A badass is a character who's able to stand on his or her own, without the need of a social network, and who is willing to take on incredible odds. It's a role players are often glad to assume. The character might be out for the social good, as Batman is, or just out for himself, as is Mel Gibson's character in The Road Warrior is. Even people who, in real life, are politically correct goodasses, will secretly confess over their fourth beer that there's nothing like playing a badass. |
