[Radiatia]

Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?

Without a doubt it was Traiyan Silviu.

What did he do to be so badass?

After serving for many years in the Radiatian Special Operations Division (R-SOD), in which he was awarded a number of medals for bravery and gallantry - including foiling an assassination attempt, taking a bullet for another leader, apprehending terrorists and disarming bombs, Silviu ultimately is most remembered for his role in the Third Radiatian Civil War - and his role in making Radiatia a democracy.

Does he have a badass beard?

He did in the final years of his life, yes.

[Mediterraceania]

In the USM, our most badass person happened to not kill anyone. Still badass though.
Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?
Lt. Abélia LaFromboise
What did she do to be so badass?
Not only was she the first Mediterraceanian to walk on Mars, but on the return flight, food stores ran short and she had to eat the corpses of her crew members who had committed suicide during the space flight back. She wound up being the sole crew member in the reentry shuttle, which then malfunctioned and crashed into the ocean. Everyone thought she was dead until a few days later a cruise ship happened upon her floating on an aluminium panel 10 miles from the crash site.
Does she have a badass beard?
No, not really.

What did he do to be so badass?
He took command of the garrison of the besieged capital of copenhagen at the age of 13. He succesfully destroyed the besieging petrokovian army who had 3 times his numbers. He personally led the charge. He was also the strongest drinker in the world, and pretty talented with the ladies

Does he have a badass beard?
Idk you tell me

[Ghoul Society]

Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?

Yoshimura / The Non-Killing Owl

What did he do to be so badass?

First off, he tried to protect his daughter by imitating her abilities and Kakuja resulting in most organizations mistaking the two for each other. Whilst he imitated her, he set up a coffee shop to house any Ghouls looking for a home and he protected and fed them. When the establishment came under attack from Anti-Ghoul organizations he was forced to fend them off almost single-handedly and during this would express no denial to him being evil nor good which has become a mindset of many Ghouls. If you're wanting a basic run-down then you can say he was a brutally honest, caring and protective individual who tried his utter best against all odds.

Does he have a badass beard?

No.

[The Lunar Domain]

Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?

From my perspective, it was the twenty-seventh Prime Minister of the Lunar Domain, William Vlakstok.

What did he do to be so badass?

William Vlakstok came into office with the typical Republican stance at the time with respect to the so-called "Manehattan Project," an ambitious project to significantly improve the infrastructure of the overcrowded Municipality of Manehattan by quite literally building another city on top of it. This though, wasn't what he'd be remembered for.

No, Prime Minister Vlakstok would be remembered for the Changeling Riots, a period of time that truly began when the Census of 2830 indicated the First Territory had enough people in it to apply for statehood. However, a national controversy quickly followed as many were wary of the changeling species - the majority demographic of the First Territory - as a whole, fearing that their shapeshifting could be used for criminal activities as it had in the past - most notoriously in the Canterlot Invasion. This quickly became a debate within the Lunar Parliament, with one side wanting to admit the state with nothing added onto that addition, and another which wanted to restrict the extent to which changelings could use their magic (or even more drastically, actually keep a database of them), which garnered peaceful protests on both sides of the issue outside the building.

Things changed on April 27, 2831, when the Lunar Guard - the federal security force - opened fire on a peaceful protest under murky circumstances, quickly igniting riots nationwide - and subsequent military intervention as allowed in the Lunar Charter.

Back to Vlakstok, his moment of badassery came in October of 2834. After three years of violence that nearly pushed the Domain to be torn asunder, Vlakstok came to the conclusion it was his duty to solve the problem, regardless of whatever laws, or rather, the intentions of those laws, that bound him as Prime Minister. He sent a demand to the Lunar Parliament - admit the First Territory as the Changeling Territories, or else he would utilize his authority as Prime Minister to issue an Executive Order withdrawing all funding for the Manehattan Project, and withdrawing all troops that had been deployed to combat the Riots. After two weeks of a standoff that was only accentuated by more riots because of what he had proposed, the Lunar Parliament conceded and passed a resolution to admit the Territories with nothing added on. After signing the Resolution into law, Vlakstok resigned as Prime Minister. Almost immediately after the Resolution became law, the Riots dramatically dropped in both frequency and violence, and within three months, the Riots had effectively ended.

To this day in 3028, almost two centuries later, people still argue whether Vlakstok's actions were justified; whether he had truly done what a Prime Minister should have, or whether he made a mockery of a democratic system.

Did he have a badass beard?

Surprisingly for a Northern Territories human male, Vlakstok did not have a stereotypical Northie beard.

[Olwe]

Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?

Emperor Jason Frost.

What did he do to be so badass?

He's fought in every war since the Second Wizarding War, and is considered to have been instrumental in his tactical-support role enabling Harry Potter's victory. Despite being constantly on the front lines of battle (yes, he leads from the front like an old-school ruler), he's somehow managed to make it beyond 3,000 years of age. Oh, and he's also killed more than a billion people.

Does he have a badass beard?

Sometimes when he feels like it he lets his facial hair grow out, but right now he's just got stubble. One time in his late 30s and early 40s he did try to grow his beard longer than Albus Dumbledore's just to see if it could be done, though.

Does he have a badass beard?

He had a beard, yes.

[Blakullar]

'He'? 'HE'?!?

Anyway, the 'most badass' figure in the history of Mechanocratic Russia is very often recognised as General Elena Trotskaya, the Mechanocracy's spymaster, chief enforcer and 'poster-girl' for the nation, and arguably one of the most powerful warriors ever to have walked the earth.

As for how she managed to get that title, know that for a start that she has at least 600,000 kills under her belt - and that is excluding those she has ordered be put to death. She has fought in every war that the Mechanocracy has waged since she was enrolled into the armed forces and regularly attains kill-streaks numbering in the hundreds whenever she is present for a battle.

Historically, Trotskaya's favoured weapon has been a Spetsnaz-issue razor-sharp gauntlet blade and plasma rifle, but she has recently procured a fusion sword that can carve through tank armour like it's butter - and she has taken a real liking to it. She also walks around in her signature crimson plasteel-nanoweave hood and cloak, and is rarely seen without a suit of extremely-strong powered armour.

She does not, however, have a beard (make an educated guess as to why) ... but just stare into her glowing, scarlet eyes for a second and tell her that she needs one to be a badass.

[Wardie land]

Wardie land's most badass figure

Major General (Brigadier General during the campaign) Edward A. Smith, commander of the 17th Infantry Brigade, Imperial Northern Army
b. 1st July 1903 - d. 3rd August 1942

What did he do to be so badass?

Commanded the 17th Infantry Brigade, which held a Japanese invasion force over twice as large for over 2 months during the West Island Campaign of May - August 1942 (a sub-campaign of the Northern Colonies Campaign of May 1942 - January 1943), his brigade destroyed nearly half of the entire invasion force, giving the Allies a significant upper hand, he and 50 others also conducted a last stand suicide charge in order to save the remnants of the 17th Infantry Brigade, charged the Japanese soldiers with his officer's sword drawn, but was gunned down.

On 25h May 1942 Japan invaded the Northern Colonies (intended to be simultaneous with the failed attempt to invade Wardie land, the invasion force for which had been destroyed several hours earlier), a patrol seaplane of No. 103 (Coastal) Squadron RIWAF spotted the invasion force (designated "Invasion Force B") about 200 miles south-west of West iSland, this gave about 10 hours to prepare for the invasion force arrived. The closest unit to the believed Japanese landing points was B/G Smith's 4,000-strong 17th Infantry Brigade, whose jurisdiction covered the western half of the Northern Colonies. Smith had his men cover all beaches on the southern and western coasts of West Island, though he had them build machine gun nests and trenches at the rear of the beaches.

When the Japanese arrived they landed almost 10,000 men on West Island, thee 17th Infantry Brigade waited until the beaches were full, before opening fire, this caused the Japanese to take huge casualties, bombers from RIWAF St. Michael's attacked the cruisers and destroyers covering the troop transport ships, buying the 17th some protection.

Eventually, the Japanese managed to push inland, though after they had sustained heavy casualties. The 17th fell back, taking advantage of the harsh northern terrain, they kept the Japanese advance slow.

It took the Japanese until the end of July to finally reach St. Michael's, the capital of West Island, the remains of the 17th were holed up inside, it took the Japanese nearly a week to finally clear the town out and capture it, Smith and the remnants of the 17th that managed to escape fled northwards. Smith made most of the survivors take rescue boats, which had arrived from the mainland, across the West Channel, to join the main defence force on the mainland, whilst Smith, and 50 others that refused to leave him, decided to lead the Japanese north, in order to give the rest of the men time to escape.

Smith and the men who remained eventually reach Point North, the northern tip of West Island, at the point, realising their end had finally come, B/G Smith finally decided that it was time to make a last stand.

On 3rd August, the Japanese finally reached Point North, surrounded from all sides, and with their backs to a huge cliff, Smith's men decided to performed one last bayonet charge, rather than become P.O.W.s, after hearing of Japanese brutality towards P. O. W.s. Smith drew his sword and led the last 50 men on a desperate charge, they stood little chance, Smith actually managed to remain standing after receiving a hail of bullets, he looked eastwards, towards the mainland, and briefly reflected on his sacrifice that had bought most of the survivors of the 17th time to escape, and how his actions would keep the 17th alive to fight another day, as well as how he and his brigade's sacrifices may very well have ensured Allied victory in the Northern Colonies, and defended their freedom. he then died.

The Defence of West Island cost the 17th Infantry Brigade 3,618 lives, over three-quarters of the brigade had been wiped out, however it had killed about 4,581 Japanese soldiers, nearly half of the entire invasion force.

Smith's actions did more than just save the 17th Infantry Brigade, he and his brigade's sacrifices actually did a great deal towards the Allied victory in the Winterland Campaign in January 1943. The 5,419 Japanese soldiers that remained invaded the mainland, where they were quickly bogged down by superior Allied numbers, tactical skill and technology, who had been given time to reinforce during the 17th Infantry Brigade's desperate battle to hold the Japanese back.

The Japanese advance stalled, the Allies took the offensive, and the Japanese were forced back to the western coast, where they fought to the end, on 8th January 1943 a huge Japanese banzai charge was made, the surviving Japanese soldiers had run out of supplies, and were unable to escape, nearly all were slaughtered, the next day Allied forces crossed over the West Channel to West Island, they encountered light Japanese resistance, which was quickly defeated, on 12th January 1943 the Wardie land flag was raised once more over St. Michael's, West Island was once again free and the Winterland Campaign was an Allied victory.

B/G Smith was honoured by Wardie land and the other Allied powers for his actions and honourable self-sacrifice, he was hailed as a hero who gave the Japanese hell all the way until the end, he is also viewed as being instrumental in the relative speed in which the Japanese were defeated, it's believed that without him or his men the Winterland Campaign would've taken much longer and been much bloodier, his delaying action gave the Allies time to base units along the western coast of the mainland, meeting the Japanese as they landed and holding them on the beaches. B/G Smith was posthumously promoted to Major General, and received the Michael II's Cross for Bravery and Valour. The 17th Infantry Brigade received the nickname "Smith's Brigade", in honour of him.

Did he have a badass beard?

No, B/G Smith was clean shaven.

[Rhodevus]

Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?
Born in 1961, General Sir Richard Weivar was one of Rhodevus's finest generals. Starting as a foot soldier in the Rhodeve military, general weivar fought in countless military struggles between the country and groups of terrorists around the world, all while promoting peace during the Cold War. After leaving the army in the 90s, he became a politician, and began the movement which allowed democratically elected mayors in Rhodevus.
He later became the godfather to the King's children, as well as a knight after saving a family from a burning building, giving him a pronounceable limp. In the late 90s, he rejoined the army, as a on-field strategist, later become a corporal and finally a Captain.

What did he do to be so badass? Does he have a badass beard?
1. In 2005, a civil war began when the Prince James declared himself King, even though his sister, Princess Diana was the heir to the throne. Taking it upon himself (because Diana was locked up by James), he single handed, started a rebellion against James's rule and lead to his downfall.

2. About a year later, terrorist took over a Rhodeve building holding 50 international diplomats hostage. Again, he early single handedly took back control of the building, captured the terrorists and there was only 6 casualties, all terrorist leaders.

3. Almost a year later, the terrorists once again resurfaced with James as their leader. Becoming general of the army, General Sir Richard Weivar lead the Rhodeve and international forces against these terrorists and defeated them, although he sacrificed his own life to kill James in the end.

4. yes, he did have a baddass beard

[Old Tyrannia]

Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?
There is no shortage of candidates, but few Tyrannians have not heard of Juliana Marina Theodora Nordicana.

What did he she do to be so badass?
During the late 9th century AD, northern Tyrannia- particularly the province of Hiera- was subject to frequent raids by vikings from Scandinavia and the British Isles. There is a coastal town in Hiera named Janinus Sanctus, and one thousand years ago a woman named Juliana Marina Theodora lived there. She was the daughter of a powerful southern Tyrannian noble with blood ties to the Imperial family, and was sent north to marry a prefect named Titus Anatitus Anapater. She and Anapater had three children; a daughter, Juliana the Younger, and two sons, Marcus and Titus the Younger. Now, young Titus gained a reputation for being somewhat effeminate, and crude rumours were spread in Janinus Sanctis regarding his relationship with a certain older man named Arius, much to the consternation of his very proper southern-born noble mother. One day Theodora was being carried down the street in her litter, obscured from public view, when she overheard the passing Arius boasting to a friend about the previous night's activities with the younger Titus Anatitus Anapater. Theodora then calmly leapt out of her litter and grabbed Arius by his hair before smashing his head against the nearest wall so hard it killed him instantly.

Of course, in court the lady protested she was merely defending her family's honour, and as Theodora was from noble stock and Arius was merely a wealthy commoner, she won her case (although she did offer to face trial by combat to prove her innocence). This was not the end of the tale, however. Eight months later, the town of Janinus Sanctis was attacked by a group of Norse raiders. Their leader was a Norwegian named Harald Stonesword. The raiders easily occupied the town, which was defended by only a few dozen militiamen, and as the Anapater estate was the largest and most impressive building in the area decided to make it their headquarters. Stonesword ordered that all of the citizens should present their valuables to the vikings there, whilst the Norsemen feasted on the town's winter supplies. The prefect was only too willing to accommodate the invaders and had his wife supervise the organisation of the feast, against her protests. The Norsemen feasted well into the night, looting as they pleased and molesting the young women of the town (except for Juliana the Younger, who was kept safely hidden away in the house's cellar). Eventually, though, Stonesword made his fatal mistake.

One of the kitchen maids foolishly told the viking warchief that the master of the house had a young virgin daughter, in whose blood ran that of Tyrannia's Emperors. Of course, immediately the viking called out that he wanted to see the young mistress, heartily informing the room of his desire to make a bastard with imperial blood. While her husband cried and pleaded with the vikings to spare his only daughter, Theodora quietly said that she would, of course, go and fetch her daughter immediately. Instead she returned two minutes later with the ax that the family's servants used to chop wood. The middle-aged gentlewoman fell upon the drunken vikings with the fury of a hurricane, cutting down three of their number before reaching Stonesword, who, panicked, swung his sword around wildly in an attempt to hit the woman. He missed, and she took off his head with a single blow. The remaining vikings fled, chased by the emboldened townfolk who pursued them all the way back to their longships, dropping their ill-begotten gains behind them. Theodora was awarded the honorific Nordicana in commemoration of her great victory over the Nords. Her son Titus would go on to become a famed general and an ancestor of the current Emperor, while her daughter Juliana actually married a viking who settled in Hiera and became a subject of the Empire when peace was made between the Tyrannians and the Norse settlers. His name was Adolphus Regallius Hibernianus, and he was one of a number of famed viking-born Tyrannian military commanders who later served in Tyrannia's many wars against the Muslim rulers of Northwest Africa. Theodora's story was adapted into countless plays and operas.

Does he she have a badass beard?
She did not, but she killed a number of men who did, which must count for something.

[Svarto]

Maxim Lenyo.

In the Battle for Oil, 2015, he and a small fireteam of four patrolled quietly through some Russian oil field; oil fountains spouting oil all over the oil oil oil oil

Big mistake? Yes. The oil field burst into flames, likely caused by a Russian bullet. Two of the soldiers were set on fire and died, one ran, thinking everyone was following him, and it was just Lenyo and a soldier.

Large Russian ambush, carefully working their way through the fountains of fire to capture the leader of Svarto! Wealthy nation means good money for the motherland!

The only official, credible report came from the soldier, who said that Lenyo killed thirteen Russians before going out in a blaze of glory. The soldier was promptly captured and released in a totally-not-under-the-table-Svarto-bribed-Russia kind of deal.

Due to his death, and status as leader of Svarto, a violent overthrow of the government happened and now we're facist. This was three months ago.

He did not have a beard.

[Omarios]

Birzakh Ibn Tuwaid

Born in 1798, Birzakh Ibn Tuwaid never accepted the new and modernized Omarios, he completely rejected the newly formed liberal government of the Omarian Empire. He is probably best known for his rebellion, which lasted 4 years (1840 - 1844), where he fought the Omarian Empire's Army using swords while they used muskets. He was eventually killed after being circled by the army, and shot by a machine gun along with what was left of his soldiers.

Col. al-Mudarbar al-Enne
During the Omarian - Yavonian War that lasted from 1940 - 1946, Colonel al-Mudarbar held off an overwhelming Yavonian force of an estimated 30,000 soldiers, where he had just 2,000 soldiers left with him. The Omarians entrenched themselves and continuously waited for 4 days. The fighting went on for 3 months, eventually Colonel al-Mudarbar was killed, and so did ALL of his 2,000 men, at the cost of around 13,000 Yavonian soldiers.

[Renetopia]

Who was/is your nation's most badass historical figure?

General Ramavo Trimmerham

What did he do to be so badass?

During the 1940's, the Renetopian Civil War raged as the Empire of Maladerlo, a fascist state, took control of most of the country. The only part that wasn't occupied was the island chain of Valcon. During the great Battle of Valcon, Ramavo Trimmerham led an army of only 2,000 men against an invading force of 400,000 and won. He lost an eye and two fingers in the battle, but kept on commanding his troops even though every single person advised him not to. He later joined the Rebellion and subsequently became it's leader. Instead of commanding his troops from afar, he went into battle with them and participated in every major battle during the Civil War. In one battle he ran out of ammo so he resorted to fighting with a machete and a steel pipe. After the war, he was elected the first president of Renetopia, served two terms and survived numerous assassination attempts. The current pacifist liberal secular country that is Renetopia was formed on his principles. After all that, the died at the age of 102.

He is known as The Man Who Refused to Die.

Did he have a badass beard?

No, but he had a badass eyepatch.
