Line 12:
Consequently, they travel, seeking greater and greater enemies to fight, hoping to find a [[Worthy Opponent]] [[Strike Me Down|to finally kill them.]] Sometimes they'll fail to die so spectacularly and repeatedly that they acquire riches, renown, ranks or romance as a result of their exploits. This rarely, but sometimes, stops them.
 
The '''The Death Seeker''' generally fills a role somewhere between the [[Blood Knight]] and [[The Atoner]], depending on their outlook and cause. They may be an opponent to the main characters, seeking them as a warrior who can best them, or they may help the heroes in whatever immensely dangerous task needs doing. [[Irony|Ironically]], the Death Seeker usually dies shortly after [[Worth Living For|finding a reason to live]].
 
If a villain is one of these, it's sometimes mixed with shades of [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] or [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: they want to die, and they don't care if they have to drag the rest of creation down with them to do it. The worst of them ''want'' to destroy everything else too.
