Line #26 PlayingWith/BadassFamily


1	'''Basic Trope''': A family in the story are badasses when together.
2	* '''Straight''': In the RPG ''Legendary Heroes'', the main characters Alice, Bob, Carol, and Dan are all cousins and siblings (Bob and Dan are brothers to Alice and Carol respectively).
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Their [[{{MamaBear}} Moms]] [[{{BattleCouple}} and]] [[{{PapaWolf}} Dads]] join the party.
5	** Their [[{{RetiredBadass}} Grandparents]] occasionally join the party as [[{{MentorArchetype}} Old Mentors]].
6	** Their [[{{ActionPet}} pets]] join the party and become [[{{Familiar}} familiars]].
7	*** It turns out that their whole bloodline is a {{Heroic Lineage}} that, due to inheriting an [[{{FriendtoAllLivingThings}} affinity for animals]], leads to a trend of pretty cool [[{{FluffyTamer}} pets]] too.
8	* '''Downplayed''': David and his son Edgar are martial artists but his brother and wife are not.
9	* '''Justified''':
10	** The main characters inherit the power of the five children.
11	** The main characters are part of a warrior caste trained from childhood in martial arts.
12	** EveryoneIsASuper
13	** The couple is a BattleCouple with superpowers, and their children either find out through the story or already knew they have [[SuperpowerfulGenetics inherited their parents superpowers]] and either use the same powers or a variant that gives the family a lot of battle options.
14	* '''Inverted''': With more relatives, they become a PowerLimiter for each other.
15	* '''Subverted''': The family members are all fighting ''[[BigScrewedUpFamily each other]]''.

17	* '''Parodied''': A family of badasses who [[DysfunctionalFamily continuously bicker]] while they fight the villains.

19	* '''Averted''': The family have no fighting skills whatsoever.
20	* '''Enforced''': "We need more badasses, but we can't add more characters! I know, let's make an existing family fighting experts!"
21	* '''Lampshaded''': "The family that kicks butt together, stays together."
22	* '''Invoked''':
23	** MamaBear and PapaWolf saving their kids, or the [[ParentsInDistress kids saving their parents]]. By the end of the story, the entire family fights the villain together.
24	** The family starts training in fighting.
25	** The BattleCouple knows that their enemies will likely target the kids. Why not make sure the kids can hold their own?
26	** The family is part of a ProudWarriorRace. To not train your kids in fighting would be as unthinkable as not teaching them to read.
27	* '''Exploited''': The family's enemies know that if you can get [[RetiredBadass Grandma]], then you can lure everyone else into a trap.
28	* '''Defied''': The family stops fighting.
29	* '''Discussed''': "Look, honey. You're an action mom, I'm an action dad. The only way our kids are going to ''survive'' to adulthood is if we train them to keep up."
30	* '''Conversed''': "You ever noticed that ass-kicking seems to run in the family as far as these kind of shows are concerned?"
31	* '''Implied''': Mom and dad's careers are well-known, but when they're out on a mission, some dumb crooks break in. One GilliganCut later, the kids have the crooks hogtied and are arguing over whose turn it is to polish the weapons.
