''Videogame/Hitman2SilentAssassin'', and possibly Real Life: "I don't know anything, I didn't see anything, I wasn't there, and if I was there I was asleep." A reversal because, rather than pointing out that people should be afraid of the speaker, it's pointing out that ''he'' should be afraid of other people.
* The Brotherhood of Nod from the ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSeries'' has plenty, being a [[ChurchMilitant Army loyal to]] [[DarkMessiah Kane]], the most prominent being:
--> ''Brotherhood. Unity. Peace.''
--> ''One vision. One purpose.''
--> ''Peace through Power.'' (Sometimes combined with the previous one)
--> ''You can't kill the Messiah.'' (Kane's personal motto.)
** And, in one scene from ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun Tiberian Sun]]'':
---> '''Slavik''': In the name of Kane!
---> '''Army of Nod Troops''': Kane lives in death!
---> '''Slavik''': ''In the name of Kane!''
---> '''Army''': ''Kane lives in death!''
---> '''Slavik''': ''In the name of'' '''Kane!'''
---> '''Army''': ''Kane lives in-''
---> '''Kane''': '''KANE... LIVES!'''
* VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'s Blackwatch:
--> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpMV2uVhdO8 "WHEN WE HUNT WE KILL. NO ONE IS SAFE. NOTHING IS SACRED. WE ARE BLACKWATCH. WE ARE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE. WE WILL BURN OUR OWN TO HOLD THE REDLINE. IT IS THE LAST LINE TO EVER HOLD."]]

* The {{Superboss}} of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'':
--> I am matter.
--> I am antimatter.
--> I can see your past.
--> I can see your future.
--> I consume time...
--> And I will consume you!
** The evil {{Sentai}} team you face in Barrel Volcano:
---> [[color:red:We fight for evil!]]\\
We live for disorder!\\
[[color:green:We like what we do!]]\\
[[color:pink:We struggle for chaos!]]\\
[[color:yellow:We are...]]\\

* Here's one in ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2'', said by Judas:
--> ''Majiwara zarishi inochi ni, ima mo tarasaren setsuna no kiseki/Instant miracles are not brought to mix with life now''
--> ''Toki wo hete...Koko ni yuugou seshi mirai he no taidou!/Time passes... Unite here and rise to the future!''
--> '''''[[CallingYourAttacks GISHOU KEN!!]]''' [[spoiler:* mask breaks, revealing Leon Magnus* ]]''
--> ''Boku wa... kako wo tachikiru. Chire!/I cut off the past... Scatter!''
--> '''''[[CallingYourAttacks MAJIN RENGOKUSATSU!!!/INFERNAL SUFFERING!!!]]'''''
** This BadassCreed is so badass, it has subtitles:
--> ''Blood rejects blood, heart breaks heart,''
--> ''Miracles won't come true, therefore, they don't exist...''
--> ''You resist?''
** Similarly, Videogame/TalesOfVesperia gives us Yuri Lowell's [[LimitBreak Mystic Arte]]:
---> ''[[HeroesPreferSwords O brilliant blade of coldest steel]],''
---> ''[[FlashStep Rend the infinite darkness]],''
---> ''[[SpamAttack And crush my enemies to nothing!]]''
---> ''[[CallingYourAttacks SAVAGE WOLF FURY!]]''
* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI My name is Ultima... I am power both ancient and unrivaled... I do not bleed, for I am but strength given form... Feeble creatures of flesh... Your time is nigh!]]
** Or, as we used to know it, "My name is Atma... I am pure energy... and as ancient as the cosmos. Feeble creatures, GO!"
* The title character of ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' gives us this little gem, said at the end of the fourth and final game (of the series):
--> Zero: "I never cared about justice, and I don't ever recall calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people that I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears before me, I ''will'' destroy it!"
** Copy X's Guardian Hidden Phantom has one as well.
--> '''Phantom''': Give light to people. Give death to Mavericks. No one shall disgrace master X. Your termination will now commence!
* In ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare2'', [[spoiler:Captain Price]] gives an epicly poetic-awesome speech in response to [[spoiler:General Shepherd betraying him & Soap]]:
-->"The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him."

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''
--> Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain - or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'' the Black Shields of the Holy Empire of Sanbreque have a creed they recite before going into battle. On paper, it describes them as being NecessarilyEvil to ensure the safety and prosperity of their nation. In practice, the Black Shields are butchers that exist for the purpose of CrushingThePopulace of the annexed Rosaria.
-->"To dwell in darkness that we may purge the night and welcome lasting dawn. One these, our swords we swear."
* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' has Dak'kon with this:
-->Know that when death comes for you,
-->know that I shall meet its blade with mine.
-->Know that when all dies around you,
-->Know I shall live for your sake.
** He also has a the simple "Endure. In enduring grow strong."?
* [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Devil Jin]] starts every fight with "Kyoufu o oshiete yarou." ("I will teach you how to fear.")
* Sanger Zonvolt would like to remind you that HE IS THE SWORD THAT SMITES EVIL!

* [[SuperSoldier The Zuul]] from ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars'' have the species-wide creed, which also finishes its leader's BadassBoast in the intro:
-->Born of fire! Born of steel! Born of science! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Born! Of! Blood!]]
* ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol'', for the eponymous organization: Quo Nemi Sequi Potest. "Where No One Can Follow."
* ''VideoGame/EveOnline'':
** The Ushra'Khan alliance: "We come for our people."
** Those who fly Minmatar ships: "In Rust We Trust."
** The Amarr loyalists have their age-old BattleCry "Amarr Victor!"
*** When the Empyrean War broke out, some Minmatar loyalists adopted the rejoinder "Matar Victor!"
* ''VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany'' has the Legionaires and their motto "Acta Non Verba" which literally means in Latin "Action, Not Words."
* [[VideoGame/BioShock1 Andrew Ryan's]] personal motto:
--> "A man chooses. A slave obeys..."
** From ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' "We will be reborn in the cold womb of the ocean."
* ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'': "From the hate-scorched sky / With righteous anger in our hearts / We draw forth the sword that smites Evil / Thou art the innocent blade--Demonbane!"

* The Midnight Squad in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'':
-->We gather in moonlight
-->when the clock strikes midnight,
-->With intellect our torch
-->and humanity our compass.
-->Quill or sword in hand,
-->we move through the mysteries of the night,
-->Despite what horrors we face
-->or dark lore we uncover.
-->We shall press on.
-->For this is the oath
-->and the burden of the Midnighter.
* From ''VideoGame/{{Samurai Shodown}}''
--> It is a Bushi's nature
--> To fight and die
--> I will be a victorious devil
--> And all of my enemies will be
--> Cut into pieces
** And also:
--->To have no fear
--->To slice and kill
--->To survive

* In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy Naegi's]] "I'm more optimistic than most people" becomes this by the end of the game.
* From ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' we have the creed of the [[BadassBookworm Blood Raven Chapter's Chaplain]]:
--> "Pain now; reward in the afterlife."
** Another one that is said by just about all the Adeptus Astartes:
--> "Only in death does duty end."
** Or for those chosen to be interred in Dreadnoughts:
--> Duty does not end in death; death is only the beginning.
** After the Aurelian Crusade, we get this gem from the Blood Ravens:
--> "None shall find us wanting."
** The Dark Eldar has one that is (appropriately) equal parts inspiring and terrifying: "No death!" Heartening, until you realize they mean no death ''for their enemies''. The longer version is "Death [[ColdBloodedTorture only after great pain.]]"
* A meta example in VideoGame/DwarfFortress: "Losing is fun." Translated to the common man, this would read a bit more like "We entertain ourselves through fire and death".

* In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', there is Archer's [[FieldOfBlades Unlimited]] [[StormOfBlades Blade]] [[LimitBreak Works]] aria, delivered in English:
-->''I am the bone of my sword.''
-->''Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.''
-->''I have created over a thousand blades.''
-->''Unknown to Death, nor known to Life.''
-->''Have withstood pain to create many weapons.''
-->''Yet, those hands will never hold anything.''
-->''So as I pray, [[CallingYourAttacks Unlimited Blade Works!]]''
** [[spoiler: Shirou]] gets their own version:
-->''I am the bone of my sword.''
-->''Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.''
-->''I have created over a thousand blades.''
-->''Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain.''
-->''Withstood pain to create weapons, waiting for one's arrival.''
-->''I have no regrets; this is the only path.''
-->''My whole life was [[CallingYourAttacks Unlimited Blade Works!]]''
** In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', [[spoiler:Sengo Muramasa (implied to be Shirou's ancestor), as a pseudo-Servant borrowing Shirou's body]] has his own more verbose version:
-->''Once seeking for the ultimate blade.\\
A blade of steel cutting no flesh, nor bones and neither life.\\
What I seek for is the clearance of resentment.\\
The cutting of bonds, fate and destiny.\\
That is, to free oneself from Karma.\\
Upon one's arrival are countless tools.\\
Carved over a thousand blades, forming a pile of swords.\\
This is the place where all paths cross.\\
This is the place where all desires flow.\\
This is the place where all deaths await.\\
My whole life was for this single swing.\\
The heart of the blade is right here!''
* In the minecraft game VideoGame/{{Dwarves Vs Zombies}}, when the mobs get released, Old Man Wilikers shouts the dwaves:
-->''I AM A DWARF! AND THIS IS MY SHRINE!''
-->''WE FEAR NOT DEATH, WE FEAR NOT TIME,''
-->''FOR WHEN THE GOLD RUNS LOW,''
-->''AND THE ALE RUNS DRY,''
-->''KNOW THAT DEATH DID NOT CHOOSE ME,''
-->''I CHOSE THIS NIGHT!''
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'':
** The oath to join the [[BadassArmy Imperial Legion]] qualifies:
--> ''"Upon my honor I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor and unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire. May those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!"
** The ''Dragonborn'' DLC has [[BigBad Miraak]] and the chant by those under his MassHypnosis:
-->''Here in my temple''
-->''Here in my shrine''
-->''That you have forgotten''
-->''Here do you toil''
-->''That you might remember''
-->''Here you reclaim''
-->''What faithless minds have stolen''
-->''Far from yourself''
-->''I grow ever nearer to you''
-->''Your eyes once were blinded''
-->''Now through me do you see''
-->''Your hands once were idle''
-->''Now through them do I speak''
-->''And when the world shall listen''
-->''And when the world shall see''
-->''And when the world remembers''
-->''That world will cease to be.''

* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'':
** The ''Apocalypse'' [[https://youtu.be/zW3YB2ptGws cinematic trailer]] gives us the oath of the [[TheFederation United Nations of Earth]] military:
-->''I solemnly swear to devote my life and abilities''
-->''In defense of the United Nations of Earth''
-->''To defend the Constitution of Man''
-->''And to further the universal rights of all sentient life''
-->''From the depths of the Pacific, to the edge of the galaxy''
-->''For as long as I shall live!''
** [[BenevolentAI Rogue Servitors]] have one as a greeting: "To protect and to serve." Short and sweet, [[ShutUpHannibal especially when said as a rebuttal to]] [[FinalSolution Determined Exterminators, Devouring Swarms or Absolute Xenophobes]].
** From[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHTRLCEwcKY Toxoids DLC release trailer]], we have the Knights of the Toxic God:
-->''Pledge thy Life to Realm and Quest''
-->''Sword and Shield both Order blessed''
-->''With blaizing Starts and Void to trod''
-->''Swear thy Heart to the Toxic God''
-->''No fearsome Foe nor Vastness black''
-->''No moat or wild shall hold thee back''
-->''Let Faith and Honor be thy Guide''
-->''To Chivalry and Oath abide''
-->''Now swear thy Vow, take up the Fight''
-->''Raise thy Sword and Rise a Knight!''
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' sees every major character use a BadassBoast, but only [[SiblingTeam Joon and Shion Yorigami]] repeat theirs to creed level:
--> '''Joon''': ''I am Joon Yorigami. The worst, most disastrous plague god!''
--> '''Shion''': ''And I’m her older sister, Shion Yorigami. [[JerkassGods The worst, most disastrous poverty god.]]''
--> '''Joon/Shion''': ''We’re the [[RuleOfThree worst, most disastrous]] sisters! [[InTheNameOfTheMoon And we won't let you forget it!]]''

* In ''Tom Clancy's VideoGame/EndWar'', the special forces units of the USA, Russia and the European Federation all have some very impressive mottos:
** JSF 13th Airborne: ''Judgement From the Heavens''
** JSF 35th Airborne: ''DeathFromAbove''
** JSF 26th Mechanized: ''Drive It Like You Stole It''
** Spetznaz 13th Airborne: ''You Should Be Running Now''

* The [[MegaCorp Umbrella Corporation]] motto recited for trainees at the Management Training Facility in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'':
-->''Obedience breeds Discipline''\\
''Discipline breeds Unity''\\
''Unity breeds Power''\\
''Power is Life''
* In ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'', the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights live by a creed that all members aspire to live up to.
-->''Forever pure, forever righteous!''

* The Oseram Vanguard from ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' has one. Because of course they do.
--> Where does the Vanguard stand?!
--> ''Front of the line!''
--> Why there?!
--> ''Steel before iron!''
--> And what do we do?!
--> ''Hit 'em with a hammer 'til they can't fight no more!''
* ''VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg'': Each of the major starting factions has one:
** Reichspakt: ''Guard The Balance''.
** Entente: ''Reclaim The Birthright''.
** Third International: ''Break The Chains''.
* ''VideoGame/Destiny2'':
** The Cabal empire gets one in Season of the Chosen, spoken by their new Empress, Caiatl:
--> ''We are Cabal. We eat the mountains. We drink the seas.''
** The Exotic scout rifle, Skyburner’s Oath, is said to have the words “Victory or death!” inscribed on it. The nameless Cabal grunt who previously wielded it interpreted it a little differently than normal, though:
--> ''…we held the line and we didn't die. That's victory. It says so on the gun.''
* The Knight's Pledge in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI''.
-->''A knight's word is his bond, his kingdom his master. He serves the weak untiringly, challenges the strong unflinchingly and never retreats in the face of adversity.''
* Throughout ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'' and ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeonII'', followers of the Light recurrently shout, "We are the Flame!" It's even the name of the first mission in the titular Darkest Dungeon.

-->With the perils that await me at this tragic journey’s end?

-->"Laa shaya waq'in moutlaq bale kouloun mounkine." (Arabic, literally "Nothing is absolute; Everything is permitted.")
--> [[spoiler:'''Machiavelli''']]: "Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember:"\\

* ''VideoGame/{{Blazblue}}'' has pretty much every character have one.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'' the Black Shields of the Holy Empire of Sanbreque have a creed they recite before going into battle. On paper, it describes them as being NecessarilyEvil to ensure the safety and prosperity of their nation. In practice, the Black Shields are butchers used to CrushThePopulace of the annexed Rosaria.
