The entire roster of Battle of the Eras.

His body is made of swords, you know.

mirrion brade worksssss?

...

Here we have a character who wrote himself from beyond the 4th wall, then made the composers give him his own theme song and several remixes, and ultimately became one of the biggest icons of the franchise.
Doesn't get much more badass than that.

One of the biggest problems with the word "badass" is how its basically been co-opted by the "edgy" meme (hell its happening with half this thread), which is understandable but now it feels like you can't talk about characters that come from more serious tones and contexts, and thus have stronger demeanors, fiercer appearances, and harsher/tough dialogue without the meme rearing its ugly head. Its kind of a shame as I tend to like characters like those more.

Anyways mine is this motherfucker right here. I'm quite literally autistic about this character. His name is Fenix, and he's (at least to me personally), arguably the greatest character in gaming history. I played StarCraft 1 as a kid, didn't know much but my reading comprehension was pretty decent for my age, and I had a grasp on what was "cool" to me and what wasn't. First mission in, I meet this dude.


The story goes on with him leading the charges and frays against the Zerg (who terrified me at the time, body-horror looking motherfuckers) and just being the most boisterous, tough, fiercest alien who ever existed. He did everything with a sense of honor and incredible backbone. Basically the manliest fucking character.

Then the 3rd mission into the campaign he fucking dies after being abandoned to the zerg armies

Guess what? That's not even close to the end of his story. His body gets recovered and he survives in the shell of a dragoon-fighter. One of the main characters returns and finds this out and this little conversation happens


Keep in mind that this dude loyally served these motherfuckers for how long? Its basically the equivalent of looking like a heretic to your entire nation to save a traitor, but he knew what was right. He shrugs off death like fucking nothing, and doesn't seem to understand the concept of fear, while also being an excellent tactician and warrior.

I won't go too much further as I might as well copy-paste the entirety of the protoss campaign if I do, but this dude is a friggin' maniac. He's got psionic blades on his arms and aaaaaaah. Its one of those childhood hero things you never get over, I guess.

Probably the best playable character in just about any official fighting game.

...

personally i've always liked silent personality-less characters that end up annihilating everything in their path. (e.g. any soulsborne protagonist)

like poetry.

Of course he lives. He never dies.

Fuck persona 1. People shit on 3 and 4, but those at least have some redeeming qualities.

Rean's actually a good kid.

He's American.

...

Also, he kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.

And women can't resist him.
