Glory Seeker: Difference between revisions

Usually some sort of military officer, but not neccessarily so, he can be a crusading knight charging heedlessly into the fray, a lone desperado out to make a name for himself, a [[Bounty Hunter]] going after the toughtest targets. He may or may not enjoy the spoils of war, he may or may not believe in what he's fighting for, he may be a [[Miles Gloriosus|coward who is all talk]] or a [[Blood Knight]] who revels in the slaughter, but the defining trait of the [[Glory Seeker]] is that he craves the [[Hundred Percent Heroism Rating|adoration of the masses]] and [[It Has Been an Honor|respect of his peers]] -- and hates most of all [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|not being respected]]. He might grow disillusioned after a while, or he might never learn. If met out of combat, may appear to be the [[Miles Gloriosus]], but actual danger will reveal the truth.

Will sometimes say [[Think Nothing of It]] if he really didn't earn it -- but don't count on it. Frequently found with [[In HarmsHarm's Way]]. Loves [[Famed in Story]], and finds [[What You Are in The Dark]] and [[Secret Test of Character]] particularly hard.

[[Proud Warrior Race Guy]] is almost always a [[Glory Seeker]]. Contrast [["Well Done, Son" Guy]], who wants [[So Proud of You|one person's praise]]. Compare [[Martyrdom Culture]], where being a [[Glory Seeker]] is considered a noble calling.
