Badass Creed/Fan Works
- In the Daria Expanded Universe Fanfic series ' Tales of the Ringbearers ', The Ringbearer's Creed:
We are the Ringbearers |
- Not to be outdone, those who wear the corrupted versions of the Rings - the Ringwraiths - have their own creed, which is infinitely more Badass:
Our enemies fall, from low and high |
- The Epic Tiberium Wars Fanfic has this from a Mammoth Tank crewman:
Yea verily, though I charge through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am driving a house-sized mass of "fuck you." |
- The Black Hand have their own, more solemn creed:
We have sworn our lives in the service of the Brotherhood. |
- From Chapter 35 of Diashi Prime's Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Fanfic "Endless Waltz" comes what will become the Creed and Oaths of the Twilight Paladins:
"I stand between the Light and the Darkness, between the Innocent and the Monstrous, between the Just and the Vile. I dwell at the edge of Darkness, that others may live in the Light. I am a Twilight Paladin. As such, I hereby take these oaths: |
- Chapter 12 of CSS.Stravag's "Legend Of The Jokers Wild Revised" has this:
"I am the Archangel of Solace, bound forever to those who wish not to go quietly into the night. I will not rest until it is assured that Existence is not damned to annihilation in the days of Ragnarok. So is my duty written, so shall it be." |
- Shadow Crystal Mage's Takamachi Nanoha of 2814 has the Wolkenritter Oath,
though so far only in the omake material and pollsfinally appearing in chapter 15:
“In days of peace, in times of war, |
- Also, an altered Red Lantern Oath:
"With Blood and Rage of crimson red, |
"I am the one who has been given a mission. Under the contract, release these powers. The winds are in the sky, the stars are in the heavens, the light is in my hands and the power is in my heart! And I shall shed my light over dark evil, for the dark things cannot stand the light, the light of the Green Lantern! Raging Heart Emerald Excelion, Set Up!"
"Magical Girl Green Lantern, Zenryoku Zenkai! Ready for action!" |
- An old Fanfiction by the name of "Standing Tall" from the now defunct site Second Impact hosted, quite possibly, one of the most Badass of Badass Creeds ever written; and it's delivered by Gendo Ikari of all people, to the face of a newly-restored Adam, describing human determination.
"Bring your thousands, I have my axe." |
- Also, Rei reverse-mindfucking Lilith, when the skinny girl literally thrusts her belief in life into Lilith's core in addition to the Lance of Longinus.
"If I am alone, why can I hear their voices?" |
- ToyHammer has this gem from a
Space Marinethe Badass Abnormal in a world of Warhammer 40,000, just as he activates a wall of gatling guns to shred a pack of advancing daemons:
"THOUGH I FACE THE SHADOWS OF THE WARP, |
- One of the Space Marine battle-brothers, though, does call out on the lack of sense of that last line.
- From the Ranma ½/SailorMoon fanfic, Paragon
From out of darkness comes a light. |
- The author of Zero Shock has posted a pair of Badass Creeds in the style of Archer's Unlimited Blade Works chant based around Jack's Bee Plasmid. They can be found here, for the first one that would be in the centerpiece of a Crowning Moment of Awesome, and here, which is a Crowning Moment of Funny in itself.
- From the Tin Man fanfic "Tin," there's the Tin Man Oath of Service:
I swear to defend with my axe |
- This troper read a fic where the main character's creed is "(I am) a fallen angel, a risen demon, a gargoyle gaurding a church of sin and despair. I am vengeance made manifest. Nox Denticula.Night's fang. Dammed lot, stained with the blood of the innocent. I pronounce you guilty. And the guilty shall be punished for their crimes!"
- Not literally from a fanfic, but the hypothetical Orange Lantern oath:
This Power is mine, this is my light, |
