There seems to be a lot of people who think that people get into fights with agents of evil everyday, Badass just wouldn't really be useful. Beauty, Charm and Diplomacy? You would never HAVE to be a badass. Plus you'd probably end up more well-off, the business world is just as much about charm and charisma than actual business know-how.
If I were to be badass, I wouldn't enjoy having the weightlifters kind of muscle. Also, if one is intelligent, picking up a fighting art and becoming good at it is a matter of repetition and muscle memory.Dr Ampersand said:
I suppose it all depends who gets the heightened intelligence. I'd assume beauty, were we going to be able to manipulate people.

And you most certainly may. If you don't have a gun by then I'll loan you one of the rifles or my shotgun. I plan on doing the roof patrol with one of my rifles. >_< Y'know... Target practice!
Most of my katanas are faux, but I do have one real one. It was a gift.
And I'm sure you know... Don't bring a knife to a gunfight!
I'll stay close with one of those shotguns, then, if a horde somehow manages to get close.la-le-lu-li-lo said:Sorry for the late response!

My one katana is fake, too, but there's that crowbar in my car, so I'll be alright.
And unless the zombies learn how to use guns, I should be alright in a pinch with a hunting knife. Besides, Courage Wolf says "Bring a knife to a gunfight. Stab them while they're laughing."
I actually prefer personality and sense of humor over both of the choices presented. But looks has a very big part in my choice to women.
pinpoint accuracy between the eyes = badass? beauty = eyes. so badass pwns beauty.Kimarous said:
What did I miss here? Badass = Awesome. Awesome for the sake of awesome is the pure essence of awesomeness.
Badass doesn't necessarily mean brawn/brute. The ninja is a master of many arts, you could say a BADASS of many arts.
I was going by the definition of "badass" as laid out by the OC: "ugly, tough, a trained fighter, someone a lot like Marv from sin city." It is, quite frankly, a terrible conceptualization of badassery, but regardless, I crafted my answer as a counterpoint to such criteria.Cypher10110 said:
Fair enough! Sounds like we got a plan. ^^Jedoro said:
Heh, you make a good point my friend. I'll make sure never to laugh at someone bringing a knife to a gunfight, I'd rather not get stabbed over such a silly thing.
I would go for beauty if i could add being manipulative to that list.
People are after all easily manipulated by pretty faces and that would also help in getting shit done without having to turn into a ugly badass.
And people respond better to good looking people then ugly ones anyway

Beauty.
Good looks and fast talking can get you into a top secret military base...where you can steal something and become badass.

I lack the intelegence option.
you have bad buy, pretty-buy but you lack the geeky one.
I can't really decide as neitehr appeals to me, i can't help but picture the options as eitehr the lame fakeshallow pretty-boy type, who cares way too much about scoring and fancy clothes and not about a lot of other things, and the stupid dickhead on steroids who cares about biceps, big chains and cars (gangsta if you will)
Dunno why i always picture the worst case scenarios when thinking bout sterotypes.
Whiel writing this, the mental picture of the geeky type i asked for is suddenly changing from a gamer-type, to a sterotypical pictured skinny, sun-alelrgic and socially awkward nerd who'll remain a virgin forever in my head.
But yeah, tough/badass and pretty/chariming are all thats really described about the 2 choices, and neitehr of those appeal to me as a defining characteristic.
