Bad Boys TV Trope

Bad boy with...

1. A good side (X)

The soft beeps let him know that the soup was done, and he blew it so it would cool faster. "I brought you soup, nana." X said. He loved his grandmother; she was the only one who really loved him back.

"Thank you, baby." She stroked his face. "You find a job?"

Actually... he was close to giving up. "No, nana, but I will! Those DAMN penguins-"

Nana's voice was strict, but kind. "We don't speak about people or animals that way. You just keep saying your prayers. God will help you find a way."

2. A soft side (Savio)

The animals were tougher in Hoboken. Gritty. In all the worst ways. And there was NO way Savio was goin' near that mess. It happened one morning, as he was just taking a stroll. A loud chirping noise near a tree. "Perfect," He thought. "A decent lunch, finally." As he slithered over and the chirping got louder, he realized what it was. He honed in, and-!

"Here you go, little one." He muttered, placing a baby bird back in it's nest. It hopped from his mouth into the nest, along with it's siblings. Savio smiled. "You are safe now."

3. A good back story (Red Squirrel)

"It's time to wake up, munchkin!" Her voice was comforting, and she touched him gently, waking him.

He smiled, hugging her around the neck. "Mother..." He muttered, making her giggle.

"Yes, my son. I'm here. I have made you breakfast! It's your favorite!" He jumps out of his little bed and smells the air.

"Mmmm... Acorns! I love acorns!" The squirrel said, his tail even quivering in delight. He wished every day could be like this...

His singular eye snapped open from the distant memory that felt like a dream. The red squirrel shook his head, and got to work.

4. A bad back story (Blowhole)

Blowhole knew what was expected of him by now, and he accepted it. It wasn't a great life... but it was better than where he had come from. His father hated him. Tried to kill him while his mother... just watched. His father didn't even really like his mother. He kidnapped her... raped her... and wanted to kill Blowhole now just to repeat the process. He had damn near succeeded, too, had the tide not come in. So... the life he had now... wasn't bad, not yet. But it was better than where he came from.

And that was enough.

5. A horrible back story (Riatonni/Rat King)

He shivered as he was placed back into the cage. He always shivered when he went back. Because he knew that it was only a temporary sort of safety. A temporary haven... something that couldn't hide the horrors he was going to see and have to endure later. And Riatonni knew... it was only a matter of time before... He looked over in his cell, seeing some of his cagemates, feeling a dreadful, sinking feeling. Several of them had hideously grotesque growths anywhere and everywhere. They were the lucky ones. He only hoped the same fate would not befall him.

6. A funny secret (Clemson)

Clemson the lemur looked around, making sure no one else was there. Maurice was the most troublesome. He liked to pop up when he wasn't wanted... which was a lot.

Once he was finally sure he was alone, he dug around the small bag he had hidden in the crate that brought him here. Finally, he found what he was looking for, and pulled them out. With a blonde wig on his head and a small microphone in his hand, he started singing. "You can dance, you can tryyy, having the time of your liiiife! You are the dancing queeeeeen!"

7. A bad secret (Amarillo Kid)

Miniature golf was his life, he loved how much the sport made him think of that... instead of the other things.

The Amarillo Kid sighed and leaned on his putter. It was days like this that he needed to ignore the terrible things that happened... Would he be forgiven for what he did? He could have stopped them, from crossing that road that day. But how couldn't they see, that eighteen wheeler barreling toward the small family of his own kind.

It was deja vu as he turned back to what he was doing... ignoring what was long behind him.

8. A hobby (Hans)

It was slow going, to make all the little pieces stay in place. Hans didn't want to lose any... even though he was in the worst place possible for this activity... Hoboken. Not that he was bitter or anything... He sighs and continues on, placing another piece in his puzzle. He did enjoy puzzles. Everything had it's place, and no one went anywhere they weren't supposed to, in a special type of order where everyone was important. He placed the final piece and admired his handy-work, the scene: a pleasant paradise with many colorful birds and flowers. A perfect place.

9. A story (Archie)

"Sorry... it's been slim pickin's tonight, sir." Archie said, setting down his haul in front of the boss. They had the scam down pat. They would beg, pretending to be poor animals down on their luck, before returning all they could to their boss. But Archie wanted more from his life than just that.

The boss nodded." Fine. Take your cut and go." Archie took his share, but that night he didn't stop at the trashcan he lived in. No. Tonight, he was gonna keep running. And he wasn't going to stop until he found a real life.

10. A cause (Joey)

Joey liked his privacy. He enjoyed being alone, and not bothered. And when he was bothered, he knew that someone would be paying the price. But it wasn't like he was a cold and callous monster. He just... knew what he wanted. Though... if there was ever a time someone needed help... they didn't even have to hesitate to ask. They knew that they could count on him, and he would do his best. And that's what he wanted. To be known as the dependable jerk-hole. In the end, that's what fit him.

Mean by day... super hero by night.

A/N: Alright, so number 10 was a bit hard for me, and I'm not a hundred percent sure it fit... but I did my best. I loved doing these, most of the bad guys are so intriguing, I already have a bit of a fan-crush on Rat King, to be quite honest! Questions, comments, requests, send 'em all in, I'll read them and... try to get back to you with more. Until next time!
