Example me out a list of characters that would be under this definition. I cant name a character that is just badass with no other character traits outside of it.

^Larxene, Matt Parkman, any character Chuck Norris portrays, Storm from X-Men (at least from the movies, portrayed by Halle Berry), Superman (at least in my opinion), Deadpool, Gamora, etc... Shall I go on?

*Looks at your name* Yep, can see why you said Larxene. Storm and Larxene have character traits besides being badass. As for the males you mentioned...I only know Superman and he has outside character traits.

^Are you sure we're talking about the same Storm here? Because the one portrayed by Halle Berry in the films is so bland and lacks so much depth that she might as well be a cardboard cutout.

And Larxene does have character traits outside of badass... "hotness".

Yes, I am talking about the same Storm you are. The move one. Also hotness isn't really a character trait per say. She's more than just a pretty face you see. Are we even playing the same game? Or do you just hate her because she was cold, ruthless and not to mention sadistic?

I see we think the opposite. I saw life in the movie Storm.

Again, if that's ALL a character has, then I wouldn't like them. They remind me of Mary Sues and I hate those. -_-
By the way, who's Larxene?

@Egypt: To some people, "cold, ruthless, and sadistic" may fall under the "badass" category. I am one of those people, at least for Larxene (though this may just be bias since I hated her when I first played Chain of Memories). A character either needs depth or needs to be entertaining. Larxene is neither to me.

Also, I know this has nothing to do with Storm as a character, but Halle Berry can't act for sh**, at least as Storm. Her performance as this boring character is awful and wooden.

@Hate Sure in different perspectives you can say that falls under being "badass" like in mine, that doesn't fall under badass for me. Personally I thought she was quite entertaining.

Really huh? Guess that's also a different view because I thought she portrayed Storm pretty good.

I don't like it but I don't dislike it either. I supposed I'd rather have the character in question than a Sue/Stu or an outright boring one...

@hatelarxene Woah woah woah. Rewind there. I only can argue Larxene full heartedly here cause shes the only one I know a lot about and I can very much say Larxene has more to her than badass. Actually, I wouldnt even call her badass in the first place. Actually, I used to have a username on another website as "LarxeneKH". She used to be my favorite when I knew little to nothing about the series, but even now as a fullhearted fan, shes still a character I like quite a bit

As for Deadpool, I havent seen much from him but straight off the bat I can give you one more trait. Hilarious.

Regardless, I am not going to get in a flame war on Kingdom Hearts with you. That game is to be loved and talked about in a more positive tone so I would rather not ruin it by trying to explain to you the details on each character.

^You call Deadpool hilarious, I call him a one-dimensional, boring douche. To each their own, I guess.
But I agree, I don't think we should have a Kingdom Hearts flame war.

If the character is bland and has no characteristics other than being a badass, they tend to get on my nerves. I like my badass characters with a backstory on how they became strong and how 'sorry-not-sorry' they are when they are kicking butt or they just want to prove themselves.
