Sten: Difference between revisions

* [[Battle Cry]]: "Ayo Gurkhali!" (Which is the [[Nepali With Nasty Knives|Gurkhas']] ''real'' battle cry.) In English, the full version of this [[Battle Cry]] means [[Badass Boast|"Blood for Kali, the Ghurkhas are coming!]]"

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: The below quote from Marr and Senn, the adorable Milchen cooks.

'''Senn''': [[Literal Minded|Do we have to?]]<br />

'''Marr''': The one thing we know, dear, is kitchens. And if these brutes invade ''my'' kitchen, they are going to be very sorry.<ref>Then, using a program designed to steam-clean the kitchen and a broken oven, they basically cook a bunch of Praetorians alive.</ref> }}

** [[Invulnerable Knuckles]]

* [[Hideous Hangover Cure]]: Angelo stew. Actually sounds pretty tasty, but '''''spicy'''''.

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Paraphrased from ''Empire's End'': "Given the chance, he would turn anything given to him into a weapon. A piece of paper would do just fine. A glass would be even better."

* [[Informed Attribute]]: Sten's aformentioned [[Combat Pragmatist|Combat Pragmatism]]. He's never shown committing violence toward any female, despite the universal gender-equity of his society. The vast majority of the fighting females happen to be on his side in most cases; if they aren't, (like an assassin, or Lady Atago) it's usually someone else who does the job for him.

* [[World of Badass]]: The whole series is about hardcore people outclassing other hardcore people, usually in combat, but sometimes in battles of wits as well.

* [[You Killed My Father]]: In a subversion, Baron Thoresen actually tells Sten this; Sten knew the Baron, but had no reason to believe the Baron knew ''him.''

'''Thoresen''': Yes. Intimately. I killed your family. }}
