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. |
