Some [[Badass|badasses]] are not satisfied with ''just'' a [[Badass Mustache]] or [[Perma
In short, it's what happens when the [[Badass Mustache]] gets cranked [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 71:
** That's because in Middle Earth, shavin's fer SISSIES!
*** [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Did you just insult the entire Elven race?]]
*** [[Our Elves Are Better|But do Elves]] [[Perma
*** Well, Cirdan Shipwright has a long, grey beard in the novels.
** How dare you include mention of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' and not mention Gandalf?
Line 180:
* [[Santa Claus]], of course.
* Many representations of the [[The Bible|Judeo-Christian]] [[God]]. Also, the literal patriarchs: Abraham, Moses, Noah, etc.
** And let's not forget Jesus. Blame it on the art and ''especially'' on [[wikipedia:Jesus of Nazareth
*** Sure, he may not have looked exactly like he does in those portraits, but he almost certainly had a beard.
* Most of the [[Norse Mythology|Norse Gods]] particularly Odin, Thor, and Tyr are commonly depicted and described as having some truly epic facial hair.
Line 221:
** Taken up a notch in ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations]]''. Ezio is now is his [[Badass Grandpa|early fifties]]<ref>Keep in mind, in the Renaissance this was '''old'''.</ref> and sports an even fuller beard.
** And in the newest trailer for Desmond in [[Assassin's Creed Revelations]] there is a short shot of Desmond sporting one of these.
* {{spoiler|Captain Price}} in ''[[Modern Warfare]] 2''. Gaz in the first ''Modern Warfare'' game also had one. Soap, meanwhile, favors [[Perma
* Slayer from ''[[Guilty Gear]]''.
* Kratos from ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]''.
Line 241:
** And Gen. ''Definitely'' Gen.
** Zangief also has a [[Badass Beard]].
* Isaac in ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' sports one 30 years later after saving the world in the previous game. A NPC comments that [[Hot Dad|Isaac is quite the looker for his age]] and many women are attracted to him. He's only 47! [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101018184943/goldensun/images/f/fe/DDIsaac.png see for yourself.]
** [[Older Than They Look|Forty-seven apparently going on twenty-seven]], [[A Wizard Did It|due to Alchemy]].
** {{spoiler|Briggs}} also grew a mighty long beard in the last thirty years. His son favors the [[Perma
* Bill Overbeck from ''[[Left 4 Dead]]''. Francis could also count.
* [[Troperrific|Obligatory]] ''[[Touhou]]'' example: Unzan. The fact that he's a cloud really helps.
** [[Badass Grandpa|Youki Konpaku]] tends to be depicted this way in fanarts.
* Adam Jensen from ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]''.
* Putting a beard on a male [[Player Character]] was possible in ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'', but ''[[Oblivion]]'' reduced your options to five-o'clock shadow. [[Bethesda]] brought true beards back for ''[[Skyrim]]'', [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].
* Putting a beard and/or mustache on male non-elf [[Player Character|player characters]] in ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]'' is as easy as clicking "Toggle Facial Hair" during character creation.
** Among non-player characters, we have the bald, bearded Khelgar Ironfist, and mustache/goateed Ammon Jerro. ''Storm of Zehir'' adds Septimund and Ribsmasher.
