Fouteur de merde / fouteuse de merde !!!
It is exactly the Hachette-Oxford entry for "bad ass"
Don't know whether it fits your context.
Cf. Hachette-Oxford:
bad ass[!!]noun US fouteur/-euse m/f de merde[!!!].
HTH, Olivier

racaille
D'après Tony Thorne, Contemporary Slang, badass = (an) aggressive, antisocial or worthless (person). The word, first popular among black Americans, is almost always now used with an element of approval or admiration, albeit sometimes grudging.

alx
: un "bad boy" se dit avec admiration tandis que racaille a une connotation néga: on peut être fier d'être un bad boy mais pas une "caille".

Note from asker:
| Hi, the character for the dots should be Shift + circonflexe if you are using a North American keyboard set for French. ;) |
| Maybe it will help you to find it on an AZERTY ;) |
