Blood Knight: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

A common version found in Eastern fiction is the ''Wandering Martial Artist'', who [[Walking the Earth|travels around the world/country]] looking for strong opponents to test his skills against. Luckily, this might be coupled with love of only ''specific'' fights such as duels, meaning he is not otherwise a particularly violent man.

If there's a whole society of guys like him, you've got a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race~~]]. If the character likes the 'killing' part more than the 'fighting' part, they're a [[Psycho for Hire~~]]. The [[Egomaniac Hunter]] also thrives on aimless violent thrill and loves a worthy quarry instead of opponent. If a character is in it for the challenge rather than just the fight, then we've got a [[Spirited Competitor]]. The Blood Knight's love of combat may be platonic, or it may have [[Interplay of Sex and Violence|sexual undertones.]]

May be from a [[Martyrdom Culture]] and will often believe that [[War Is Glorious]]. As a rule they are just about always [[Not Afraid to Die]].

Someone that really enjoys in ''killing'' is [[Ax Crazy]], but of course there is plenty of room for overlap.

A [[Monster Knight]] has a high chance of being one.
